In one of the most dramatic finishes in Canadian Football League history, the Calgary Stampeders defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders Sunday night in the western division semi-final at McMahon Stadium 36-30.
Trailing 29-23 with a minute and a second left, the Roughriders moved ahead on a 24 yard pass from Darian Durant to former Edmonton Eskimo Greg Carr which put Saskatchewan up 30-29.
But the Stampeders weren’t done. With only 39 seconds left, Drew Tate found Romby Bryant wide open down the sideline for a 68 yard touchdown pass to put Calgary up 35-30. (Tate had an unsuccessful two point conversion).

We now know who will play who in next weekend’s divisional semi-finals of the Canadian Football League.
Last night, Rene Paredes kicked a game winning 44 yard field goal as the Calgary Stampeders defeated the Edmonton Eskimos 30-27. With the loss, the Eskimos will now cross over into the East and play the Toronto Argonauts in the Eastern Division Semi-Final with the winner playing the Montreal Alouettes in the Eastern Final. The Stampeders meanwhile will host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at McMahon Stadium next week, with the winner playing the British Columbia Lions in the Western Final.
The Eskimos played their last outdoor game of the season Friday night. All of their playoff games will be indoors. This could help Matt Nichols, who should be the starting quarterback as the Eskimos go forward. He doesn’t have to worry about the cold weather conditions that November brings. Edmonton was also 2-0 against Toronto this season.

The Calgary Stampeders may have played a nothing game Friday night at McMahon Stadium, but in the process sent the British Columbia Lions a loss with the postseason on the horizon.
According to TSN, Kevin Glenn threw for 173 yards, 104 yards to wide receiver Maurice Price, in a 41-21 romp over the British Columbia Lions.

The Calgary Stampeders are headed to the postseason.
On Saturday, Kevin Glenn threw for two touchdowns and had 286 yards passing in a 32-21 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
With the win, the Stampeders improve to 9-6 and cannot be caught by the 5-10 Hamilton Tiger-Cats, meaning they are guaranteed at least a cross-over into the Eastern Division.
A major reason for the Calgary win was simply turnovers. Winnipeg turned the football over seven times, including four interceptions by quarterback Joey Elliott.

The Calgary Stampeders missed a glorious chance to tie the British Columbia Lions for first place in the Canadian Football League’s Western Division on Saturday night in Vancouver.
Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips recorded a key interception late in the game as the Lions defeated the Stampeders 27-22.
The Stampeder turnover stopped a promising drive where Calgary was trying to take the lead. With the loss Calgary dropped to 8-6, while the Lions improved to 10-4.

The Calgary Stampeders are back at the .500 mark in the CFL’s western division.
Thursday night at McMahon Stadium, wide receiver Nik Lewis had the hat trick, as he caught three touchdown passes as the Stampeders rallied for a 41-38 overtime win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Lewis caught seven passes for 98 yards.
The Stampeders were once down 35-18 in the fourth quarter, but turned things around thanks to a touchdown pass from Kevin Glenn to Lewis followed by an immediate interception by Malik Jackson which set up another touchdown to Larry Taylor.
Then down by only a field goal, Rene Paredes tied the game on the final play of regulation.
The Stampeders had great defense in overtime as they sacked Darian Durant, and forced the Roughriders to kick long field goal in their possession. The Stampeders meanwhile got a touchdown pass from Glenn to Lewis that won Calgary the game.
The Stampeders improve to 2-2 while the Roughriders drop to 3-1.
For Calgary to compete for first in the west, they will need to be better disciplined. They took too many penalties. Offensive lineman Dimitri Tsoumpas was ejected for hitting a Roughrider in the face.
The Stampeders grade this week is a B+ (an A on offence, and a C+ on defense).

