[Jason14h]

That first ot toss was a TD and we dropped it. How can anyone be mad at Bo for that?

Oh is that all. I'd trade all those amazing regular season games for even a half assed Grey Cup game performance.

Except Ottawa only had to play two playoff games because of their regular season, so....

And they beat an Eskimos team that won six of their last seven and then beat us. They may have been 8-9-1, but they earned this title.

Haha. After Sinopoli interview can hear "did you ask him about the onside kick?" "No". Duh. What a dick thing to ask about.

Worst case scenario on second down -- Messam gets stopped a yard short of the end zone. Then you give it right back to him and let him win you the Grey Cup.

Instead, you're left with 3rd and goal from the three -- hard not to kick the FG to tie.

Yet another play-off choke job for the Stamps. That's what happens when you don't show up until the final 20min

[OzSome]

Disappointed that we lost tonight. We got two chances to win the game but couldn't. Actually make it 3. Messam getting stopped on 3 yards line. Then Buckley getting tripped at the last second. Kamar Jorden missing that touchdown pass in OT.

Henry Burris played a heck of a game tonight. Their defense played well. Bothh teams deserves the win.

We should hang that banner at McMahon "most dominant team - 2016"

[Thunderball]

Man is it ever hard to be a Calgary sports fan right now. The Stamps are first class chokers, and the Flames are a borderline lottery team.

[Roof-Daddy]

Heartbreaking that they came all the way back and were two yards away from taking the lead and couldn't punch it in.

They had it! Even after all the terrible football they'd played they gutted it out and came back and had it and couldn't punch it in from the TWO!

I'm so ####ing sick of my useless sports teams.

I waste so much time and energy on this crap and get endless heartbreak and bitter disappointment over and over again. I wish I'd grown up oblivious to this crap. Even when my team is the odds on favourite they can't get the job done when they should.

I have to say, you are one of the most negative fans I've seen. I don't think you would have even been happy if the Stamps blew them out, you would probably still find stuff to be negative about.

[troutman]

Not a choke in my mind the way they fought back. Still this franchise should have more trophies. Flames too.

[sarge]

Hank Burris............a legend in his own mind, and he can eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.........

[Dion]

Proud of the way our team came back in the second hand an especialy in the last few minutes. Stamps don't quit and fought hard to the better end.

Their regular season sucked they had no business having a bye

Stfu.

God I hope you're not a rider fan.

[LockedOut]

Wow. That's a pretty crap trophy for MVP of the game.

Yep. This one will haunt me for awhile.

They won their division. And they beat us. Deal with it.

Sure. But those two things were mutually exclusive.
At least Buckley didn't chuck one up there into coverage; as a Seahawks fan that would've been too much of a flashback combined with the Messam/Lynch thing.

Hope its over a decade until they have a game at that stadium again. With grass only on the soccer field area, leaving 35 yards in two different sections as a totally different surface from the other, tickets as a throw in with a pizza, just a pathetic situation.
