Improved Calgary Stampeders Return to Playoffs, Stall in Division Semifinal
Calgary improved to an 11-7 record but lost their fifth West division semifinal since 2018, hindered by key injuries and missed scoring chances, coach said.
- On Saturday, the Calgary Stampeders lost the West division semifinal 33-30 in Vancouver, ending their playoff run after upgrades but another postseason shortfall.
- Vernon Adams Jr.'s offseason arrival helped Calgary's turnaround despite losing receiver Reggie Begelton in Week 2 and defensive lineman Folarin Orimolade in Week 14.
- After failed deep throws to Tevin Jones and Dominique Rhymes, Vernon Adams Jr. settled for a field goal, then Sean Whyte hit a 43-yard game-winner as time expired.
- Free agency decisions loom for several starters including Jacob Roberts, Clarence Hicks, Jaylon Hutchings and Dedrick Mills, who said he was unsatisfied with the playoff result, while Vernon Adams Jr. said, `This one stings, man, it hurts, but I'm really proud of the guys.`
- Dave Dickenson says hosting the Grey Cup in 2026 and weight room, food and turf changes should boost recruitment after a 7-3 start before Labour Day.
