That felt like a 1-0 win vs the Wild.

Wooohoo Stamps won a stinker!! A win is a win I guess. Kudos to our defense on this game Brandon Smith and Keon Raymond.

For such a poorly played game by the Stamps it sure was fun to watch, well the fourth quarter was at least... We're very lucky to have won this game.

The Big Chill · 07-14-2011, 09:18 PM

We sure do have a lot of kinks to work out. I have been really impressed by the defense so far though.

The D was only -13 on the game and we still barely won, so yea our offense has some issues.

Stamps with 2.5 terrible games and they are 2-1. I'll take it.

OzSome · 07-14-2011, 09:43 PM

As I recall, we have some similar games last season as well especially in the first few games. Too many changes in this team so i am still giving them some time to gel together.

The thing is in all 3 games it isn't like the Stamps have been outplayed. They were better than the god awful Argos in the first game, BC wasn't any better than the Stamps last week and this week as they said on QR77 the Stamps were a little less awful at the end of the game.

If the Stamps were squeaking these wins out after being outplayed I would be concerned but what I think we are seeing is that outside of Montreal every team is really awful so far at the start of the season and it will take time for the good teams like the Stamps to work out their kinks which lets bad teams like the Argos and Bombers stay close early in the season.

Smith and Raymond are beasts. Fassit get healthy fast and team up with Tisdale. Morley at safety I like the secondary.

Flickered Flame · 07-14-2011, 10:17 PM

My biggest concern going into the season was the secondary, they have actually been the steadiest group on the team so far. I like what I have seen. Morley is a keeper! Love his hits.

That hit by Morley to cause the fumble was the TSN turning point IMO.

They are lucky to be 2-1 but they could be 1-2 or 0-3 but they could also be 3-0 had they made one more play vs the Argos. Its still early, they have 2 wins, I'm not completely worried, yet.

Still not happy with what I am seeing from Burris. JMO he is not leading this team by example. Defense won this game and a the last second shank job by the Bomber kicker. Great game by Raymond. Taylor continues to give the offence great field position and Burris continues to stall. 183 yrds passing average in the CFL but not good. I'll be happy we scraped by with a win for 2 valuable points but this Offense has to start clicking. On another point the Stamps took way too many penalties, Holy crap 166yds!

Erick Estrada · 07-15-2011, 07:16 AM

In October/November nobody will care how they got the wins in July but I sure hope the offense gets their act together soon as it's hard to watch so much talent look so bad on the field. The way Burris is playing it looks like Tate may see a lot more action this year when he gets healthy.

Without a doubt. That was one of the most well timed hits I've seen in the CFL in quite some time.

Unbelievable!

3 straight games have been put on the opposition kicker's foot. We're lucky to be 2-1.

Hank needs to stop throwing off his back foot...make that his back tippy toes. This isn't ballet for christs sake.

Is the offensive line the problem? Is Burris all nervous back there because he is thinking he is going to get hit any moment?

I certainly don't like his wobbly throws.

The good news is that Calgary is 2-1 and the offense is playing sub-par. The entire offense in my mind. Including Dickenson.

mykalberta · 07-15-2011, 10:25 AM

I am an Eskimos fan but living down here for 7 years has made me at least follow the Stamps a little closer.

Burris seems like a text book case of up and down syndrome. 1 play you wonder why the guy doesnt have at least a backup job in the NFL, the next play you wonder why he isnt playing for the East Texas Public Employees senior football league.

Cant wait for the 23rd, jersey, face paint, tickets at a terrible stadium are all good to go

wtf? did suber really swallow his own mouthguard???
