CALGARY - With their momentum suddenly halted, the Calgary Stampeders are collecting themselves for what will be a tough fight for the West Division over the final third of the regular season.At 10-2, Calgary still tops the CFL and West Division standings. But a 31-15 loss Sunday to the Alouettes in Montreal was a dash of cold water in the face of leagues top team.A week earlier, Calgary had to overcome a 19-point deficit at halftime to beat the Toronto Argonauts.The Stampeders have six games remaining against three division opponents, starting Saturday at home against the B.C. Lions (7-5). The Lions downed the host Stamps 25-24 on Aug. 1 for Calgarys only other loss this season.The Stampeders twice face the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-3) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-6) before the season finale against the Lions.Calgary is two points up on the Roughriders, four on the Edmonton Eskimos and six on the Lions. The Stampeders swept the season series against the Eskimos.This home stretch will determine who gets what in terms of a playoff berth, home playoff games and the bye to the West Division final.This is the best part of the season, running back Jon Cornish said. Over the last few years, Ive sort of realized that nothing really matters except for these last six games.With that in mind, I think this team is really going to prepare for that. Were going to be ready to take on all these opponents because were playing great teams.Cornish, the CFLs most outstanding player in 2013 and leading rusher the last two seasons, will play Saturday after sitting out the game in Montreal.Cornish didnt travel with the team in order to heal undisclosed aches and pains. The 29-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., missed six games in July and August with concussion symptoms.I dont think Ill have to miss any more games, Cornish said. Thats why I took this time, so I would be ready. These teams are going to be ready to play us, so I want to be ready for them.Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell isnt ready to return, which means Drew Tate gets his second straight start of the season. Mitchell sprained his ankle and stretched a ligament in his left leg late in the game versus the Argos.Tate took first-team reps Tuesday, while Mitchell practised lightly wearing a brace on his left leg.Hes progressing at a good tempo, Stampeder coach John Hufnagel said of Mitchell. Probably will not make this game, maybe as a No. 3 guy. Hopefully hell be full-go for the next game.Calgary has built a reputation for winning despite injuries. They were 14-4 last season despite using three different starting quarterbacks.But the Stampeders may have neared the limit of their depth Sunday in Montreal.Not only were the starting quarterback and star running back absent, but leading receiver Marquay McDaniel was on the six-game injured list with a broken bone in his hand from the Toronto game.The Stampeders managed two touchdowns on the ground and less than 300 yards on offence, but it was on the other side of the ball where Calgary was uncharacteristically porous.A team allowing an average of 18 points per game gave up 31. Montreals offence had the ball for almost 38 minutes, while Calgarys time of possession was just over 23.Team sack leader Charleston Hughes (foot), defensive tackle Demonte Bolden (leg) and Hughess backup Ben DAguilar (knee) were also injured in the Toronto game.That trio didnt play in Montreal and they wont Saturday against the Lions. Bolden is on the six-game injured list. Its further decimated a defensive line that was already without starters Micah Johnson (knee) and Corey Mace (foot).Thats no excuse for the way we played, defensive end Shawn Lemon said. It doesnt matter who is out. If youre on this team we believe we can step up. I take it upon myself as well. I didnt play up to my expectations and I wasnt an impact in the last game.Just got to gain momentum back. We took a step back last week so just come out and get back to what we were doing the first 11 weeks of the season.The Stampeders added defensive lineman Caesar Rayford to the practice roster Tuesday. He played seven games and recorded five tackles for the NFLs Dallas Cowboys last season. The six-foot-seven University of Washington product also spent time on the Lions practice roster in 2008.

And, given Seattles makeup and philosophy, the future for the franchise might be brighter than for any other club.Rarely has a team with so many key young players been so formidable. The last such group might have been the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys of the early 1990s, when Dallas had the Triplets: future Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin.Seattle has its own trio of All-Pros, but on defence: cornerback Richard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner. All are 26 or younger.Theyre complemented by young talent all over the lineup, from Kam Chancellor (26) in the secondary to linebacker K.J. Wright (25) to offensive leaders quarterback Russell Wilson (26), receivers Doug Baldwin (26) and Jermaine Kearse (25 next week), tight end Luke Willson (25) and a bunch of twenty-somethings on the line.All of them already have experienced the ultimate success on the field, and if they can beat New England for a second straight championship, the D word frequently will be thrown around.For us to win the Super Bowl back-to-back years, we definitely could be a team thats talked about as a dynasty, Wright says. Im glad that the core players of this team are still together. The more we continue to stay around here, the more championships well win.Very possibly.But its not just the talent coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have collected, and how quickly Seattle locked up key personnel with contracts; only Wilson and Wagner need to be re-signed among the elite players.Its the culture the Seahawks have developed.Unlike the Patriots, who emulate the approach of their reveal-nothing coach and front office, the Seahawks are free-wheeling. It some ways, they resemble a college team, which makes perfect sense: Before turning around the Seahawks, Carroll won two national titles at Southern Cal.While the methods of Bill Belichick clearly work in New England — no franchise has been more successful overall in the last 15 years — the Patriots last won a championship a decade ago. Although Tom Brady says he hopes to quarterback the team well into his 40s (hes 37), the current roster doesnt strike fear for the future the way Seattles might.Thats true even if the Patriots win Sunday in a dead-even game: The betting line is pick-em.ddddddddddddhere are a number of kind of tenets you know, but developing a really competitive roster, keeping it young, always trying to upgrade, Carroll says of the program hes installed in Seattle since arriving in 2010. That mentality is really pervading. It shows up everywhere. The style of play that we want, that we agreed to, about being a physical team and running the football and playing defence on teams. And with that thought, those are all just kind of the tenets that weve built it on and weve tried to remain uncommonly consistent in that commitment. I think thats at the core of everything.The Nolls and Landrys and, yes, Belichicks might scoff at the openness. But in the Gen X NFL, letting players be themselves, as Sherman says, could be the way to go.In a copycat league, if the Seahawks come through Sunday, whos to say Seattles approach wont be emulated? Lots of the Seahawks think so, even hope so.With championships in the bank and money to spend under the salary cap, the Pacific Northwest becomes an even more attractive landing spot. And that will be true even if — as expected — some of Carrolls assistants leave for promotions elsewhere this off-season.I know that the guys that are here really want to be here, and want to have the style of coaching, says centre Max Unger, a six-year veteran. I think that it really just focuses on what you do well and highlighting that within your position. Its just a positive mindset.And then theres the ultimate attraction: winning rings.Man, thats why I stayed because of being able to play in these types of games and just a chance to play on this team, says defensive end Michael Bennett, who left Tampa after four seasons, won a championship last year on a one-season deal, and then re-signed with the Seahawks. I mean, this team is full of energy, full of superstars, full of everybody who wants to be successful.I mean, money cant put a price on winning. I know a lot of guys who have made a lot of money and they are still upset that they cant be in this spotlight. Pro Bowls are one thing, MVP is one thing, but Super Bowl is a whole other atmosphere. When you win a Super Bowl, you get so much notoriety and you get the chance to really be on a great team. Money just cant put a price on that.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
