Edmonton is next level right now. The Bombers are going to have to cleanup there penalties and D breakdown.

Their defence is really good. The offence has come down to earth a little bit. They are certainly in that 2nd tier of teams behind Montreal with Saskatchewan. It will be our toughest game so far - and we've certainly been beat down by teams that were significantly worse than Edmonton already.
My wife is amazing!

Oh man, Fajardo is going to shred our secondary and look all-world Qb!!

Game will be won on the line of scrimmage.

Protect Zach and cream Cody.  Only way we have a chance.  Tall order.

Ya, our pass rush is good, so that may limit the damage, however, they are weak against the run, so Rankin and Leake will have big days. Our speical teams will have to be extra special and our offense not turn the ball over, but they're scoring 30+ on us, keep having flashbacks to the BC game and if their fullback can cut us a new one, what is Rankin and Leake going to do?!?!

Sir Blue and Gold

Ya the problem is going to be trying to get pressure on Fajardo while being somewhat run responsible. The historical run performance against BC that broke a 60 year record might get beat two weeks later by Edmonton because Rankin and Leake are scary and it's hard to image an scenario where they don't shred us. Every week I hope JY has figured it out and every week it looks basically as bad or within the margin of error we're used to.

I see Fajardo in his post game presser proclaiming the Elks are a great team, not a good team , but a great team. Bulletin board material that I hope we use. They are a decent team, top third in the league,  but they are beatable, just ask Montreal and Saskatchewan. That hardly makes them a 'great' team.
