Stamps lost the same way they lost every other game this year - poor discipline, mediocre special teams, insufficient d-line pressure, out-coached. Turning over half the starters on the defence (again) didn't help either.

Riders were the better team, and more importantly, the better-coached team, which is pretty sad considering Grampa is in charge. How is it that the Stamps can KNOW that the pass is going to Fantuz, and the Riders still make the play? Yet we can't impose our will on them by getting the ball to Copeland when we need an important first down? The coaches seem to think it's all execution, and not their play-calling, but when it's the fourth game against the same team and you still let them run their bread'n'butter plays at will, you have to start looking a little further than just saying the players "suck".
