This evenings game was one of the most entertaining games of the year.Both teams showed both good offense and the ability to score points while on defense.For Hamilton,Maas is now doing what he was hired to do-throw the long ball.To date he had been only throwing short.He also displayed good running ability although I wonder why TiCats don't use Holmes more? K.Peterson in the past two games is showing pass catching moves and,what is important,hanging on to the ball-which has been a problem for him in past both in the West and now in Hamiton.For the Als Cahoon was outstanding not only in catching passes but also with his blocking.Edwards continues to impress with his receiving skills.Anwar Stewart in his touchdown interception showed his good speed.On the down side,Stala is having difficulty repeating his pass catching skills of last year.Tonight he dropped passes again.Indeed,the pass he dropped in the last seconds of the first half could have meant a loss for the team.However,with time he should regain his form of last year.A good game for both teams.
I gotta say, no one on the Hamilton team has anything to be ashamed about tonight. They played a heck of a game. This was one of those games where it's a shame that there has to be a losing team. In my opinion, the most entertaining game of the season to date.
Yup to all the morons that laughed because Calgary lost to the Tiger Cats take notice the Cats are for reall and are forming into a very good football team. Take note Bomber fans! :lol:

yup two very improved teams...Bombers and TiCats.....said that at the beginning of the year... :thup:
I took note 2 weeks ago when I predicted the cats winning 2 of there next 4. Now that means a split with the bombers. sounds plausible yes??? The parity this year makes things very intersting
This, in my opinion, was the best football game in the CFL so far this year.
Lead switched six times
Nearly 80 points scored
Three interceptions returned for touchdowns
Blocked punt
A direct snap on a fake punt ran for 35 yards
Missed field goal returned for 85 yards
Very few dropped balls
A lot less penalties
Both teams playing real quality football...
I know this must be disheartening for the Cats, for this was their best game of the year and they ended up losing again, but at least, they saw their team now seems to be totally in sync. If they keep that playing level, wins are going to go their way.
I'm with Third. Great competitive football game, and it's a shame there had to be a loser. This one could easily have gone the Cats' way. I know it sucks to be 1-5, but there's no shame in playing your best and losing by a field goal in the last minute. Maas looked great last night, he had rhythm with his deep threats all night long, and Paopao's playcalling seems much better now that he's up in the booth.
