Riders show progress? What progress? The riders were throughly thrashed in a beat down in Winnipeg by the CFL Blue Bombers.

Start winning Grey Cups, that will be progress. And I don’t mean one every 15 years or so either.

Maybe you should have actually read the article instead of just the headline.

Butt-hurt much too now? Oh well, you are doing not so great on your own to be giving out such poor advice like that.

There’s only next season now for all teams but for two. You’ll just have to get over it or just stay a sore loser.

Your constant criticism of the Riders doesn’t go over well with anyone, although it is technically permitted in general threads. Perhaps a member of the Riders beat you up when you were a boy or kidnapped a member of your family ?

To answer your question about progress, the Riders clearly made progress. They went from missing the playoffs to playing in two playoff games, winning one of them. I define progress as moving forward, which they did.

Hamilton and Edmonton did not make progress and relatively remained the same. If the Bombers don’t win on Sunday they also won’t have made any progress.

Calgary regressed while Ottawa and Toronto also improved on last year and made progress just like Saskatchewan.

The team that regressed the most was your team, Montreal. From Cup winner to not even making it back to the big show. Not that I think they are a bad team, but I’m not sure why a Montreal fan is mocking Saskatchewan’s progress in light of the Al’s loss and regression the same day.

You said you were done here, but the riders are always on your mind. You are obsessed. Just by a green jersey already.

I don’t know I don’t think he’s done, and of course he does not have to be done here nor does anybody.

If anybody should be done soon, it should be any remaining sore losers for the Riders.

On with your off-season now before you recommend anybody buy Rider jerseys, to say the least.

Of course he doesn’t have to be done. But he did say he was done, moving on to the NFL.

saskatchewan roughriders Football Club, you would think with close to 200 employees the saskatchewan roughriders would figure out how to win consistently in a 9 team league, sometimes 8 team league. You got to feel some sympathy for the long suffering fanbase of riderville. Just like the Little Engine who thought he could, failure, again. Why doesn’t the riderville fanbase DEMAND BETTER from their team leadership instead of condoning losing year after year :thinking:, are they timid :thinking:.

(PS, as said before after the Montreal Alouettes lost, was signed off from posting but people keep Insistently asking for rebuttal with their comments, you know a person has just gotta respond).

Again, I’m not sure why you constantly pick on the Riders. Like your Alouettes they have won one Grey Cup since 2013. Why don’t you chastise their management and fans as well?

Most members of the forum still participate when their favourite team is eliminated, but to each their own.

I knew you couldn’t stay away. Your emotional connection to the Riders is obvious and very strong. Buy a green jersey, stop fooling yourself.

Take heart Rider fans. The 3DownNation Awards committee has bestowed their highest coaching honor upon your underappreciated rookie head coach:

Coach of the Year: Corey Mace, Saskatchewan Roughriders

Other coaches may have had better records but no one changed a culture more effectively than Corey Mace in Saskatchewan. As a rookie bench boss, the Port Coquitlam, B.C. native did what Craig Dickenson failed to do the past two years: win after Labour Day. He pulled his squad out of a mid-year tailspin to finish 9-8-1, returned to the postseason with a vengeance, and advanced to the West Final. Not bad for year one!

Runners-up: Mike O’Shea, WPG | Jason Maas, MTL*
