Stamps at Als GDT

[GOLDMEMBER]

I picked the Als at home

Discuss

[Blue In BC]

I see Taylor and Muhammed are both listed as starters this week. Stamps have about 8 players moving onto the AR due to IR movement.

Going to root for the Als.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Lapo in the booth does he know when to shut up? 

[The Zipp]

We got Lapo in the booth...

[barbk]

Rather listen to Paul then the announcer at Molson Stadium and those damm horns

[GOLDMEMBER]

Great call on the 3rd and 1.

[The Zipp]

Love that play on the "sneak"...

[GOLDMEMBER]

Lapo Lapo Lapo 

Maier off target X2 latter part of that drive.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Despite the annoying horns good to see solid consistent crowds on MonReeeallll

[buckzumhoff]

Maier like to throw double coverage . Fajardo probably tries to hang onto the ball and run. I'll take Maier. better qb

[GOLDMEMBER]

Nice confident throw by JarJardo

[GOLDMEMBER]

Brad Muhammed cup O coffee here. Is back with Stamps and starting.

That is the CFL for yah.

[GOLDMEMBER]

I am liking Lapo so far.
Just do your job man nothing more nothing less.

[The Zipp]

Apart from Toronto and Winnipeg...nobody really seems to run the ball

[pjrocksmb]

The constant complaining and nick picking about the TSN  colour and play by play guys is getting old.  Yes they are not perfect and some are better than others but they are generally fine imo.

Lapo seams fine but best to judge him after a number of games.

[pjrocksmb]

Sask
BC
EDM

All have players with similar touches on the ground.  They are trying just not as effective (yet?).

[The Zipp]

Faj.  Just a bad throw into the dirt. 

Is Mack considered a rookie?

[The Zipp]

There is Stanback...

[pjrocksmb]

There is Stanback...

Key to Mtl success.  He will hit 100 today easy.

Mtl 65 yards on the ground.  They are clearly running the rock today.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Faj.  Just a bad throw into the dirt. 

Is Mack considered a rookie?

drive killer expert.

Is Kenzie related to Donny Lalonde?   

[dd]

Ugly 1st quarter by the Stamps, 1 first down and 40 yds net offense, brutal. Struggling big time

[GOLDMEMBER]

Stamp O just having a terrible time trying to get on track.

Dickie must be thrilled.

[The Zipp]

Cote with an ugly boot - just seemed to aim that one all wrong...like I do on the golf course

[GOLDMEMBER]

I am a tad tape delayed.

Stan just run the friggin ball MAAS!

[The Zipp]

Jake the snake delivers another pick 6...

[pjrocksmb]

Floater!

[The Zipp]

Cote got the yips...

[dd]

I really like having Lapo as the game analyst, he brings a legit insight to what?s going on out there

[pjrocksmb]

Knows his stuff that's for sure.  Agree.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Cote got the yips...

think that is his middle name. Cody Yips Fajardo. 

Cote misses. Sheesh

[GOLDMEMBER]

Nice duck Maier. LOL

[GOLDMEMBER]

Cote mentally suffering. Yikes!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Brandon Stewart. Whoop there was a true BB nice veteran DB!

Lapo likes his BB deep cuts. Noice.

[GOLDMEMBER]

May be it is those Kentucky Fried Chicken themed jerseys why the Stamps suck. LOL

Marsh and Lapo make a nice duo.

Lapo is waaay better than Suits already!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Are the Als trying to kill that Keon guy. Yikes!

[Pete]

two dumb penalties..killer

[The Zipp]

Some bad penalties by Calgary.  Too many men and time count - come on Dave

[GOLDMEMBER]

two dumb penalties..killer

Yup Very unDickie like.

[Pete]

and a sack that everyone could see coming

[GOLDMEMBER]

LOL nice eye by Lapo on the delay of game penalty. Outstanding eye by Lapo!

[pjrocksmb]

Mtl d line feasting

[buckzumhoff]

Maier very slow to decide to do something. Some of the rookie QBs have a better idea how the rush is coming . Hang onto the ball take the sack. At least not an interception. Dickenson is getting tired of delays on the offense. Have to have 20 second clock in your head .

[buckzumhoff]

That's a fumble

[GOLDMEMBER]

Maier looks terrible. Confidence is waining.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Lemon looks average at best.

[Pete]

Dukes needs to hold on to the ball, for such a big guy pretty wimpy play

[GOLDMEMBER]

Ok we get it crew Kate golfs big whoop.

