Field will be wet otherwise the game should be CFL who knows what is going to happen. First win on tap for Edmonton?
Gotta figure the Elks are going to break through. Finally. Wishing them luck.
The schedule is wacky. A long layoff for the Elks, then they play at home. More sensible for Elks to travel to Ottawa. Elks next 3 games are battle for the basement against Ottawa then Hammer. I am mostly interested in the attendance.
I picked the Elk for this game… Do Not Let me down… Please
It is hard to tell but the pregame sales look the best that they have looked compared to the other games that the Elks have played at home this season.
I am looking forward to this game. I think that it is going to be a pretty competitive one.
Amazing football plays take place in every game so far. I am trying not get my expectations up at any given point in a game - less than 60 seconds later the other team starts heading down the highway with who knows what is about to happen next.
Come on Edmonton, don’t mess this up. Conditions are perfect for your first win of the season.
I hope they get well past the 20,000 mark.
I’m feeling it - Edmonton finally breaks through tonight!
Should be a beautiful evening for football. 23 C, had showers this morning and pop up showers north and east of us this afternoon, wind right now is 16 to 28 km/h out of the Northwest and is expected to be “light” by game time.
IF the wind stays where it is @BetweenTheGoalposts, look for the north end to be the tricky end for kickers and punt returners. Don’t trust the flags on the north (video screen) end tonight…
Should be able to tune in to the game shortly after it starts. Looking forward to chatting with the community after a rough day.
Hopefully we get a good game with plenty of great special teams play!
Come on Morgan…make the hit - make a tackle…
Good play calling for the Redblacks on the opening drive leads to a FG. 3-0 Ottawa
Brown looking decent. Thought he would play with urgency as his hold as a starter could be in jeopardy if he doesn’t.
Yeesh, 2 long ones, and not close on either. So much for that drive for Edm
I was thinking the same thing- but MBT slinging it inaccurately down the field is not a promising way to start, especially after the nice drive that the OTTRBs put together for the FG.
On the other hand, MBT struggles out of the gate. Missed a wide open Mayala for what would likely have been at least a 20 yard gain.
First pass by MBT was way off the mark. Crowd looks pretty small too. Darn.
