the Stampeders...have fallen to 5-4

alright so today was labour day, and the Esks and Argos came out victorious. the Eskimoes defeated the Stampeders 37-16.
the Stamps defence held up in the first half, but fell apart in the second. I don't blame this loss on the defence however. the offence couldnt seem to do much aside from run close to the endzone but not convert it into touchdowns. Burris played alright in the first half before getting hurt, coming out of halftime down 12-9, the stamps led by Dave Dickenson got a touchdown. Edmonton promptly answered back, then the Stamps proceeded to fumble away the ball on two consecutive punt returns, allowing the Eskimoes to build up two touchdown lead. Dickenson got banged up late in the game and 3rd string Barrick Nealy was put in for the final minutes.
for the first time this season the Stampeders got fully beat on all 3 facets of the game.
I didn't get to watch much of the Argos game, but the Argonaughts beat the Tiger-cats 34-31, with a close finish and Hamilton failing on a 3rd and inches with a minute left.
The Eskimoes move to within 2 points of the Riders, 2 points ahead of the Stampeders who are 2 points ahead of the Lions.
the Stamps head to Edmonton to face the Eskimoes in the rematch on Friday at 7pm (TSN)
in other CFL news, it sounds like Charles Roberts has been traded by Winnipeg to BC for Joe Smith. interesting move for both, a bit of a shakeup, but it won't save the Bombers.
so the Stampeders have fallen to 5-4, but will look better on Friday, hopefully with Burris leading the charge.
one stat that sticks out to me is sacks. the stamps D have gotten the least sacks of any team in the league, need to get to the qb more.
