CFL Season Opener Thursday - Montreal at Calgary

[Orbison]

Als get a 2nd down stop, Stamps punt it down to the Als 18 YL

 

[Orbison]

big 2nd down sack by the Stamps to end the Als drive

Stamps take over at their 26 to start 2nd Qtr

 

[Orbison]

quick 2 & out by the Stamps

Als take over at their 20 after a booming 73 yard punt!

 

[Orbison]

14-14 with 6 mins to go 2nd Qtr

Als D having issues stopping the run

Als also just lost one of their best offensive threats (RB Stanback) to a bad leg injury, possible broken ankle?

Stamps secondary having issues on deep balls

 

[Orbison]

Als backup RB just busted a huge run but not enough speed to score

Als had to settle for 3

17-14 Als with under 2 mins to go 2Q

 

[Orbison]

Als pick off Mitchell on 1st down, Mitchell hasn't looked great

Als trying to score here again before the half

 

[Orbison]

huge roughing the passer by the Stamps gives the Als 1st & Goal

then QB Adams runs it in for the TD

24-14 Als with 25 secs to go til half

huge turn of events there

 

[carolinakid]

a lot of pts in the 1st half

 

[Orbison]

Stamps get the ball first in 2H

most believe their backup QB is better than the vet Mitchell, i wonder if their coach will put him in though.. he may give Mitchell a longer leash since it's only the opener?

just bringing that angle up since, in theory, there's decent value on a 2nd Half Stamps play but i don't think i can back them without knowing what's going on at QB because Adams is giving the Stamps major issues on defense with both his arm and legs

 

[Orbison]

all Stamps so far in the 2nd Half

special teams has been big for them

27-24 Stamps with about 13 mins to go

nice opening game here by the CFL

 

[Orbison]

tied at 27 with 2 mins to go

Stamps brought in their backup QB Maier!

 

[Orbison]

Stamps kick the FG

30-27 with 29 secs to go

Als will need a miracle now

 

[Orbison]

good return to the 43

21 secs to go

 

[Orbison]

ends on the Hail Mary

dumb playcalling by the Als there, should've just ran it on 3rd and short and then tried for the FG

 

[Enikk]

Thank-you for the play by play. missed it but sounded like a great game

 

[Tuesday]

Taking CGY -3.5

Yeah last year Bo Levi Mitchell literally threw at least one interception per game like he did tonight...
