Calgary Stampeders Game Thread

This is so embarassing!! Has any team ever blown 15 point lead with 8 minutes to go in a CFL game before. DUMB, IDIOTIC coaching decisions. Hey Matt, if you and Jenkins aren't on the same page, then fire his ass and get an offensive coordinater who is on the same page. Barring that, fire yourself!!

Oh yeah. Actually 15 points in the CFL with 8 minutes to go is nothing. Lots of comebacks like that have happened.

But its how it happened. 99% of football coaches would have simply killed the clock with under a minute to go by running the ball. Its the pure stubborness of their refusal to run the ball even in a situation like that, that makes this so hard to swallow. Man. So very dumb.

Its not blowing 15 points...its also how they blew it.
It should have been 28-7 at half.
Should've had atleast a FG at the end of the first.
3rd and 27 from the 35....leaves the guy open right up the middle...easy TD
then Jones's play...then, letting Ronic run a 35 yrd play when he should have been stopped 7 yds...after Ottawa does everything, and I mean everything, to lose the game...penalites, accepting penalties, handing Stamps points, getting kicks blocked, not gaining (were -42 at the time) any yards on any plays until 7 mins to go in the 2ND QUARTER...
etc
etc

Jenkins and his fake yellow hair should be on the first bus back to the States.

Wow, I wasn't able to watch the game tonight due to an 'important' slo-pitch game tonight. Glad I didn't or I would've broken something. Unreal. Someone needs to run Jenkins out of town - I'm thinking the sports media in town can do the job (see Fateri last year). I still have faith in Dunnigan (need to keep him around for continuity), but jeez, no run to run down the clock is f'n bs.

Fortunately, I was out with the lady watching something good, so I'm not as p*ssed off as I would have been had I watched this crap.
I've been trying to support Jenkins' system; I felt that with a decent QB, he'd be able to open up the run.
But seeing as how we;re WINNING IN THE FINAL FREAKING MINUTE and neither of our FBs are touching the ball, fire Jenkins' ass now!!
Even worse is Dunigan is taking a bullet for that moron, which means that we're going to have to live with an Offence that couldn't beat the worst HS team in Calgary.
This is complete crap; this team is WORSE than the Ti-Cats of last year, and (other than Crandell) it's not the players! God damn Jenkins can go to hell, god a 10 year old who follows football would know what to do with 50 seconds left!!!
Screw this sh*t, if Jenkins stays on, I'm no longer buying season's tickets. If I want to watch crap like this, I'll buy my WWE and circus tickets when they're in town. God knows that would still be cheaper! :angry:

Just remember that Dunigan is the head coach and tells the OC what to do. Not the other way around. Still, Jenkins is still a moron and the loss squarely rests on his shoulders.
