Although the Riders have had a pretty tough go for the last five weeks (1 win, 4 losses for those of us keeping track), I’m still holding onto my optimism for the remainder of the season. If we can win again this afternoon, it should restore some more of the confidence that was lost during our four game losing streak.
I just can’t understand what caused a team to win five in a row, then lose four in a row directly after. Gah. It’s frustrating. Actually, it's beyond frustrating. After nine weeks we had the best Rider start since 1970 (when we started 10 - 2, and ended up 11 - 4), but something horrible happened at the Banjo Bowl, and we just haven't recovered--despite our win last week.
But, whatever, I’m sure that, like the rest of you, a home playoff game would be next-to-perfect. So let’s hope for a couple more wins coming up here, then for the home playoff game, then root for the Grey Cup.

Well, generally it comes down to scoring less points than the other team. :)

Awesome analysis Lance. :)
But let's hope it doesn't happen too often from here on out... or again, would be nice too.
