Official GDT - Mtl vs Edm - Grey Cup

[Tecno]

EDM will win.

Why?  MTL has infinity better players on O (except RB), but EDM has the best DL that has proven it will kill even the most mobile QBs.  More importantly: EDM has the best SYSTEM who plays as a complete TEAM.  They take that ragtag garbage REC corps that only has 1 good player (Mack) and can move the ball as well as any team, partly due to Rankin, partly due to Cody's scrambles, and mostly due to that SSK-esque short game and balanced approach.

MTL is pinning the entire thing on Alexander performing a dozen miracles.  That's it.  By only dressing 1 RB (first time this season? excluding injury) they are proclaiming they are going 90% pass -- or more.  I guess they figure it's hopeless to try to run against EDM, as BC found out.

Spieker back gives them depth and he's the DNA so he can play 25 snaps taking a NAT off the field.  Ento's back to eat balls thrown to Mathis/KJG or Robustelli.

Ford lined up against Philpot will take him out of the equation, like BC also did.  I doubt Alexander is able to move by the end of the game.  And maybe even Cody gets hurt -- he takes way too many chances.  I think it would be hilarious if the game ends with Powell vs Crum -- find out who really is the Next Big Thing (if any!).

MTL will have to wait another year -- hopefully when we have won the West and can exact our revenge for '23 after we've hosed Cody in a WDF @PAS.

I'm also more on the Edmonton side.

I be watching it between NFL comtests.

NFL?!! This is Canada! Love it or leave it.

 

[Stats Junkie]

It has been 104 years since the Edmonton Elks played in a Grey Cup game.

[Waffler]

I am favoring Edmonton to win but Montreal could break it open with big plays. Neither would surprise me. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Should be one to remember.

Crowd will be in Edmontons favour. Fajardo's constant bickering of being disrespected is getting old, he's more of a whiner than anything now. Can't stand him or worse Alexander. Its the Whiner vs the Crybaby. First time in a long time I couldn't care who wins this game.

[Sway]

Unless MTL is gonna let Cody dink and dunk and run around for 90 yards rushing this shouldn't be close.

Haven't been impressed with Edmonton all year really.

With that being said   

Go Edmonton

Some how Alexander winning would be more annoying than Cody winning...again... and still doing his poor me schtick

[gobombersgo]

Fajardo constantly complains about the haters in interviews but Alexander is out of control during games.

I cant cheer for a guy that is complaining to the officials after every play that doesnt go his way.

hey Foxy you won't find another bigger CFL lover but I love football on both sides of the border. I don't let BS politics cloud my interests.

In fact I am bloody hell insulted by your comment. Take a breath man!

It has nothing to do with politics. (For the record I much prefer the party over there that at least promises more limited government.)

But our distinctive brand of football is one of the things I most cherish about Canada. Sure I have my own preferences when it comes to individual CFL teams, but to me it's still a case of us versus them when it comes to the CFL overall. I've been a hated enemy of the NFL and the Canadians who've submitted to U.S. sports imperialism since the 1980's when I came to realize that the NFL and other American sports were threats to the very survival of our own. And yes, that means I'm NO fan of the Blue Jays or Raptors who are of, for and by Americans.

The WOMAN and I now have nearly fifty CFL jerseys between the two of us and every one of them sports a Radically Canadian patch!





You therefore should NOT let team preferences inhibit celebrating the Grey Cup Game. That's wrong, very wrong.

I agree with the bolded 1000%.

With that said, Alexander is 10x more insufferable.

This is literally how I'm selecting who to cheer for.

All my CFL jerseys have the Radically Canadian patch and between The WOMAN and I we now have aboutfifty:

You don't even show up on here till the end of the year. You are entitled to your opinion but to not bother regularly participating on this forum year round until the end of the year and being quite bombastic is unwarranted.

Football is football. The Current CFL rules is a far superior brand but the NFL has better talent. There is still hitting, cutting, speed, sweet plays, etc...

It is your problem I suppose.
