CALGARY – The Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions both sought more traction in the CFL's West Division heading into the second half of their seasons.<\/p>\n
CALGARY \u2013 The Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions both sought more traction in the CFL\u2019s West Division heading into the second half of their seasons.<\/p>\n
The Stampeders (4-5) and Lions (3-5) clash Thursday at McMahon Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Calgary aimed to gain ground on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (4-4) sitting in third in the division, while B.C. wanted out of the division cellar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been inconsistent throughout the first half of the season and haven\u2019t really played three-phase football yet,\u201d said Lions head coach Buck Pierce. \u201cThose are the things we need to improve on, but I think each phase has taken steps.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a 2-1 road swing, including last week\u2019s 33-30 loss to the Toronto Argonauts, the Stampeders play the first of three straight games at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to beat the B.C. Lions in order to get to where we need to get to and start protecting our house,\u201d Stampeders head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson said Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe only have one win here at McMahon. We need to start winning at home and making sure that teams that come in here leave with a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
