Gotta feel sorry for the Cats. As Drew Edwards pointed out yesterday, they are the first team in CFL history to start their season with four straight road games. That must be tough.
Edwards isn't the first person to try to perpetrate that narrative recently. I heard Rod Black mention it a few weeks back as well as the CFL mention it on either social media or an article but I don't recall which one.
Yes, the Ft. McMurray game was a "home" game as the majority green and gold jerseys attest to
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
Yes we truly are the only team to play 5 road games to start the season, BS technicalities aside.
The Fort McMurray home game was a total joke anyways, surely Rod Black and Drew Edwards wouldn't actually let the facts get in the way of a good story, would they??
Edwards simply planting the excuses seed in case Hamilton looses tonight.

Ya, poor Hamilton.....go Riders tonight!!!!!
Portis was released after their season opener: http://mytoba.ca/sports/bombers-cut-...actice-roster/
Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Rider should be in full crisis mode after their performance tonight, kept it close until Glenn threw an interception deep in their end.
Saskatchewan's defence looks very suspect, no pass rush, and soft against the run.
Boy, how the mighty have fallen!!
Sigh. I guess expecting the Riders to do us a favour was unwise. We'll have to handle this job ourselves.
If Glenn had been able to play the entire game, it likely would have gone down to the wire but, unfortunately, he was unable to. I don't see much hope for the Riders, especially with Glenn gone for any length of time as their defence is quite bad.

I keep feeling like the 2015 Roughriders should be falling off the cliff similar to the 1981 Argonauts. Wasn't the latter getting blown out by Week 5 or are there too many differences between the two teams?

I expected Sask to get blown out this week, so keeping it within 10 surprised me. They do remind me (somewhat) of the 1981 Argos. I would not be surprised if they got crushed this week, especially with Glenn likely out.
It must really suck to have burned through 44 per cent of their home games already and have not a single win. Their chances of a turnaround this season seem extremely slim.
Panic in Riderville

Rob and Murray react to yet another unsuccessful attempt by the Riders to secure a win this season, as well as the injury of quarterback Kevin Glenn.

http://www.rodpedersen.com/Amidst all of Chamblin’s postgame quotes, that was the kernel which stuck out to me. “We couldn’t keep them out of the endzone.”
So the time has come for Chamblin to relinquish the duty of calling defensive plays and hand it over to Greg Quick, the man whose business card actually says “Defensive Coordinator”. Chamblin's a great football coach but the task of managing the game while running the defense at the same time seems to be too huge at this juncture.
