[Flickered Flame]

The two big questions for me; can BLM finally break through an Edmonton defense that seems to have figured out how to defend the Stamps passing game and can the Stamps secondary keep the Esks from hitting the homeroom plays in their passing game.

Something tells me the Skylar Dawson has a big game against his former team for the Stamps.

[Da_Chief]

I have some issues with this lineup.

Why are we still dressing only 6 OL and the 6th guy is an actual DL? Like c'mon. Paul Swiston has been on the PR all season. Is he that bad that despite all these injuries he can't play? why is he on the team? Randy Richards showed he can take player's head off while on STs, why isn't he getting in? Against a mediocre BC front 4, we got away but against a good DL of Eskimos, this is trouble.

Fuller sits in favor of West 2 weeks in a row? C'mon DD and Huff.

Jeff Fuller is still hurting that's why he is not in the lineup. Randy Richards is an import or international so it doesn't make sense to put him in since Stamps are already starting 3 international OLine. Yes I agree that they should dress Paul Swiston as a backup OLine and leave Smith as an DLine but I think they would rather dress DL Derek Wiggan than Swiston that's why they are putting Quinn Smith as a backup OLine. Stamps just signed OL Gord Hinse on a practice roster but he might not be ready to suit in. Don't be surprised if he does though.

In the start of the season our OLine looks like this:

LT Spencer Wilson LG Edwin Harrison C Pierre Lavertu RG Dan Federkeil LT Shane Bergman. In tomorrow's game, only Spencer Wilson is suiting up and he is playing on a different position. Wow, that's sucks! I am just glad the players that replaced those injured players are playing well; otherwise we might not be in the playoffs at all. To top it off, our starting RB Jon Cornish hasn't even played for weeks now.

Glad to see Simon Charbonneau-Campeau back. Having 3 international OLine at the same time means we need to have 2 starting national receivers along with Marquay McDaniel and Eric Rogers on the field.

GO STAMPS GO!!!

[dash_pinched]

I just hope DD doesn't abandon the run game early if it is struggling. Find ways to get Messam the ball (swing passes, screen passes etc.) and let him pound on some Eskimo defenders.

Haha did you ever butcher their positions.
Was supposed to be
LT Harrison
LG Bergman
C Levertu
RG Wilson
RT Federkiel

4 of the 5 got hurt.

I think this is what we'll see come out of training camp next year.

LT - Dennis*, Williams*
LG - Bergman, Craighead
C - Levertu, Lavoie
RG - Wilson, Erdos
RT - Federkiel, Estes*
* Imports

Jeff Fuller was healthy and ready to go vs BC. Huff had said the WR will be a battle and Fuller got beat out. I doubt he got hurt again.

West is average, I'd rather have Fuller in there.

[Sainters7]

Fuller is so frustrating, dude has so much potential but it just never all comes together it seems (consistently week to week I mean). That and he just seems like one of those bandaid athletes who can never go more than a few weeks without getting banged up with something.

If he really is healthy right now, I don't get the decision at all to go with West over him. Clearly Fuller's the better option IMO. Really makes me think something's still hampering him, I mean it's not like West has ever been the picture of consistency during his Stamps career either.

[adc]

Even if healthy I am not sure he is the better option. If his head is right he is for sure but I am not sure I have seen someone (Arthur included) drop so many balls that hit him right in the hands that anyone of us could catch.

Fuller can make the big play but he just as often, if not more, makes the drive killing drop as well. West certainly has had issues with the drops but not at the level of Fuller.

[tvp2003]

That Stamps O-line is terrifying. I really hope Dickenson has a solid game plan -- quick hitters in the passing game and hopefully get Messam out in space (run or pass) because working inside the tackles might be tough sledding with this group.

I think the defence will need to carry this team tomorrow -- limit the big plays and get a few hits on Reilly to disrupt the passing game.

Go Stamps! Punch that ticket to Winnipeg!

[dash_pinched]

Go Stamps! Punch that ticket to Winnipeg!

Looks like a pretty nice day in Edmonton for football (Sunny skies and 5 degrees Celsius forecast for this afternoon with a breeze out of the NW at about 20 km/h).

[RyZ]

Isn't this game supposed to be on youtube this afternoon? If so, anybody got a link? I can't find the East final anywhere.

