The Saskatchewan Roughriders know all too well about adversity.
They seem to face it every year.
It was at this time last year the club had a record of 4-4 heading into the Labour Day game against Winnipeg. They went on to win that game, the next week back in Winnipeg and ultimately on their way to the Grey Cup.
Running back Wes Cates says lofty expectations may have gotten the better of the team. He says it's just time to relax.

People went "loonie" over a gold coin imprinted with the Saskatchewan Roughriders logo that was unveiled at the Northgate Mall on Thursday afternoon.
Three million of the limited edition coins have been produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.
James Love with the Royal Canadian Mint says there is a lack of green on the coin, but there's a good reason.
"Because this is a circulation coin, it needs to be a bit more durable -- not that I really expect any will go into circulation," he said with a laugh.
Roughriders evaluate at first practice after loss to Eskimos
Extra attention paid to special teams

The Saskatchewan Roughriders were back at practice on Wednesday after that rough loss to Edmonton on Saturday.
Those on special teams were closely looked over. Some individual drills took place that go back to the start of rookie camp and involved coaches Mike Schepper and Nelson Martin.
Special teams coach Jim Daley is taking a lot of the blame for the lack of pop in his department. He knows he has to be a better coach, especially when it comes to the return game which has basically been non-existent.
