Elks at Riders GDT

Elks winning would be good for us in the standings. Too crowded at the top.

I would like the Riders to win. It would be nice to have a western team crossover and take on the Argo's in the East.

Take OUT the Argos in the East, yes that would be a treat.

Riders have lost 7 straight at home?? Wow!

Wouldn't it be hilarious if they botch this one... the entire country is picking SSK to win.

Decent start Esks.

Terrible FG kick.

I guess the riders don't expect the Elks can do much in their own end. I like the gamble call

TecnoGenius · July 07, 2023, 01:30:28 AM

Dumb call. Just go for 3. If you really wanted the TD, you should have run it 3 times.

Might EDM be able to pull off an upset?? Oh the sweet irony, and green tears.

Is that Proulx I see back there?

Lanier down is going to hurt them. Maybe it's nothing, if they're lucky.

Here's the thing with gambling at 3rd & 3. The odds are basically a 2 point convert. They going to make that, what, every third try? Not good odds.

What surprises me, is usually a team that knows they are weaker will be aggressive like that. SSK has no reason to feel weaker than EDM. Or do they?? I think this doesn't bode well for the psyche of the team.

That Forbes guy is always in the right place at the right time. I'll root for the NAT!

The Zipp · July 07, 2023, 01:43:43 AM

Haha. Harris looking like Faj...

TecnoGenius · July 07, 2023, 01:45:47 AM

Weird, the pregame guys said there was a sudden big shift in betting, moving the odds by +2... makes you wonder...

EDM came to play, and they know they have a hard time winning at home, so why not put effort into winning away?

The Zipp · July 07, 2023, 01:47:16 AM

Classic Edmonton. Shoot themselves in the foot.

Was hoping we would get Proulx...shucks

Even before the fumble, RIderfans forum is melting down with negative morale. The fans there think they are worse than we think they are on this forum. Weird

I'm not sure on that TD hold... Andre seemed happy to take that TD away.
