Stamps Vs. Lions GDT

[Blue In BC]

Not the best weekend for games. It was like watching pre-season games. Mistakes, penalties and turnovers in all the games.  Calgary was the only team that performed very well.

Burnham looks like he really messed up his wrist.  He might be out a couple/few weeks.  Continues to get worse for BC...

Then he kept playing and landed on it again.  Ya, turn a 4-weeker into an 8-weeker, nice move.

Burnham has a fractured wrist. Thats another big blow to the Lions.

agreed Calgary played decently. VAG and BC looked like Evans and the Redblacks.

wrist fractures will takes weeks. He will be in the 6 game IR I expect. Burnham is becoming an injury prone individual in his older years.

Calgary lost Dennis and Lions Burnham, that's a pretty good hit to each lineup.

Wonder if O'Conner gets another chance now?

Kinda doubt it, BC is fighting for playoff position and Adams is their best bet.  I wouldn't read too much into his last performance, the Stamps have a ferocious pass rush, maybe the best in the league right now.  It's too bad but we might not get to see O'Connor again until next season and that also depends what happens with Rourke.  What they decide to do with their 4 QB's in the off-season will be interesting, if Rourke comes back I can see them trading away V.A..

BC season rides on VAJ's shoulders. He did pretty good in the first game, and pretty poor in his second game. A great athlete but can't seem to round into a great QB, yet.
Losing Burnham hurts, but c'mon look at that receiving core they are extremely deep in talent.

Give Cal. credit they got to VAJ, can Ott match that...yikes I doubt it. Bc's defence is good, but their record was due to how good the offence was, as soon as an injury to Rourke hit, they fell off the rails, VAJ was the best fit for them and they made a great move bringing him in, but he is not Rourke. It's not fair to expect any QB to do what Rourke was doing pre-injury.

Overall BC is still a top team in the league with VAJ at the helm, but if a defence can get to him and throw him off his game like Cal. did I don't believe the defence and specials are good enough to carry them. BC if memory serves me correct have Edm. and Ott. coming up. They should finish with no less than 11 wins.

The last three weeks just may have some big implications for BC and two of those are against us!

Stampeders have confirmed that Derek Dennis has a cracked fibula.

Is facing surgery and done for the season.

Brutal news, hate to report it.

Ouch.

Adams - How can anyone support this guy.  He can't read defences, gets flustered easily.
If I am wrong how many teams  get rid of him.
Sure he was the best option for a QB less BC team available

BC is going nowhere with Adams. Nowhere. They ll finish 2nd in the west, host the Stamps and then get stomped

Uh, who else do they start?  O'Connor?  There's no other tradebait QBs left in the league who have proven they can win games.  Sure, BC is going nowhere, but at least they're going nowhere at a slower pace than without VAJ.  They go from winning 95% of games with Rourke to 50% with VAJ.  Any other QB would likely be 5%.

We should all hope VAJ has a great good-VAJ WSF vs CGY and then a bad-VAJ WDF vs us.

I d be putting pipkin in when VA struggles vs watch him flounder aimlessly. Pipkin came in and promptly moved the ball last game, albeit in garbage time, but heck Adams wasn?t moving the ball in garbage time, and  pipkin puts a TD on the board.

Pipkin is one of the 3rd down specialists that might develop into more in the right environment.  In the game against Sask. when he came in for O'Connor he looked shaky to start, but once he got past the nerves he started to move the ball effectively.  He seems to have a decent arm and of course he runs very well, as always with running QB's it comes down to whether they can learn to read the field or not.
