Then you don't get it. I can't teach you football 101 on the sandbox...
Seriously though, if Saskatchewan scrimmaged at their 30 yard line on average they'd have 80 yards to go to score. Yesterday Saskatchewan was scrimmaging in the Winnipeg half of the field almost all game (mostly because of those turnovers).
When the defence has to defend a team time and time that has only 15 yards to go to score a field goal or less than 55 yards to score a TD you are asking too much of them.

Our D was as solid as it could be when they get no rest between scores. Our special teams was pretty solid too. The blame is on the offense, without a doubt.

Defence, no matter how awesome, get tired if they are playing more than the offense.

then the problem is in the training. EVERY guy should be able to play 120 minutes non stop. never mind the breaks they get. We are talking professional atheletes here.
HELL I was at a track and field coaching clinic on Sunday and I was going hard for 3 hours straight. and I damn well better be more out of shape then anyone on that team.

I didn't watch the game, but I'm not going to blame the defense for this. You can't expect to rack points when you're always on guard.

ha ha ha seriously if these guys can not be on field for "2 solid hours" then they should not be playing professional. Considering how many time outs, commerical breaks, time in between plays there is.. 2 solid hours is a joke.

No offense Dean, but it's quite obvious you know absolutely nothing about football.

lets see... two seperate teams... or more.. each player.. "plays" for at most 1 minute with a minute rest.. and usually less then 5 minutes without a major rest well the other "team" of his team takes the field. Shite the only game where the "atheletes" play less is baseball.. maybe golf.
