If it was about pride the team would have shown up for the first half, hell there were some games this season which to be honest with you I didn't see any pride from the team whatsoever. They played a poor first half, and it shouldn't come down to a ref missing a call and blaiming it on that. Sure there was a missed call, but the Stamps put themselves in a position where a missed call could be important, and refs are not able to see anything (I know when I was refing I wouldn't see things). If the goal is to get instant replay, I think that already is going to happen, but I don't see any real point to bitching about a game that doesn't matter.

I keep people make this argument and still just as useless as the first time I read it.
The Calgary Stampeders scored 23 points. The B.C. Lions scored 19 points.
When and how those points came on the board has no bearing. Calgary could have scored 23 points in the last 2 minutes and the fact would still remain - Calgary beat B.C.
All this crap about "not putting yourself in that position" is garbage. Every game between the two teams has been down to the wire. Why in this game should Calgary be sporting a huge lead all of a sudden when neither of the other two games were like that? Hell, why doesn't Calgary just score 50 points in the 1st half of every game so there's no chance that we get screwed at the end?
The Stamps lose a major marketing strategy from this "loss". If we beat Winnipeg next Friday you would definitely see a lot of reference to the addition of Khari and the 3-0 record. 2 out of 3 ain't bad probably isn't going to cut it for a marketing strategy.
