Flags, missed opportunities on offence lead to Stamps first loss of the season against Bombers
They didn’t show they could beat them, though. And the Stampeders didn’t fly across two provinces for moral victories.
It was a game they absolutely could – and possibly should – have won. That only made the loss hurt more. As much as the players may have denied that they were treating Friday’s showdown like a big game, there was an undeniable intensity to the game. “We were part of the self-inflicted wounds, we took our fair share of penalties that cost us,” said Stamps head coach Dave Dickenson. “That’s a tough game, though. Was a great game, back-and-forth. I’m not saying we totally outplayed them, but I felt like we had our chances.”
When the Bombers got close to the Stamps’ endzone, they scored. When the Stamps got deep in Bombers territory, they did not. The Stamps’ next time down the field, Ka’Deem Carey put them on the three-yard-line, but an attempt to have third-string QB Tommie Stevens pass the ball into the endzone didn’t work, and then miscommunication led to Reggie Begelton and Malik Henry colliding on the Stamps’ third-down effort.