With the victories for the Calgary Stampeders and British Columbia Lions on Saturday, we now know the final standings and playoff matchups for the 2011 Canadian Football League season.
The Edmonton Eskimos will host the Calgary Stampeders in next weekend’s Western Semi-Final with the winner travelling to Vancouver to play the British Columbia Lions in the Western Final.
In the East, the Montreal Alouettes will host the Hamilton Tier-Cats in next weekend’s Eastern Semi-Final, with the winner travelling to Manitoba to play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Eastern Final.
The Stampeders defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 30-24 yesterday at McMahon Stadium. Drew Tate won his third consecutive start by throwing 207 yards. The Stampeders got off to a quick 17-0 first quarter lead aided by a Brandon Smith fumble recovery and a blocked field goal.
Calgary then went up 24-0 on a Henry Burris touchdown run before the wheels started to come off. Winnipeg would score 17 unanswered points to pull within a touchdown.
In the second half, Rene Paredes connected with a 44 yard field goal in the third quarter, before Alex Brink pulled the Blue Bombers within a field goal on a two yard touchdown run. The Stampeders responded with a field goal before stopping the Blue Bombers on their final possession.
It wasn’t a complete effort by Calgary, but at the end of the day, they got the job done. My Stamps’ grade this week is a B+.
Meanwhile in Vancouver last night, the Alouettes played the worst game I have ever seen them play, in falling 43-1 to the Lions.

Friday night at McMahon Stadium the Drew Tate era started in Calgary.
The new Stampeders pivot didn’t disappoint leading Calgary to a 25-13 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders to improve to 9-7 on the season.
But when you have the opportunity to analyze the numbers a little further, there are some serious questions that remain.
First, Tate did throw for 251 yards and led his team to victory, but he did throw two interceptions, one to Nick Graham and the other to Mike McCullough. On each Roughrider interception there was literally no Stampeder in the vicinity whatsoever. Communication with the receivers may take some time, but I feel Tate needs to have more consistent reads.
Second, only three weeks ago Henry Burris helped lead the Stampeders to a 40-3 win over the same Roughriders. In that game Burris completed 15 of 19 passes and was completely in control. I will need to see Tate perform against a playoff bound team for a full 60 minutes before I give my overall assessment.
Thirdly, was it me or did TSN’s Rod Black go completely over the top in praising Tate? He beat the Roughriders. If he goes in next week and wins in Montreal, then it will be time to praise.
The defense was steady and recovered a key Darian Durant fumble in the second half. While Rene Paredes rebounded with a key 37 yard field goal right before the half after missing a field goal earlier in the game. My grade this week is a B.

Toronto Argonauts (H. Michael Miley, Wikimedia Commons)
The Calgary Stampeders can only blame themselves in a 31-29 loss to Toronto on Friday night at the Rogers Centre.
First half interceptions and second half penalties were solely to blame for Calgary’s loss. And another interesting development occurred on Friday night– a possible quarterback controversy. Henry Burris was clearly outplayed tonight by backup Drew Tate.
Burris was pulled in the second quarter after only going six for eleven for 65 yards, with two sacks and two interceptions. Tate meanwhile, went 19 for 28 for 263 yards and two touchdowns.
The Stampeders were in fact down 28-9 at half time, and clawed their way back in the second half, and remarkably took the 29-28 lead on a 24 yard field goal by Rene Paredes.
Then on the final drive of the football game, three key penalties– including two illegal contact penalties by defensive back Brandon Smith and an unnecessary roughness penalty by Juwan Simpson, put the Argonauts in an excellent position to get a game winning chip shot field goal by Noel Prefontaine, who did not disappoint.

The Calgary Stampeders simply made more big plays than the Edmonton Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday night.
That is why the Stampeders won the game 30-20 and moved back into first place in the Canadian Football League’s Western Division.
On the final play of the first half, Henry Burris recorded his longest pass of the season, a 62 yard hail mary throw for a touchdown to wide receiver Nik Lewis that put the Stampeders up 17-6.
Then on an unsuccessful field goal attempt by Derek Schiavone, Stampeders’ kick returner Larry Taylor ran out of the end zone and ran 52 yards. It didn’t lead to any Stampeders points on the drive, but gave Calgary significantly better field position.
Then, with the Eskimos closing in on a two-point converted touchdown, trailing 17-9, Jon Cornish recorded a 38 yard run that led to a Rene Paredes chip shot and a 20-9 lead.

