CFL Quote of the Week:

"I've broke records in college and I'm climbing up the record chart here, but I've never won a championship, if I want to go somewhere and get 2,000 yards, that's fine and dandy, but that's not what I want. I want to win Grey Cups."

-    Calgary SB Nik Lewis

B.C.:

"What a way to honour Mr. Ackles ... fighting to the end and pulling it out in the end, it was a great win because we struggled so much on offence. Our defence held us in there."

-    SB Geroy Simon

"Jarious just threw the ball so far," said Simon who led B.C. receivers with five catches for 117 yards. "Both of us expected that it would come out earlier but he has such a big arm, he put it out there and (Johnson) got tripped up."

-    SB Geroy Simon on the long TD pass he caught from QB Jarious Jackson

"We know Bob, we know his family and we miss him but we had to win for him, whatever it takes to win, we'll do it."

-    DB Korey Banks

Calgary:

"I wish Jesse a speedy recovery and I definitely would have like to see him come because you want to compete against the best,"

-    RB Joffrey Reynolds on Hamilton RB Jesse Lumsden

"He was a runaway train sometimes and that was good to see, the more often we can see that type of play, the better we will be offensively."

-    Head Coach John Hufnagel on RB Joffrey Reynolds

Edmonton:

"I'm still trying to figure out the game, we couldn't make plays when we had to make plays. We've got them pinned on the (one-yard line) but we couldn't stop them. There were times offensively when we turned the ball over in the red zone where we gave precious points away."

-    Head Coach Danny Maciocia

"He (Kerry Joseph) had a great game, (Early in final drive) we played a lot of zone and were giving it up. Then, the last one that Scott caught (a 22-yard reception that put Toronto on Edmonton's 13-yard line) was all my fault. We've got a young team. I'm not using that as an excuse, we've just got to learn to put these games away."

-    KR/DB Tristan Jackson

Saskatchewan:

"I haven"t been 4-0 with any team since my sophomore year in high school, that was 1997. This is huge and it's very emotional. Nobody gave us a chance and we're OK with that. We loved being the underdogs last year and look how that turned out.

-    DB Lance Frazier

"It feels good, we got the win and it was tough, but games like this help you build character and show you where you are at as a team. We came out on top and that's the most important thing. I wish we didn't have to work that hard, we're a good team. I put a lot of blame on myself for those turnovers that I had in crucial situations that gave Montreal the short field and they scored both times - that's 14 points off of turnovers and they definitely hurt us and made it a much closer ball game than it should have been."

-    QB Darian Durant

"I think we have a hell of a team right now, it looks like we're pretty much running on all cylinders. We take a little while to get started but once we get started it's hard stopping us."

-    RB Wes Cates

Winnipeg:

"We're definitely going to come back, they've got to keep throwing the ball. They've just got to make some plays near the end of the game."

-    LB Barrin Simpson on the Bomber offence

Hamilton:

"Their offence put on a clinic out there, we did not challenge them at all.”
-    Head Coach Charlie Taaffe

Toronto:

"That last drive was a statement drive for us, to go 109 yards in about a minute is big. It just shows what we can get done when we all collectively come together. We can't have one guy making a mistake and the other 11 doing it right. We need to have all 12 being on the same page."

-    QB Kerry Joseph

"It was a special day for me . . . and I knew he would want me to go out and have fun, that's what I wanted to do. I told my mother this morning I was going to go out and enjoy it and let it all hang out and see what happens. It was a great win. When we put forth a total effort as a team this is what we can do but we can get better."

-    QB Kerry Joseph (playing on the 8th anniversary of his father’s death)

"I told Kerry to put the team on his shoulders and he did, I thought he did a damn good job and called his own number when he had to. We have to let Kerry Joseph play. We can't harness him and he played the game like it's meant to be played."

-    Head Coach Rich Stubler

"When you have a quarterback who can run, it opens a lot in the passing game. This is doing it the hard way but we know if we get in that situation again we can perform."

-    WR James Robinson

Montreal:

"I'm frustrated, It's always frustrating when you lose. You have to take care of the ball, you can't let interceptions happen. You can't let fumbles happen. That was the difference in the game today."
   
-    QB Anthony Calvillo

"It was very physical game on both sides of the ball, we did a number of things to put ourselves in position to win and we also put ourselves into a position where you saw the final result."
-    Head Coach Marc Trestman
