An Elk win here would do Big Blue a solid here.

Hopefully Mr Ford returns.

Having the Elks and Stamps split their series might be the best option for us? Elks are closing the gap on the rest of the west.

As long as Bombers continue winning, it won't matter. That's the key.

That's exactly why the big game-winning drive by the offense was so important last week. It put us another 2 points ahead of the Elks and Stamps. If we make the playoffs this year I'll look back at that performance as the key one that got us there.
Go Bombers!

I think you may be right about the split. 

TecnoGenius

My hunch is split because neither is really better than the other at this point.  Sure, each is trending in different directions, but trends can reverse.

I think I'd rather have CGY win because facing CGY in a playoff game presents us with a known quantity.  We know how to beat CGY.  EDM, especially with Ford, is a wildcard.  Who knows what to expect from them any given Sunday.

Ford is crap.  Just a publicity stunt. Can't read a defense. First read covered- he looks to run around. Contain him and make him play like a professional qB .  MacLeod is three times the QB is.

Maier can't contribute much.  If no pressure he is adequate.

Edmonton Elks bench kicker Boris Bede ahead of Labour Day Classic
By 3Down Staff -September 1, 2024

The Edmonton Elks appear to have pulled the plug on the Boris Bede era ahead of their most important game of the season.

The veteran kicker has been listed as a healthy scratch for the annual Labour Day Classic against the Calgary Stampeders. The Elks paid a significant sum to bring in the 34-year-old East Division all-star on a two-year contract this offseason and it has not paid off.

Through 11 games, Bede has connected on just 18-of-25 field goal attempts. His 72 percent conversion rate is the worst in the CFL and the lowest in his career since 2016. After missing another critical kick in a tight Week 12 loss to the Montreal Alouettes, his fate was sealed.

37-year-old Global kicker Dean Faithfull will get the nod for this marquee matchup. The former British soccer player was the Elks' primary placekicker as a rookie last year, connecting on 22-of-28 attempts for a conversion rate of just 78.6 percent.

In addition to the special teams switch, the Elks will get some marquee names back in the lineup after injury. Canadian quarterback Tre Ford will dress after missing the last two contests with a rib issue but will not start over veteran McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Star returner and burgeoning young running back Javon Leake will also be back in action after a one-game absence, forming a backfield trio with Kevin Brown and Justin Rankin.

On defence, veteran defensive back Loucheiz Purifoy is back in action and will return to his regular spot at free safety. Former first-round CFL Draft pick Daniel Joseph will also dress for the first time at defensive end since joining the team midseason.

To make room for the moves, quarterback Jarret Doege and defensive back J.J. Ross have been demoted to the practice roster. Global linebacker Les Maruo (calf) has been placed on the one-game injured list, while Canadian linebacker D.K. Bonhomme (hamstring) will go on the six-game.

The Edmonton Elks (3-8) will visit the Calgary Stampeders (4-6) for the annual Labour Day Classic on Monday, September 2 at 6:00 p.m. EDT.

All-star OL Sean McEwen returns to Stampeders' lineup for Labour Day Classic
By 3Down Staff -September 1, 2024

The Calgary Stampeders will have one of the best offensive linemen in Canadian football back in the lineup for the Labour Day Classic.

Veteran centre Sean McEwen is ready to return after nursing a hand injury the last two weeks. The six-foot-three, 299-pound blocker has dressed for 124 career games and made 119 starts with Toronto and Calgary, including nine this season at centre. He is a four-time division all-star and three-time CFL all-star.

While the interior of the offensive line will receive a boost, the Stamps were forced to put left tackle D'Antne Demery (hand) on the one-game injured list. Rookie Eric Smith will step in for him as he did earlier in the season, but may not be the only change on the left side of the line. Guard Bryce Bell (calf) is listed as a game-time decision, with Rodeem Brown and Kyle Saxelid being the next two men on the depth chart.

Elsewhere, the Stampeders have cycled through a number of changes to the backend of their roster and should look dramatically different on special teams with the return of veteran Canadian linebacker Adam Konar, homegrown receiver Tyson Middlemost, and Global defensive back Bailey Devine-Scott. The pass rush rotation will also see the addition of defensive tackles Charles Wiley and Kail Dava, the latter of whom will be making his first appearance after being poached from the B.C. Lions' practice squad.

