Familar words..but this time it's for the Als

We've been hearing these explanation for the Tiger cats' lack of success...like...

One step forward, two steps back. Is that to be the epitaph when the 2011 season comes to an end? So brilliant one week and so inconsistent the next. But why? Not even the players have an explanation.

"I can't answer that. I don't know," defensive-tackle _________said. "We're trying to do our jobs, but I don't know. I can't pinpoint anything. We fought hard. If we had laid (down), but we fought our ass off."

The ___ might still win the Grey Cup come November. If so, this defeat at __________to the___________will be nothing more than a footnote. But the trip to a championship just became more difficult. It's highly unlikely _____ will finish first in the East Division......

This excerpt, though, was taken from the Montreal Gazette. Sports writer, HERB ZURKOWSKY, who observes the CFL and the Montreal Alouettes regularly, penned these words about that city's team after their loss to Winnipeg yesterday.

I had to recheck the site name and the title of the piece to be sure it wasn't about the Tiger cats. Again, maybe parity is rearing its head in the CFL.

Not sure if this will give any of us comfort....but we do seem to have company..in the frustration department...

Yes, the article could very well be about the Cats.....

except, I'd rather be in Montreal's 6-5 placing at the moment, in close games and not blown out the past two outings.
