I mean its great that Reilly threw for 300 yards, but they were a pretty inefficient 300 yards and except for a bust they got next to nothing done when they needed it.

I've seen before a few years ago and Reilly was not even a starter yet. Labour Day game in Calgary with Mike Nichols as a starting QB for the Eskimos. Stamps killed them in the first half and the score was lopsided. You thought there is no way Eskimos will come by or even get a chance to win that game. In comes Mike Reilly to replaced Nichols and Eskimos came back in the 2nd half and almost beat the Stamps. The next game Eskimos came up firing with Reilly starting and smoked the Stamps that game. They were so motivated from the get go and caught the Stamps off guard.
