  • Gawd TSN... Now they're saying that only one team has made the playoffs in CFL history starting the season 0-6. The Lions of 1969. Enough pumping up the Riders tires!!

  • They wanted the publicity of having a Canadian QB on the roster but never thought they would actually have to play their #3.

Paul LaPolice did a nice job of explaining Edmonton's gap cancellation techniques in the Edm-Sask pre game. And he used live bodies...belonging to the Winnipeg Rifles.

And this brings up the question of game planning to offset what Edmonton is doing. We did not have a successful plan, but that could not have been answered anyways, when Brohm was in there.

Sask. had a short week to prepare for Edm. (played Sun.) and while Chapedaine did employ short passes (mostly to Messam out of the backfield, 6-58yds.) and they worked, I'm left to wander how they couldn't use their two powerful running backs N/South, off tackle, or something like that to help their rookie QB. Surely, if any team could run against Edm., it should have been the Riders.

30 passes vs running Messam 3 times and Allen 3 times (QBs had 4 rushes - or rather, panic running)

So, why didn't they run more? Or at least try?

Ego, coaching stubborness & unwilling to admit the plan didn't work. We see it all the time when things go south in a game. All coaches no matter how good or bad go through it.
