Riders go 6 - 0

Another Rider win and more rider injuries. Rider slot back Matt Dominguez left the game half way thru with a knee injury and Rider slot back/ returner Carl Berman also left with an injury.

Luca Congi missed his 1st field goal of the season which would have put the riders up by 4 points with less than 3 min in the game. This would have forced Calgary to score a TD. His miss meant that all Calgary needed was a field goal to win the game.

Calgary got a chance to win the game with 2 seconds left on the clock and a 54 yard field goal attempt. Fortunately for rider fans the kick was wide.

I disagree with only rushing 3 D-Lineman on the play that set up the field goal attempt. Calgary QB Henry Burris had plenty of time to air out his pass to Jeremaine Copeland who catch the ball simutaniously with riders DB James Patrick. If we had rushed 4 defenders and gotten pressure on Burris he would not have had time to make that throw.
