I was at the game as well and I cannot recall ever seeing an Argo team so totally inept in every facet of the game. What was that with the kicker?? They had two kickers the last two games and suddenly only this Rogers guy who couldn't kick a field goal over 30 yards if his life depended on it. Stupid team management let Pfeffer (however you spell it) go the minute Swayze Waters came back. It's been a gong show ever since then. Offense is totally useless. Still the same stupid, stupid play calling, three yard passes when you need 5. Feel like banging my head against a wall when I see that. Defense was the worst it has been all season. Two weeks ago I was sure the Argos would be in the Grey Cup, with Collaros out and possibly Ricky Ray coming back, but who knew the team would suddenly become the worst team in the CFL overnight, which is where I would put them at this point.
Great to see Ricky Ray finally get into action. I think Harris was really struggling with his offensive line that gave him very little protection tonight. He never had time to set up at all. Still.. it was past due when he got pulled. He has been really great for us all season, but I think he just hit a wall. Suddenly, he is struggling big time. Maybe just not used to playing this many games and especially in hostile territory for most of the games. A break will do him good. I was even thinking tonight that Milanovich should have just put McPherson in for a few series just to let Harris watch and try to re-focus. Sometimes that works.
At least the Blue Jays lost tonight as well, which means we finally get a home game. I really hope every so called Argo fan in the city gets out to show their support for this team that has had to endure so much crap. I just hope they don't put on another horrible show which would drive even those fans away.
Another story, off topic, but had to relay this one. A guy I know just got back from a trip to Italy. He said he was lining up to get into some building in the Vatican and struck up a conversation with one of the guards there. The guard found out the guy was from Toronto and then Yelled out in excitement... "Toronto Argonauts !".... and then "Chad Owens !!" Good to hear stories like that one.
