Wow, what a crazy ending to the Als-Stamps game. Stamps should have won the game easily because their lines are simply better than the Als. Kevin Glenn looked replaceable at the start, was hot in the 2nd half, and then threw a horrible pick in his own end as the Stamps were trying to run out the clock. This is not something you would expect from somebody with so much experience. On the other hand, Glenn did have some bad picks last year in Hamilton as well.

Why oh why would you even THINK of throwing a pass in that situation???
Running the ball then punting if you were short would have left
Montreal with 60 seconds to try to score.

Really especially on your own 30 yd line.............Hufnagel was furious.

Honestly I think after watching the Als / Cgy game that Anthony Callvio is a closet masochist.

I mean he was beaten on more than a rental car (you knew the Stamps would do everything just this side of legal to exploit his injured state) and he stayed in... Yikes

If the only thing you knew was that the Bombers spotted the Eskimos 35 points before halftime, then you would likely guess the following and would have been correct:

-Pierce knocked out before the end of the 1st quarter.
-Brink knocked out later in the game
-2nd half scuffle resulting in multiple players being ejected.
-Jyles still not looking impressive with his missed passes and 3 turnovers.

At least the Eskimos showed they can score points considering they only scored 1 against Sask. last week.

True but just like the Stamps on Thursday, you could say the Bombers basically handed the Eskimos the game. Personally, I think the jury is still out on whether Jyles will still be the unquestioned #1 qb the rest of this season.

Wow,McCalum misses 2 straight FGs and Sask just ran it back 100+ yds for a TD.

23-13 Riders.

Guess we now know who is the best team in the CFL RIGHT NOW: It's the Rider Nation. Quarterback who is making plays. Almost no 2 & outs. Solid offensive line. Good running back. Receivers who can get open and catch the ball. No turnovers. Solid defense line. Tough to score on. They even jave a return game. Of course there are still 4 months remaining, so we have a long way to go yet.

Riders looked good but Lions lost the game themselves.

6pts blown on missed FGs and then they allow 129 TD runback on one of them.

So much for the Vancouver Press and their 16-0 call.
I knew that was the kiss of death!

Argos missed opportunities were worse than BC's. This is the 2nd week in a row where they allowed a missed field goal for a touchdown. I know they blamed Noel Prefontaine, but they just need faster people on the field goal unit. Maybe somebody speedier than holder Jarious Jackson would not hurt either.

Even though the Argos were down 21-0, I actually believed that they would take the lead at some point in the 2nd half. Maybe they would have if they could have taken better advantage of all the times they were in the red zone.

Defense wins games. Sask were better. Lulay had the better stats but could not finish.
I must say the Roughrider fans are really enthusiastic. They are fun to watch. Although if I lived in Saskatchewan a Football game is like Christmas.

It looks like Drew Tate has elected to take the surgery route on his shoulder. That means he will be gone for the year, which now puts Kevin Glenn as the likely starter for the rest of the season.

Argos looked like they ran out of gas in the 2nd half. Plus with 2 turnovers by Owens, things did not look good even though the score was still close. Luckily for them, the Bombers could not just give the ball to Simpson on every play. While Brink did have a couple big plays, he did end up missing about 13 of his last 14 attempts.

Great game tonight.

At first, it looked like it was going to be a long night for the Stamps. They were committing so many penalties/mental mistakes. By the 4th quarter, they were down by 17 against a Rider team that has played the best ball so far this year in the CFL.

Gotta give Kevin Glenn credit as he took tons of criticism after last week's game. Tonight he had 4 touchdown passes, took hits as he was trying to scramble for the extra yard, and came back after being knocked out to lead his team to an overtime win.