[killer_carlson]

For what it is worth, the thermometer in my car says 8 degrees and I live about 3 blocks from commonwealth stadium.

It is very windy today as well. That will play a factor.

[transplant99]

Yeah this whole O-Line situation is probably too much to overcome with the speed and ferocity of that Eskimo front 7. One way or another that's where this game will be decided IMO.

Hope BLM can protect the ball and find a way to put up 20 or so and pray like hell the Stamps D can have a day is the likeliest formula for winning. Pretty much what they have been doing in many games all year though, so its definitely doable.

[troutman]

A lot of empty seats.

[browna]

Gsg

[Armchair Quarterback]

Go Stamps!

Nervous about this game, our offense has to get it going. Oh man, we just fumbled.

[flamesfan6]

owch, well this is a guaranteed 3 pts for edmonton after that fumble

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I'm always flabbergasted by guys who line up offside on their own goalline. There's a giant stripe on the field you dummy!

[Jbo]

Chris Jones has such a punchable face.

Oh, and I hate Edmonton.

[troutman]

Lose the turnover battle, lose the game.

No more mistakes.

[Bent Wookie]

Well,

1) offensive line error - check
2) turnover - check
3) penalty - check

Is football really that difficult?

[Armchair Quarterback]

Chris Jones has such a punchable face.

Oh, and I hate Edmonton.

Really want to see Chris Jones lose. All aboard the Jarome Messam train

[flamesfan6]

the snaps need to get better... a lot better...

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Rogers will be in the NFL next year for sure

[Armchair Quarterback]

Come on boys, grind 'em down.

EDIT: First and goal and you throw it twice?

[troutman]

Run it in from the 3 - not long throws!

Brutal.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Best RB in the league and you throw it to Parker? Lol

[Yoho]

Parker is so frustrating to watch

[JiriHrdina]

Stamps the better team in the first quarter but it won't matter if you turn the ball over.

[OzSome]

Mr. Anthony "Fumble & Drop Pass" Parker. I am starting to lose confidence on this guy.

[MissTeeks]

Starting?

[Armchair Quarterback]

Mr. Anthony "Fumble & Drop Pass" Parker. I am starting to lose confidence on this guy.

Yah but why throw it twice when you're on the 3 yard line? Let Messam take care of that

[OzSome]

Best RB in the league and you throw it to Parker? Lol

I have no problem with that play call because it works. Unfortunately Parker dropped the ball.

[OzSome]

Starting?

Yes. I keep giving him a benefit of the doubt but not sure anymore.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I have no problem with that play call because it works. Unfortunately Parker dropped the ball.
That's the point. He drops more passes than anyone else in the league

[OzSome]

big smirk on that a-hole Chris Jones.

[MissTeeks]

God, I dislike him.

[Jbo]

Edmonton getting some good spots by the refs...

[Frank MetaMusil]

How was that a first down? Horrible spot there.

[Armchair Quarterback]

That gouda cheeseburger looks disgusting. Looks like it got way too much special sauce on there

[Jbo]

Yikes what is going on with the snaps today?

[socalwingfan]

It would be nice is Chris Jones could get some camera time

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Hey TSN, maybe stop talking about Rogers leading the league in receiving for the 100th time and show the play!

[browna]

Nice miss of the play by TSN. Too busy trying to pander to the US audience.

[Jbo]

Wow Paredes having himself a great start

[Jbo]

Um do they want to call the hold on Calgary, rather then challenge PI? What is going on refs?

[You Need a Thneed]

Defiinately a hold on Edmonton, not PI.

[Armchair Quarterback]

That's a dumb one to challenge. Shows that Jones is nervous, wants to take every little chance he can get.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

What a stupid rule, can't challenge OPI? LAME

[#22]

Upon further review of the play, that is holding, number 4, Edmonton

[Jbo]

What!!!

[JiriHrdina]

Wow what a terrible call.

[GirlySports]

What!!

[Armchair Quarterback]

Upon further review of the play, that is holding, number 4, Edmonton

Can that actually happen?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

That's NFL level reffing right there

[#22]

Unbelievable, what a disgrace

[Frank MetaMusil]

Surprise surprise, they win the challenge. That was garbage.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME????

[Jbo]

Pretty embarrassing CFL...

