Long-time Stampeders QB Bo Levi Mitchell makes his first return to Calgary with his new team as both the Stamps and Hamilton Tiger-Cats open their 2024 seasons in week 1.
I agree. More folks in the South should vacation in Canada during the summers. Including checking out a CFL game in person. There is great talent in the CFL. Alot of overlooked NFL level guys whom have greater opportunities in Canada.
It was the first regular season game that I watched live. It was an interesting matchup. For the first time Bo Levi Mitchell played against the team in which he won 2 Grey Cups in 2014 and 2018. And it was at the stadium that Bo was calling home for a long time. Fans welcomed him with respect that he deserved. And he wasn't bad, some of his passes were dropped by receivers and some touchdowns were taken off the board because of that... Hamilton defense wasn't good. Calgary had quite a lot of scoring opportunities. Rene Paredes had an awesome game. 6 out of 6 on field goals and he had a long one scored in the 1st quarter (52 yarder), both extra points were good as well. He scored more than offense, they only scored 12 points, Paredes scored 20 points.

Like Diehard, I too am a fan from the USA. So great to see the CFL back on the field. Still upset the TSN can't make a deal to broadcast here in the states. Make a deal..deal.
This one was for all of the people that ranked Calgary last coming into the season. We're so much better this year than last year. Go Stamps Go! PS- good to see Bo back in Calgary. I'd love for him to eventually retire and become a QB coach in Calgary...after an Anthony Calvillo-like bounce-back to close his career.
To be honest, Calgary won against Hamilton that wasn't doing good last season as well. It will be interesting to see Calgary playing against BC, Winnipeg and Montreal. It's the first game of the season, it's too early to consider Calgary a contender. They might end with less wings then the last season.
Either Mississauga or one more in Quebec would be good. I'd love to make it somewhere in the Atlantic, but I don't know if Halifax or St. Johns would have enough of a fan base...and the CFL operates almost on a shoestring budget.
@@szahmad2416 I heard that Halifax has a few businessmen interested in having the team in the city, so the question is about the fans, will the new team have fans?
@@teo_heel yeah, bottom line really is the fan base. If that's not there, there's no team. Plus, it's important to determine how much the city would have to pay to have a new stadium built there, or expand an existing one for the purpose. That kind of thing is what ticks off taxpayers paying for it.
@@szahmad2416 I heard that there might be a temporary stadium that will be build in a few months so the actual stadium will be built and the team would have a place to play, just like the Empire Field was for BC when BC Place was reconstructed.
Nothing fancy to this one. Really good punt to Calgary’s 5 yd line, but a really big bad bounce away from the returner through the back of the end zone. Stamps scrimmage from the 40yd line.
Bo looked sharper than he has in 3 years. He had 2 dropped touchdown passes and 1 catchable td dropped. He had some bad balls too but overall i think we are lucky to get the W. Still, Maier is looking way better than last season. Go stamps go
I think he looked the same as last year before injury, they can move the ball they just need to finish the drive, when they start to Hamilton will be hard to beat
Tough loss for Hamilton, that drop late in the 3rd quarter really bit them, especially after the missed FG and the lengthy return Regroup and let's get back to business next week
Yea they need to clean things up, Bo was playing like the old bo, that man trained hard in the off season to get back to himself, Zach Collaros was able to do it so can bo
Tough losses? *Scoff*. We Hamiltonians are BORN to endure tough losses, with Bo on our team or, in 2014 Grey Cup, against our team! We're the Toronto Maple Leafs of the CFL! Go ahead and come at me with that Tough Losses thing!
Fun fact: this is the first time Bo has played in a game between the Stampeders and the Cats, and lost. Also fun fact: Bo has only played one game against the Stampeders as a Cat. This one.
6:45 - that was a very dangerous hit to the head of Marken Michel by Stavros Katsantonis. It looked scary when Michel wasn't able to wake up after the hit.
I watched arch-veteran Trevor Harris play last night. Very impressed! And I watched old-timer BLM open his season in CowTown. He also impressed, despite looking pretty thread-bare last season. Something that jumped out at me was when BLM took off for a run, and after being tackled called the officials over to himself, staggering and pretending he took an illegal hit to the helmet (which he clearly didn't). It reminded me of a playoff game 3 or 4 yrs ago when Trevor Harris marched his Alouettes up the field and into the Red Zone with only seconds left to play. Apropos of nothing, the officials stopped play and yanked Harris out for 'concussion protocols'. Als lost the game. Fast-forward to BLM taking a faux-flop y'day, holding his wobbly head. Why wasn't he instantly placed on protocol?? It wasn't even ruled that he had to sit out a single play, let alone the game. And on that subject, will there be a suspension for the Wpg defensive player who on Thursday's game went after Mtl's QB when the outcome was already on the books. Not only did he hit him well after the pass was thrown, but he followed up with 2 successive forceful strikes to the head (15yd penalty called; no ejection). Again, what's the rule? In the afore-mentioned instance, Harris was sidelined by officials for "protocol" for similar helmet contact. Glad that we're no longer punishing the victim, but...?
As an NFL fan i am happy to see that Taliua will be getting a shot in the CFL. Also as an NFL fan, i cant understand why the goal post is in feont of the end zone. Seems like a huge distraction and saftey issue. Can anyone fill me in?
Short passes, finishing drives with FGs, but Barnes made catches, Houston set up a FG, Brooks set up a FG, Echols made a great catch. But they lose without Brooks's runs and Houston's pick. Can't be that pedantic, so careful, and win. Need to go downfield.
enfin CFL est de retour. j'espère que les Alouettes vont bien défendre leurs titre de champion . si non j'ai 2 choses que si je veux changer dans la CFL,la zone de Touchdown est trop grande,ça fait 2 fois celle de la NFL,on peut marquer facilement,faut la diviser en moitié pour rendre le jeux plus difficile et plus combatif. l'autre chose je trouve le ballon est trop grand,et c'est facile de la faire tomber,juste mon avis. si non j'adore la CFL,un grand Fan de Paris(France).
@@user-yg1dg6xm2g it is close. Ask Ottawa when they beat Winnipeg despite trailing by 16 with less than 3 minutes to go. No lead is safe in CFL. Hamilton had a chance.
I feel unsurprised this Recap omits the Command Center call that put Hamilton on the 20 yard line with 1:21 to go. -- It was either incomplete or a fumble. I hope the CFL stops engineering "made for TV" finishes for TSN's benefit, but realistically, this is sports entertainment... not sport.
In my honest opinion that catch by Shemar Bridges was a close one... he kinda had control of the ball but at the same he was struggling with holding the ball in his hands and the ball went out when he was down with the contact. Questionable call, but not that awful.
And CFL isn't that bad on officials calling BS. Yeah, they might have a bad call once in a few games, but most of the time they're doing their job pretty good. CFL is about fun, but it's a sports, not sports entertainment like WWE.
In my opinion, the CFL desperately needs more Canadians playing in the league. And preferably close to home or where they grew up to help generate more interest. This league is the best football product on the planet, but money rules the world, not quality.
@@teo_heel yeah, it's that "staying healthy" bit that seems hardest for him. Reminds me of when Hamilton had Matt Dunnigan and Danny McManus. I really wish Hamilton didn't keep grabbing the veteran shiny bauble for QB, or trading out good QBs after they develop them (e.g. Calvillo and Collaros). We might have had at least one Grey Cup in the last 25 years. McManus DID get us a Cup, but then, destroyed the team by staying.
As a US fan of the CFL, it is SO SATISFYING to see y’all back in action!
Me too😂😂😂 passes the time for the nfl to come back

