The Flames surely don't like to make things easy. A single win in the last three games would give the team a bye into the West Division Final. Playing on the other side of the field was shotty BC team that despite an up and down season surprisingly destroyed Calgary three weeks ago.

All this to say the Stamps had plenty of reasons to arrive prepared. They did not.

Final Score: Calgary 34 - Saskatchewan 26

Seems the Stamps took a page out of the Flames handbook coming from behind after a slow start to win a crucial game against a divisional rival.

After completely dropping the ball (no pun intended) twice in the last three games, the consistent Stamps were sought after in this afternoon's game in hostile Mosaic stadium.

Although there are still questions about Calgary's complete game, their second half dominance make the hillbilly chants of 'Henry' look stupid.

The Calgary Stampeders were blown out in a massive way for the second time in three games. What's wrong with this mistake-prone team? I've been a long time believer in Henry Burris, but his inconsistencies are killing this team. Early in the season he was still throwing interceptions, but the team scored enough points to win. Not so anymore. 5 turnovers in the game obliterated any hope Calgary had to even put up a fight.

All facets of the game were off, and since this happened two weeks ago v. BC you have to think this is a preparation issue from coaches down to players. You'd expect better from a John Hufnagel team but wow, no words can describe the poor display of football the Stampeders put in this afternoon. Happy Thanksgiving--not!

What a huge comeback game for the Stamps. After crapping the bed by only posting 3 points (let's not count the last minute touchdown) against BC the week prior, the Stampeders responded to critics with a convincing win over the East division leader Montreal Alouettes. Al Cameron with the game review. I just want to add that I found the reason the offence licked wasn't so much Burris as it was the receivers out trying to make a huge point they're number one. The yards after the catch were huge, and that ultimately gave the Stamps the chance to pull away.

Now they have to do in Montreal next week. Go Stamps!

You didn't think it could get worse following the loss against Saskatchewan last week, but it seems as though the seems are starting to burst. No need to throw anybody under the bus--yet--but wow, you really expected a better effort from the Stampeders.

Sure, their defensive line was overhauled because of injuries, but it wasn't the D who failed to show.

Finally a close battle in the CFL where 75% of the teams are terrible. Tonight in Saskatchewan the Stamps were tested and probably got what they deserved. The Roughriders did one thing other teams haven't against the Stamps--beat up on the defence racking up over 400 yards.

Stamps Thump Hapless Eskimos 36-20

Well, the sad part is the Stampeders didn't score 200 points in 4 games (pretty close mind you). The great news is the record Joffrey Reynolds broke to becomes the all-time leading rusher in Stampeders history. He hit the milestone in the second quarter as his 17-yard rush pushed him past Kelvin Anderson, who ended his career in Calgary with 8,292 yards. Reynolds finished the evening with 145 yards on the ground (only his 3rd 100-yard rushing game this season).

Reynolds joined the Stampeders during the 2004 season and is currently in his sixth full season with the football club. He accomplished the record breaking goal in one season less than Anderson.

Do you know how good the Calgary Stampeders are? The defence didn't surrender offensive points until late in the second half, a field goal, and that was IT for scoring! Offensively they've put up over 156 points in three games using 2 running backs and 3 QBs.

Yes, they are that good.

Again, I'll point out, Milt Stegall and his second week prediction that 'the Calgary Stampederse are an average team' is not only dead wrong, but they shouldn't let the dude back on TV.

The BC Lions may have looked and felt like a team that was better than their 1-6 record would indicate, but after Friday's beating by the Stampeders it's pretty clear, BC is the worst team in the CFL. Apart from some late game heroics that gave BC an extra 14 points, they put up negative yards in the second half. That's how bad the offence is.

The defence is perhaps slightly stronger, but staying on the field all day was too much against a strong Calgary offence.

Man things aren't going well in Edmonton. The brunt of all jokes from Calgary, the city of Edmonton is at a loss for words after their depantsing Sunday versus the league leading Stampeders. You can't even make fun of the Eskimos because the team is just SO bad that you'd feel like it's kind of like kicking a lame puppy.

Nothing for the Eskimos is working and now they may be without starting QB Ricky Ray after he was crunched early in the first quarter. The only interesting thing about the Eskimos is the sporadic attempts at the Bronco formation.