[socalwingfan]

And the fix is in...

[JiriHrdina]

People wonder why viewership is down. Crap like that is why.

[browna]

What? Terrible.Hugh Campbell made the call to the command center. Tsn brushes it off.

[Mightyfire89]

Horse **** call. Brutal.

[transplant99]

wow....that's just a horrendous decision

[The Big Chill]

Unreal.

[CofR]

I don't understand how they can justify that decision... Ugh

[Jbo]

People wonder why viewership is down. Crap like that is why.

Honestly, anyone that has flipped over from the NFL games (most of my friends) are laughing and flipping right back

[flamesfan6]

how the hell was that reviewed to be PI.. wtf

[Yoho]

Seriously beyond belief, your telling me that they conclusively over ruled the non call of pass interference?

The ref did Esks a favour by not call in offensive pass interference..

[OzSome]

Ref seems to be favouring the Eskimos here. First they gave Eskies first down when it was freaking short a few plays ago. Now they are calling that a PI when Bowman was holding McDonald. BS!!

[JiriHrdina]

The maddening thing is that video replay has done nothing to ensure they get the call right. Slower game, bigger delays - and still blown calls.

[#22]

I would like an explanation at half time on that call. Seriously.

[GirlySports]

Honestly, anyone that has flipped over from the NFL games (most of my friends) are laughing and flipping right back

Not comparing to NFL. CFL itself is worse compared to previous years

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The maddening thing is that video replay has done nothing to ensure they get the call right. Slower game, bigger delays - and still blown calls.

Trying their best to imitate the NFL with bizarre reviews and blown calls

[Yoho]

Your allowed to run after you catch it Marque.

[Jbo]

Not comparing to NFL. CFL itself is worse compared to previous years

Don't get me wrong. I agree. Just focusing on the fact most friends I know would be switching over from an NFL game to see that.

[Jbo]

Great catch!

[#-3]

Well the great thing about the CFL is the quality of announcers. They say something looked wrong with the play, they come back and say their first impression was wrong, and the call the league out for making the wrong call.

In the NHL you would have gotten a best of the 3 pieces of commentary with the bleeding either Red or Green the whole time.

[Frank MetaMusil]

The maddening thing is that video replay has done nothing to ensure they get the call right. Slower game, bigger delays - and still blown calls.
Even the guys in the broadcast booth know it was the wrong call. It's just so amateur.

[GirlySports]

Don't get me wrong. I agree. Just focusing on the fact most friends I know would be switching over from an NFL game to see that.

Oh yeah. NFL has its own problems. It also has 16 games per week

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Don't get me wrong. I agree. Just focusing on the fact most friends I know would be switching over from an NFL game to see that.

Honestly as brutal as the CFL refs have been this year (beyond terrible), the NFL guys have been just as bad if not worse.

[Jbo]

Oh yeah. NFL has its own problems. It also has 16 games per week

Problem...? ;)

[GirlySports]

So fixed

[flamesfan6]

stupid

[Jbo]

Honestly as brutal as the CFL refs have been this year (beyond terrible), the NFL guys have been just as bad if not worse.

Agree to disagree.

Oh and look another call against us.

[GirlySports]

CFL still has the force out rule?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I detest the force out rule, let the guys play defence

[Frank MetaMusil]

Run the ball!

[Jbo]

Need to punch it in here

[troutman]

Throwing again from the 3?

[I_H8_Crawford]

RUN the GD Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flamesfan6]

if that was cgy holding up an eskimos receiver that would of been PI

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Unbelievable.

[Yoho]

Run the ball!!!

[I_H8_Crawford]

OMFG

Run the DAMN Ball DD!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus.

[flamesfan6]

that's now 2 TD's the stamps should of had

[Armchair Quarterback]

Again, Dickenson are you kidding me. Run. The. Ball.

[FLAMESRULE]

Horrid goal line play calling. 4 attempted passes and 6pts. Should have 8 more pts from these drives.

[troutman]

We should have 17 points. Pound it in!

[Mightyfire89]

Dammit! Try a running play, maybe? Yeesh. That could be costly.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Best back in the league and he doesn't get the ball once on 4 plays from inside the 5. Terrible playcalling

[OzSome]

This time I will agree with everyone questioning those two plays especially the first one. Give it to Messam and see how he'll do then throw it if you want to.

