Haha wow, talk about arguing semantics!
Okay then you explain... if you can't tell the difference.
Let's say we lose to Calgary 28-27 this week...
Person 1: well we were at least competitive in that game
Person 2: we held up with the class of the league, this team is incredibly competitive...
It's all perspective... that's all I'm saying
i don't look upon it like that. Incredibly Competitive WERE the Ti Cats before Collaros got hurt coasting to the playoffs at full speed dismantling teams at home. Or the Stamps cruising along, maybe in close games but finding ways to win at the end. Competitive teams are those that win 1 lose 2 or win 2, lose 3 but are 8-10 or 9-9 at seasons end. We were 3-3 when Willy got hurt so we were competive. On any given day we could beat the best or lose to the worst. Willy gave us a chance to win every game but if people think we were good enough to hang with Hamilton or Calgary with Drew Willy before he was injured then they were wrong.
... we DID hang with Calgary. What part of that are you missing?
Don't post often, but have to whole heartedly agree with this...in my opinion SHOULD have won IN Calgary, beat the Riders in Regina, and were down 4-3 at the half in Edmonton if I remember before Willy went out. That's a solid road showing in the first 3 games in tough places in my books. Also beat BC and MTL at home in that first 6 game stretch as well. That's a pretty darn good showing while Willy was the QB. The Hamilton game where he got hurt, they were already putting the boots us, but if everyone remembers, that was during a really hot stretch where they were killing everyone.
Incredible or not, that's a level of competitive I can live with and appreciate.
