BC was the same thing blaming their communication problem instead of saying the Stamps outplayed them. Wow, no respect!!

A couple of things about this. #1, Absolutely perfect, I love that DD and by extension Saskatchewan has a sense of entitlement about being able to beat a 12-6 team on the road in the playoffs when they rode into the playoffs in craptacular fashion finishing 8-10 despite their hot start. At the end of the day after two sub .500 seasons, it's actually them who has to prove themselves worthy of sucess, not the Stamps. The longer they think of themselves as the favorite, playoff sucess will elude them. #2 BC has always thought of themselves as the most talented team in the league. I recall watching the Grey Cup hoopla coverage in 2008 where they interviewed Cameron Wake and Geroy Simon and the way they were talking made it seem that the eventual winner should have to place an * next to their name in the record book because the championship was not legitimate if they weren't involved. They won in 2011 because after starting 1-6 they had to come to terms with actually having to show up and outplay teams.