[browna]

Not sure why Messam doesn't slide out there for a 2 yd pass at least.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Throwing again from the 3?
Dave Dickenson is so effing stubborn. Thats just not championship play calling. It's sickening how dumb he's calling the red zone offense.

[Weitz]

The CFL has a force out rule??? That's sad.

[Armchair Quarterback]

You really have to wonder sometimes about Calgary's playcalling. Why on earth would you do that, not only ONCE, but TWICE, on the 3 yard line? Insane.

[troutman]

Even 3 QB sneaks would get in in, every time.

[#22]

Yeah, don't understand why they wouldn't run on that. Three shots to gain 3 yards? No brainer to me

[M*A*S*H 4077]

So close!

[Jbo]

Are you kidding me

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Edmonton is just going to pick on these Calgary corners, they need to give them some help

[troutman]

I hate PI in every kind of football.

So many drives bailed out.

[flamesfan6]

Brutal D there,, ######

[I_H8_Crawford]

Edmonton executes in the red zone

Calgary can't gain 3 yards TWICE.

[GirlySports]

How do you guys watch this :p

[OzSome]

Fck!! Defense collapsed on that drive.

[#22]

Defense is not playing good enough

[Jbo]

I hate PI in every kind of football.

I don't mind it, but they are calling crap and seem a little flag happy.

[Yoho]

I didn't see the PI

[Stay Golden]

Congratulations on your fixed game CFL.

[browna]

How dumb is Suitor? Scolding the Stamps for bringing a blitz. It's not as if the safety was going to be there in the flat, it's not like that was an over the top throw.

Cheap penalty aided drive.

[FLAMESRULE]

Even the corner or safety blitzes aren't getting any pressure.

And another fumble. F me.

[socalwingfan]

I hope Hufnagel slaps Dickinson in the head behind closed doors at the half. Inexcusable play calling

[GirlySports]

Ok hes down

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I hate PI in every kind of football.

So many drives bailed out.

I'd like to see them allow as much contact as possible provided you don't actually grab the jersey, trip, or tackle the receiver. Let's see how good these receivers actually are when they can't just fall over at a stiff breeze. DB has to be the hardest position in all of sports, rules are slanted so hard against you.

[Jbo]

I have 0 faith in the CFL command centre

[Yoho]

Great job refs your standing right there.

[socalwingfan]

Ok hes down


You never know in the cfl

[GirlySports]

Yay!

[#22]

Sadly, I'm almost surprised they got that right

[Frank MetaMusil]

I hope Hufnagel slaps Dickinson in the head behind closed doors at the half. Inexcusable play calling
He's been doing it all season too, its not just this game.

1st and 4? Throw the ball instead of making it 2nd and 2.

He's a major reason the Stamps might lose today.

[socalwingfan]

Chris Jones' Roy Orbison look is so edgy. Perfect fit for Shelbyville

[I_H8_Crawford]

Seriously, it almost pisses me off seeing Messam get 5 yards each carry.

That should have been 2 GUARANTEED TDs, but instead, nope, why try running with a huge back who just gets yards????

Nope, better try some fancy pass plays instead.

[Jbo]

Honestly one of the worst halfs of football all year for me. Brutal ref calls. Poor play calling by the Stamps. Edmonton antics in general.

[Armchair Quarterback]

He's been doing it all season too, its not just this game.

1st and 4? Throw the ball instead of making it 2nd and 2.

He's a major reason the Stamps might lose today.

I agree. Calgary should be winning this game.

Get ready for the smug TSN panel. I'm gunna go make myself a drink

[#22]

Is this the "let's blow Edmonton" half time show?

[Frank MetaMusil]

Seriously, it almost pisses me off seeing Messam get 5 yards each carry.

That should have been 2 GUARANTEED TDs, but instead, nope, why try running with a huge back who just gets yards????

Nope, better try some fancy pass plays instead.
Absolutely. It drives me crazy how he can't see this.

His coaching is so stupid its predictable. Jones knew Calgary wouldn't run because Dickenson thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The only ones the Stamps can blame for not being ahead right now are themselves. How they don't give Messam the ball is beyond me

[troutman]

Stamps have 60 yards more offence.

Fumble, penalties and bad red zone play calling handing Edmonton the lead.

