Wow.  Almost (almost) feel sorry for Calgary. That's twice in a row. The obvious dominate team all year ends their season with another whimper.

 

Some would say they were too cautious last year, which led to the O.T. and loss. This year it seems to be the opposite.

Anyone looking for some quick schadenfreude should head over to CalgaryPuck.

 

Hard to believe a team could win 28 regular season games over two seasons and win as many Grey Cups as the team that won 10 (Montreal). Hell, the team that won 14 games over that span has more Grey Cup wins.

Calgary's last play call made no sense. You're within FG range and down 3. Why not just kick it and tie it up and set it up for OT... gambling for the win this time around :picard: Kudos to the Argos. Nice comeback and congrats!

Maas and Dickenson switched up their last minutes playbooks by mistake.

Hahah wow that fumble may just cost the Stamps the grey cup

This was the real turning point, I felt.

 

The Stamps had they just managed to hold onto the ball probably would have made it a two-possession game. Instead, Jorden tries to be a hero and loses it on first down. They had the game totally in their control and blew it. That pick at the end was the cherry on top.

What a team mate.

Happy to be proven wrong. I didn't expect yet another huge choke by the Stamps, but hey, they've been pretty consistent over the past few years.

 

The fumble was bad, but at least that was a physical mistake. Throwing that deep ball was right up there with Maas last week and Carroll in the Super Bowl 2 years ago....

 If there is a definition of "choke" when it comes to sporting events, this is it.  Leading by 8 points with less than 5 minutes to go, within a few yards of making it a 2 score game, you fumble the ball away and let the other team score a touchdown to tie.   Can't call it anything but a choke.

 

On top of that,  a questionable coaching decision to go for the touchdown and a win instead of a tying field goal certainly backfired.  I suppose the poor field condition is one of the reason they tried for a touchdown instead.   But they made a 39 field goal earlier so the % for a successful field goal is pretty high.

 

Going for a touchdown to win instead of a FG is not unheard of, especially when there is time on the clock.  Many teams do it.  But the play was poorly executed.   The QB should not have thrown in double coverage,
