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.

In a matchup between the CFL’s last two Grey Cup Champions.

On a night that saw the audible horns from the Montreal faithful go silent. It was the Alouettes sounding off the loudest message. 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. Toronto, sporting 13 new starters since last November’s Grey Cup triumph, looked out of sorts all evening, committing several costly mistakes, including one turnover in scoring range early on, and a pivotal faux pas right before...

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. The revamped Stamps are coming off an impressive 38-26 victory over Hamilton at home in Week 1. Led by new arrival Vernon Adams, and an exceptional ground attack. Calgary appears to be...
