    I think 1965 in the third game of the Western Conference Final. I have a pic on my laptop of the Ploen to Ken Nielsen 109 yard TD to win the game but I can't put it up here. Nielsen put a move on Stamps corner Harvey Wylie, deked him out & was wide open. I think that was the last playoff game we won in Calgary until today. 

    I actually looked that up earlier today (last playoff win in Calgary) and I thought I must have missed something as 1965 is such a long time ago. Thanks for confirming my findings. 

  2. Weather update - It looks like Calgary is getting some snow tonight:

    Calgary,AB
    Alerts in Effect    
    Snowfall Warning    
    Issued at 04:30 Saturday 09 November 2019    

    Snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 20 cm is expected.

    A strong cold front will result in heavy snow over parts of southern Alberta this weekend. The most intense snow is expected tonight and through the overnight hours. General accumulations of 10 cm will occur by Sunday morning, however, some areas could see upwards of 20 cm.
    Temperatures are also expected to fall throughout today as the cold front passes.

  3. Lapo has the ability to come out with a great offensive strategy and solid plays after a week of study and prep. When the execution is there, they often get an early lead. However, it's his in-game adjustments and play calls, mainly in the second half, where he falters. He just doesn't seem to be able to counter to what the opposing defence is doing as the game progresses.

    Its a bullshit play but there were garbage/missed calls all game, going both ways. Just sounds like sour grapes at this point. Bighill with another forgettable game. Hey Adam, stop whining about the refs and build a time machine to go and bring back 2018 Adam Bighill. I like him better. 

    Well he did get two sacks and played a key role in shutting down the Als rushing attack. I'm a lot more concerned about why the secondary looked so discombobulated in the fourth quarter.

    When a guy runs for 9 yards and Black says he ran for 5 or 6...or when a player is downed on the 25yd line and Black says he's down at the 15 he is totally crapping the bed re: his job description.

    Was going to say the same. Black still has a few good moments now and then, but yesterday some of his descriptions were cringe-worthy. Not sure why he seems to have so much trouble with the yardage. I rarely notice that with other PBP announcers. A couple weeks back, there was the Edmonton field goal right down main street... but wide. And yesterday Ryan was supposedly angling his punt toward the sideline, yet it was caught smack dab between the hash marks. Maybe an eye exam is in order.

    I know its dumb but i think the league needs to seriously look at the officiating in these games. Blatant holds resulting in big plays not called..the headshot to Remple.. Thats 15 yards and our ball still.. The head ref cheering for Sask.. It was just BS. Did it cost us the game? Well when u lose by 2, yup it sure did.

    Does anyone truly know what a hold is or isnt? It's just so randomly called. 1 team can do it all game with no calls

    In the three decades that I've been watching CFL, I can't think of a single year where I felt the officiating was decent. Often it's been brutal. A lot of fans have just come to accept this, and say that in the end it all balances, out but I'm not so sure of that.
