With this victory, Calgary joins Saskatchewan at 4-1 atop the West Division, while the Winnipeg Blue Bombers sit at 3-1. The current CFL standings show a wide-open race in both divisions, with Montreal and Hamilton leading the East at 3-2. The West Division remains the most competitive, with four teams separated by just one game. Saskatchewan’s high-powered offense, which had been averaging over 28 points per game, was held to just 10 points by Calgary’s opportunistic defense.

The victory showcases Calgary’s potential as a legitimate Grey Cup contender, with Adams Jr. finding his rhythm and rookie receiver Alford emerging as a legitimate deep threat. For Saskatchewan, the loss serves as a reminder that even the league’s top offenses can be neutralized by disciplined defensive play and timely turnovers.

How will Calgary build on this momentum heading into their road matchup against Winnipeg? Can Saskatchewan bounce back from this setback when they visit BC next week? What are your thoughts on this game? Share your comments below.

Calgary Stampeders Week 1 Recap: Breaking Down What Still Needs Work

Image
Just because the Calgary Stampeders won in week one, it doesn’t mean they don’t have things to work on.  Sometimes wins can hide issues. Good teams don’t let that happen; they continue to improve, regardless of the results.  Here are some of the week 1 mistakes that Calgary needs to improve if they want to enjoy a successful season. Offense Scoring 38 points and winning is obviously not a bad game. But the Calgary Stampeders’ offense wasn’t perfect. There is still plenty of room for improvement.  The biggest issue was turnovers. Vernon Adams Jr. threw two interceptions. Adams had an overall good day (19/28 for 284 yards), but he will need to take care of the ball better in the future.  The Stampeders also had a turnover on downs on a failed QB sneak attempt by P.J. Walker. Walker is new in that role, but on 3rd and less than one, he needs to be near automatic.  The offensive line is another issue. Allowing two sacks isn’t terrible, b...

CFL 2025 Opening Week: Montreal Alouettes 28 Toronto Argonauts 10 Recap The defending CFL champion Argos didn’t look like an established championship team on Friday night.

CFL Week 2 Preview: Calgary Stampeders @ Toronto Argonauts

Image
Week 2 of the 2025 CFL Season sees the defending Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts kick off their home schedule at BMO Field against the Calgary Stampeders . Saturday afternoon’s game is intended to be a celebration of the Argos’ Grey Cup 111 victory and their 19th overall CFL championship in front of their loyal Double Blue crowd. But Toronto is looking to turn the page on what was an uninspiring 2025 debut in Montreal. Still without superstar quarterback Chad Kelly, and sporting 13 new starters in their lineup. The Argonauts didn’t look like defending champs in a mistake-filled 28-10 loss to Montreal. In Week 2, Toronto faces a proud Calgary club that has moved past last year’s disappointing 5-12-1 campaign. It was the first time in two decades, that the Stampeders missed the postseason.
