Calgary Stampeders Game Thread

Well first nice run back by McGarity, then rookie mistake by Jones on the fumble. THen our D comes up big. And then we RAN the ball, man I'm in shock!

[browna]

Very very very ugly.
If possible, Ottawa's worse. Only 1 play for OTT for positive yards in the GAME, halfway through the 2nd quarter as I write this.
Jones looks worse than Crandell. No running game, and commentator is saying that Dunigan and Jenkins haven't been on the same page all year.

Brilliant.

I say, Jenkins goes if the Stamps don't pick it up in the next 6 games.

Right now 9-0 Stamps
Oh well. Better then nothing on TV.

Just got home a few minutes ago, so I've only seen this drive by Calgary. (going for 4th FG now.)

Jones is doing good I think. Something I noticed tonight as well as last Saturday, is it just me or are the receivers working harder for Jones than they did for Crandell?

[browna]

Useless play at the end of the half...in FG range, Jones throws a bigger rainbow then the Lucky Charm guy's seen....INT, half over.
12-7.

[ken0042]

Time was over anyways; incomplete does the same thing. Rookie mistake.

Anybody else notice Jones is wearing Dunnigan's number? I think it's a good sign.

[JiriHrdina]

15-7 now.

Jones looks good but making some rookie mistakes. Hasn't been able to punch it in to the end zone, but frankly he looks better then Crandell - at least putting together a number of good drives.

What in blue hell is wrong with our long snapper. He hasn't made a decent snap to Hebert all game. Just cost us huge on a blocked punt.

[ken0042]

OK, I missed a few minutes, how does Ottawa have the ball? Didn't we intercept in the end zone?

Also, these new rules to protect the QB are BS in my opinion. QB runs, deeks (sp?), spins, but heaven forbid you touch him 0.2 after he goes down on his own.

Football is a contact sport; leave it that way.

They interecepted it right back.

Play the carnival music.
After a long tedious game, with the Stamps offense doing something, they give Ottawa a TD on a 3rd and 27 from the 40.
With 2 minutes or so to go, Stamps up by 8 Hebert kicks a 70 yd punt into the endzone...idiot special teams players give no yards...negating the single point.
But then the bigger idiot Renegades captain decline the penalty...giving Calgary the single point, so making it two posession game.

Ugly ugly ugly football..Stamps look average, but making too many mistakes.

[JiriHrdina]

A remarkeable end to this game.

Calgary up by 8 points and punting. Punt goes into the end zone. All Calgary has to do is not take a no yards penalty and take the single point and they are up by 9. But they make a bonhead play and commit no yards. So that would negate the single point and give them the ball down by 8. But their onfield captain makes his own bone headed play and declines the penalty. Calgary gets the single point.

Just a sloppy game all around by both teams.

Gades just got a TD - now down by 2.

[JiriHrdina]

OK, this is just DUMB!

We get the ball with under a minute left. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS RUN THE BALL!!!! Jones tries to pass, fumbles and now the Gades can win it.

Horrible horrible decision making by the players and the coaching staff. If we lose this game I hope we finally learn the lesson about the importance of the run.

Just ridiculous.

[Pagal4321]

This is the worst football team I've ever seen. I'm just so frustrated I could break something......I will post about the whoel game later when I calm down a little bit.
J&)$#@ @(*&$#@)!(#(!

[JiriHrdina]

Yup, Ottawa can win it with a 32 yard field goal now.

I can't describe how incensed I am watching this game. I could have coached a better game. Embarassing.

Field goal is good. Unless we get a miracle this is over.

What a joke. A total joke. Unreal.

[Pagal4321]

You know what, this entire team is just that bad becuase of coaching. Pure and simple. This coaching staff is absoltuly a bunch of clowns. I think we could pick 4 people from CP to coach this friggin team better then it is being coached now.
SO MANY OCCASIONS! Why the hell are we blitizing when it's 3rd and 23, why the hell aren't we running on 2nd and inches, TWICE in the red zone.

Why the living hell are we not running with a 1 point lead and 50 seconds to go. These coaches have got to change their style or they have got to get fired. I'm serious, this team has turned into the laughing stock of the CFL. It is just ######ed how dissapointed I am to be a Stamps fan right now.

[O_M_A]

How in god's name can you mess that up?

Worst. Team. EVER.

[Calgary Flames]

Unreal.... I'm starting to really dislike the CFL. The lack of talent spread out across the league is a joke. Unless you're the Montreal Alouettes.

[browna]

Good gracious.

[ken0042]

Well, there goes my $150 Sport Select Ticket.

[browna]

I'll say this..Crandel wouldn't be carrying the ball like a glass vase with under a minute to go like Jones did to get it stripped.

[dirk diggler]

to me this is the lowest point in the history of this team. all you have to do is run 2 plays, then punt it and the game is over. tommy jones decides to carry the ball like a loaf of bread, what is he, stupid. apparently so, this team is so messed up right now, they might not win again. as for Jenkins, maybe you should have a game plan where the team can run 2 plays without screwing up.. its a joke
