KJ - Oy Vay!

The Riders evened their record at 6-6 with the 27-23 loss in Winnipeg Sunday in the Banjo Bowl. Not Kerry Joseph's finest work at quarterback, to be sure. Joseph looked tentative in the pocket and his passes were.........erratic (putting it kindly).

Fortunately, Jason Armstead and Kenton Keith made highlight-reel catches in the first half - giving the Riders offense (and quarterback) the appearance of competence. Now, the green guys enter a bye week before facing the B.C. Lions at home on the 24th. And the prospect of a home playoff game slips a little further away...

On the bright side - all-world good guy Jon Ryan made his NFL debut with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. It's great to see a genuinely nice young man realize his life's dream. Now if only the Packers would start winning the occasional game!