The Calgary Stampeders remain in first place in the CFL Western Division.
Yesterday afternoon at McMahon Stadium, Stampeders’ defensive back Keon Raymond recorded a huge interception, that led to a Henry Burris rushing touchdown with a minute remaining as Calgary defeated the Montreal Alouettes 38-31.
The Stampeders improve to 6-2, while the Alouettes fall to 5-3.
It was a career day for second year Stampeder wide receiver Johnny Forzani. The Calgary native had six catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
It was a monster day for quarterback Henry Burris, who had no issues whatsoever in finding his intended target. Nik Lewis and Kenyon Rambo also went over the 100-yard receiving mark.
It is interesting that the Stampeders are slowly becoming a one-dimensional offense. Once again, the rushing game struggled as Jon Cornish and Joffrey Reynolds only combined for 30 yards.
The Stampeders’ defense also struggled at times on Saturday. Anthony Calvillo had 369 yards himself in the shootout.
The Stampeders grade this week is a B. They receive a B+ on offense, C+ on defense and A on special teams, as Rene Paredes went three for three in field goals.

For the first time in the 2011 Canadian Football League season, the Calgary Stampeders have won at McMahon Stadium.
On Saturday night, the Stampeders defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 32-20, in front of a solid crowd of 29, 307.
A major reason for the Stampeders’ success was that they were able to play turnover free football. Quarterback Henry Burris had zero interceptions in 39 pass attempts, while the running back tandem of Joffrey Reynolds and Jon Cornish had no fumbles on 14 carries.
Actually, the only turnover came late in the game on an Eric Fraser interception. The native of Burnaby, British Columbia and product of Central Michigan recorded his first career interception that sealed a Stampeder victory.

The Calgary Stampeders have moved to 3-2 on the season.
Tonight at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, the Stampeders downed the Saskatchewan Roughriders 22-18. The Roughriders, meanwhile fall to 1-4.
In a defensive battle, the Stampeders did a solid job of containing Roughrider quarterback Darian Durant.
Charleston Hughes and Robert McCune performed admirably with the loss of Juwan Simpson. Hughes had two tackles and two sacks, while McCune had a team high five tackles and a sack.
Stampeders’ quarterback Henry Burris ran and threw the football well on Saturday night. He had 255 yards passing and had 47 yards rushing. It was Burris’ running ability that produced the only Stampeder touchdown.
Another area of improvement for the Stampeders was the kicking game where Rene Paredes went four for five. According to Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald, Paredes went to see a psychologist this week, where he learned some new breathing and visualization exercises. Whatever Dr. Frank Lodato did worked, as Paredes made four of his five field goals.
If there is one area of concern for the Stampeders it is their running game where Joffrey Reynolds and Jon Cornish only combined for 83 yards on 13 carries.
My grade this week for the Stampeders is an A- on defense, A on special teams and B- on offense, with B as my overall grade.

The Calgary Stampeders won their first game of the 2011 Canadian Football League regular season last night by defeating the British Columbia Lions 34-32.
After a defensive struggle in the first half, where the Stampeders clinged to a 7-6 first half lead, the offensive floodgates happened in the third quarter.
Calgary got three of the five touchdowns on the board, highlighted by a 61 yard strike from Henry Burris to Nik Lewis that put Calgary up 28-20.
The game came down to the wire however. With just over a minute remaining, Lions’ quarterback Travis Lulay had a five yard run into the end zone to pull B.C. within two, 34-32 Calgary. After a two point conversion failed, the Stampeders once again had the ball, but Henry Burris’s hand-off to Joffrey Reynolds was botched, allowing Lions’ linebacker Solomon Elimimian to recover the ball on the Lions’ 49 yard line. Then, on the final play of the game, a 55 yard field goal attempt by Paul McCallum was wide.
