If the riders can beat them, so can wpg. 

 

Not our team, unfortunately.

Just watch Huff sign Duron Carter now...

 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Horribly designed onside kick attempt.  No shot at that ball.

Why don't we sign Bakari Grant?

I guess we have to take back all those comments about Collaros being washed up. And the Riders had a practice roster receiver step in and contribute big time- must make Corey Washington wonder

Who? Williams-Lambert and Evans have been playing all year.

[blueingreenland]

Difference in the game was the blocked punt and the pick 6.

[Mark F]

why the hell didn't sask try to get a first? two runs up the gut then punt.

[SpeedFlex27]

Brescasin held big time & no flag. Eye in the sky won't make the call even though they did in an earlier game this season. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Hate the limited challenge.  Should keep your challenge until you lose one.  Why penalize the coach/team because the officials stink?

[Mark F]

did he catch that? thought it hit the ground under him.

Haven't seen much of Williams-Lambert

[Eternal optimist]

Oh hey look, a backup QB in an unwinnable game.

[Mark F]

 if our D plays same as on Friday, Bo will shred them. based on what stamps did in the second half of this game anyway.

That was a good sunday night CFL game.

Then you haven't been watching.

Collaros throws for under 300 yards...and no TD's...better start the back up QB next game 😀

[Mr Dee]

Stamps stomped! 

Big time effort and execution from the Riders. 

We’re talking sacks and Zach. Mitchell sacked 5 times Zach - not once. Sask whipped Calgary in every category..offence, defence and ST.

I have to spit before saying this, but this was Jones at his very best in that defensive attack. Calgary was never able to settle into their game.

This could change the whole complexion of the Western playoff race. 

[SpeedFlex27]

It's all on Collaros. If he plays well they can go far. If it was just a one game fluke performance then they are who we thought they were. 

[rebusrankin]

Calgary 7-1

Edmonton 6-3

Winnipeg 5-4

Riders 4-4

Lions 3-5

Things are just a little tighter and those early September games are going to be crucial for everybody. For us, we need to win 2 out of three versus the Riders.

[rebusrankin]

Was it Collaros or that D? I think their offense was solid (26 points) and did just enough but it was their D and ST with 14 points and relentless pressure on BLM and Co.

Which they won't be able to keep up that intensity game after game defensively.

CFL Game #47 Team Trends – Calgary at Saskatchewan:

- Stamps Off a Bye / Bye games on the road: Calgary has played 17 games since 2005 when they have come off a bye week and have a perfect 17-0 record back to July 2005. This year, they won after a bye in 2018 Week #4 defeating Ottawa 20-17 on Jul 12/18. Their last loss after a bye came on Jul 1/05 vs TOR and that was in Wk #2 when they had yet to play that season. Calgary is 11-0 in the 11 of those 17 post-bye games that have been on the road as they are this week.

- How Dominant has Calgary been? Up by 14+ Pts UPDATE: One way of measuring a team's sustained level of dominance is how often they take big leads. The Stamps have led in EVERY contest this season by 14 or more points and this it is now 7 games in a row. In CFL history only three teams have EVER led by 14+ points in more than 7 consecutive games and none made it to 8 in a row:

Rob Maver Inside the 10: Maver has at least one punt pinning opponents inside the 10-yard line in his last 4 games and in 6 of 7 overall this year. He is #1 in the CFL with 7 of these 'I10' punts this year and with 70 since 2012.

👁‍🗨Justin Medlock is tied for 2nd with 5. (Last year Medlock had a total of 7)

Lauther 94%: Since Week #2 Brett Lauther has been the have I CFL's most accurate FG kicker other Lewis Ward. Lauther has made 15-of- 16 attempts for a 93.8% mark over the last 6 games. What is remarkable however is that his average FG made in that span is 38.1 yards. For the season, his average FG made of 38.6 yards is #1 in the CFL.

- Recent SSK v CGY matchups: The Riders have split the last two meetings against Calgary after snapping a 10-game losing streak against them across the 2013-2017 seasons. Since 2013, Zach Collaros will this week be the 7th different Riders' starting QB to face the Stampeders. Calgary has had just three in that time (Tate, Glenn & Mitchell).

