The Stamps are absolutely clutch at losing games and being terrible in the 4th quarter in the playoffs. Even when they win, it's because they luck into wins.

Well, they allowed two CFL legends retire on top two years in a row. Clutch.

I do not understand how the Stamps went for the endzone there. You're in FG range.

I cannot even imagine how the whole city of Calgary feels right now

If you are an Argo how do you feel good about that win?

You did absolutely nothing no to deserve it at all.

Embarrassing end for a horse rap league.
Thanks Calgary.
Toronto came into the season with zero expectations and leave it with a gray cup thanks to hard work and Calgary.
Just that easy.

Toronto certainly followed the blueprint to win a Grey Cup Ottawa had last year:

Win shaky East Division without a winning record

Be guided by a grizzled old CFL legend of a QB

Profit

Maybe we should stop making fun of the East

Quick, somebody call the whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulence!!! I'm a Cats fan and the Argos are the mortal enemy, and I say unequivocally they absolutely deserved it.

Not really.

I quit watched no the CFL this year and only watched this game because my father in law was over.

But it is pretty see to see the state the pathetic CFL is now when it used to be so great.

You can add, winning the Grey Cup in your provincial rival's stadium.

The Stamps absolutely choked again this season. Its quite clear they need to sort out their ball control issues. Its those that cost them move than Mitchell's game ending pick. That falls on the coach and OC for calling that play.

Meanwhile, the gods smiled on the Argos today, especially with all the abuse they had to endure from the haters in Toronto.

Congrats, Toronto Argonauts.

I don't know, I thought the game was great regardless of who wins. Better than most Super Bowls.

My company is a major sponsor of the stamps so I have met a few of the players at functions. I feel bad for them. 2 years in a row now coming up empty.

Basically, just bet the farm on whoever wins the East next year.

It's pretty much a lock whoever wins the East will win the Grey Cup- if of course they play Calgary

I don't think so it was mainly two and out, two and out, two and out.

The Argos needed a fluke 100 yard catch, a fluke 100 yard fumble return and a safety which they again had nothing to do with to win. Other than that their offense was brutal, not bad but flat out brutal.

I guess it was exciting at the end because it was close but the game was based around terrible plays and decisions by the team that lost not by great plays by the team that won. I think i would prefer to watch a game with great plays.

So, is Ricky Ray basically Henry Burriss 2.0- an old grizzled CFL legend? I know Calvillo/Moon/Flutie are the 3 greatest CFL QB's of all time, but are these guys close?
