Lions at Stampeders GDT

[Blue In BC]

Stamps are missing about 5 starters. Lions just announced that Butler and Breaux won't be able to play either.

That would suggest the Stamps are impacted more severely losing Thurman, Robertson and Carey among others.

Beating the Lions was going to be difficult at the best of times.

As long as Huf and Dickenson are with the Stamps, I would never call them out.  Great combo.

Hopefully it is epic and Calgary wins to knock BC down a notch and keep safe distance from us!

This should be fun!

Discuss?.

I'd like to see the Stamps pull out a win. Not quite sure what to expect after looking at injuries for both teams. Lions are the better team. Stamps MIGHT be more motivated at home but that's not a given.

Hopefully no more injuries on either team.

Should be a hard hitting game. Give the edge to the Stamps .  Should be a close game.

If it becomes a defensive battle Stamps may prevail, if it turns into a shootout, I'm betting on BC.

Stamps lost at least two key defensive starters in Thurman and Roberson. Lions lost their starting safety and Breaux.

Lions are the better team so could be a 14+ point win. Not sure if the Stamps can overcome the injuries on offence or defence either. They lost 3 starters on offence too.

Their depth chart doesn't show an injury to a receiver but it could be a game time decision or playing thru an injury.

Purifoy moves back to safety and a rookie with 1 game played starts at SAM in theory.

These changes will impact both sides of the ball for both teams. Who it favours I'm really not sure.

If the Stamps don't fear the Lions run game, then Rourke won't have the luxury of as much time to find and hit receivers. OTOH Stamps secondary including their SAM are out.

Could be some big plays. Should be entertaining.

Hopefully this is the preview to the West SF.

Rourke looking very human against a good Calgary team.  They are missing a couple key players but getting it done.

Nice pick for the young safety there.

These Philpot bros are sick

Calgary Rb looks good

Rose is a beast for Calgary.  Whitehead has one through his hands on a nice deep shoot.
