I don't blame Stamps fans for being disappointed.

Don't let clowns like Crawford and Moon cloud that.

I blame the coaching staff. The riders were not unbeatable, but we couldn't beat them. Why? Because the coaching staff kept trying to use the same game plan against them and never seemed to adjust anything all freaking year.

Let's just leave Burris standing in the pocket, never do any roll outs or move the pocket around. He is a mobile QB, get him moving around a bit, use his legs FFS.

....and once again we go to the man to man on defense.

They better figure out something for next year because I can't stand losing those bunch of ######bags.

Montreal better not choke. The thought of the green goobers winning a grey cup in our stadium makes me want to vomit.

[Saint Troy]

Stamps deserved the loss today, Burris' play was pretty awful for a veteran QB. The Stamps were inconsistent all season and never gelled, and ultimately were bested by a team that rose to the occasion time and again.

ive never seen a fan base collectively go from being fans of a team who were lovable losers (with the least successful history of the entire CFL) to acting like pretentious jack asses who have obviously confused the riders with the cowboys. 2 grey cups in nearly 100 years and they act like snobs who's team has a storied history.

That;s the biggest reason why I am not going to the Grey Cup - don't want to put up with the idiot fans from Sask.

Rider fans make soccer hooligans look like upstanding citizens and great fans.

First time they've hosted the West Final in 33 years, LOL!!

Four team division and it takes you 33 years to finish first?


Bahaahaha!

I hope the Als embarrass them.

oh god no kidding. ever go to mcmahon when the riders are in town? its like chelsea coming to play a game against man u. hooliganism at its finest. and the worst is this artificial sense of entitlement. ANY negative story about the riders is like your personally attacking their moms. where did they develop this smug attitude? the ottawa rough riders have a more storied and succesful history and they've folded 3 times in their history

[flames_1987]

meh I'll lay off talking trash about Rider fans after we couldn't even come close to selling out a playoff game against a provincial rival. Say what you want about Rider fans but they always show up.

[vicphoenix13]

Here's a weird stat. Its been 15 years since a CFL team won the Grey Cup on home turf. I think more teams might start deciding not to host the Grey Cup.

My comment was in response to Crawford, TheU, and Moon. I understand the disappointment, but they just absolutely hate Saskatchewan right now.

All and all they really need to make some changes, especially to the defense. They seem to get picked apart easily when it comes to the clutch moments.

[Resolute 14]

Lacked mental preparation today. No idea how that can be allowed to happen in such q game, but all of those penalties killed them, and most were poor decision making.

[DJ_NAV]

I was really hoping the stamps would make it to the final... but they don't deserve it.

[TheU]

I am angry, but I'm more of a Bomber fan than a Stamps fan. I just don't like the riders and the fad that is their football team. Fact is when they were losing for the last 30-40 years they had to be bailed out by other teams, their attendance sucked, and only the hard core cared. Now because they won a cup and have a competitive team each year, it's become a provincial fad, and history is being re written by their fan base as if they're the Green Bay Packers of Canada. Lancaster is a perfect example, he was boo'd off the field in Saskatchewan and treated like garbage since. He dies and suddenly everyone in green is a fan of the "little general" and statues of him are erected... hypocrisy.

Stampeder fans, on the other hand, showed up and bought tickets even during the feteri years.. when the teams OWNER had his SON playing QB. That's fan support. Not tanked up teenagers and 20-somethings drinking at games cuz its the new fad

Please! Stop making the Stampeder fans out to be complete die hards and Roughrider Fans just tanked up teenagers.
Defending grey cup champions, the year your hosting the Grey Cup against arguably your biggest rival and you barely draw over 30 thousand. The days of having 35 thousand plus at Stamps games are long gone.

[TheU]

I'm not suggesting stampeder fans are die hards, and that rider fans are only tanked up teens and 20 somethings. I'm saying stampeder fans have been showing up for decades and rider football is now a fad

I really thought Calgary would win, but credit them for managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for the 5th time against Suckskatchewan this year.

Burris sucked this season, and the defense can't stop the pass on 2nd and 10.

I'd like to see some changes this off-season, there weren't any last off-season and perhaps this group was not hungry enough.

Labinjo was hungry all off season.

Reynolds = check
Burris = not even close.

[I_H8_Crawford]

I think last year was a fluke for Burris.

He went back to same old choke in the big game Burris that we have seen forever

[SOMBRI2]

it's disappointing.

but i find it amusing some of the comments here today, can be applied to the Flames.

different teams, similar lapses at times.