[You Need a Thneed]

No reason why the Stamps can't win this game, they are playing well enough to. Mess am was working, can't abandon the run.

[browna]

Hopefully some false sense of security for the Esks. The same TSN glossing over the terrible PI challenge call is saying the Esks don't look rusty. At least 8, probably 12 more points if DD and BLM don't tighten up when they sniff the goal line.

[OzSome]

Game is not over. We are only 9 points behind. Huf should just bench Skye Dawson for his fumble problem and Anthony Parker for dropping passes and for that stupid penalty.

Stamps offense is actually playing well considering John Estes snapping problem and the patch-up OLine. Defense are working with the patch up lineup as well having to play Berger full-time as a DB. Aside from the TD drive by Eskimos, our defense is playing decent. Special Team aside for Paredes and Maver not so good. Killam should try Durant as a returner instead of Dawson.

[Stay Golden]

1st on the 2 no run
2nd on the 2 no run.
Fg.
Dickinson is calling an awful game inside the redzone.
Twice the Stamps have been inside the 15 and on both drives he called for a run Zero times.

[Wiggum_PI]

Hufnagel needs to take Dickensons head set away for the rest of the game. Absolutely embarrasing play calling from the red zone.

[Sainters7]

Finally caught up on the PVR, I'm glad you guys are as aggravated as I've been with the pass happy calls within the 5. What is DD thinking??

I've yelled "RUN THE BALL!!!" at the TV too many times already.

[powderjunkie]

To be fair, the Seahawks won the superbowl by throwing a quick slant on the 2 yard line...

The playcalling reflects their lack of belief in their Oline to open holes in close yardage plays. The injuries could also be a factor here.

[Armchair Quarterback]

No reason why the Stamps can't win this game, they are playing well enough to. Mess am was working, can't abandon the run.

Agreed. This game is winnable. Keep the turnovers down, grind away on offense.

And don't make stupid play calls in the red zone.

[Stay Golden]

1 flag on Edmonton in the entire first half. 1 flag??????. Edmonton 2 D lineman were still moving their feet and did not get reset at the snap on the Edmonton gamble.
The bubble screen pi was a complete joke. Bowman runs a block and we get called for a pi on Bowman.
CFL is showing loud and clear they want the snot Green and urine yellow in the greycup.
In order for the Stamps to win they have overcome the refs and their opponent. Dickinson is going have quit being a tool in the redzone.

[Finger Cookin]

I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the Eskimos head coach speak before today. He's been appropriately mocked all season, I hope?

[browna]

Is this the "let's blow Edmonton" half time show?

Just lazy analysis by talking heads trying to sound smart. The Stamps come back and the story will be how much preserverance the Stamps have and how motivational it was for the team to do it for Huff is potentially his last game.

When really, it will be some basic execution that they just have to carry out.

Full confidence that Stamps will get a few turnovers and Jones will melt down. Stamps just can't make any more dumb mistakes and relax in red zone.

[Wiggum_PI]

The playcalling reflects their lack of belief in their Oline to open holes in close yardage plays. The injuries could also be a factor here.

Messam is averaging 5 yards a carry this game. Absolutely no good reason not to give him the ball on those red zone plays from the 3 yard line.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Rogers' comments say it all.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Get Berger off the field. Can't cover, can't tackle.

[Stay Golden]

Even Rodgers a freakin reciever says we have to pound the ball when we are near the goal line. We have to give the ball to 245lb Mess'.
Wake up Dickinson!!!

[browna]

Suitor is a tool, 2 plays into the 3q and says Stamps need a stop, or else.

[#22]

Why would you take that penalty?

[JBR]

Edmonton O-line is the difference right now. No pressure at all on Reilly

[troutman]

Well, go Red Blacks.

[FLAMESRULE]

FFS. Just terribad pressure and a coverage breakdown.

[OzSome]

there goes the defense again. Reilly have lots of time picking his receivers.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Why would you take that penalty?
It would have been 3rd and less than a yard on the 55. Edmonton would have gone for it. Taking the penalty is the correct call there.

Defense imploding, Reilly throwing the ball well

[JiriHrdina]

It would have been 3rd and less than a yard on the 55. Edmonton would have gone for it. Taking the penalty is the correct call there.

