That looked clean

Suitor was even wtf'ing that call

Zach could of ran and slid for an easy 6 yards

That's what we have had all year. Nobody that can step up and make a huge play.

He has gone for deep daggers with mixed results. Lots of forced throws into double coverage which is no bueno. I do miss the days of the 15 - 30 yard strikes to Demski and Lawler.

Math isn't a strong point around these boards. Every year people around here think that if one team signs one guy for a high contract that they have zero ability to fill out the rest of the roster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo It is not different groups, it's just that the word Eskimo was used in a derogatory manner so the preferred term is Inuit.

I wasn't aware Noeller was a blogger? I kiddd

Chad Flutie with those gaudy numbers! I'll take Dru Brown back in 2026!

The Elks make more sense to me since Edmonton isn't currently known for having a large Inuit community. I don't think changing the name back to the Eskimos is going to create a surge of ticket or merch sales. If Ottawa can get a nice crowd with a dumb name like Redblacks then I don't see why Edmonton should focus on a name change. Focus on putting a fun outing that can draw casuals and non football fans to the stadium.

Is he signed for next season? Maybe Calgary gives him a chance?

Old boomers on forums don't like new voices and are out of touch. Ignore the trolls and feel free to post opinions and articles on here. We can use fresh takes around these parts!

Great outcome and awesome that Freeman won the MVP! Always a good time when the Yankees lose!

They have to make a splash for a new QB, I can't see BC wanting to send VAJ to a divisional rival so I'm not sure who they can get?

Serious question.... what else is their to do in Regina during a cool Fall night? I know the city has grown , but I'm unaware of the "other" attractions that they would have?

I've complained about this numerous times in previous years.... could the league ban the air horns at Montreal? I was debating on watching the game on mute as it was giving me a headache hearing it non stop over and over again. Super irritating.

My concern is that it clearly wasn't working and if are only going to rush three then can we at least not allow Fajardo and Alexander to go on a run where they have a 95% completion ratio mixed with many 6 - 20 yard runs from Fletcher/Erlington. The only guy on D that I saw doing anything was Ford and Jones. No big hits, no turn overs, no sacks, no hurries, it really looked like a vanilla pre season game. Would of been nice had they at least tried something else to change it up. Also this off season if we don't replace Thomas with anyone else even a raw rookie then that is a big fail. Outside of looking like a tired old bald guy on the sidelines he was completely invisible all night.

I'd rather we play Rourke/VAJ.... as I said in the gameday thread we have zero pass rush and a guy like Harris will eat us up with non stop 7 yard passes going uncontested.

After him even considering for the league to go 4 downs... I'm amazed we didn't run him out with pitch forks. Wade Miller would be the best choice IMO. Pinball has dirt on his hands after the latest drama.

I finally watched the game... I don't think I've ever seen a Blue Bomber game where the d-line had such little to absolutely no pressure on the QB. Willie was double teamed all night, outside of the one Garbutt sack I can't think of any play where any one hurried Fajardo/Alexander or had a hand in his face or anything. That is not going to cut it come play off time. Very concerning. The whole game I was waiting for someone to do something or to make a play or cause some sort of disruption. Outside of the first series with the BS non interception call... that D did absolutely nothing at all. Fajardo after the first 2 series went what 16/17 and Alexander was 9/10 at one point.... yikes. Glad we won but this is the weakest team that we've entered the play offs in during our latest run.

Somebody has to wake up the old folks who are living in the past and thinking that the game is the same as back then. It's embarrassing for them to live in such delusions. It is more fun to watch old hockey and football because of the high scoring and far larger margin of blown coverage and misses. It's just hilarious to me that people are so simple that they think that the players of yester-year could compete in todays game. Stop embarrassing yourself, it's sad. Join this conversation once you watch some 1980's hockey. You clearly have not.

Lol you are crazy. You clearly have not watched the NHL from the 80's. You are saying that the play of NHL goalies in the 80's is superior to the god awful goaltending in the current NHL? Seriously that is even loonier then the worst of Riderfans.com.

But he didn't and he played against inferior talent. That's my point it is harder these days to put up those gaudy numbers and when a guy like Kelly is putting up better then Flutie numbers that is a huge accomplishment and *IF* he continues at this pace then Kelly surely would be a HOF'er. I don't think he will but if he does then I'd have zero issues of him being in the HOF and considered greater then Flutie.

Name 5 other CFL qbs from the 90's that had significant careers in the NFL? If we were able to time warp current QB's with their current knowledge and athletic abilities and training back to the mid 90's then yes I think a large amount of them would of excelled in the CFL back then. Some may have even excelled in the NFL, heck Strelever , Rourke, MBT, all had time in the NFL and all three of them are current CFL back ups. I don't think Doug Flutie from 1996 tossing shovel passes would do well at all in the current CFL. Prime Flutie wouldn't get a sniff in the current NFL also. Different eras, Flutie played in a time where the CFL had a far lower level of talent/athletes. Current CFL is light years ahead in quality of talent and athletes so it is so much harder these days to put up big numbers on a consistent basis.

You really think that if we could create a time machine and teleport 1980's Gretzky to play today in the NHL 2024 that he would score 200 points? Are you out of your mind? Before you embarrass yourself any further... go watch some 1980's hockey. Watch how unstructured it was and how hilariously bad the goalies were back in the day. They were like slipping on banana peels and starfishing around and flailing out of place. If we could play magical time teleportation, the current 2024 Oilers would not lose a game and McDavid would have 300+ points if they were teleported back to 1984. The 1984 Oilers being time warped to 2024 NHL would be the last place team and would probably set the record for worst record ever. The skating alone would be insanely night and day different. It doesn't mean Gretzky sucked or anything, he just dominated during a different era. Your comment is as silly as saying if Babe Ruth were to be playing with the Yankees today that he would belt 50 homers and pitch 20 complete games with a miniscule ERA.
