Neat 1000yds and you got your 2nd td.
Not playing the Stamps tonight-- a much tougher opponent this evening but credit the team with being tied at the end of 3 quarters. That Bomber O-line was also outstanding tonight.

The EE might still be pretenders but at least they are not offenders. Just keep building towards the 2025 season. The team is definitely headed in the right direction.

I think everyone but Winnipeg in the west is pretenders

That’s like the guy who argues that there’s holding on every play

Weird how you weren’t arguing against the phantom roughess call
Lead with your helmet and hit another guy in the head with your helmet you’re gonna get a flag. That’s the way it is now.

Yeah that’s why the concussion spotter pulled him off two plays later. Not that any of this matters, the elks are the reason they lost tonight not the refs.
The elks lost cause they werent good enough, and the officials also sucked and make more suspect calls.

Both can be true.

The Elks lost because of the turnovers. Why not go for the field goal when you could have in the first? Can't be fumbling the ball away and giving up points. Ford was not seeing wide open players.

Winnipeg always gets favourable officiating.

Nah these are the 2 best. After Jones was fired they’ve taken another step.

They're 3rd in points allowed since firing Jones, so they are definitely right there. Still a notch below Winnipeg and Montreal though IMO:

Winnipeg: 17.1ppg
Montreal: 20.5ppg
Edmonton: 24.1ppg
Ottawa: 24.9ppg
BC: 25.6
Sask: 25.6
Toronto: 26.0
Hamilton: 28.4
Calgary: 30.9

Although I hadn't realized it, also the highest scoring team since Jones was fired at 29.7 points per game. That's a pretty good combination.

Islands in the stream.
Fix Or Repair Daily

131yds passing, One fumble, two picks and two turnovers on downs. Oh and doesn't run for hardly any yds anymore. Old Zach Collaros with the running stride of a Tom Wilkinson rushed for more yds and first downs.

whoops

Rankin looked like a superstar though and credit the whole D for keeping it a game as long as they did.

Hard one to swallow. Probably a comfortable win with even 3 turnovers instead of 6...

It's not over, but they need to win three straight for sure now, probably all four. Winnipeg is very beatable, but probably delivers a better effort on Friday; the Elks will need a mistake-free game to win I suspect. I'm confident Sask can drop a game to Ottawa or BC, but Edmonton has just about run out of racetrack here...they've blown one too many games.

Suitor might be legitimately r*etarded.
He's is certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

First he comments after Ford completed a pass on the same side as his brother sometime in the first quarter, " Tre needs to stop concentrating on just trying to beat his brother and focus on winning as a team."

Then, on a great and totally legal hit on a Bomber receiver that was inexplicably called for roughing (???), he says it was the correct call. The guy is severely stupid.

Just watched the recorded game, as missed the original. Had I not seen it, I would have said, "Oh well, Jarius Jackson clearly didn't bend to the fans wishes and started Ford and MBT shit the bed." Instead, it was quite the opposite. Ford was absolutely terrible. Matter of fact, the only TD he threw should probably have been an INT if the Dback would have just looked back sooner - terrible throw. What a waste of a game by Rankin. And he should be starting ahead of Brown, and should have been for some time now. I understand AC Leonard was suited up for the game, but not sure I ever heard his name called. Not a good sign. If they lose next weekend, I 'd say the Elks are cooked.
