Saskatchewan Roughriders Embody Chaos Theory in Action
The Riders are not that good and not that bad as they showed in their 34-22 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Stampeders.
The Riders are not that good in coughing up the ball for four fumbles, two of which helped to fuel Calgary to a 24-0 first quarter lead they easily held onto for the rest of the game.
The Riders are not that bad as the defense managed to play good enough to win for three quarters, even pitching in a touchdown, and showed they have the ability to win games solely on perhaps the best defense seen in Saskatchewan in uh, 42 years?
Rider GM/Coach Chris Jones demonstrated his stubbornness by stating the Riders would continue to pursue a small ball offensive strategy, which is run a lot, short passes and try to compensate for a lack of offensive punch by holding onto the ball as long as possible without turning it over. In other words, Jones seems determined to turn the Riders into the 2001 Baltimore Ravens who had an all world defense and a minor league offense.
