VANCOUVER – Somehow, some way, through defeat after defeat, the Ottawa Redblacks have to sell their players on hope.
“When you sign up for this game, you know there’s going to be a loser, you know there’s going to be a winner,” said defensive lineman Lorenzo Mauldin IV, one of the bright spots of the season. “You stick it out, give it everything you’ve got.

Ottawa has a bit of a break before playing Montreal on Thanksgiving Day, then the Als come to Ottawa. The Redblacks have home-and-home games with Hamilton to end the regular season. And, yes, if they won all four games, it’s possible they could be in the playoffs.Article content For much of the season, the Redblacks look like they’re playing to not lose, rather than playing to win. It just never seems like they play loose and confident. A week ago, not far from midfield, the Redblacks chose to kneel down rather than heave the ball downfield on the final play of the half.

“I think we are a good football team,” said Arbuckle. “But we haven’t played good together at the times we needed to long enough to win more games. Looking around the CFL, I don’t think there is a bad football team. Even the teams with the worst records have all-stars and guys you know are great players.It’s about finding the ways to win at the end and sticking together, making those critical plays at critical moments in a game.
