Tough conditions:  cold, frozen field, blowing cold.......
Buckley telegraphs a Persian like toss on out route......
....Alexander the Great steps in front....makes the pick.....for 55 yd TD.
LeFevour not looking comfortable in the pocket.......
Stamps going for 3rd and 1.....but Buckley runs it sideways again....
.....loses yardage and turns it over....
Dressler hung out to dry by the Fever....and gets pounded.....
Bomber run D looking pretty good, and popping Messam.....
Terrible snap by Goossen, loses the Blue 30 yards.....
Both backups on O....not looking real good.....
Buckley scrambles and hits wide open R for long TD....
....but it is called back for holding.....
Blue D-Line really bringing the pressure... with base rush package....
Dan does not look like the man:  late throws with nothing on them.
Harris catches his 103rd pass.....new CFL record for running backs......
Medlock lines up for tough 52 yd FG attempt......under these conditions.
.....and bounces it in off the goalpost.    Bombers up 10-0.
Bomber D still getting pressure and the stops......
Couple big runs by Harris gets him over the 1000 mark.......well done!
Medlock short FG makes it 13-zip.....
Messam has ball punched out......Fogg recovers.....sets up Medlock again.
If we had any kind of O.....this one would be over early.....
Dressler takes another short pass and big hit.....
....Lapo sticking with non-existent pass game....for some reason or other.
Stamps keep a drive alive with a nice fake punt......
But Buckley is blindsided by Wild.....Opogo reaches down, picks it up.....
....and rumbles 65 yds, down the sideline for another defensive TD
23-0.  Half time.  Buckley's Mixture looks bad:   and is no good.  
Wild gasses tackle on short pass for big Stamp gain......
...however Poop travels downhill and gets the sack on Stamp 3rd down play.
Bomber DL completely winning the battle of the trenches, in this one.
This Santos Knox kid is a playa.......
Buckley now limping  badly.....like the Stamps O, in general.....
Nevis looking like a wall in China, tonight....
Harris fumbles and Stamps drive down deep......until...
.....Opogo and Jeffcoat meet Buckley deep in the backfield.....
Not sure either of those guys have been blocked all nite.......
Stamps wisely decide to attempt the FG this time....breaks goose egg.
Waiting for Bomber O to actually do something......other than 2 and outs...
Opogo gets another sack .  No off switch on his motor.....
Bomber O still in prevent mode.  DLF is an insult to noodle arms, everywhere.
Hell, you can time those off target passes, with a sundial.......
Stamps finally had enough of Buckley the Black Knight.....and bring in Stanzi at QB.
....who promply throws a pass right to Santos Knox for Stamp turnover no. 6.
Just one good drive on O will wrap this thing up........just one.
Of course, right on que.....  LaFevour rolls out and fumbles the ball away.......
Fortunately the Wizard of Opo, gets ANOTHER sack.....his 3rd......
Very next play.....Jeffcoat tries to catch up with his own sack.....
Stamp O-line is literaly getting eaten alive.
Bomber O goes two and out yet again on a couple of PASS attempts....
......what is with Lapo and the play calling,  in this one?
Stanzi having about the same success as Buckley at the pivot.....
....as he throws a  special delvery right into Fogg's hands......
 Some tough running by Flanders to kill the clock.....
Jeffcoat provides an appropriate finish with yet another sack...
23-5.   7 turnovers and 7 sacks......by the D.
Just as well......Bomber O was pretty bad tonight.....
I will take the 2nd place finish, home playoff game......
.....and all the gin, I can get.....

I guess we can keep Richie Hall now that he miraculously turned into a good coach. :D

Sometimes the cliches are pretty good 

 "coaches coach, and players play"

Calgary starting O line was destroyed. Only one defensive breakdown. good to excellent tackling.

How many people expected a defensive performance like that? not me. 

What a great win.

I agree - but not sold on Richie Hall still - but the DL played their best game of the year. Not sure what happen to the Stamps OL they have been pretty good all year but not last night.

This is still not good enough to save Hall from the gallows.

Funny how a mediocre quarterback can make an OL looks like crap... pat Del Monaco must have had bomber flashbacks

First Calgary offensive play of the game handoff to Messam, attempted run up the middle, Nevis crushed him behind their line. Which continued throughout the game.

How is the quarterback involved in that?

Our D line outplayed their O line.

That kind of D line play....makes the entire pass D, that much better.  DB's can be more aggressive, knowing that the receivers are not going to have all day running their route trees.......

This is so true.  Strange how the Montreal OL has never looked the same since AC left. 

The OC and the QB have so much influence on protections and play calling that put the big boys in the positions to be effective.  Fans go crazy when the QB throws a 5 yard pass as a primary on 2nd and 10, but completely disregard the free rusher who would have killed the QB if he had stuck with his called 7-step drop.  +5 vs -10 - that's an extra 15 yards on the punt.
