Terry Jones has his column out...

Asked if he was surprised by the Maas decision to go for the field goal, Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson dodged it.

“Decisions are always going to be questioned,” he said. “Every coach has a reason. I’ll let their guys answer that question.”

Eskimos quarterback Reilly dodged it, too.

“I put faith in our coaching staff to make the right decisions. I’d never question that,” he said.

“Me, personally, I’d have liked to go for it,” said receiver Vidal Hazelton. “But I believe in our coaching staff. And whatever call they make, we’re going to run with it.”

“To me, it was a classic,” said Dickenson. “To start they took a very big chunk out of us and looked like they were going to run away with it. Then our players came back and I felt like we were in control. Then all of a sudden it came down to the last play.

“They looked like they had our number. We just said ‘Let’s fight. Let’s make sure we fight.’ I thought we could come back. I think you saw our real team in the last three quarters and it’s a good team.”

There’s no taking away from the Stampeders season or their win. But that call by Jason Maas with third and four on the 13-yard line is going to live on in Edmonton Eskimos history.
