    SEMI-FINAL: Saskatchewan at Ottawa Sunday November 12

    These are two fairly evenly matched teams, but with Trevor Harris giving the RedBlacks the edge at QB, I'll pick Ottawa.

    As so often has occurred in the past when people underestimate Kevin Glenn based on his previous performances, he comes up with the unexpected by leading the Riders to a 28-14 lead late in the third quarter while going 15/22 for 229 yards so far.

    Kevin Glenn gets underestimated because he has largely sucked in the playoffs.

    And Harris might be overrated. Yikes!

    Would it be fair to say that Spencer just blew it?

    A couple of early, costly Ottawa turnovers really hurt. I think Ed Gainey distracted Spencer just enough on that play.

    What a brutal, putrid display by that Ottawa defence - couldn't tackle, receivers wide-open all over the place, and little to zero pass rush pressure to make the mediocre Kevin Glenn look good. I knew the Ottawa D had plenty of holes and was iffy at best, but was just horrid. They need to replace about 9 starters or more on D for next year (Pruneau, Zack Evans and the injured for this game Gavins are the only real keepers IMO). I realize the Riders have some dangerous weapons on offence - Carter & Roosevelt at receiver, Thigpen is a speedster - and their O-line is pretty decent, but that was a real sad display of defence, and maybe DC Mark Nelson - who has had some good D unit moments the past couple of seasons - needs to be re-evaluated or let go. or let somebody else evaluate talent.

    I was cheering for Ottawa this game, but deep down I kinda hoped (& knew) the Riders would win ... because I really want to see them face the Argos in the East final - and get just stomped & slaughtered. There is no way in hell that the Argo defence plays that pi$$-poor, and they will expose the ego-Jones and mediocre Glenn offence as not that good. Glenn will be pressured and sacked, the Argo D will lay some big hits, and receivers will be covered well & often, Book it. And Ricky Ray vs. Kevin Glenn at QB is a bit of a joke match-up. The only way the Argos lose this game is by some real dumb-@$$ coaching or huge mistakes by the players.

    Harris should have had 1 or 2 more interceptions than the 2 that he threw yesterday.

    The Ottawa defence was putrid, but has been for much of the year.
