The Riders have far and away the most amount of man games lost and of course I'm sure you don't know that there is no such thing as an IR in the CFL, where if someone is injured their cap hit comes off the books.
With this many starters hurt the Riders literally would have had a hard time fielding a team without signing a few more free agents.
Yeah lets also put an asterisk there because the best receiver in the league Dominguez was hurt.

Wrong.
Cohon even said that there are measures that teams can take if they have injuries and that the league has/will work with teams to make sure they abide by the SMS.
He stated that injuries were not an excuse.
Prior to the season Tillman admitted that the Riders had huge cap issues and that they were going to be over.
Injuries certainly didn't help but they weren't the reason.
The Riders won the cup good for them and their pathetic fans. There were already a lot of factors that diminished the win for the Riders, this is just another on the already long list.
