I don't but that, the Stamps changed their game plan for the second half because they had a massive lead over the Riders.

The defense for the most part went from the man to man to the prevent zone a few minutes into the third, the offense went into clock eating mode which is short underneath stuff and the running game.

The Rider's didn't do anything even great in the second half, the Stamps made the game a lot easier for them, and when the Stamps needed the offense in the fourth quarter it responded and put another touchdown up.

The other thing that worked against the Stamps was they were kicking the crap out of the Riders and the whole two week vacation thing came into play.

If the Rider's go into Toronto next week thinking they've solved their offensive woes the Argo's will kick the crap out of them.

The other thing I noticed watching the game was that whenever they zoomed in on Durant on the sidelines he wasn't talking to Doug Berry, that would be ok if he wasn't throwing picks and fumbling the ball, but the guy is just not showing much leadership out there.
