I don't think people understand how important the offensive line is. It ain't sexy but they are the guys that win you games.

Precisely.

QB might be the most important position on a team, but nothing comes close to the O-Line being good in terms of having a chance to win. If you aint got one, you aint winning. I think it was a remarkable coaching job by Huf, Dickenson and Delmonaco to get done what they did this season.

The O-Line that started last years Grey Cup were the best group in the league in a few years. They lost guys because of it. This years group were just a bunch of guys who tried their damndest to come together and make something happen.

It was never ever likely they could be better than Edmonton in the trenches yesterday and they weren't. But it wasn't a "choke" job or a lack of effort and to portray it that way is patently unfair and entirely wrong IMO.

If you are at the opponent's three yard line TWICE in the same game and never call a run play in 6 tries, you don't deserve to win.

Seattle's play calling cost them a second Superbowl.

A caller on QR 77 after the game ripped in to Parker. It was harsh, and the hosts let him go with it.

I didn't hear the interview, but Parker is a complete disappointment. This guy just doesn't get it. Hasn't improved in the least in 5 years, and cannot be relied upon for anything. The least reliable receiver the Stamps have bar none. It's time for him to move on, but as is the case in the CFL, because of his passport, he'll be here forever. Another Jabari Arthur, without the NFL pedigree.

Having that TD taken away because Parker hangs the ball out there instead of bringing it in and then not being strong enough to win the resulting hand battle, sums up his 5 year CFL career perfectly. All flash, no substance. This isn't the CIS.
