All this game really proved is that a collection of Stamp replacement players and backups only need one quarter to beat the Riders handily. Riders are smoke and mirrors, their 9-8 record flatters them quite a bit when you consider that 5 of those wins came against the Bummers and Ottawa. Besides those two teams, they have lost the season series to every single other team in the CFL, including all 3 other eastern teams.
Their "superstar d" has now allowed an amazing 424 points, more than every other team not named the Bummers. Their offence is also near the bottom, as it was even when DD was playing.
This team just isn't very good.
