DHB on the left side.....completely busted there......

Why the Stamps wanted to use our defensive strategy on that play is a surprise to me.

Another rushing TD against the Shmoes. Oh what if ...

Man Anthony Parker is soft. I’d love to see that drop cost cal

I don't even want to think about how bad Finch & Messam would have made Hurl look

Bowman gonna Bowman.... I actually love seeing his continued dropsies. 

maas should throw his headphones at himself for that decision.

LOL!

idiot.

Maas gave it away.  So bizarre.  Is he high?

Dumbest decision by a coach in long time.

If like they say on tv that Maas might of thought it was a 6 point deficit , maybe he shouldn't be the hc anymore.

That maas decision might have been even worse than o'sheas 61 yarder play call 

what a horrible way to end their season.

What a maroon.

Not might. It isn't even in the same stratosphere of stupid.

What Suitor is saying doesn't make much sense to me.  Either way have to get the ball back and Calgary literally one first down away from running out the clock.  6 or 7 doesn't change anything.

Agreed ! The only thing I can think of is that Maas thought it was a 6 point difference not 7. And if so he needs to step aside if you can not even remember the dang score.

This is the only explanation.  Mind numbingly stupid decision.

Either way they are way short of time.  FG and onside kick would be in the realm of sensible...what happened made no sense.  Even worse they ran a minute off the clock after converting 3rd and 10 when they could have punted and pinned for field position for a final drive.   You make that 3rd and 10, you gambled for it, let your offense finish the job.  If you're going to kick at some point there, you have to punt on 3rd and 10, otherwise you're going endzone or bust.

Dave and I just trading texts wondering what Iso would say if MOS made that call..... The word apoplectic came to mind..

If he admits that he thought its was 6 point deficit then he is a fool
