Personally hoping Riders do not clinch playoffs this week. A Rider win and a Bomber loss keeps slim hope for first place alive…. If nothing else it adds to an exciting finish for first. I believe the WBB need to loose all the remaining games and the Riders need to win out. The WBB do have a tough schedule. The Riders have the easier finish to the schedule. Riders will need to stop Leeke who pummeled the Riders at Mosaic.

Bombers have a tougher schedule but their last game is against Montreal, who already have nothing to play for. I think Montreal liberally subs in players for much of that game.

even if they don’t, Montreal isn’t going to call a creative game plan.

As an Esks fan for over 50 years I can honestly say have no interest in watching the game today. How on earth you feel a 0 and 7 QB is better to win than Tre is amazing. Tre in the off season ask for a trade these coaches are useless

He would look great in Rider :green_heart: Green

He doesn’t have to ask for a trade. He is a free agent at the end of the year. He can go wherever anyone is willing to have him.

Looking forward for a great game

As sure as my name is Bom1980 the Edmonton Elks get the win as they easily handle those riders who struggle year after year for consistency in the CFL. Watch out riderville, the Edmonton Elks are coming to take away your imaginary playoff hopes🤪.

Well if they do I will have one extra dram of good 12 year old single malt.
If the Riders win I will have a dram or two of 20 year old single malt and not so silently chuckle at the one drive troll here.

It the the same assurance as you stating in another thread that the Lions have clinched a playoff spot?

Someone please tell me that Andre Proulx has already done a game this week and won’t be officiating this game.

The Elks could easily win today’s game, but even if that happened they are the ones with imaginary playoff hopes compared to the Riders. They need a perfect storm of miracles in order to make the playoffs.

While not gospel the CFL simulator has the Riders at over 98% to make the playoffs and the Elks at over 5%. Back to back losses pretty much did them in. I’m not sure how you see the Elks overtaking the Riders for a playoff spot, but if you are sure I suggest you lay as much as you can on them to do so. The payoff would be astronomical.

Stranger things have happened.
But I saw also that 1.2% chance for the Stamps.
There must much gnashing of teeth, tearing of robes and consternation and other goings on in the officialdom of that organization.

Edmonton Elks rookie Head Coach cost the Elks with his blundering blunders. Oh well, no big deal as my Montreal Alouettes are ramping up for another Grey Cup Championship.

I guess you have to change your name now.
