The Calgary Stampeders confirmed they've dealt the veteran quarterback Henry Burris, the 2010 league MVP to Hamilton for quarterback Kevin Glenn, offensive lineman Mark Dewit and a conditional draft pick. After Drew Tate, who recently signed a 3 year contract extension, took over first string duties late in the 2011 season, Burris' days were numbered.
Many fans will be happy to see him go, but I'm not among them.

In a move that's certainly going to raise a few eyebrows, both in the apparent lack of communication, and also perhaps indicative to the state of the team behind closed doors, Chris Jones, the highly prized defensive coordinator for the past 3 seasons, signed with the Argos to be their defensive coordinator.
Why Jones would leave for an Argos team that's still stuck in rebuilding mode (the 10th year?) will leak out over the next couple of weeks.

The storybook ending for the likes of Doug Brown, playing perhaps his last game as a Bomber, didn't pan out as he'd like it. On the other side of the ball DE Brent Johnson may have played his last game, and if that's the case he'll go out a Grey Cup winner.
The Bombers lost to the BC Lions 23-34 in a game that never really looked like a contest.

Calgary 19 - Edmonton 33
The Stampeders have nobody to blame but themselves. In a do-or-die game the team brought one of their worse performances of the year. The mistakes were costly and unreflective of a team 19 games into the season. Compounding the problem, in a QB driven league it's imperative that your QB is one of the best players on the field. Calgary's struggle since mid-season for consistency at the QB position continued into the playoffs. Veteran pivot Henry Burris sat for newly crowned starter Drew Tate. The experimentation by head coach John Hufnagel proved to be a detriment to the team's success.

The Calgary Stampeders played their last road game of the regular season and managed to squeak by the Montreal Alouettes who for the first time in recent memory don't sit atop the Eastern Standings. That doesn't mean they're a weak team by any stretch, in fact, this afternoon's performance was a stiff test for QB Drew Tate who was making his 2nd career start next to a man with more than a decade's worth of experience.

Before we start, just a reminder to Roughrider fans you're not making the playoffs. Haha.
Moving on.
Drew Tate made his first CFL start and had a strong 3 quarters to lead the Stamps to victory.

This will be interesting. Veteran backup QB Drew Tate will get his first start of the season as the Stampeders face the Roughriders Friday. Out is Henry Burris, who's season has been up and down at best.
I like the move, especially after Tate took control of the offence mid-way through the Toronto game. What I don't like is the timing. With three games to go, we can expect the Stamps to beat the hapless Riders. That leaves Montreal as the real test for Tate. If he folds against them, that's only one game for Burris to come back (for the coaches to make a decision), in the season finale against Winnipeg.

Drew Tate's Night Spoiled
There's something about crappy CFL teams that gets the best of the Stampeders. They lose big to Hamilton in the Maritimes, and they've lost twice to the worse team in the CFL. Why can such a talented team put up such a crappy show?
Let's break down this game teams....
