For sure. There were a few potential turning point plays that went the Rider's way. Dropped pick 6, phantom PI on 3rd down, Als fumble on the goal line (looked like it was his own RB that clipped the ball too). Anyone of those going the other way and who knows how the game turns out. 

yeah, the Riders were both lucky and good yesterday, but I think they were more lucky.  Montreal oopsies were a 3 TD swing in the game.

still, a pretty entertaining game .. a B or B- on the Grey Cup curve ... and was impressed to see Alexander allllmost gut out a 3-score comeback with one leg.

it's seven months until we get more CFL Dusty so I guess everyone needs to get their fix before the gloom of the offseason wrecks them.

Alexander's hamstring made it nearly impossible to zing the ball accurately and taking off was not an option. That was the difference.

I agree. A healthy QB doesn't throw most of those picks. Philpot was open but he underthrew him.

Alexander wasn't on the field for that game changing fumble.

That should have been a score with nobody around him... He waited FOREVER for that ball.

Als could have survived that if Alexander had been healthy.

If only Montreal had a capable veteran backup. Oh they do. This is collaros and his finger it’s just Alexander and hamstring so where’s the same energy towards Maas as O’Shea? What’s the difference. The actual difference is als had a capable veteran backup. We did not.  Imagine O’Shea played an injured Zach while we had a capable backup like MBT. This site would lose its ****. Maas lost the game by staying with the injured QB.

MBT wasn't healthy either...he'll be having a delayed surgery done.
