It’s the only thing on the minds of the Stampeders who are still on the hunt for their first victory since Aug. 4.

However, the club finally snapped their four-game losing streak, their longest since 2004,with a 19-19 tie in Saturday’s contest against the CFL-leading Alouettes.

The draw improved their record to 4-8-1.

“Nobody likes to lose, but honestly a tie feels like you lost because you didn’t get over that hump,” explained veteran receiver Reggie Begelton. “It’s bittersweet. It helps in the standings a little bit, but at the end of the day we play to win games, not to tie games, so it’s mixed feelings.

“At this point, we’re just trying to get better as a team as a whole.”

Although it’s not the result Begelton and the rest of the club were striving for, the single point proves pivotal as a Stamps win over the 5-7-1 Roughriders this Friday, and an Edmonton Elks loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday, would push Calgary into third place in the West Division.

In advance of a battle between two teams eager to get back in the win column, Begelton is encouraging his team to focus on what lies directly ahead of them, and not to get too caught up in the rest of the season.

“One game at a time,” said the team leader in targets, receptions, and yards. “We can’t think too much in the future, we just have to worry about this week.

“Then keep stacking W’s and let everything unfold how it’s supposed to unfold.”

The work to keep their 18-season playoff streak alive continues Friday at McMahon Stadium on Fan Appreciation night against the Green and White at 7:30 p.m.
