The team that can lay claim to the best fan base in the league will not lay claim to the best team in the CFL. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the Grey Cup Champions as they would continue the trend of home teams winning the Grey Cup. The win would be one that came almost as expected as the offseason would see the Riders build to win. They would add a number of big name players in an attempt to try and win the Grey Cup at home.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders would have a unique opportunity coming in to the 101st Grey Cup. It was not as if it had never happened before as the last two Grey Cups would see the exact same opportunity for two teams. This time it was different though as the Riders would have the chance to win the Grey Cup in front of some of the most loyal fans in the CFL.

The CFL week would start with plenty of anticipation as the fans can feel the playoffs in the air with the Grey Cup only a few weeks away. As the air gets colder and the snow begins to fall in place the teams in the CFL begin to prepare for the climb to the Grey Cup. For the Alouettes and their fans though this anticipation would turn into a bit of fear for the future.

As all fans know the CFL is a unique league that stands apart from any other football league in the world. There is a different feel to the CFL when you watch a game as the business is not as important as the game itself. A sense of community is the concentration in the CFL giving it a special feel when you’re a fan. It is not only that different feeling that makes the CFL great and unique because above all it is the rules.

The CFL is a passing league even though the running backs seem to be taking over the league this year. It will always be a passing league no matter how well the running backs do the quarterback will always be the most important player on the field. The QB is the one that everyone looks to lead the team through the rough patches in a league.

The CFL continues to surprise time and time again as teams continue to rise and fall as the season is just getting started. There is always one thing that most seasons will see in the CFL though as the passing game is truly something special. It is the real passing league in North America as 4,000 yard passing seasons are more the benchmark than the exception.

The first week of the CFL season gave everyone a lesson in offensive football as it went down as the highest scoring week in CFL history. There were a total of 277 points scored in week one as the offences looked unstoppable and the defences looked invisible. It was an extremely exciting week but everyone knew that it would not last. Football is inherently a defensive first game as large scores are not common.
