As much as it would be great to see the Elks win and break that losing streak as well as get rid of the goose egg in the win column, I expect a win by the Lions tonight - even with Evans. He can be good if he hangs on to the ball and makes good decisions.

Send a lb or db blitz every play vs Evans he will force throws into coverage or fumble

Yes Evans doesn’t do too well when pressured.

Elks are doing that, 4 sacks already. Last two with 3 man pressure.

EE defense is definitely playing well and limiting the BC offense. But that DPI call cost them a TD

Elks shut out through 6 quarters now vs. BC this year. Tonight doesn’t seem like it’s going to the steak buster

With any luck they could get a FG - if they can get close enough and stop shooting themselves in the foot with penalties - or even a punt single

Long time eskies fan who recently moved here. Sad to see the state this team is in. I’m sorry but i have to blame the big boss for this team. Not sure but has this team won a game since Victor started running the joint? Has this guy been vetted? The only info i can find from the last job he had says that his company, One Championship, had nearly $400 million in loses when he left in 2021.

Everything that has happened with this team since he took over has been a disaster and it ain’t getting any better.

3 penalties this drive alone plus a lost challenge.

Edit TD making it 23-0

Elks can’t win an intra squad game at this rate

God love those fans in Edmonton that still show up. That is loyalty. It looks like there might actually be over 15,000 there. It is truly brutal.

What I’ve learned from listening to the Punjabi broadcast. The Punjabi word for touchdown is touchdown.

I heard if you bought a ticket for the first game, you get free tickets for every game until they win.
They might end up with season tickets at this rate.

TSN just showed McAdoo. He really is an offensive coordinator.

That is funny. I think that you are right. As I said, God love them for showing up…ticket purchase or not.

They did sell a limited number of tickets under the “guaranteed win” promotion that allow the purchaser to continue to attend games until they win. I have to wonder how many of those people are continuing to show up. The hard core fans are still showing up - got to admire that loyalty.
