| Extremely disappointed with the management and team of the Calgary Stampeders - the entire SEASON, they played sloppy and lost THEIR chance at the GREY CUP due to tne HIGH number of penalities. The FACTS - 9 PENALITIES in the first half of the Western FINAL - absolutely ridiculous for a PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL CLUB - changes need to be made....the only consistency through the season has been their penalty trophies - way to go Stampeders - VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR STAMPEDER FANS - GET YOUR ACT together for 2010 - CALGARY deserves better and we are paying you good salaries to perform - start performing! | |

| Major let down for the city. Many post-games this year we hear, didn't execute, too many penalties etc .... when were hoping for that to change, today? An absolute year full of excuses made by professional athletes. Face the truth and accept that you could not beat the Riders(and I'm not a Rider fan). Huf promised to clean up the penalties... ok we all know what came of that. Bottom line penalties and inability to execute cost them the chance to the big dance. | |
