Riders throw up all over themselves in Q1 vs. Stamps

So, uh, things aren’t going so well for the Saskatchewan Roughriders against the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night.

The Riders committed two turnovers and surrendered a punt return touchdown as the Stamps stormed out to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter.

But don’t worry, the Rider fans are taking it well…

This is embarrassing #Riders

Well, we're on pace for 100-0 for the Stampeders.
THIS IS NOT IDEAL. 😂#CFL #RIDERS

This is embarrassing. #Riders have been playing terrible and boring football since Jones arrived. Fire the bum he’s done nothing here except costing us money #firejones #Riders

And there’s plenty more where that came from.

Anyway, there’s plenty of time left and this is the CFL where there’s a well-worn trope about leads and safety and such but…

Hopefully, Dave Dickenson can find a way to “win with some class.”
