C’mon GG, we know you’re upset with the Whyte discussion in last night’s game thread but give it a rest. There was only one guy arguing about which was the better “clutch” 3 pointer, not the entire community. One player has an impressive reccord of making longer “clutch” FG’s the other has an impressive all-time percentage. You can argue till the cows come home but in the end its just opinion and comparing apples and oranges.

I don’t care for other teams or other team’s players becoming topics of game threads not involving them but I wouldn’t suggest that Bomber fan"s" nor “every game topic” is accurate. Hence the appeal to let it go.

I thought this topic was going to be about Ottawa at Edmonton but it’s all Bombers?
What’s happening to our moderators these days, not only letting stuff like this happen but they are no longer biased and often political.

Well, to change the topic, it looks like the crowd will be larger in Edmonton this time. I know that Ottawa could use the win but I am pulling for Edmonton to get into the win column in front of the home crowd.

Yea :zany_face: no kidding Dibs you’re right. The Great “GIG” in The Sky alongside Fairies Wear Boots. I saw it with my own two eyes.

I like both teams but I think Dru Brown as long as he stays healthy for this game is further along than the Elks. That O-Line is super dicey though.

If Ford doesn’t look good in the first half I think that it will be time to give Cody a shot. That being said Tre needs some help like receivers catching the ball, the Oline keeping the D off his back and better play calling by the OC. You can’t hand the ball off on every first down.

I think that this is as tough a game to call as any this week.

I picked the Elks because I thought they looked much improved last week and are very desperate and at home. I did that before it was clear that Brown would start. Still I think Ford is improving and due for a really good game while Brown will still be hurting and as you say has a weak OLine. I didn’t change my pick, which usually doesn’t work anyway, would I be shocked if Ottawa won? No.

How many times can you kick Tre in the nards before he gives up on this team & bolts at his first opportunity? Cody is no long term solution. After suffering through the years of Chris Jones’s lack of faith to do that again to Ford might well destroy is confidence entirely. Sit him for a bit if you must but he has to know he’s still the future in EE land. If he’s not, well you guys will be starting from scratch. Again.

Truly hoping for an Elks win today. This team and it’s fans deserve it!

Well, I am not in the pool this year… would have been 0 for 3 so far this week in any case… and I picked Ottawa to win the 4th game. We shall see if I go perfectly this week.

Still 90 minutes away tick tick tick
Let’s get the rain out of the way and on with the show, folks.

It’ll be interesting who is on the TSN panel tonight, including who will have a break after three days at it.

Lots of rain last night, so the field is sloppy. Fumbles and bad footing could be a little bit of a factor. Looks like the ground game would be most significant
