SASKATCHEWAN – Corey Mace earned his first home win as head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders as his side remained undefeated, winning 36-20 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday night at Mosaic Stadium.
As a Tiger Cat fan I have to admit that I am disappointed in their performance - just not good enough. I’m not pushing the panic button, but they have to start showing signs of life and improvement = both in the playing and coaching staffs.
Congrats to Cory Mace on his team’s victory ! Tim White really has a case of the dropsy’s and Mitchell needs to stay away from feeding him the ball if the Ticats are going to make any headway. Why is it that some players demand a huge salary then play so bad? Mitchell did the same as a Stampeder. He was nursing an injury , but is that what has happened to White? Is Orlando Steinauer now regretting spending $300, 000 on what now appears to be a dud.
I feel sorry for the Rough Rider fans in attendance tonight, the dishevelled Cats were not entertaining. The Cat superstars were completely shut down: White with no catches, Butler with no large gains, and Bo Levi wildly turning the ball over four times to the Riders.
It’s one word Roughriders - Rough Riders were Ottawa before they became the Redblacks.
Welp… after a weekend of houseguests, I tried to watch as much of the 4 games (as not to be too far behind) while my guests were sleeping, managed to finish Sundays game around 3 am Monday morning. After a fun-filled weekend the last of our guests leave today. My congratulations to Montreal & Saskatchewan for a solid win over their opponents both teams looked very good, and congratulations to BC & Toronto for their victory in very exciting back and forth games. Montreal looks like the GC Champions they are well Winnipeg, Edmonton & Hamilton seams to forgotten how to play football.
The Rider fans should saver this moment in the season, by the end of it they will not be Grey Cup bound, The Cats have suffered all that a team can after 3 games - only place to go is up!
Problem for the Cats though is losing by 15 next week would be considered going up.
Well from the looks of it to start the year we have four tiers of team ( way too early but I digress )
Tier 1:
Als
Argos
Riders
Tier 2:
Bc
Tier 3:
Calgary and Ottawa
Tier 4:
Winnipeg
Hamilton
Edmonton
Of course this is a bit too early to rank them but this is just how I see each team state to start the year. Tier 3 and tier 4 tho are very very close.
Hmmm, I saw a dominant defensive display
No sympathy required because the fans were treated to a dominate display from their home team. I give the D ALL of the credit
It’s something to see a cats fans go talk trash about another team but when fans go to any Cat Forum. It made plain and simple other fan bases are pretty much not welcome what so ever. Not by all cat fans but enough of them to make it hard to visit.
I don’t think Rider fans should be too confident yet. The teams they defeated are a combined 0 and 6. Let’s see how they do when they play the big four (Montreal, Toronto, BC and, yes Winnipeg (ignore that 0 and 3. Their opposition was a lot tougher).
Cow town is pretty good too.
Six games in or later is a better idea of a team and how well they are.
I’ve been saying this, too. I’ll wait a bit before I plan a trip to the parade.
Not expecting names engraved on a cup but damn they gotta improve a lot over the past three seasons. They CANT just post a 7 win season and hope the fans will be content
With hindsight, the Roughriders are the better team while the Cats with their sixteen rookies have much to develop to win games. With foresight, Montreal, BC, Toronto, and Calgary have a 90% chance of being in the Grey Cup.
How 4 teams with a 90 percent chance add up? I may be crappy at math but I can no logic in this
