Winnipeg managed to crush Calgary with only 91 passing yards.
Riders started the year with weakest qb combination in the league, but somehow made it work. Chris Jones does things his way. If they get a qb, they will be a force next year.
Calgary going through the motions. Can they turn it on for the playoffs?
Sunderland in Edmonton looking good, courtesy of Ed Hervey. Hervey should be the frontrunner for the job in BC next year.
Riders have made the QB combo work so far but ESKs on fire tonight. Carter playing both sides of the ball was a non factor on OFF with one near miss that might have changed the momentum as he was in behind and Bridge tried to toss it to him versus just lead him and let him run onto it.
The game breaker was the phantom (?) illegal contact upgraded to PI and the ball at the 1 yard line. I say "phantom" as TSN didn't find where the call was.
Hervey is likely a candidate for no GM role in the CFL based on his attitude alone. But Montreal took Kavis so maybe he can work with the ALS.
Not sure if you caught Ed's latest interview on next year where it was a lot about how he got wronged and how in 17 years (most as a player) no one had an issue with him. I agreed that his firing timing was brutal and quite gutless but he's just one of those guys who's all about who wronged him and he just never seems to grasp how he's his own worst enemy.
As a relative of a long time CFL assistant quoted that coach: 'The CFL is just too small a league to rub people the wrong way' and that's Hervey in a nut shell. I don't recall any sadness from the coaching staff or players when Ed got fired.
Any new GM in BC has to be a builder with relationship building skills as part of the role is media. A chip on your shoulder as Hervey always has is an anathema in this BC sports market.
