Saskatchewan is no good.

Also, from this week's CBC Power Rankings:

9. Saskatchewan Roughriders (unchanged)

• Overall record: 1-7
• Streak: Lost 4
• Next: At Edmonton

One must come to the conclusion that this is a really bad football team. Where to start in a 53-7 loss? Play-by-play man Chris Cuthbert said "wide open" in regards to Hamilton receptions so many times that we were wondering if this was a new defensive scheme by the Riders — lull the Cats into a false sense of security. How can this secondary be worse than last year's secondary? Astonishing. Poor Darian Durant's confidence looks about shot as he threw four interceptions, bringing his season mark to ... four. There's no one to throw to, no protection and no running game, so he's forcing it badly looking for something ... anything. What's hard to work out is how a defence that did pretty well in two games with Calgary came up with this effort for a coach known as a defensive guru?

Riders might set a record for number of players used in one season.

I thought they did already, and got fined for it.

Really, REALLY, bad football team....one of the worst in the last 20 years.

Yikes

The game thread from Calgary-Hamilton is hilarious.

They have long game threads about other teams? Get a life?

They usually have a Calgary game thread if we play another team. All part of the hate Rider nation has for the Stamps

[JiriHrdina]

Easy. This is a forum that has a dedicated (and perfectly awesome) thread to hate the Oilers
Nothing wrong with a fan base passionately hating their rival.

Actually, as of a few days ago they were about seven short of the record with more than half the season to go.

They have many game threads for games not involving the Riders. I'd say for most of them, in fact.

Yup, it's all good. The Stamps have taken over as the most hated rival (supplanting the Eskimos) likely due to the Eskies falling all hard times in the past decade (prior to last season's Grey Cup win).

[old-fart]

There has never been, and likely never will be, a better example of "little brother syndrome" than the Riders fans to Calgary. Well over a 100 years and what, 4 Championships in a league with 8 or 9 teams? That's pathetic.

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.

As long as Saskatchew-onewin is at the bottom and we are at the top, I'll never tire of CFL Power Rankings.

And they've just signed Khalif Mitchell:

Cause they needed someone else to make them even less likable.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Looks like Chris Jones and the Riders are now going out of their way to ensure the rest of the league knows what we in the West have known for many years, they are a collection of hypocritical scumbags from top to bottom. What a pile of dog#### that organization is.

Had to search who he is in wikipedia. Wow, what a piece work, he'll fit right in.

[dash_pinched]

This is the same team that had Greg Hardy on their negotiation list a few months back, right? Hey, Khalif Mitchell is a step up from Hardy. I wonder who's next, maybe Jason Jimenez will be brought in tomorrow.
