CFL 2024

[bellagiobob]

Bought tickets as a fun way to pass the time until the Oilers game and it feels like November outside.

You guys will have your choice of seats. Stadium looks pretty much empty.

Home opener for the Elks season. From the opening TV shot they must be having a “dress up as an empty seat promotion” going! Yikes.

Tough to get a crowd today going up against the Oilers, in their defense.

Seems they rarely get a break with the weather too.

Yeah tough draw today. Moving the game did likely help, but still a tough situation. Hopefully the city will lean into them and support them once the Finals are over.

Add the coldest June 8th in basically forever, pouring rain, pretty much a nightmare scenario for a home opener. Maybe 5K there? Where the heck are all you Rider fans, usually can count on 5-10k from Rider nation alone.

We're all Oiler fans too

Couldn’t get the combine started. Too cold.

(Every time I go to a game at Commonwealth someone yells that at us late in the game, as we’re usually getting our asses kicked)

70 yard kick return TD nullified by a very marginal holding call.

They ran into each other in a football game--go figure.

CFL refs simply call incidental contact on kick returns all the time.

Love the shout out from Warren Moon about Dwayne Mandrusiak and his contributions to the team.

Warren Moon = Total Class

And take away one of the most exciting plays in pro football by doing so.

No worries, we get kick return TD’s all the time.

They do it every year. Its not a ballet, its a football game.

The good news is that Leake is a gamer.

Smart play by Alford--he knows the CFL rules.

 

[MoontoScott]

Very little experience on the D-line--essentially rookies and of course no pass rush.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I didn't realize Stephen McAdoo was still coaching the offense.

For which team?

That was marginal.

 

[bellagiobob]

Sadly I’m looking forward to the officiating in the Oiler game tonight. And that will likely be bad, but this is just gross.

 

[Cloned]

Bring Ford in lol.

I’m to the point of just assuming there will be a flag every time the Elkimos make a play.

 

[oXo Cube]

I've got a sneaking suspicion we might all be watching a couple football teams that aren't any good.

 

[brentashton]

where Taylor Cornelius when ya need him.

Hey look another play, another flag.

 

[rboomercat90]

I guess the punter out kicked his coverage there.

This is the Bottom Feeder Bowl. Should be sponsored by Purina.

 

[MoontoScott]

Very smart play by EE rookie linebacker O'Neal to not retaliate.

Key OL member for Sask. now out of the game.

At least this one was clearly a 2 handed push in the back.

The EE do have talent but you can't turn over the roster every month.

Let's hope they at least stick with these guys for half a season.

Cdn Flag League

 

[bellagiobob]

Been a minute since our TD and I’m still waiting for the flag to nullify it. I know it’s coming.

That was a nice drive--they got the running game going.
