Hamilton vs Edmonton GDT

[TecnoGenius]

Elfs Oline is a joke as well.

I think you just discovered the perfect, proper, new name for EDM.  "Elks" is cursed.  Elfs is much more apropos.  And it lets them stick with the 4-letters and almost-the-same-as-esks.

EDM Elfs.  Only waterbugs need apply.

Poor?..everything and it is not even close! Bad bad bad. Worse than the Tim Burke or Jim Daley or Mike Kelly or Reinbolds etc?

Worse than Burke??  Hmm, that may be a step too far.  Not only did Burke-era feature bad coaching, it also featured virtually zero talent on the roster.  EDM is chock full of talent.  I think the locker room is ruined.  I think the morale is shot.  I think the players don't care anymore.

This is the last 6 games of SSK in 2022.  This is a team that will not win anything, period.  Fire the HC and the new guy should declare his starting QB and just stick with him, no matter who that is.

Lapo isn't doing anything...

I know the Bombers were a terrible team in the late 60?s too. Joe Zaleski was the coach I think. I was in diapers in those years, so I can?t say if it compares to the Kelly/Reinbold era though. Both eras were the start of two long GC droughts though for the team

Cornelius has not shown the accuracy or decision making to be a successful QB in the CFL.

His decision making has been great tonight.  Minus that one pick-six.  Seriously, he was picking the right reads most of the night.  The receivers let him down, simple as that.

His accuracy is poor.  But the whole team has admitted that and said they can compensate.  This was the Big Gamble by C.Jones this year.  A cheaper QB and probably the best R corps in the league (on paper).  It didn't work.  Yet.  At this point, probably never will.  This gamble will cost Jones his job.

The discipline all game by EDM was horrific.  That Morgan clown should have been yanked way earlier.  How are they going to learn if you don't bench them at least a few plays?  They'll just laugh at you.

179 penalty yards for EDM?!

4Q0:49 Dunbar lets Doege down with another drop on a sure-catch ball for top-10 receivers.  It's not the QB, EDM!  It's the whole team ethos.  They just don't care.

P.S. HAM really sucks too.  Man they are bad.  Before the dumb penalties and ref-help mid-game and Corney-p.six EDM was looking at least the equal of HAM.  Both of these teams are in big trouble.

On the plus-side, the "guaranteed win" "perpetual-ticket" buyers from week 1 are probably going to get a full year of free games!!

Twenty consecutive home losses for the Elks now.

Twenty.

[Jesse]

Twenty consecutive home losses for the Elks now.

Twenty.

And their next three games are: Bombers, Lions, Bombers.

[bluengold204]

And their next three games are: Bombers, Lions, Bombers.

They will probably beat us in one of those games

[blue_gold_84]

They will probably beat us in one of those games

Yeah, okay.

[Blue In BC]

Neither team is very good.

It wouldn't surprise me if C. Jones is fired over the weekend but it wouldn't surprise me if he stays for the balance of 2023. Lapo is available.

Elks have to do something drastic to turn things around. It will be another week of 6+ roster changes. Let the airlift begin.

Their players can't be looking forward to playing the Bombers and Lions in the next 3 games.

Ticats tried their hardest to give the game away in the first quarter. Dropped the opening kick off and got 0 first downs. Edmonton ended up getting 3 points.

Ticats didn't do anything until about 3 minutes left in the 2nd Q when they scored a TD to go ahead then got a pick and 3 more to go up by 4.

Edmonton was in the game until their idiot QB threw with his left hand while getting tackled for a pick 6. The whole team fell apart after that.

Sad sad football game.

I'm gonna call them the Elf's until they start playing like full grown men.

Edm. has no chemistry, like none, zero, ziltch.

Look at that roster they have individual talent, but they do not play as a team, they play as 24 individuals.

They have fallen off the rails, CJ has tried but IMO until they stick with some guys and let them build chemistry together I think the same will continue.

Every once in a while a new roster catches fire and wins, but look who has been the best in the CFL, it's the clubs that have minimal roster turnover and have built chemistry and trust in one another. That takes time but Edm. is still a revolving door that has not had a chance to build trust and chemistry.

Hammy sure didn't look very good either

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Well I was wrong! Hard to see how that's not the season for Edmonton.

Both defences looked terrible, each may have legitimate reasons for struggling offences but there is no excuse for exhibitions of bad/lazy tackling.
