Yup the lack of exhibition play looks like it murdered the Lions off of the start. putting a QB in as a rookie with no meaningful snaps is just plain murder.


Reilly gutted it out but throwing that much on a bad elbow like that is just dumb.



Its funny, once the Lions figured out the Rider's defense they shredded their secondary with a guy that throws worse then my late Grandma.

To think BC missed 2 field goals, 1 convert, and a 2 point convert attempt. You could say Saskatchewan was lucky to win after their dominant start.

I'm a fan of the green and I would totally say so.

Bit of a last minute question…going to McMahon as a spectator at a Stamps game for the first time in forever today. (Usually work the games, but no ‘beer guys’ today because of tech issues). And suggestions for food etc on the west side? (I work on the east side)
Looking forward to being able to just enjoy the game today!

Sorry, no food suggestions... but no beer guys? That’s going to make for some long lineups on the concourse I reckon...

Enjoy the game!

Baron Haus near Section J is pretty decent, it is near my seats and I have it a couple times a season.

I’m glad I’m not drinking for today’s game with no beer guys! Some of the concession lines are gonna be nuts!

So its safe to say that the REDBLACKS might be really bad but they will lead the entire league with guys that have hair half way down their back.

Looks pretty cool actually.

The stinkers are starting to accumulate for Bo. He was awful tonight. He was not on the same page as his receivers which is disappointing. Also another game where Dickenson’s offense falters in the red zone.

Yeah.....im guessing that was far more on the receivers than it was Bo.

His OLine didnt help either.

Pretty ugly opening weekend. 13 TDs from 8 teams. Hope it picks up as the season goes on.

Not surprising to see offences struggle after all this time and no preseason. I have a feeling we're looking at mostly lower-scoring games and choppy football until September anyway, when things should finally start clicking.

Trevor Harris special to open the season. Big yards and stats but can't finish drives. How do you lose a game in the CFL when your defense shuts your opponents down to only 127 yards total offense?

The Stamps might get a healthy dose of Nathan Rourke on Thursday...

Reilly is toast, he has only participated in something like 5 full practices since training camp started.

Don't be surprised if they put Reilly in the game if Rourke struggles as the seems they are under the belief that it's no big deal to throw in your franchise player even if he's hurting.

Take it with a grain of salt, but Rod Pedersen is tweeting that there is a buyer for the Stampeders.

^^ Did you really have to take out literally two of our best players?!?

P.S. Sounds like the two guys on Covid Protocol were due to a false positive, hence why they're practicing.
