Roughriders talking about must-win game vs. Argonauts in Week 3 of CFL season
REGINA — It may only be the third game of the season but the Saskatchewan Roughriders already appear to be facing a must-win situation when they host the Toronto Argonauts at Mosaic Stadium on Monday.
Expectations are always high for the Riders in Saskatchewan so when the team lost its first two games of the season — 23-17 to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on June 13 and 44-41 to the Ottawa Redblacks on June 21 — the grumbling began.
Defensive back Ed Gainey is in his fourth season with the Riders so he knows firsthand about the demands and expectations of Saskatchewan’s fervent fanbase. He doesn’t have a problem with Monday’s game being labelled as a must-win affair.
“It’s never too early (for a must-win game),” said Gainey after Sunday’s walk through. “At the end of the day we’ve got to win. We came up here and we get paid to win football games so for coaches, players and everybody involved, we have to make sure we’re doing our job, not focusing on anybody else. You need to trust the person next to you to get their job done, make sure you do your job, hold everybody accountable and the wins will come.”
