to me Mitchell should have been able to knock the argo out of bounds after the fumble. i dont like the Eskimos but if that was Rielly, he would have laid out to hit that guy

So many dropped balls. Just like last week.

They were up 8 points on Toronto's 7 yard line and found a way to lose. For a second year in a row they decided a simple run play was too easy.

Garbage. #### Dickenson.

Looking at the positives.

Amazing regular season Stamps.

Kicked Eskimos butt this year.

Shows just how hard winning is.

Calgary will always love and follow you guys!

Hufnagel should just coach the Grey Cups himself.

That's a tough one tonight. The problem with being a Stamps fan is it's a bad bet. It's been said you stick with your team in the bad years because the highs are worth the lows. In the case of the Cleveland Browns you stick with them because one win overcomes the missery. The Stamps however don't suck. They're supposed to be the best. They are, and have been for years, the best team in the league. To win is not to overcome adversity - it's too accomplish what you're suppose to accomplish. To lose is to blow it. The highs don't overcome the lows. The highs aren't that high because it's a given. The lows are extra low because they blew it.

In a risk reward sense the reward of being a Stamps fan lately isn't worth the risk.

I don't blame DD - that was the right call and it worked until Jorden forgot that once you actually catch the ball, you should hang onto it... he decided to just delay his drop by 4 seconds to hand it right to Toronto.

Garbage player. GTFO Jorden.

Don’t know how guys like Messam and even BLM come back from this twice in a row in the big game. After about game 6 this year it was going to be all about the GC and they had it well in control again with under 4 to play. Makes all the crap from last year hurt exponentially.

This entirely. The Stamps were probably at a 99.99% win percentage and then they fumble and have it returned for a touchdown. If The Argos just recover it right there its probably still 90% they win the game.

No poise and no brains. As for people that are saying Bo might of called those plays, maybe. But a head coach can say to his QB okay I'm calling this one here's what we're doing. QB will say okay coach you got it.

Dickenson has to be a double agent or something.

[browna]

Only coaching issue would be to have calmed BLM down after the big catch. He made a great throw before the catch that was dropped and a good throw before that too.

Thus I bet he felt invincible I am guessing on that last throw. A short throw or Messam run would’ve set up he next pass.

[KipperFaNaTic]

I don't understand all the people saying they're done with the stamps or the CFL after this Stamps collapse. The Stamps didn't intentionally lose to spite us. They wanted to badly win for the city. Shouldn't we stick by our team during the highs and lows?

This loss is on the Stamps, not the league. What the hell does the league have to do with it?

The CFL is a Tier 2 football league with numerous non-sensical rules. In what 'other' football league can a team with a losing record win the championship ? Shall I go on ? My father was on the Calgary Stampeders roster in 1967-68 BTW, my opinion is not swayed.

Somehow our coach is completely unaware of Jorden's propensity for blowing it.

[Erick Estrada]

Time for Dickenson to give up the play calling duties. That's now back to back Grey Cup's where he's messed up in goal to go situations. I have no idea on a 1st and goal why you are throwing a low percentage ball in the flat to the only receiver on the team with less reliable hands than Parker. It didn't help that the Argos had planned for that play and had three defenders all over him immediately. He didn't give it to Messam last year and he commits the same mistake a year later. Hand it off to Messam for two straight plays and if you don't get in the end zone kick the FG and take an 11 point lead and force them to score twice in just over three minutes.

[troutman]

Shouldn't football players back up teammates in case of fumbles like players in baseball back up for overthrows?

No one was behind Jorden there.

Kick a dog enough eventually it won't come back.
