Please let this be true. A struggling league just standing by and allowing one of their pillar organizations to get absolutely crippled by one guy seems dumb.

Cap Space > NHL players
went to the game (free ticket, would never pay to watch them)
fan apathy at an all-time high...I guess the Dino promotion didn't work lol
the tailgate was a blast though
this team is the dumbest team in the CFL...this week the kicker choked like a dog, can't make an easy FG then boots it out of the field of play
0-5 and they cant even fire Chris Jones....what a mess this franchise is in

Coach and management salary cap.
You can fire him, but his salary for the next year counts against your cap. Which means any replacements have to work for free. Which at this point honestly seems like bringing In a volunteer GM and coach can’t be any worse.
The CFL is more bush league than the NHL and that’s hard to do.
How many people were there, 12?

The purple team cheated. All the other teams the contestants ran back to their heard before the next person could start. The purple team players started the next person as soon as the e previous player sank a basket.
Why don't they fire the coach and have a promo where a random fan is picked to be the game coach.
Maybe even let a few fans try out for kickers and some positions on the team.
You will lose but at least you can have a laugh at the game

The fact we brought him back after what he did on his exit the last time he was here is just so embarrassing. Worse is that he absolutely sucks at his job too.

I think they should have a promo where they give away free hot dogs and SMALL cokes to the first 2000 people…oh wait…

I think I'd rather they just get blown out every game than f*** things up at the last minute time and time again.
It’s actually incredible that special teams have been atrocious for going on 20+ years now other than a short reprieve in 2015.
Every single year special teams end up costing the team at least one game due to spectacular ineptitude. On top of the laughable f*** ups, their general incompetence is damaging to the team’s ability to win games in general. I bet that they basically start the season 0-4 due to nothing but awful special teams.
Solution seems to be trying to just randomly land on a good kick returner every year. Not working.

Perhaps JJ could take over as head coach and thus there would be no added salaries. Bush league to be sure but that has already been established so no harm done.
The new owner could just act as his own GM until the 2026 season. He can use the players as contacts for other players until he/she gets to know some people in the league.
Yikes, this Elks curse is like something out of the worst of the B grade horror movies. Hard to believe that for 40 years the good ship Eskimo was the flagship of the CFL.

Might be the worst defensive backfield we've yet witnessed. These guys cover absolutely nobody. Middle of the field wide open time and time again. Dru Brown throws for nearly 500 yards? Jfc.
But at this point it's moot until Jones is removed. Abysmal clock management in the dying seconds was just the last of many errors, and the clock continues to tick on the franchise's existence.

It was the most disorganized event ever btw, shocking right?
We get back there and suit up, quite a few of the suits didn't inflate, just before the race they duct taped our legs so the air stayed in. No explanation of what we had to do for the relay, also couldn't hear shit in the suit. They also said they needed 4 teams of 4 and there were at least 30 people back there.
When it was all done we walk down the tunnel, a lot of people were thirsty and they didn't even have a flat of water to offer.
I still had fun but it all seemed very last minute to the organizers.

Lewis is the best of the bunch back there--they don't throw his way as often but yes, you can't win many games in the CFL when you are constantly allowing big plays in critical situations. Can it be that tough to find DB's??? Other teams seem to do it.

Reality is that the team f***ed up 6 of the last 10 plays of the game.
Play 1 with a minute on the clock at the 21 or 22 yard line. You know at this point you have at most 6 plays to work with and a minute on the clock so you actually want to start eating away at the clock here. But they go into a hurry up and blow the communication leading to a broken play giving nothing. f*** up 1.
Play 2 At least they decided to chew up a little of the clock before the snap (but not a lot) but the pass go incomplete. f*** up 2 (albeit not a major f*** up so call it f*** up 1.5)
PLay 3 Goes for the TD play and draw the interference. That's fine.
Play 4 1 and goal at the one. Fail. f*** up 2.5 (though partially happy as that starts the clock again).
Play 5 2nd and goal 34 seconds to go. Snaps it early and fails to score only burning 14 seconds. f*** up 3.5.
Play 6 3rd and goal 20 seconds to go and snaps it 9 seconds into the play clock. Scores so that's great, but they knew this was the last play, Drop that clock down to at least inside 5 seconds. (Feel like calling this f*** up 4 as it's half f*** up.
Play 7 Convert (could argue should have gone for 2 but won't call this a f***up).
Play 8 kick the ball out of bounds. f*** up 5.
Play 9 Let them get an easy 26 yard completion. f*** up 6.
Play 10 Walk off field goal (nothing more team can do there).
You can't f*** up that much in the final minute of a one score football game and win. Such a frustrating team.
With this team's track record of finding insanely stupid ways to lose, I actually think this is a f*** up as well. I'd put their odds of winning on the convert much, much higher than actually managing to get through OT winning a series on both sides of the ball.
