Despite a 3-2 record the Calgary Stampeders failed to register a win at home until this game in early August. Calgary and Hamilton came into the game sharing the 3-2 record. Both teams were in for a test; Stamps fans particularly interested to see if the offence would figure itself out after lackluster starts in the first 5 games.
It didn't take long to get the answer. After a Ti-Cat 2-and-out Calgary marched down the field and scored their first major on the opening possession this season. Larry Taylor on the pass and scamper.

Two notable roster moves in Stamps camp. First off, Drew Tate is back into action after missing a month an a half with a shoulder injury. He'll retain his place as Burris' backup. That would also spell the end of Michael Bishop who's brief stint running short yardage plays with the Stamps comes to a close. He knew his role coming in and completed it with class. Maybe Winnipeg will pick him up

Rene Paredes went 4/5 in field goals, turning his game around from the previous week misses, but also kicking Calgary to a much needed win over their Western rivals. Both teams have been struggling offensively, particularly Calgary early on in games. The offence tried to move the ball early but showed the same frustrating lack of execution.

The Calgary Stampeders like to play down to the last drive it seems. They also like to take a nap for 30 minutes every single game. They had little business having a chance to steal a victory in the last drive at home in part one of the Battle of Alberta.
In past year's the Stamps have dominated and embarrassed the Eskies. This year looks a bit different with a much improved Edmonton team and a vastly inconsistent Calgary squad.
The game could be boiled down to three elements:

They sure don't like to do things the easy way. The Calgary Stampeders played their last game at Canada Inns Stadium before it's torn down and it's a good thing because there were problems on the field.
The Stamps may be 2-1 on the season, but in each of those games they could've easily lost had it not been for shoddy kickers. On Calgary's side of the ball, offensively there are problems. Then again, every year it seems the offence has issues.

Calgary 21 - Toronto 23
A beautiful day to open the 2011 CFL season at McMahon. The sun was out, the fans were eager to see the revamped Stamps, and anticipation for another steller season held in the balance.
Too bad there was a mid-way point lull in the offence or the day would've ended with a victory.

Stamps 37 - Edmonton 22
Last week the Stamps, albeit playing with a hodge podge lineup, couldn't register a single point (tough to accomplish in a league with the rouge). Some the questions about offence were temporarily put to rest as the first team offence played the first half and put up some solid numbers.
Henry Burris threw well and scored majors, the O-line provided pass protection, the run game had moments of brilliance, and special teams dominated.
Defensively there are a slew of new faces particularly in the secondary that was beat for long balls a few times tonight.
Notable game highlights included Andrew Fabian, whom last week was working on his dad's Tilley, Alberta farm, and this week was kicking field goals in place of an injured Rob Maver.
