Ugh.

So we lost 44-18 to Calgary. We were soundly beaten. Unfortunately, some injuries on the defence really hurt the Riders, as they couldn't get a push up the middle to put some pressure on Burris, and stop the run. From there, Burris got into a rythym and then things got ugly.

It didn't help that our offence was making mistakes. And for the record, it wasn't Nealon, who played pretty good. Some of the run play calls were questionable. Dropped balls killed also hurt. The Riders have to play mistake-free football when they are on the road.

On the bright side, this was a good kick in the pants early in the season for them. They've mostly played crummy teams so far this year, so this is a good wake up call for them. Their intensity has to be kept up. And it's still really early.

Next: Ottawa at home.
