I Just Can't Count on the Riders

Being a Bomber fan its a good thing that they beat Montreal last week. By doing so they put their playoff lives in their own hands. Going into last week, I did some figuring. I figured that Hamilton would beat the Argos last week. I didn't count on the Bombers winning either game against the Montreal. As long as the Riders beat Hamilton this week, and at that point the the Tiger-Cats were not playing so well, the Bombers just had to beat Hamilton in the last game of the season and they would finish second and host the East Semi-Final.

Fortunately the Bombers hammered Montreal last week and I no longer have to rely on the Riders. Once again when the rubber meets the road the Riders crumble. They did not look very good today. They could not move the ball and missed multiple field goal attempts. They were fraught with turnovers. They did nothing to win and as such, didn't.

So this is were we are right now. Whoever wins in the Bomber, Ti-Cat game next week finishes second and hosts the East semi-final. Depending on what happens with Edmonton next week and in the Bomber, Als game tomorrow, the other team may not be in the playoffs. It's all coming down to the end. It's exciting. It's why they play and we watch.

In about eight days we will know how it all shakes out, until then we will definitely be talking about it, a lot.