Defense imploding, Reilly throwing the ball well

Broadcast had it as 2nd and 8 - meaning it would have been 3rd and 3.
But that's not where the ball was - so I assume TSN had it wrong.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Penalty is applied from where the ball was prior to the snap on an offside, Suitor had it wrong

[Armchair Quarterback]

Alright offense, time to score a TD.

[JiriHrdina]

Penalty is applied from where the ball was prior to the snap on an offside, Suitor had it wrong

Ah yes. Of course.

[browna]

Probably for the best Dawson is shaken up. Fumbled (down or not) today as much the Joffrey Reynolds did against the Esks (then Riders the next year) in the playoffs a decade or so ago.

[Aarongavey]

I hope when they get it in the red zone again they at least try running the ball

[#22]

It would have been 3rd and less than a yard on the 55. Edmonton would have gone for it. Taking the penalty is the correct call there.

Penalty made it 2nd and 8. Would have been 3rd and 3 (unless the scoreboard was wrong)

Edit : nvm, I see now

[darockwilder]

That almost looked like a semi horse collar

[OzSome]

It is time for Keon to wake up the team again but going Pick-6.

Shoot!! I thought Rogers got that ball. Muamba did a great job stripping the ball.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Ah, the Dickenson screen pass.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Run game has officially been abandoned. Another 2 pass and out series again.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Keon making some plays

[Armchair Quarterback]

Keon is so clutch. Could he replace Mason on the Calgary Flames please?

[Mightyfire89]

Need a TD on the next possession to have any real shot at a comeback.

My poor tv is taking a brutal verbal assault during this game.

[I_H8_Crawford]

BLM is having a great day IMO

About the best I have seen him all year

[browna]

Suitor so disappointed that his bf Sherrit didn't get the fumble.

[powderjunkie]

Shocked they got a call right for once.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

What is West doing? Turn upfield!

[dirk diggler]

this ispainful to watch betweent eh team falling apart, the horrible reffing and the eskimo love from the announcers..... and who can forget how they talk about Chris Jones like he is Bill Belichik

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Backup QB beaking off. Dummy

[kmart]

No objectional conduct on Lacy...

[browna]

Where is the taunting call?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

West needs to catch that. Unreal

[troutman]

In 40 years I can only recall once or twice where we had a returner who was a real threat to score.

[chedder]

BLM is having a great day IMO

About the best I have seen him all year
Say what?!

[kmart]

We get a call?

[OzSome]

Fck!! Unbelievable!

[socalwingfan]

In 40 years I can only recall once or twice where we had a returner who was a real threat to score.


Pee Wee Smith is the last I can remember

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Wow. Show a replay! Game saving call

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Calgary receiver was offside big time there

[kmart]

Honestly when are we getting a taunting penalty. This is ridiculous

[Frank MetaMusil]

Unsportsmanlike has to be called there. Refs let it go, as usual. Edmonton is dbagging it up.

Game over

[powderjunkie]

How does Tate get a penalty and the Eskimoes skate for a worse offence 2 plays in a row?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Refs saved a TD by Edmonton. That's a fumble.

Refs have called it pretty even all things considered...

[OzSome]

Where is the taunting call?

When the Eskimos is taunting, ref ignores it. Frustrating the way defense collapsed a few times and absolutely more frustrating to see the Eskimos get away with a lot of crap and not being called for. Now an INT TD. I am ticked off.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Holy, the refs are letting this game get out of control.

[troutman]

I don't know why refs blow down fumble plays - let the play go to conclusion, because the fumble could be challenged.

[dirk diggler]

these refs are beyond a joke

[socalwingfan]

That one ref looks like he's 18

[GirlySports]

do they have intent to blow in the cfl?

[kmart]

30 minute call. Brutal

[M*A*S*H 4077]

This is ridiculous. This should be a TD.

[CalgaryFan1988]

do they have intent to blow in the cfl?

I'm not sure if it's intent, but the CFL does blow.

[powderjunkie]

What an embarrassing league.

[Sainters7]

God I hate Edmonton's D, so ridiculously cocky like their cocky coach. How the refs keep letting them get in the Stamps face after every play is nuts. They're gonna start a brawl

Terrible ruling.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Wow, more incompetence. Suitor is beside himself.

