If Jerome Messam [Calgary] is on his game and Calgary can establish a solid run game the guy can be unstoppable. If Mitchell [QB for Calgary] is on his game Calgary may walk all over Edmonton.
Having said that, I agree that Reilly may make the difference. This guy has taken more hits in a game than a Mexican piñata. And he keeps getting up.
Both teams have got some great talent. We may be looking at a real low scoring battle or the gates will open up.
It may also come down to key injuries during the game or dumb penalties or a combination of both. Can’t wait to see this match up. I’m hoping for an Edmonton/SSK Grey Cup matchup if the final season game between Edmonton and SSK is any indication.
Maybe people are getting behind the game that needs to succeed.
Eskimos/Stampeders? Please, it’s a given this will have a huge crowd and both teams and their fans will be pumped for a game against their provincial rivals.
I’ll be shocked if the atmosphere is not electric for the start of this one.
I'm not one for trash talking other fans teams because it always bites me in the ass. Plus, my Stamps usually choke in the big game. Not a pessimist here, just a realist. Besides, Reilly, Gable and company are on a roll right now. And, did i mention that BO DON'T RUN!!!! so the Eskies will have a field day on defense because numb nuts won't leave the pocket which is a gift if you are the defensive coordinator. The only question is just how many steamboats can Calgary's O-line give Bo before he's sacked or throws the ball away.
