@SUNMitchell: Jerome Messam has been traded to the Stamps. #CFL #Riders

Stamps trade K Tyler Crapigna to Riders for RB Jerome Messam...

[dash_pinched]

Love the Messam pickup.

[tvp2003]

Nice. Especially if Cornish is out for any length of time.

Offence is stagnant enough as it is; don't trust Walter to be able to fill those shoes.

EDIT: Good to know we were able to turn Crapigna into an asset. With Parades having a bounceback year, there was simply no room for him.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Good trade for both sides.

I like Crapigna but I guess the Stamps cannot hide him anymore and will eventually lose him for nothing someday. At least we got something for him and Jerome Messam is a beast with the right coaching. With Cornish still hurting and Walter is just not cutting it as his replacement, I like this pickup. Messam is a ratio beater too. It means they can still play 2 International OLinemen.

Rookie Tevaughn Campbell will start on Fred Bennett's spot this weekend. Bennett got hurt last week and might be gone for awhile. Bad timing for injuries. We are already missing Burnett, Buddy Jackson and now Fred Bennett. Hopefully the DBs will play much better this weekend.

Not sure how fast KG can pick up the playbook but he might give them a chance to make the playoffs...

If Kevin Glenn signs with Edmonton he will be apart of all of the CFL organizations at one point in his career.

Does anyone know the status of Corey Mace? I thought he had a high ankle sprain in the preseason but has missed almost the whole season. Is he expected back at all?

More to the trade the 5th round pick Saskatchewan got from the Glenn trade goes to Calgary, going back is a 3rd round pick and a negotiation list player.

[MissTeeks]

Thank goodness we have a bye week coming up:

@SUNMitchell: WR Jeff Fuller is out vs. #Argos with a foot injury.

[Drake]

Argos home that was supposed to happen on October 23 against the Als now has now been moved to Tim Hortons field. In the brief article I read Chris Rudge goes on to say despite five days between Jays games, Rogers officials told him there is insufficient time to change stadiums from baseball to football.

Damn big play by Edmonton. Reilly 73 yards pass to Bowman for a TD. 10-7 Eskimos. Oh yeah BC scored their TD on their interception by Yell in the first quarter.

[Magnum PEI]

Goshdamn it, BC kicker.

[troutman]

Can't stand how time in the last three minutes is not equal to time in the rest of the game.

EDM punts with 3:00 left. Get it back with 1:30. They start near the end zone and short pass it into FG range with 23 seconds left. No time outs required.

[Magnum PEI]

FFS BC. Missed single point, fumbled on the one yard line.

The Edmonton Offense is terrible. How did Calgary lose to them twice?

I don't think the Stamps should have too much concerns if they have to face them in the WF whether in Calgary or Edmonton.

They did rack up nearly 500 yards, but Reilly threw 3 picks.

That said, there's no excuse for the Lions to give the game away by fumbling at the 1 yard line.

Stamps are going to finish 14-4 but still not have a first round bye. I say they should do away with divisions and just rank the teams based on a meritocracy.

[adc]

In the games I have watched, especially with Reilly, it seems to be a ton of 3 and outs and a ton of huck it up and pray they can get a 70 yard bomb.

Reilly especially seems awful at sustaining drives or being able to make 7-8 passes in a row or read defenses and beat them by hitting the open man. Maybe they will be able to do this but I think they should be easy to stop because outside of long bombs to Bowman pushing off the defender they don't seem to have much of a threat offensively.

[White Out 403]

its remarkable how much of an abortion the Bombers organization has become over the last couple decades.
