I agree with this Sainters - I think the Stamps got hosed by the schedule makers here. I understand that in this league and with trying to get every game on TV, there's going to be weeks where some teams have short breaks. But, at least have them play each other or, don't make a Western team travel out East or vice versa on the short break - to give the Argos 5 days rest and the Stamps 3 while they had to travel is a disadvantage to the Stamps. Just like the schedule hoses the Riders a bit tonite as they play on 4 days rest compared to BCs 6 (although, the Riders don't have to travel).
That said however, the Stamps had an 8 day break last week and got spanked then too. While I think they would've lost a close game due to the short break, they got spanked by an offensively challenged Argos squad. They're awful right now, plain and simple.