[Pete]

it gets old with tsns always trying to show how much fun the panel is

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

I really like having Lapo as the game analyst, he brings a legit insight to what?s going on out there

No time for dead air time, Lapo knows everything that's happening for every position on every play!  Great addition.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Stamps never used to trot Paredes out beyond the 45 which helped him make a high percentage of FG's, now they're desperate for him to make +50's.

[buckzumhoff]

Rain delay should help Calgary. Regroup. Run the ball
Quit passing every down

[GOLDMEMBER]

Rain delay should help Calgary. Regroup. Run the ball

I will believe when I see it. Both sides do not run the ball enough. It is silly!

[GOLDMEMBER]

TSN director smoking a doobie before the game starts again. LOL

[GOLDMEMBER]

Antwi took eyes off the ball.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Surprise surprise Calgary looks more composed.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Slippery potato out there.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Lapo destroyed a Chicken Parm and 5 cups of coffee.

[The Zipp]

Lapo and Ferguson might be the new #1 team in my mind

[GOLDMEMBER]

Lapo and Ferguson might be the new #1 team in my mind

No complaints.

Especially when Lapo is crushing Coffees like no tomorrow.

[dd]

No time for dead air time, Lapo knows everything that's happening for every position on every play!  Great addition.

He does. His analysis is always analytical and he gives us the cerebral part of the game, why the plays are being called, where they should be going etc. I love it, so much better than the others

[pjrocksmb]

Lapo and Ferguson might be the new #1 team in my mind

They have been very good.

To answer your question about Mack sounds like he would be a rookie but has had NFL experience.

[bunker]

Lapo is good. Ferguson is a bit dry, but I like him more than Nielson, who generates too much false enthusiasm. Rod Smith is still my favourite for P by P.

I like the variety they all bring.  Love seeing the new faces and younger guys.

[Pete]

calgary has the best 3 yard passing game in the league..too bad normally you need more than that

[pjrocksmb]

Very costly penalty

[The Zipp]

Paredes is money...

[pjrocksmb]

Too bad the refs screwed that call up.  Clearly a catch.

[Pete]

12 field goals in this game

[pjrocksmb]

12 field goals in this game

Nice effort by both guys

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Stamps can't put the ball in the endzone, penalties and screwups every drive.

[dd]

I like the variety they all bring.  Love seeing the new faces and younger guys.

Agree. I like the fact they are all products of the Canadian university system and are totally passionate about the Canadian game. And each brings with them their own ?style? but it?s their respect, passion and excitement for the Canadian game that impresses me.

[Pete]

Maier's season in a nutshell

[The Zipp]

Jake thinking he is Mahomes out there...

He isnt....

[Pete]

how do you not throw a safe play to run down the clock? typical Jason Maas

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

That was a terrible RTP call, Rose bull rushed his man through Fajardo, probably didn't even make contact directly with him.

[The Zipp]

how do you not throw a safe play to run down the clock?

So dumb

[The Zipp]

How is that not PI?  Didn't turn around and screened his face ?

[Pete]

terribly coached game on both sides

[dd]

Jake thinking he is Mahomes out there...

He isnt....

No he isn?t. Don?t know why he didn?t just take the yardage and run for the first down to give them 2 cracks from the 5, oh well, never get tired at watching Calgary lose, never. They are who we think they are

[TecnoGenius]

We got Lapo in the booth...

Wow!  His first booth duty?  I guess with that QB in the booth, Lapo is the voice and QB is the color?  Weird, both are ex-football people, and thus neither is a "voice".

I like the idea though, Lapo will bring a whole new dimension.  When's the last time an OC was in the booth?  So far so good, but I'm a biased Lapo fan.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Guy is NOT HC material and barely a credible OC. idiotic!

I am not biased at all, I call it as I see it or hear it. Lapo was very good for his first game and lightning delayed on top of that. Cudos Lapo Cudos.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Is it like Maier thinks it will just happen with some of these crunch time decisions.
This way of playing is failing him epically.
On some plays his WRs and OL are not helping him but he is making Cornelius level decisions out there.
Calgary has good RBs but are completely oblivious in using them properly.

Dickie has lost his charm. He looks disgusted on camera 90% of the time. They may have a hard time making the playoffs.

[TecnoGenius]

Apart from Toronto and Winnipeg...nobody really seems to run the ball

Guys like Condell and Maas hate running the ball.  So there's that.

CGY is a mystery now: starting last game they decided to stop running.  Maybe Mills is nursing an injury?  Normally CGY would be leading the league.  Maybe they had everything pinned on always-hurt Carey?

SSK's new guy likes to run the ball and they keep trying with Morrow.  So there's hope for them.  Maybe.  BC seems to only want to run to close a game.  Who's that, Macsymic?  Jury still out on him.

