Who's up for a threesome?

Make it three wins in a row for the Roughriders, following a 39-12 dissection of Winnipeg in the Labour Day Classic. Suffice to say young Jacob thoroughly enjoyed his first taste of the Labour Day atmosphere at Mosaic Stadium. The rematch goes next weekend in the Manitoba capital.

It seemed fairly obvious that Kerry Joseph has not completely recovered from his knee injury. However, he was able to scamper downfield reasonably well, regardless. Where Joseph showed obvious rust was in his passing, completing only 12 of 27 attempts - and missing open receivers in favour of throwing into coverage (more often than not in the direction of Jason Armstead). I certainly hope Joseph rachets his game up a notch next week, or the newly-minted Rocky Butler fans will be howling for a change.

Oh, on a side note - Jacob has started beating me in Madden football. Stupid video games.
