Second of three meetings between the Stamps and Lions. Lions won a squeaker back on Aug. 1st 25-24. Stamps should be very motivated for this game having lost to Montreal and BC earlier in the season. Game marks the return of Jon Cornish and Bo Levi Mitchell although the latter is not expected to play. Lions need to play error free football if they hope to win. Could get real ugly if the Lions continue taking stupid undisciplined penalties like they did against Toronto.

Plus Edmonton is sniffing first place once again. Stamps will want to put that idea of the Esks to rest.

Mike Beamish picks the Lions to win. Lowell Ullrich picks the Stamps. It could go either way. John Hufnagel and Rich Stubler say the Stamps have to match B.C.'s intensity. The Lions play some of their best football against the Stamps. They're 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with Calgary, and 5-2 in the regular season since Mike Benevides became coach in 2012. The focus is on stopping Cornish but the Lions can't let Drew Tate pick up easy yards with his feet. Make him throw and the Lions should do well.

some changes Hardrick slides back to LG with Ramsey at LT. Hopefully this means Steward is close to returning. Mitchell out with Westerman starting and Lohr backing up. Lee starts for Marsh. No KR listed as Brown's replacement

... And just maybe allow KG to find a secondary receiver!

Iannuzzi and Logan will do the returning. Iannuzzi is expected to have a reduced role on offence.

The Ham @ Wpg game is running late and could run into ours. Luckily TSN has five feeds now to overcome this.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

BC on their opening drive and it's a good one, they march all the way for a TD. 6-0 BC.

Nice opening drive. The O-line looks pumped for this one.

Cgy near midfield on their opening drive has to punt.

Some good rushing so far against the 2nd best D against the run.
