Elks at Blue Bombers pre-game thread

[bugsybomber]

upon further review, the Elks  should win at least one game this year so it will probably be  this game

[BBRT]

I will be very disappointed if we do not  blow out the Elks this week. They are a terrible team

Well new guy be prepared to be disappointed! it will be a very close game and if we win it will not be by much.

So you are saying we might not win at home against the worst team in the league in recent history, what does that make us?

I believe we will win - but it will not be a blow out! If we win by a TD I will be happy. Heck if we win even by 1 point I will take it!

Welcome new guy! No bloody way in hell we lose this game. Try again! I?ll be watching the OL big time this game.

We will rebound.  Agree with ensuring we control the QB sneak.  Hall needs to bring the heat at the right time from the right place.  He will adjust.  Hopefully can get a body back or at least nobody new is hurting too bad.  Control the line of scrimmage and limit turnovers.  Same old recipe, we forgot a few ingredients last game.  Players better eat their Wheaties lol.

Cornelius is another mobile QB. We tend to struggle against those it appears.

This week will be a wake up call. I expect them to respond well, but I just don?t know how much our offence can get done with the OL showing it?s age like it has.

Wonder if they will put AB4's helmet directly over Corny... or i they choose to do it with teh SAM or WIL...  or even bring a FS down on him... or all of the above. 

"Spy the QB" should be the theme for Thursday.  Every play one guy should have the QB as his only responsibility.

Containment is a better method, for whatever reason our DE's ignored their duties last game in their pursuit of individual sacks and glorification, which left gaping holes in the line for Crum to scramble through.  Let other teams pursue the individual sack race, playing smart D and maintaining good position as a group should be the priority.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

The pick six was catastrophic and BOs fumble again had our D back on the field.    Let's not forget the two turnovers on downs our D stopped in the red zone and our offence did nothing with that momentum shift.    Was it a combination of a good Ottawa D playing a tired out O-Line?    If you look at the time of possession it indicates a wide advantage for Ottawa and this is why our D was simply gassed in that final minute.

With Lawler back does anyone give the Eeeks a chance?
Kenny is gonna be super jacked!

am wondering what we do if Clements is injured.. he didn't most of the second half and both Marou and Briggs couldn't pick up the slack. We hopefully don't try to bring in Wilson too soon as we saw what happened to Masoli. I also don't remember seeing much of Haba either. We don't have much in the way of replacements that I can see.

Big factor (Clements).  But regardless I think we win by 2 scores.

The way Edm is loosing they will miss the playoffs again this year. Jones likes draft picks so maybe try a get J Ceresna DL 6'5 295, 29 years old. We need help at the DT spot.

Sure, maybe they can ship Jones their #1 pick Bennett for Ceresna, I bet he'd go for that!
