Well, another year...another loss in the Grey Cup. I can't recall ever having said that before. Usually the comment is, well..there's always next year. That is the difference now. Next year is a chance to win.
With 3 GC appearances in 4 years, the Riders are truly the team that owns the West. Right now people with say the Stamps are the best team. Maybe so but the Riders were the so called best team in the late 60s and 70s and they made it to the cup 5 times and only won once. But they were in the west final 9 times from 66 to 76. They could not get it done so were they really the best back then? Same can be said for the Stampeders.
What is important now is that the Riders are building another phase of dominance in the West. And hey, one Grey Cup win in three appearances is great! Montreal was 1 for three early this decade and lost another 3 more to go 1 for 6 before they beat us twice by a total of 4 points.
This is the beginning of a 10 year run of Rider competitiveness. Put together a couple GC wins and it becomes the first Rider dynasty in team history!
