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!!

Disagree with those three.  He really has to step into his throws to get anything on them, and good luck having room to do that consistently.  Compare his throws to Willy's last night, Willy made a bu

No matter how badly BLM plays the Stamps just won't play Tate. They have an experienced qb like that in the bullpen & he sits. One thing I can say about Tate that may have changed is his head space. I THINK... but don't know... but I get the sense that he's matured. If he came into a game he wouldn't be a crazy man anymore.

I've said from day one I would take Tate if available. He's probably the best second string QB in the league right now. Ask Sask and us about that importance.

there is some chatter over on Riderfans.com that Cory Chamberland will be given the boot today. Will be interesting to see what happens!

It was on TSN last night.  Dunigan and Milt are saying it's a done deal.

Joe Fuller: one rush, minus forty yards.

 

yeah what the hell was that about?  All the Stamps had to do was down the ball and run out the clock, and instead they do this weird back pass thing - what would have happened if Fuller had missed the ball and it had bounced around in the end zone?  Montreal could have jumped on it and scored a TD.  I don't get it.

There was still time on the clock even if they downed the ball.   In all seriousness, that was the best play available to do.  If they punt it, Logan could have taken it back...again.

Yeah, it was third down and there were more than 10 seconds left in the game when they put the ball into play. If they'd just downed the ball the clock would've stopped on change of possession and Montreal would've had a play or two on O. And it'd be tough to burn ten seconds just running around in the backfield, never mind the injury risk to BLM. So it was funny-looking but I can't think of a better thing for them to have done.

Weirdly, the CFL stats for the game don't include that play.

hufnagel picked montreal to cover the spread on his sport select ticket so he needed to concede the safety to win

That one seems to make the most sense.

Interesting to compare Cato to our #2 quarterback- or Edmonton's for example.

that's not fair. Cato was 4th string. Please compare him to our 4th string for a fair assessment

The thing I don't get is how Cato leapfrogged Bridge. Higgins cut Cato and kept Bridge but suddenly it was Cato starting. Cato must have had a heck of a great practice that week...

Bridge didn't look good at all. Not capable of being a starting CFL qb. I guess Higgins felt it was better to bring Cato back. He sure made the right choice.

Oh, definitely. I just wonder how Bridge beat out Cato in the first place.

Nope don't buy it.No way Higgins risks a loss over a publicity ploy.What I read is they were neck and neck after that one week but Higgins had a gut feeling that Cato was the one to try.Maybe not as familiar with Canadian football it took Cato a little longer than Bridges to come around?

Yeah you're right Montreal never puts guys on the roster for the publicity.