[OzSome]

Wow, what the fck is that? They reviewed it and said the whistle was blown dead but Edmonton can challenge the call. Huh?

[GirlySports]

so it's a fumble but because the whistle blew edmonton can't advance it.

CFL's weird

[M*A*S*H 4077]

How is this not a touchdown? Randomly blow the play dead?

This is the stuff that makes me mad about refs, when they completely make something up. Phantom illegal contact penalty on the pick 6, no TD there. Holy smokes.

[dirk diggler]

the CFL has been show more than any other time to be a complete embarrasement

[powderjunkie]

I think they actually got it right (eventually). The issue was around when the whistle happened; would be nice if they showed the replay with sound more than once.

[#22]

Just to go back to that Tate penalty. Assuming he was mad about the contact on the kicker. What is the rule on that? I thought if you don't get to the ball, you can't touch the kicker. Is it different on a field goal? Or just another blown call in Edmonton's favour

[Armchair Quarterback]

Wow, more incompetence. Suitor is beside himself.

Suitor's angry that his Riders weren't anywhere near this game, except for Messam.

[OzSome]

That's the ball game!!! DBs seems to be having some problem stopping Reilly all season.

[#22]

What an awful game.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Stampeders getting rolled. Eskimos taking it to them.

Sucks for Hufnagel to go out this way

[RougeUnderoos]

The game sucks, but all that effing dancing is the WORST.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Man what a way to finish out such a great season. Really sad.

[OzSome]

I hate to make excuses but the injury troubles with the OLine finally caught up to them. It affected both their offense and defense. Since they have to have 3 International OLine, they have to make an adjustments on the ratio for both offense and defense. I absolutely freaking hate losing to any team from Edmonton and especially seeing that smog Chris Jones smile.
GO REDBLACKS!!! I hope Burris plays lights out in Grey Cup against the evil Eskimos.

Self-fulfilling prophecy, my friend. Those injuries mean nothing when you have two scoring chances with only 3 yards to go, and you pass rather than running. They should have believed in our O-line. Our boys could have done it and we could still be in this game. Instead, it is a drubbing.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

That was an insane throw. 60+ in the air!

[Weitz]

They got it right. Same rules as NFL. That why people always pick up the ball after the whistle. Just in case it ends up being a fumble.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Right, based on the whistle being blown they got it right. But that was a pretty clear fumble and there shouldn't have been a whistle. That's my beef

[dash_pinched]

Congrats to the Eskimos, but Dave Dickinson wears the goat horns. First and goal form the 3 yard line and you call two passing plays. That was the ball game right there.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Haha, Chris Jones freaking out.

[3rd liner]

66 yd bomb has jones having a hissyfit. love it. Typical edmonton class in the third there... ahead by a couple touchdowns and six dbag defencemen in messem's face.

[Mony]

I'll eat crow if the Stamps somehow miraculously are able to tie this up but...

congratulations to the Esks. I hate how cocky they are but we had their number for years and they are simply the much better team tonight and for the past 3 games against us or so. Mike Reilly deserves to be in the Grey Cup final.

Also, go Red Blacks!

[Frequitude]

Another bad 2nd down offside acceptance imo. Decline that and make it 3rd down.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Eskimos letting the Stamps hang around

[3rd liner]

Chris Jones' turtleneck suddenly looks a little tighter.....

[meh]

And we have him taking over as Head Coach to look forward to!

That's not how that procedure penalty works. There was no play.

[3rd liner]

There's bad hair that's so bad it's good.... then there's #36 on the eskimos hair. Gross. Hate him.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Procedure on the TD, right tackle moved...

I hate the roughing the passer rule

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Game on!

Facemask on the returner

[GirlySports]

why does the clock run for a 2 point convert? that's insane!

[Roof-Daddy]

This team is almost always such a huge disappointment in the big game.

So many good teams strung together over the last 25 years, yet can never string together championships.

Just terrible, but hey at least we're not Winnipeg I guess?

Love to see Chris Jones so stressed out.

If they had run the ball for 2 TD's instead of settling for field goals, they would be executing the potential game winning drive right now.

The play calling has absolutely made a negative impact this game.

[darockwilder]

Unintentional? Give me a ####ing break. Sherritt is dirty

[Armchair Quarterback]

Should be a penalty on Sheritt there.
