Not a pretty win but that was a nailbiting win by the Stamps 25-22.
Bo Levi Mitchell did not have a good game early but he made it happen when the game is on the line. Overall, it was just an exciting win especially against the Edmonton Eskimos. It is something that I always enjoy all the time, Stampeders beating the Eskimos or the Riders. I don't really care if the win is pretty or not.
I thought DT Micah Johnson, DB Tunde Adeleke and R Juwan Brescacin had a great game. Adeleke responded to the challenge very well when Stamps DB started going down one at the time. First, he took Tommi Campbell's spot when Campbell went down and he did well against Bowman and Walker. Then Campbell came back but Jamar Wall left the game and again Adeleke responded very well. Even Adam Thibault responded when he replaced Ciante Evans.
Micah Johnson was a force also and Juwan Brescacin responded very well replacing the injured receiver Davaris Daniels.
Anyways, Mitchell throwing was off. He threw a couple of INTs on a double coverage. He had to rely on McDaniel too much and Eskimos D knew it. Messam didn't really have a lot of touch but whenever he does he gets stop early except for one play where he racked up 16 yards I believe. Rene Paredes was just awful especially on the convert missing 2 that almost cost us the game.
Defense were decimated by injuries tonight especially on secondary but they did hang on. It wasn't their best game though. When they gave up that late TD by the Eskimos and the Eskies were celebrating way too much with bunch of them hugging the goalpost, I thought I hope that early celebrations blow up in their faces. Then the slashing gesture indicating game is over wasa classic blow up on ther faces too. There is a reason the Stampeders is #1 in the CFL and there is a reason Bo Levi Mitchell is the best QB and Dickenson one of the smartest HC in the CFL. They always respond to adeversity always.

Even with Esks offence actually looking pretty good most of the game and ours looking mediocre by Stamps standards they still couldn't beat us. This is one of those games where the defence played a great bend but don't break game.
Somehow this team just keeps winning. I don't think the Stamps were strong in any facet of the game today but did just enough to win.
BLM still looks off. I hope it's a minor injury. At this point, they need to start thinking of Buckley for a week IMO.
And those injuries. I'm worried about the news going forward. Both Daniels and Turners looked bad (Daniels did walk off however). Hopefully the rest are minor.
As an aside, when Parker caught that deep pass to setup the game winning TD, was I the only one that wondered why the play was blown dead? It looked to e like he landed and got up without being touched.
Edit. Jason Maas is a real POS. From the incident with the league last year to the the tantrum last night. His lack of professionalism rubbed off on his team and it was fitting that the 'throat cut' gesture had such a big impact.

Yeah someone please explain this, is this some sort of CFL rule?
Watching the highlights on TSN, man Maas is being extremely tone deaf with regard to the concussion protocol.
I get that it wasn't an ideal time to take Reilly out, but wow he's acting like the league is against him. These doctors doing their job, no need to lash out like that.

Receiver must be down by contact and it didn't look like Parker was touched but the point is moot because he didn't do anything after he got up.
As soon as he stands up he's grabbed by two Edmonton defenders and the play is simultaneously blown dead. He didn't make much of an effort to score nor did he argue the call.

I think he was more mad about the blatant headshot that should've been roughing the passer. Then to punish Edmonton by pulling their QB meant they got screwed twice on the same play.
And if it wasn't a headshot, then why pull him out?
He still looked like a child having a tantrum but he's not tone deaf. He's just pissed.
What a game!! I was planning on going up this weekend for that one but balked at the last minute, kinda regretting that one now. Eskimos were just a pathetic display of not being able to keep their cool, Stamps org is clearly a step above them when you see crap like that.

I agree with you but I also understand Reilly's point after the game.
He stated that “How are you going to take me out of the game for a hit to the head and there's no flag on it? That's my question,”
Now I didn't think it was helmet to helmet nor did his head bounce off the turf. He was smoked as hard as you will see, no question, but it wasn't a head shot. When he got up you can see he is feeling it, but nothing indicated head injury.
I think both he and Maas have a reasonable question as to why it was done. I think it needs to be pretty clearly head trauma before forcibly removing a guy.

Agreed. If you watch the replay, it wasn't a head shot. But the sheer force of the hit and Riley's reaction caused concern for those spotting for head injury. So his statement about being taken out for a hit to the head is false. He was removed because of a possible head injury due to a violent impact.
Quite simply, the mechanism of injury has no bearing on whether a player gets pulled for concussion protocol.
That's how I see it anyway.

Right...under the chin on the chest, not on the chin.
You claimed it was a "blatant headshot", which is pure fiction.
Reilly himself said it wasn't to the head, not sure what you are arguing here.
Sounds like an Eskimo fan in Cecil.
Reading their forums, you'd think Reilly was decapitated.
Pretty clear from that replay that it is not a headshot but a clean, head to chest hit.
Edit - looking at that replay, his head snaps back then a second snapping motion as he hits the ground. Looks like his head hit the ground too. Pretty legitimate assessment of the cfl to have him pulled and checked.

It seemed to me they blew the whistle as he was lying on his back or just getting up.
Hard to say whether he would have been in a position to get more yards, but I do know, hearing the whistle isn't always conducive to the play continuing and Parker being motivated to keep going.

It wasn't a headshot but Reilly looks like he's a bit woozy when he got up then during the time he was walking to the huddle. I was not surprised when they took him out of those plays. Jason Maas was a former QB and don't seem to believe QB gets concussions.
I don't agree with him questioning the protocol. Yes i know it w an important time of the game. They did score anyways.
I drove to Red Deer to do some work at 2 casinos. On the way, I have to tuned the radio to a Red Deer FM radio station. They were playing good music but the radio guy was so bitter about the Eskimo's lost and saying the referee loves the RED team always and the ref robbed and Esks got beat because of a bad call. I have no idea what is the bad call that he was referring to? Eskimos lost because the Stamps are better than them and their team is so undisciplined including their head coach.
For all of the violence, that was a clean hit, with the face mask to the V of the jersey. Most of the damage would have been caused by the head snap, and once again the awful job of recognition and protection by the Edmonton Oline.
If Mass and Reilly should be mad at anyone its the lazy and terrible technique by the right side of his line.