Too funny! But to be fair, his 'buoys' let him d(r)own a few times when he should've been swimming.😉

They need a tenth team period !

The CFL prognosticators picked the Stamps for ninth place - dead last. I don't think so.
@@edgar-edgartonsame I think it’s because of our schedule though
@@edgar-edgarton we'll see. It's up to Stampeders to prove them wrong just like Alouettes done in 2023.
Bringing on the CFL!! 🎉GO B. C. 😊
There was a rouge that was not shown. As someone new to CFL (American), I want to see those points scored. Let me grasp the differences!

I think he looked the same as last year before injury, they can move the ball they just need to finish the drive, when they start to Hamilton will be hard to beat
Maier has better protection, a more stable O-line and looks more accurate than last year. That helps!
He looks to be in better shape this year. Pretty chubby last year. More good receivers this year too
I just hope to find a channel to watch these games
Are you an American viewer
If you're from US, CBS Sports Network broadcast some of the games, others will be available for free on CFL+.
I’m an American from Athens,Ga waiting for my Bulldawgs to play but I genuinely enjoy the CFL. Especially over the UFL
Would love to see some more punts in these highlight videos!
Special teamers deserve the love too!
Congrats Calgary
I really like these Stamps’ uniforms, after so many uniforms throughout the years looks like they’ve found a look they’re satisfied with. 😂
Tough loss for Hamilton, that drop late in the 3rd quarter really bit them, especially after the missed FG and the lengthy return
Regroup and let's get back to business next week
Yeah, dropped passes were a problem for Ticats. And that missed field goal as well, because with that return Stamps were already in the scoring range.
Yea they need to clean things up, Bo was playing like the old bo, that man trained hard in the off season to get back to himself, Zach Collaros was able to do it so can bo

Calgary seriously needs to redo their uniforms 1 thing you do get rid of those stripes period go all ready and all white helmets metallic red

He was only picked once and it was bad designed play.
