VANCOUVER – The BC Lions sweat out a win over the Calgary Stampeders as they secured a spot in the Western Final for the third time in four seasons.
They sweated blood, bullets and a kidney for that win
Stampeders handed the game to the Lions through game mismanagement. Running the clock out at the end of the first half which denied a field goal opportunity? Throwing two home run balls with less than a minute left in regulation when in field goal range? Why not start with shorter passes or running plays to try to score, at least running the clock down before kicking a tieing field goal. Left too much time on the clock for BC to get within winning field goal range. Not sure if these were QB, offensive coordinator or coaches decisions, but these decisions, or mistakes are incomprehensible. Go Alouettes!
