Saskatchewan Roughriders Start 0-3

Have you had enough time to digest the 33-3 beat down the Saskatchewan Rougriders were handed courtesy of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats?  I understand if you haven't.  If you haven't seen the highlights of the game.  Here they are.

The Roughriders haven't had this bad of a start in 11 years.  So we haven't been accustomed to seeing this bad of a start in some time.  What is needed to be done to improve this team?  Does Darian Darant need to sit out a game and Ryan Dinwiddie put in.  Put in second stringers and back ups in place of our starters?  What is the answer to the problems facing the team?  It was said that special teams was the problems.  But if special teams got us the points, than that's not the problem.  Something's got to give or we won't make the playoffs.

Time For Redemption

The Saskatchewan Roughriders made it to the Grey Cup game by defeating the Calgary Stampeders 20-16 in the West Final. It is the second straight year that the Roughriders have made the Grey Cup game. It is also the second straight year that we are facing the Montreal Alouettes.

Now if any of you remember, we squandered the victory and the Grey Cup by getting a to many men on the field penalty which allowed Montreal to get the field goal for the win. The big joke this past season was that we couldn't count. The Roughriders even took a couple of too many men on the field penalties. Let's hope we can redeem ourselves. Let's bring home the Grey Cup!

One Step Closer

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are one step closer to the Grey Cup. We defeated the British Columbia Lions in double overtime. It was a really great game. But the better did indeed win. Now it's on to the West Final against the Calgary Stampeders. It should be a great game. But of course the good guys will. That's what I'm hoping for anyways.

Hopefully we don't wait till the second half to start playing like I know they can. That could mean the end because Calgary could take advantage and put up a lot of points on the board. We need to keep the game close so we don't get blown out. That or we put up a lot of points early and often so we can get a good lead. We can't play like crap like we did during the middle of the season. If we do that, then we don't even deserve to play for the Grey Cup. This is a must win and as I've seen before, we can pull out the win.

First Win Of The Season

So the Canadian Football League (CFL) 2010 season kicked off yesterday with a double header. The first game saw the Saskatchewan Roughriders play host to the Montreal Allouettes. I predicted before that game started that we would win. Low and behold we did. Even though we were down going into the second half I told the Rider Nation on my Facebook to remain positive. There was the second half of the game still to go. Remaining positive worked as the game was forced into overtime.

Overtime came and we exchanged points. But we got a too many men on the field penalty. We looked distraught and looked like the game was done, but low and behold we managed to keep the win. It was awesome! What an amazing game for the Roughriders on Canada Day. 1-0 to start the season. Also, this is the third highest scoring game in history and I am proud to say that I witnessed it. 105 total points scored with the end score being 54-51 for the green and gold.

Our next victims are the British Columbia Lions. The Roughriders will be on the road for that game. That takes place on July 1oth at 8PM CST.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Lose

It was overall a pretty good game, but we lost the Grey Cup due getting a too many men on the field penalty. That got Montreal ten yards closer. We lost by one point due to Montreal getting that field. As they say... there is always next year.
