    Ticats are still currently in the playoff hunt. When Ray returned from being injured again, what did they have to play for those last couple of games in 2016 ?

    If you say so. Their chances of winning against either Winnipeg or Calgary, let alone both are slimmer than slim. As far as playing Ray goes, again, big difference. We really don't know what Barker and Milanovich had planned. Just because the traded for Willy last year does not necessarily mean he was the guy they would go with in 2017. I don't believe they expected Ray to return due to injury, not because he had fallen out of favour. ZC is benched while healthy. When did that ever happen with Ray?
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Happened a couple of times, in pretty important games when Ray played for Edmonton.

    Are you talking about two playoff games in 2005 when Jason Maas came off the bench? I don't really recall Ray being "benched" otherwise while healthy.

    Ray started and got benched for both playoff games but then started and won Grey Cup MOP. Shows how resilient he can be.

    They really didn't have any other viable options for the final two games of 2016. LeFevour wasn't going to be part of the future and Willy was injured. They still had Kilgore but I guess he had fallen out of favour too.
