For the first time in 3 years I used colorful language this afternoon while I was yelling at the TV which I do quite often when I am watching my favorite teams which are The Toronto Rock of the NLL and my home province's team the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Cfl. This afternoon my province's team was hosting the Toronto Argos and for some reason (maybe it is because we have some of the best receivers in the league) the head coach of the team (Ken Miller) decides to throw the ball like 40+ times a game and only figures out he has a running back a handful of times (today it was 9 times) and he is an above average running back. So in the end the quarterback of my home province's team today throw the ball 34 times (completed 19 for just over 200 yards), was sacked 3 times and he maybe ran because nobody was open once and in the end the offence was not able to put up points when they started on their own half of the field. The points came from a fumble recovery on a kick-off, a interception that started the offence at the Argos’s 30 yard line, and finally a kick return into Argos side of the field for all the points the offence put up. Now rider fans need to hope that Montreal beats Calgary on Monday so that the winner of next week’s game between Saskatchewan and Calgary is to decide who has the advantage going into the final 3 games to win the division.
