Argonauts use adversity as rallying point
And so it begins for the Argos, forced to play another home game on the road when the team thought it had seen the last of this incredibly shortsighted and ridiculously stupid setup when the season began in Fort McMurray.
Tuesday night should have been the beginning of the push for the post-season, the CFL’s final one-third of the season when teams normally begin to peak for the playoffs as rosters settle in.
It should have been the beginning of a home stretch that was supposed to see the Argos play five of their final six games at home and not be forced to take a plane, board a train or a hop on a bus for what is allegedly a home game.
The team surprised many by jumping out to a quick start, winning games in key moments with a lineup that didn’t involve a future hall of fame quarterback, a bevy of first-year players to the CFL and an inordinate amount of road games against tough Western opponents from week to week, checking into hotels, subject to the vagaries of travel and inevitably compromised when injury struck.
