Posted August 28, 20168 yr comment_218986 Hamilton at Calgary West best vs the East's best? The West's best QB vs the East's best QB? Are these defences the best? Best Head Coaches? Two top teams in a game which will be the first-ever live mic broadcast on TSN. One thing for sure, Calgary has the league's best 2nd down converter in Marquay McDaniel who has 22. They rely on him heavily to keep the offence moving. And that offence has been going, especially at McMahon stadium, where they average 38.3 points per game in 3 games there. And, the Stamps have broken the 30-point mark in five of their eight games. By the Numbers - CFL.ca 3.5 – Touchdowns for every interception for Bo Levi Mitchell, the best amongst quarterbacks with at least seven starts. 5 – Road games this year for the Tabbies; they won the first three and have lost their last two. 29 – Sacks recorded by the Ticats (second-most in the CFL). 161 – League-low points allowed by Calgary (next closest: Hamilton at 203). ??Fan Poll 71% pick Calgary to win MBB 24 votes to 5 for Calgary.
August 28, 20168 yr comment_218993 Apart from the homer loyalty to the Bombers, this ought to be the game of the week- arguably the two best teams and almost certainly the two best quarterbacks in the league. My money is on the Stamps.
August 28, 20168 yr comment_218995 i'm going to say that collaros is the best quarterback in the league. and Hamilton wins I think Calgary is not as good as people think. guess Calgary's better than i thought and Tigercats aren't very good even with Collaros. Calgary has a huuuge downtown. looks nice. sack on a three man rush is ugly might have to change my predicition predicshun. Edited August 29, 20168 yr by Mark F

August 29, 20168 yr Author comment_219013 The mics were supposed to be only on the QBs and Coaches. So why do I hear all this non-football chirping on a game thread? Take a look at some marvellous QBing and catches instead, why don't you? Tolliver is a heck of a player and that speedster, DaVaris Daniels is just the kind of guy we need to open up our game.

August 29, 20168 yr comment_219015 I can't believe how ordinary the ticats offence looks. just blech. guess I spoke too soon Edited August 29, 20168 yr by Mark F
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219019 Still can't believe Austin went for 2 to try to bring the score to 9 rather than the single to bring it to 10
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219020 And then they get away with a block from behind on that kick return... Why because it's speedy banks?
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219026 Anyone else becoming disllusioned with the state of the CFL on the field with all the penalties, challenge flags & lame PI rules? ALL of this is killing the CFL in the stands & in the ratings.

August 29, 20168 yr comment_219034 Quote Quote Quote WTF above??? Anyway, how can things get sorted out when they'll call a DB for illegal contact at 5.1 yards, putting a hand on a shoulder which has no bearing if the ball is incomplete, call illegal contact when a receiver & db accidentally collide, the coaches challenges for not just defensive PI, but offensive & illegal contact, as well as roughing the passer rules? All it does is cause delays & interrupts the flow of the game with all kinds of flags & penalties. This won't get 'sorted out". This is it. This is what a CFL game has become. It's all about penalties now. On pass plays it's a 1/3 chance a PI call will occur. Edited August 29, 20168 yr by iso_55
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219070 I only watched a bit of this game... most of the third quarter... but it seems to me like Calgary is clearly the class of the league right now... and there's no close second at the moment...
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219115 Anyone think that mic'ing the QB's added anything to the broadcast? I liked to hear some of the coaching comments, but the play calls really didn't add anything to the game for me.

I think it was tough b/c they were constantly having to edit... there was one bad 2 and out by Ham... and just as Kent starting talking they cut out his mic... then showed him on the sidelines and it was definitely not family friendly material...
August 29, 20168 yr comment_219126 Really did nothing for me. Except the commentators talked less, so I guess that is a good thing.

It would have been a lot more entertaining if they mic'd up the coaches without telling them.
