Get Katz to buy the team.

^^ haha I was joking in my head the other day that with all of our injuries at receiver that we should try to sign Marken Michel because he was really good for us. Dickenson obviously agreed!

I remember Michel being a good player but wasn't he more of a deep threat? Not sure how that works with Maier and his 3 yard dump offs.

Michel takes the top off for sure. That should open up those contested routes underneath that Maier has poor accuracy on.

Replacement for the speed we lost with Henry.

Jones 4 year contract is a series of 1 year contracts that gets renewed or not at the end of each year.

Smart enough to protect themselves but stupid enough to put themselves in a position that they needed to.

I've been waiting for this guy to come back to the CFL. Not sure what took so long. Hopefully he's all nice and polished from his NFL time.

I hope this performance will stop the TSN love fest of Vernon Adams.

How do you throw 6 picks I didn’t even watch.

Another rough week of QB play.

CFL doesn't eveb have score or stats on the app the score app has Winnipeg winning 17-3 with Farjardo with 1 td and 1 int in the box score.

Every week it gets worse.

They didn't run the ball and he had one of those games with almost 400 yards passing, 3 TD passes and 6 INT's. I think he was forcing things as some of those interceptions were not even close to receivers. Stamps fans have got used to seeing him light up Monson's defense but he's struggled over his career at times with turnovers and ineffectiveness. Argos are a top 3 team in the CFL this season as they may have the best secondary in the CFL as well as a lot of weapons on offense.

Chad Kelley is a revelation as well.

Looks very good in his limited sample size.

I just understand how Huf/DD have let so many great players go though. Ormilade was nothing short of exceptional last night and of course Daniels with a TD catch...etc.

Almost every week former Stampeders are lighting it up for someone else..

frustrating.

Kelly showed really well for the Broncos in NFL preseason and it was his arrest and general immaturity that got him blacklisted from the NFL. I'm not surprised he's looking decent as he has NFL arm talent and hopefully he's matured and can become a star player in this league.

It's really painful as a Stamps fan to watch ex-Stamps light it up across the league that the Stamps just weren't willing to meet market value while we go through watching the growing pains of their replacements only to see those replacement players let go when they hit their stride and the cycle repeats over and over. It's starting to show as for the past few seasons the Stamps talent level isn't what it used to be last decade relative to the rest of the league. The Argos for example have a lot more talent up and down their lineup.

Not only is it players we have lost its the coaches, look at the Toronto D and offence both former Stampeder coaches.

One of the dumbest rules in pro sports a coaching salary cap. Who thought this was a good idea?

We have been raided for all our talent on many levels.

We are now at 34 touchdowns thrown and 38 interceptions for the all QB's this season with 15 games played. 2.2 TD and 2.5 INT per game its like 1-1 each game, what is going on the talent cant be that bad?

Bo Mitchell, Jake Maier and the Edmonton guy are the only 3 starters with more interceptions than touchdowns.

Somethings gotta change.

I'd suggest it's early in the season; the first 5-6 weeks are seldom an indicator of how things will shake out in Oct/Nov.

Its the offence that usually shoots out of the gate while the defence finds their bearings and clamps down.
