Power Rankings - that's more like it

More respect given to the Cats by TSN:

Looks reasonable.

I like what Lefko wrote at Sportsnet.ca,

"Played their hearts out and suffered a cruel defeat against Saskatchewan. It was the right defence, just a fluke play that yielded huge yardage. The Tiger-Cats have displayed some grit this year with Jesse Lumsden healthy and mowing over bodies.
Tony Miles is giving quarterback Casey Printers a dependable target. How the Tiger-Cats are able to bounce back from this loss will determine a lot. They have certainly shown some moxy and pluck in the last two games after a terrible opener.
"

That's mostly because Lefko hates the Riders for some reason.

Where do you see any disrespect to the Riders in what Lefko said?

"A fluke play that yielded huge yardage".

I would have put the top 3 at

1 Calgary
2 Montreal
3 Saskatchewan

the rest were fine.

well, ‘fluke’ doesn’t make it sound too good. I’ll give you that.

I think what he means is that it was a play not meant for 60 yards that turned into 60 yards. That’s all.

I don’t think any disrespect was intended.

Of course not.

It’s a fluke because most of the time that play would be a marginal gain.

Full credit to the play and subsequent TD and victory, but I’m sure they were playing a safe ball control strategy to set up a game winning field goal. So yes, there was a degree of luck involved in that a 6 yard pass play in that game situation resulted in a 60 plus yard game winning gain with 30 seconds left.
