October 17, 20231 yr comment_668982 I 100% think they could. If Trey Ford gets hot, we have shown we can easily **** the bed against running QBs. I am terrified of having to go into Calgary with first place on the line.
October 17, 20231 yr comment_668985 It's the cfl, you don't show up for the game anyone can beat anyone else.

October 17, 20231 yr comment_668987 If Schoen is out, I am even more terrified to be honest. The way Zach has been playing this year, Dalton out means more forcing it to Lawler who hasn't been all that open this year. Edited October 17, 20231 yr by Super Duper Negatron
October 17, 20231 yr comment_668988 6 minutes ago, Pepper_Brooks said: We must keep Ford contained within the pocket (shoutout to speedsters Brian Cole and Jamal Parker) and force him to rely on his arm. If he manages to break outside the tackles, our core team's speed isn't what it used to be, and he could keep Edmonton in the game by scrambling for yardage. If luck happens to favor Edmonton during the game, it's a real cause for concern, they've looked much improved in weeks passed. But let's all radiate positivity into the ether this week to shift the luck equation in favor of the blue and gold. Chasing Ford around the backfield is a sure way to exhaust a limited D-line rotation, better to contain him and force him to throw downfield with an emphasis on zone coverage.

Wow we really are spoiled. The negativity lately on a team that’s likely going to win 13/14 games is crazy. It's actually, The Since Ford, 4-4 Elks team. They have the type of QB who has given the Bombers Defense fits all year. So yes. They could beat WPG. Also it's pro sports. Any given sunday (or Saturday in this case).

I think if Lawler is playing Schoen's spot on the field, he absolutely rips the Elks a new ******* and goes off for 200+ yds. Demmer is due for a big game, too. We'd absolutely miss Schoen, but we have enough pieces to beat the Elks if we show up and play like we can.Â

Absolutely, execution of this game plan is a must as Ford has shown he has the ability to make this quite difficult no matter the D's intention.
October 17, 20231 yr comment_669000 I’m not saying take Edmonton lightly but Christ, if the boys can’t come out motivated after a bye to wrap up the west how do you think we’re going to win a grey cup.. I have full confidence that this team is going to take care of business on Saturday.Â
October 17, 20231 yr comment_669001 On a positive note looks like it may be another sell-out. Looks like there are probably between 1500 and 1000 tickets left.

It's habitual more than pessimistic.

I've been wondering about that. Great news, considering the time of year. Even getting north of 30k is fantastic. The team is going to make a pile of cash this year. Curious how playoff tickets are selling...

I'm not sure if they could get both BOLO and McRae on the roster, but that would be best case scenario, on the receiver front. If you could use both depending on the package, that could be interesting. I see that we have added Noah Hallet to the PR today

Â Â that's really the point I've had most of this season... I just don't trust this team game in and game out. You never know who's going to show up.

October 17, 20231 yr comment_669016 as a bomber fan, when I think about this week's game I feel like Rocky Butler has pitched a hammock on my grave. This isn't just a trap game, this is a 12' deep tiger pit complete with dung-encrusted punji sticks kind of game. buuuutt as a CFL / sports fan I like the drama of the nothing-to-lose snake-in-the-grass Elks vs the lots-to-lose Blue Bombers. This is exactly why I watch the game.

It will be close. It will either be we in full control or a loose Elk team taking it to the wire.Â

We’re 7-0 in those games. I’ve seen the Bombers beat the Lions by nearly 40, the Riders by 45, the ALS by 30 plus, I understand any given Sunday but I’ve seen a lot of good football as bad as posters are saying we’re playing we have the least amount of points given up in the CFL, and were averaging over 32 PPG on offense. That game against Ottawa was the perfect storm of kicking ourselves in the foot and maybe letting off the brakes when we had a lead. I’m going to give us the benefit of the doubt that we’ve learned a lot since a July football game, and that we’re going to come out focused and bring our best against Edmonton to wrap up first.Â
