Sask is pretty easy to game plan against - stop the run. Not one of their QBs is scary if forced to throw the ball. When Edmonton basically sold out to stop the run in the second half, Sask did nothing offensively. Expect the Edmonton D to play the run huge, and the check down dump offs to the running backs. If Reilly isn't playing, expect a low scoring game that will be boring as all hell.
Honestly, as a long time fan of the CFL, I'm really seeing a decline in interest. This has been a very bad year for the CFL and unless something changes, I see a continued decline going forward. Once mid-September hits and hockey season actually starts, interest in this 3rd tier league drops significantly in basically every CFL city except one. Even Hamilton cares more about hockey once it starts up than the CFL. The poor reffing, the blatant disregard of the SMS by one team, the generally poor play, the loss of any actual good player to the NFL... it all leads to a general lack of interest and I see attendance will continue to decline until the CFL is finally put out to pasture.
