DEFENSE wins championships and ours certainly deserves a trip to the next round where there will be NO wind, rain, slippery turf - just a boat full of Argos to sink!!
GO TICATS!!! :rockin:
Well, Smith can quit smiling and go home where there will be NO TSN announcers to gush over him!!! I really don't care what they say about him.
If Ticats earn a trip to the GC - win or lose - they MIGHT finally notice what a good team has been built here by Austin!! 8)
Totally agree. I don't like winning on a bad, or missed, call but, I must admit, I can live with it much easier than losing that way (I have an elephant's memory of the '83 Eastern Final) in the playoffs. And, in this one, it might have stolen the game from MTL then, but it left them on an equal playing field for O.T.
Then, the "D" and Dan won it for the Cats.
What was with the play calling in the first 3 1/2 quarters? 0 points with the wind in the first half. And the Cats had the wind for the long quarter. Also, 2 quarters with the wind and not one long pass to stretch the field. Not one pass with a ball flight of more than 20 yards WITH THE WIND!!!!! The Als just sat on the short and medium pass game and dared the Cats to throw down field. And the coaches call the 4 yard out on 2nd and long all game. Unbelievable.
I don't feel badly about no PI being called on the TD pass when the Als got away with the same thing earlier on that pass to Fantuz in the endzone which would have been a sure TD. Looked to me like the Ticats defender (forgot who is was now!) was just jumping to try to intercept the call and collided with Carter.
post game: Major Pant Load (aka Climie) says "Troy Smith outplayed Burris". According to the stats it looks like Hank has the edge. See for yourself.

Smith 14 of 26 for 142 yards, one td and one int.
Burris 23 of 36 for 204 yards, one td and one int.
Certainly not stellar numbers for Hank but clearly better than Smith. Statistics are for losers anyway. We won the game, improbably at best, and now get to go on the road, hopefully to make the second item in my signature come true. If it does, I can't wait to hear Major Pant Load's excuse for why we should have lost. :twisted:
