You guys just let me know if you get tired of the CBC Power Rankings for the Riders:

9. Saskatchewan Roughriders (Unchanged)

  • Overall record: 1-8
  • Streak: Lost 5
  • Next: Winnipeg

"The long sobs of autumn's violins"* can now be heard across the central prairie as the Roughriders sink slowly into unimportance. This week they decided to put up a fight, however, rather than just give in to an early offensive invasion by the Eskimos. Falling down 22-0 before the half, the Green and White clawed back to within four by the end of three periods. That was pride talking ... they could have quit on the spot. What cost the defence was an inability to stop the ground attack – 183 yards that not only ate up field but clock. There were also too many early opportunities underneath the coverage as the DBs kept dropping back off the cliff. If the new overlord could stop parachuting in so many new players, there might be time to build a little cohesion.
