CFL 2024

Offense has gone a bit cold here, still need som possession time to eat up the clock.

MBT trying to run the clock since the half. Be better dude.

Time for a response now from the offence. Even a field goal would be helpful.

Cats have woken up. Don't go Jonesing on us...

Playign with fire here, another two and out. Cats sitting on the run on first down and then the second and long not going great.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Conservative BS play calling from JJ

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Stop. Starting. With. The. Run.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Its like the "Jones" weight has been lifted from everyone's shoulders--including the fans.


Reminds me of a Mafia Don.

It’s been a perfect storm. In a short period of time, we’ve parted ways with Chris Jones AND the Board. Like winning a lottery. I’ve never met Larry Thompson but I love that guy!

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Mayala!

 

[rboomercat90]

Stop. Starting. With. The. Run.

There’s the big play you were asking for.

 

[Sra1974]

Mayala!

Wow that was incredible and lucky at the same time.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Can't even remember the last time the Eskimos came remotely close to 40 points.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

That was huge. Collars start to get tight if they had to punt again. Don't love that it took until now to do anything on offense in this half, but that should be enough to remove any doubt.

 

[Cloned]

Can't even remember the last time the Eskimos came remotely close to 40 points.

Since the turnaround they’ve scored 42, 33 and now 39.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

One of my best CFL memories is the 64,000+ crowd against the Riders in 2009. Even though the Esks lost, just being in a crowd of that size was an amazing adrenaline rush.

Hopefully we get to eventually enjoy an attendance/atmosphere boost like what BC has. But that will take years (if the league can even hold on that long).

I have a sense that there are a lot of closet fans who haven’t come out yet because the product has been awful. Give them an exciting reason to attend and they’ll come out. These are folks that have supported the team in the past and stepped away because of the shitshow it became (in the board room, on the sidelines and one the field).
We’re seeing a reason now.

But even in 2015 when they ran the table to finish the year, they only got about 34K to come on out for the Western Final. That game should have had WAY more than what it did.

It's going to take a whole reboot of off-field culture in the community in order to rebuild what the BoD destroyed.

Helps that the new owner drinks Coors and not Coors Light

 

[Sra1974]

Well next week will be tougher. Who starts at qb? I hope ford still.

 

[rboomercat90]

Hamilton needs to remove that play from their short kickoff playbook.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Most points the Ticats have allowed this year.

Not happy with how the ESKIMOS handled the second half, but they pulled it together. Every win counts.

 

[MoontoScott]

When was the last time that either the Elks or the Eskimos won 3 in a row?

Someone on the thread will have the answer.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Yes I asked the same question of you after you did if the new Elks owner, but anyway you find that offensive guess.

Over and out. You’re not worth the air.

What was offensive was the "f*** off" to begin with.

I really don't care about the question at all. Also I have had a few myself. So there you go.

That’s true…no argument. I may have rose-coloured glasses when I say this but winning games and hiring credible head coach and GM would be huge in making a turnaround happen.

 

[Messrules11]

Some big games coming up, this is getting good!

I took the trouble to look it up. Determined it was 2018 ten seconds before Kate mentioned it

Playoff games aren't actually that well attended historically, rarely more than the seasonal average unless it's an exceptionally nice day out. I figure the more casual fans that will come out in the summer and early fall are content to watch on TV in November.
