Posted November 18, 20177 yr comment_305646 Edmonton @ Calgary Game Notes *Calgary wrapped up the 2017 season series with their second-straight Labour Day home-and-home set sweep from Edmonton. *Edmonton scored only three points in the first quarter against Calgary this year; the Stamps outscored them 44-23 in the first half. *Edmonton dominated offensively 408 yards to 353 with 33:14 of time of possession, 354 passing yards per game, and a 56% per cent conversion rate. *Calgary’s edges were on defence with nine Sacks to three, 32 pressures to 16 by the Esks, and seven takeaways to just three by Edmonton. *Red Zone: Calgary cashed in seven of their 10 red zone chances (70 per cent); Edmonton went just four-of-10 (40 per cent) *Punting: Calgary averaged 36.2 yards to Edmonton’s 31.9 mainly due to a 90-yard TD return by Roy Finch. *FGs: Rene Paredes made six-of-seven field goal attempts vs. Edmonton this year; Sean Whyte missed all three games vs. the Stampeders. *Alex Singleton had tackle totals of 13, 11 and six for 30 defensive stops vs. Edmonton. He had a tackle for loss in each game. *Big Plays: Edmonton created seven “big plays” to Calgary’s nine. *Kenny Ladler made 14 tackles in the two games he played against Calgary; Aaron Grymes made eight defensive tackles in his one game. *Calgary comes into this game with a three-game losing streak, their longest in advance of a playoff game since 1957. *Calgary’s last win: The Stamps enter this game with a two-game home losing streak after winning 17-straight at McMahon Stadium. They last won at home 50 days ago (Sep 29/17 to Nov 18/17: 0 days). Their last win at all was on Oct 13/17, 36 days ago. *C.J. Gable has rushed for at least 70 yards in all five games he has started for Edmonton including 107 in the Semi-Final win at Winnipeg. Gable has 473 yards on 89 carries over his five Edmonton games for a 5.3 yard average with four rushing touchdowns. *Johnny Adams has shifted to kick cover duty in recent games and has nine special teams tackles in the last four contests. ??Mike Reilly vs Bo Levi Mitchell If Bo isn’t healthy...it will be Edmonton.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305647 Bo says he's fine. This is actually the healthiest the Stamps have been in awhile. Corderro Law may play.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305657 Esks are trending up at the right time, plus they have a QB who can handle pressure and take hits. I say if the Eskies contain Messam combined with their fierce pass rushers coming to play, they've got this.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305666 I'm still not convinced that Michell is 100% and the consistent poor play of the whole team in the last few games makes me believe that the Stamps can be had.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305670 Hoping for lots and lots and lots of injuries....nothing career threatening....just enough to make everyone look like assholes out there. Hope both teams look like pure, steaming ****.

I am leaning toward the Esks - I agree with other posters regarding BLM - I don't think he is 100% and I like the Esk's chances in this one.

And that's what really stings. We had a golden opportunity this year. May not be like this in years to come.

Haha... a week wasn't enough to wear off the bitterness eh!? i think this is going to be a great game, and come down to a last second Eskie FG to win the game.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305755 Is JC sherrit back for EDM? Heard he was practicing with the team? Also again, (as the bombers learned last week) it's difficult to beat a team 3 times in a row in one season. The stamps haven't played this version of EDM. It's all up to CGY's D. I honestly have no doubts Edm D will limit CGY's O, even with a healthy Bo. Keep Edmonton under 20 points or it's a big L for little Dicky and the tramps.
November 18, 20177 yr comment_305758 Edmonton is another team with a very good starting Canadian linebacker.

He is supposed to be out for the entire season.

November 19, 20177 yr comment_306105 More of the same from the Esks O - Calgary looking flat - Reilly getting time and making them pay
November 19, 20177 yr comment_306107 DHB on the left side.....completely busted there......Stamps look like they think they still are on the bye
November 19, 20177 yr comment_306111 6 minutes ago, do or die said: DHB on the left side.....completely busted there......Stamps look like they think they still are on the bye Bizarre play by safety Bell too basically ran himself out of the play right to the sideline. Almost like it should have been cover 2 with that boundary half covering the other deep half of the field. Mitchell looks very limited with his arm. Something definitely wrong with his shoulder.
November 19, 20177 yr comment_306113 Edmonton should sit in zone 15 yards and in and see if Mitchell can throw today.
