Hilarious. How about put the balme on the offence from not converting those FGs into TD. How about blaming the D for their sloppy tackling and inability to stop the lowly, jump-ball tossing Durant??

The same defense that let Lulay toss the ball at will against them last week. The same defense that gave up the second most yards in the CFL. The same defense that routinely gave up 30+ points and looked like fools against the Stamps in the 3 previous games.
Yes that is the defense that I am talking about.
They did stop the lowly Durant. The problem is the refs then bailed the Riders out with bogus calls to ensure they got points.

Huge sour grapes for blaming the refs. The grounding call on Burris, the pass didn't cross the LOS and the ball ended up in the 6th row. Since when is it legal to 2-handed shove a receiver to the ground when he doesn't have the ball, and before the pass was thrown? And when you make a big play, and the play is dead, you pick-up the ball and deliberately strut to face the Rider DB and do your gun-show pose, you are putting the case forward to the ref, who was standing 2 ft away, to call a textbook case of taunting. I have seen it called numerous times in past. But no the league/refs were out to get the Stamps. Frickin' hilarious.

The ball did cross the LOS with a receiver in the area. Durant made a similar play that was actually closer to Intentional Grounding with out a call.
That was hardly the only BS PI call in the game and the others were garbage.
The taunting play happens all the time without a call.
Cates clear fumble not being called was a convenient one you left out as there is no defense for that as it was a clear fumble or at worst inconclusive.
