The notion that he got "robbed" only proves what a homer you are.

Quantity and Quality is more important than just quality here which is why Sandro got the nod over Congi and why it was the right call.
Yeah cause that makes him a good kicker! So what if he kicked more extra points. That just goes to show that the total points scored stat is useless.

Lets not forget who missed the pivotal field goal to let the Riders go 7-0.

It doesn't make him a better kicker but it shows that the Stamps didn't fail to capitalize on drives as you tried to make it out.

They had basically identical kick percentage and Sandro made a lot more kicks than Congi for a better team.

It was a close contest between the two and Sandro likely got the benefit of the doubt because of his quality, quantity and fact that he played on the better team.

It would appear that his kicks did plenty to help the Stamps win and thats why his team easily finished in 1st while the Riders limped to 2nd.

Its a stupid argument to say that he didn't deserve and downright ######ed to attempt to imply that Congi was robbed. 84.6 to 84.4 isn't a difference and making one long kick means squat as well.

Too many people here shape their arguements around to benefit their team. And it's the same old people who do it all the time.

It could have gone either way, I can't believe anyone could have a strong opinion about who the winner must be. Either kicker would have been deserving.

The only place he got beat was in total kicks and points which is a reflection of Stamps inability to finish off drives or Saskatchewan's low scoring games. Quality is far more important that quantity here.

Congi got robbed. But just like last year he'll get the last laugh. No way Deangelis is getting a ring this year.
I think most CFL coaches or GMs would rather take DeAngelis in a heartbeat. He has shown he can be elite for a longer period of time, did it last year and the year before.

Congi doesn't even handle kickoff duties.

See last year (or 2 yrs ago?) when Sandro kicked two 50+ field goals in the last minute and a half to basically win the stamps the game on his own.