TSN guys (and gals) are pretty good.  After watching the garbage-leagues in the USA and even the NFL, I can say I much prefer the CFL TSN crew.

My worst complaint is the in-game injury reporting has gone downhill (to nonexistent).  They don't say anything anymore.  They used to have the sideline person track down the injury details.

[dd]

You HAVE to have a running game if you?re going to be successful when things turn cold and it?s playoff time. Calgary is asking too much out of Maier and his average passing game at best. Same with Montreal and fajardo s passing attack. I m assuming Montreal uses stanbeck more eff ctvelynonce he gets his game legs back and they could challenge Toronto for the east crown.

Agreed and I ll take any cfl crew over anything the ?other? league serves up. Can?t stand they?re broadcasts and don?t watch anything until playoff time. The big thing the CFL offers is it?s grounded and down home broadcasts, they re authentic, sincere wand easy to listen to

[TecnoGenius]

It dawned on me that the perfect pairing would be Maas and Dane Evans.  They are both all deep all the time.  Virtually everyone thought Maas/Cody in SSK was the worst pairing in the world.  A deep-only OC with a QB who can't throw deep.  And so what does MTL do? ...  They recreate that pairing, but this time in French.  Now that's funny!



(Nice seeing McGloster getting some work, I knew I knew that name!  Anyone know what's wrong with Rice??)

I disagree strongly especially in the NFL. The other leagues I have no idea nor do I care for. I cannot stand Romo but I really like Moose Johnson, Aikman, Colinsworth, Charles Davis, and a few others on colour. Al Michaels to me is the GOAT play by play. Kevin Burkhardt, Mike Turico are all top notch play by play men as well.

Jim Nantz was great but Romo ruins him now. Romo is sooo annoying! Rod black level annoying.

Good point, I like those updates too.

[TBURGESS]

Note to PLAP... Stop saying right after every sentence.

[TecnoGenius]

Jake the snake delivers another pick 6...

Why are soooo many QBs falling prey to the wide out pick?  Even our Zach!!  What is happening to these QBs?  Maier was staring at that play for many seconds and knew precisely where the DB was but still thinks to himself "my pass will beat the DB".

I'm not sure I recall a season with so many wide out INTs.  Weird.  Teams need to correct this.

[TecnoGenius]

I really like having Lapo as the game analyst, he brings a legit insight to what?s going on out there

Ya, even if you don't like him or his style, you have to admit he's providing novel info and a different, OC's, take on things.  It's the same as when Chezie joined the panel: we finally got some D insight and chatter.

[TecnoGenius]

Argh, one hour into the football game Ferguson the F1 fan tells me who won the F1 race earlier without a spoiler warning!  I haven't watched it yet Fergie!  Argh

[TecnoGenius]

That's a fumble

Not after command's precedent decision yesterday!   

[TecnoGenius]

Mizell LOL

I was talking OCs.  It's not the RB who decides if there will be a run play

[Waffler]

Al Michaels to me is the GOAT play by play.

Al Michaels WAS the best, now I feel like his dentures are gonna fall out when he pronounces some words. He is 78. Good Howard Cosell story in his book concerning a cab ride that Howard stopped to break up a street fight with this:

Then Cosell spoke: ?Now listen. It?s quite apparent to this trained observer that the young southpaw does not have a jab requisite for the continuation of this fray. Furthermore, his opponent is a man of inferior and diminishing skills. This confrontation is halted posthaste!?

For Lapo, he could be the best, right? He offers current knowledge of the game, right? Suitor has been retired since 1995, right?   I enjoyed his insights, relaxed delivery and he'll get better, right?  Just that one thing that I find annoying, right?

Dunigan I find has 2 on air personalities, panel Dunigan and color guy "Texas" Dunigan which grates on me after a while.

NFL has some really good combos - Al Michaels is the best.  I will get some hate but I really like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman but you are right there are some really good broadcasters for the NFL.  I think Tom Brady is going to be real good when he gets out there too.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Agree. Plus, I know a few people who go the other way on this but I think Nantz and Romo are fantastic. Always learn something when Romo calls a game.

[blue_gold_84]

Romo is an awesome colour analyst.

[bwiser]

With the Stamps losing it was another successful week for the Bombers. Riders and Stamps fall further behind where it is a two way race for first and a home playoff game seems to be on the horizon. Could this year be the year that an eastern team crosses over.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Romo is an awesome colour analyst.

I would be ok with him if he did not predict nearly every single offensive play. Plus he over yaks a bit.

[Pigskin]

Romo is an awesome colour analyst.

Agree, the NFL have some very good people calling there games. Romo is one of them.
