Elks at Riders GDT

[GOLDMEMBER]

It would be sweet and most humorous to see Jones beat the Riders.

Continue?

I don't think the Elks could beat St. Paul's Crusaders at the moment. At least with Cornelius they have a shot if Jones hasn't bungled the QB room so bad that they're all checked out.

Yeah, I also can't see the Elks winning on the road tonight. It may be a close game but I'd still take the home side.

[The Zipp]

But how sweet would it be to see the riders lose at home?   

Elks continued implosion - we win

Sask bungles a game at home against a clown show - we win

I do think Sask is the better team so I expect they will win easily.

LMAO I was thinking St.Vital Mustangs but I digress.

maybe a Reinbold coached Bomber team of years past might be on par.....that was pretty bad and goes to show how the once might Esks/Elks have fallen.    Jones should just stick to being a defensive coordinator.

I'd call it the "Reinbold-managed" Bomber team. Reinbold's players would've run through a brick wall for him. I think it was more about Reinbold the GM letting down Reinbold the coach. I'm not sure that Chris Jones would elicit the same kind of support from his players. Thinking about it more, I think the comparison might be a good one though!

Not sure why players sign with Jones, he doesn't seem to be a nice coach.  MOS sees a mistake, and coaches up the player.  Jones flys off the handle and benches him.  Ask Cornelius.  Or Locksley.  One play and out.

No debating he has had some success in the past, but in his current run, he has no one to blame but the GM, and the HC.

EDM starting 8 NATs.  But the 8th is just a fake placeholder (Curtis) for the real starter Ceresna.

4 NAT OL!  Still no Eugene.  R corps looking weak, unless Forbes can have another fluke week.

Corny back starting!!  Yoyo Jones at it again.  Ford back in as 3rd QB and Locksley completely disappeared.  I wonder if he's on the pooplist after his poor behavior (and performance).

"Corny you're 100% our guy; ya we pulled you for 2 games and you weren't our guy, but trust us this time you're 100% our guy no matter what!"  Should have just stuck with Corny the whole time.  Doege-coin was a bust.  What're the odds on Ford coming in when Corny has a bad half??

SSK chart looking better, except maybe at OL.  SSK one of the few teams making use of DNA on both O and D.  They also forgot to label Hickson and Cox as DA (nee DI).  They too are putting the OL number for DL Dabire.  Strange, EDM is not.

This game could be a bloodbath.

Elks made 5 changes to their AR for this game. Not sure if those were injury related or Jones just juggling the roster.

Cornelius is not the answer. Never was.

Harris will shred their bogus D. Riders 30-10

[GOLDMEMBER]

Well I took and Riders, how often does that happen? 

Elks are terrible at every turn

[bustamente]

Best out come would be a tie

[Pigskin]

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.

Cornelius is not the answer. Never was.

He's the best answer they have right now.  I'm still not positive Corny can't be good.  Getting closer to saying it, but not yet.

To me his big failing is he just might not be smart enough.  He also seems to get demoralized easily; doesn't strike me as a leader.

They made a mistake yanking him and ruining his confidence.  Now they go back?  Ugh.  We could be looking at his last few starts, though.  However, a surprise win (which would be any win), could change all that.  I don't see it happening without Eugene, though.

I guess Elks could always go and try to get Dane Evans.  He's the only non-starter that can remotely give you a chance to win.