Getting knocked down to the practice roster to accommodate the changes are Canadian receiver Rysen John, American defensive back Kenyon Reed, and Global fullback Ron Tiavaasue. Canadian defensive ends Elliott Graham and George Idoko will be healthy scratches, while defensive tackle Kwadwo Boahen (back) was placed on the six-game injured list.

The Calgary Stampeders (4-6) will visit the Edmonton Elks (3-8) for the annual Labour Day Classic on Monday, September 2 at 6:00 p.m. EDT.

You bet!  Even 3-RB-dressing teams like TOR never dressed 3 IMPs -- one's always a NAT (like AH33).

What on earth does EDM have up their sleeve?  Are they planning a 75%-run game?  If Ford can be in for a lot of snaps that will put CGY in a bind: Ford + 2 IMP RBs at the same time and who knows what direction they are going or who has the ball.

And all 3 RBs for EDM are legit game wreckers.  It'll be intriguing!
Never go full Rider!

TecnoGenius

Check out CGY's IN/OUT list... they just quietly got a lot stronger.  Still, they only really have 1-2 "real" receivers, especially compared to EDM!  I think CGY will surprise to the upside.  Might it be enough for a win?

Ford is a great prospect at QB.  MBT is ahead of Ford but not as much as you suggest imo.

My apologies to those I offended on Ford is crap.
He is probably a nice guy, and always happy on the sidelines. He runs around like crazy and is exciting to watch.  However it seems no one has taught him how to read a defense.  That's all.

You all know there are drills that can be practiced, so. QBs can scan the field, and. Then throw to a simulated Open receiver.

Yeah Macleod at least tries to find other players who are open, and distribute the ball.  Ford hs never gotten out of the community club style time when he. Could be a hero running around, and having his daddy dream of glory.  I wish he would distribute the ball.  I wish he would have a  QB coach.  He could be potentially really iconic.  Exciting yes. Winning......well I don't see it.

Jake Julien padding his (gross) punting stats in the first quarter - 3 punts with 67 yard average.

Looking at it another way, he has had nets of 27,18 & 27 - 24 yard net average.

2 punt singles & illegal punt OB are all missed assignments.

Yeah, I agree. Even if it worked, it's a BS play. Adds nothing to the game, isn't exciting in any way, and is an embarrassment for the offense when it doesn't work. I'm beginning to wonder if Dickie is what's wrong with Calgary. How long does Hufnagel stick with his buddy before he makes a change?

Enjoyed both games today. Glad Kelly lost. I think he's actually a very good QB, but I don't like what he did, or how Argo's handled it.
I thought both BLM and Kelly were pretty accurate today with their passes. Thought both o-lines were pretty good as well, which no doubt helped the QBs look good. I noticed in all 4 games the o-line push on short yardage seemed better than ours usually is.
Also, always happy to see Dicky lose.

Then the dude steps OOB by himself and then runs back in to take an illegal participation flag!  I was screaming at the screen realtime at this doofus.

What's Jake maier done?

Look at the number of starts he's had. Still starting.

A) Sunk cost: CGY has invested so much on Maier, they will do practically anything to see it pay off.

B) Maier is basically a Dave Dickenson.  They are so similar as QBs, and they are on the same page in terms of offensive philosophy.

C) Also like Dave, Maier is not very athletic: the idea is to be a good QB by playing smart and out-thinking the opponent.  The idea is to be overly cerebral.

D) Ford is like the anti-Maier: he's basically nothing but athleticism.  They are complete opposites.

Ford has been fairly good on most of his starts.  He clearly should get a chance, but it might not be in EDM.  If I'm a GM, and I want to win 2 of the next 3 games, I start Ford.  But if I want any chance at all at going deep in the playoffs for the next 2 seasons, I may roll with Maier.  Maybe.  (I wouldn't have issue (A) above so maybe not.)  Maier does still have a small shot at evolving into a decent game manager.