- Riders holding leads: The Riders have been fantastic recently in winning when they enter the 4th Quarter with the lead. Since 2016 they are 13-2 when leading after Q3 and 31-9 since 2013.

- Calgary #1 in 20 Defensive Rankings: Including fewest points allowed, Calgary is #1 ranked in 20 out of the 28 defensive statistical categories. The only exceptions are primarily in Turnovers forced and passing attempts.

- Alex Singleton Update: Through Week #9 no player had a higher % of his team's defensive tackles. Singleton has made 45 of the 258 Calgary defensive tackles for a 17.4% share. Next: Adam Bighill at 14.71%, and J.C. Sherritt at 14.65%.

- Few starters: This game features the two teams that have employed the fewest number of starters this year. Saskatchewan has had just 31 different players start at least one game while Calgary is next at just 32 starters.

- Zach Collaros: Combined with Hamilton and Saskatchewan he is 1-14 in his last 15 starts and 25-29 overall in 54 career starts.

- Bo Levi Mitchell: Threw for a season-high 370 yards in his last game - this was his 6th career game of 370+ yards. Mitchell brings a 28-6-2 record as a starter on the road into this game at Mosaic Stadium. He also an active 8-game TD pass streak back to 2017 and has won his last 7 starts.

- Sacks in 23 straight games: Calgary had their streak with at least one sack in 23 games in a row snapped last game.

- 12.3 / 11.1 Pts Allowed: Calgary is challenging a long-held CFL record having allowed only 12.3 total points per game thus far. In the entire CFL Era (1958 to today), the fewest TOTAL points allowed record is held by the 1964 BC Lions at 10.5 per game and followed by Hamilton (1965) at 10.9 ppg against.

- Calgary +17 T/O Ratio: The Stamps are at +17 for their 2018 Turnover advantage - that +17 mark after 7 games is on pace for +44 which would break the CFL record set by Edmonton in 1981 at +41. Calgary's club record is +27 set in 1996.

- Most QB Starters Single Season: Montreal has used 4 different QB starters this year and with Johnny Manziel questionable for Week #10 may lead to Antonio Pipkin or Matthew Shiltz being #5 for them. The CFL record is 6 different starters by Winnipeg in 1983 (Dieter Brock, Tom Clements, Norman Gibbs, Nickie Hall, John Hufnagel and Mark Jackson). 

- 1st Down Rushing Avg: Despite having the CFL's #2 rusher in William Powell, the REDBLACKS have averaged the lowest number of yards on 1st down rushing plays. They have gained just 4.8 yards per 1st down rush and that ranks #9 overall. By contrast, Winnipeg is tied with Montreal for #1 in the CFL at 6.2 yards per 1st down rush.

- Lewis Ward 96%: Ward began his career with a 3-for-4 FG performance in the season opener and since then has not missed a kick of any kind. Ward is now 25-for-26 96.2% with a streak of 22 makes in a row, the longest streak ever made by a 1st Year player.

Looks like week 10 became the Bomber fans worst nightmare. 

1st Ottawa rolls into Winnipeg and rolls right over the Bombers. A real back handed slap upside the head. Then Nichols was feeling more like a penny when Booing took place upon his return to the game. His poor feelings were hurt. 

Then Calgary gets a taste of their own medicine and finds themself in a big hole at halftime. To the dismay of the Bomber fan quotes on here. Collaros played great, the SK defence made Bo feel what it’s like to be pressured and hit. The ocean of green celebrated all game long and the Riders get 2 and give the Stamps their first loss of the season. 

Just a FYI... When Collaros was in the game in Ottawa. The score was tied when he suffered a hit to the head. After Brandon Bridge entered the game. All became lost with his poor play.

A Rider fan coming here to boast. How quaint. Funny how we never saw you here when Bridge was your qb.

Probably best to be looking over the last while. I’ve been here. Started the topic of competing fan sees greatness in Bombers play. No one is boasting. Every Bomber fan told me to come back after the weekend.