Most people will admit if they signed Ford as #1 that they fear he will get hurt all the time because he's a "running QB".  And also that Ds who get enough film will "figure him out" eventually.  But VAJ had the same stigma for much of his career... so you never know!

Right now, for once, the CFL has "enough" QBs that Ford is once again placed on the back burner.

If I'm WPG, I'm taking Strev because it better suits our run-first philosophy.  Maier is like a poor man's Matt Nichols... a game manager, but who can't yet manage games.

To pick Maier you'd have to believe Maier's main problem is Dickenson, and that he might be better in our system.  I'm not sure that's the case.  He smells like a Franklin that was just hung onto too long.

That's insane.  CGY gets the stop!  A huge fumble deep in EDM's end which would set them up for a sure TD... and instead EDM picks it up and runs for a near-TD.

CGY got punished for their D making the "better" play (fumble) vs if they just tackled Gino!  Doh.

That's a bad break and might cost the game.  They had a chance at a comeback up to that point.  Kind of like that ST TD we got in SSK, sometimes the breaks go your way.

Was just having a little fun as MBT had a career night?
He didn't play bad.  Yes took a bit to get warmed up.  Decent 1st half, lights out 2nd.  Have to take this performance with a grain  of salt because Calgary is bad but MBT is great when on.  Just inconsistent and has throw a lot of timely picks in the past.

I have lots of people on here that interact with me on a daily basis, like my posts and agree with me.  Someone even reach out on a PM to support me yesterday (Strev debate).  Yup I also rub people the wrong way.  My post volume is high and I post strong opinions so that's how is it and I'm fine with that.  Over generalizing imo.  Yes some don't like me on here.  We are all allowed to post what we want as long as it follows the rules.  If you post a strong opinion it will likely have a reply.

I don't have his 1st half stats, genuinely interested to know what they were if anyone has the ability to post that.

Yes no filter.  Here to voice my opinion and that's what we all come on here to do.

Please focus on the CFL not me.  This is a GDT not a PJ GDT lol.

I simply asked you to stop personally attacking me and over generalizing things and you simply contined to do so.  You have done that in the past as well on occasion and I got fed up.  I enjoy your content on here (when it not about me) and hope we can focus on ball going forward.

No need to pile on x2. It's a football forum not a popularity contest.  What people really do need to see is people talking PJ not football.  Trying to avoid that.

I will do my best not to offend or annoy anyone here as best I can.  I would appreciate the same.

He didn't play bad.  Yes took a bit to get warmed up.  Decent 1st half, lights out 2nd.  Have to take this performance with a grain  of salt because Calgary is bad but MBT is great when on.  Just inconsistent and has throw a lot of timely picks in the past.

I have lots of people on here that interact with me on a daily basis, like my posts and agree with me.  Someone even reach out on a PM to support me yesterday (Strev debate).  Yup I also rub people the wrong way.  My post volume is high and I post strong opinions so that's how is it and I'm fine with that.  Over generalizing imo.  Yes some don't like me on here.  We are all allowed to post what we want as long as it follows the rules.  If you post a strong opinion it will likely have a reply.

I don't have his 1st half stats, genuinely interested to know what they were if anyone has the ability to post that.

Yes no filter.  Here to voice my opinion and that's what we all come on here to do.

Please stop personally attacking me.  Please stop replying to my posts. Please stay on topic.  Please post about the CFL not me.  That would be much appreciated.

Proulx's announcements will live on down through CFL history.

The best were his "illegible receiver" calls!

Quote from: J5V on September 03, 2024, 10:58:47 AMHey, remember the movie BABY DRIVER? Remember how he recorded everything and made music mixes out of it? Someone needs to do that with Andre Proulx's iconic utterances.

If you haven't seen it yet.  Proulx sings Swift.  Ya, it's just some dude doing a bad accent, but it's pretty funny in terms of CFL in-jokes that the uber fans can appreciate.  There's 2 others too, if you check out his channel.

Maybe it's time for this guy to make another?

I think Proulx wins because of the accent and slightly incorrect English.  Ben was trying to be funny, which loses him some points.  Proulx is being dead serious!

We'll lose a national treasure when Proulx retires.
