I was hoping we were targeting him in FA

They really like Eli tho and what he does overall....and he likes it here and wont hold them over the coals SMS wise so I doubt they get rid of him for any reason...And I still think he takes over center....Overall team benefit/value it just makes sense and there wont be any major drop off...I liked we ran 2 TE sets with him and Danial's with both running out doing outs into the flats at the same time...Be interesting once we start using that I curious tho about Practice report/injury report today...if we get any and what we may do at linebacker.....Woodbey for sure is out and I know Smith went out after his big special teams hit and never came back to play, but stayed dresssed...likely precaution as he got his bell rung on the hit. If he is good to go I wonder if we replace Woodbey with another dline guy, or go the WR route? Also Hoping Dixon is OK as he was starting to get in a groove/rythm, but that being said if Fletcher can come on in early games...and make it too difficult to pull him then could easily see him and Dixon on roster. We dont need another LB on with Ayers...Wilson...Jones..griffin...Shay...SMith....and I thik the reason we saw so much Kelly is because he is the backup to Smith so was taking Smith's defensive reps

eli has missed a lot of tc, he isnt 100% yet, plus rust and need to get into game shape. by the time he is where he needs to be, it will likely be too late to get a starting spot imo. We have the two kids rights in the nfl, with a pretty good chance of atleast one being here mid season. We’ve already given up on rando, so writing is gonna be on the wall for the likes of eli.

I did not receive the error message this time!

Everybody would take Mack.

The Grey Cup this season is on November 15th in Calgary. Next year it will be a week earlier.

Referring to the current schedule. GC is at the end of November.

Midpoint of November will mean a week after the GC is played. Cold weather isn't really an issue. I still say that fans will sit in cold or bad weather if there is something on thre line late in the season. They sure won't early when there are still 17 games left.

It’s a dry cold.

Meeeeee toooooo...... Couldn't get to our spots via Warner and had to settle for some mediocre Plan B's..... Siiiiiiiiigh.

By the midpoint of November, we had that in MB some days. But then, we still had snow in May Plenty of -20C in November. And too much snow for ice fishing with a truck all winter, so I'm salty. 😁

I’ve got you all right where I want you

Picks this week need to be in by Thursday @ June 11 You will likely still see the error after making your picks this week, I haven't had time to look into it. Same with making the number of people who voted visible. Right now I can see them, so it might be a quick permissions fix, but will dig into it when I can find the time. One more thing for me to dig into, is properly embedding these spreadsheets. If you click this link, you can see the results and what you've picked. But I will also include a screenshot for now.

It’s a different wind tho. ;)

-18 with a wind isn't that unusual

That was the first game this week where both teams were bad. Like both Ottawa and Edmonton have big holes to fill. They can probably compete with the Winnipeg Calgary Montreal Hamilton of the league but, In the end, Edmonton and Ottawa will lose more than they win. Cuz for us much as maybe complain at times, I’d take Rankin and Mack on the bombers and maybe a linebacker or 2 but that’s it. They got some holes to fill. Ottawa? It’s a rebuild there it appears but with a bad QB but the bad QB wasn’t really the biggest problem.

I’ll just say this, generally in the sports that do these kinda play in playoffs like basketball and others, the bad teams still lose their games. The better teams win overall. Some teams get help from a pro wrestling vampire like character and don’t lose again. And honestly the idea I think makes sense as if I hear playoff game as a fan I think it’s more important and it likely means there’s a higher chance I pay money to go see the playoff game. Look at Hamilton and Ottawa this past week. They were half empty or half full, maybe if that’s aplayoff game it’s full cuz maybe there is no next week. I don’t think you can say cfl needs more revenue then go no not that way. I dunno. Again, I think you said it in another post, gotta give the changes a chance.

Not saying he's the answer but losing wasn't all on him. The RedBlacks look just as bad as they always have. That secondary was awful.

The season starts with four games left? Okay but you realize some teams have two byes in Sptember & October... The playoff change is dumb as a sack of hammers. Winning is too easy??? Johnson should suit up & try it.

Eli has been here 5 6 seasons. I think he is what he is at this point. Lots of us didn’t think Eli would be starting. In reality they decided kolo was the better center option than Eli. I think ppl need to accept that maybe Eli just isn’t a starting oline. Other than cuz ppl online said so, what makes you think after 5 6 seasons of backing up the worst center in the league that he’d be better than the dude he was backing up. Maybe just maybe, crazy thought, the OL coach Marty, maybe he knows why Eli isn’t starting and really hasn’t in his career. I’ll let ppl pretend they know linebackers or DBs or receivers but fans pretending to be oline gurus? Cmon man gotta draw the line somewhere.

Same here. You just have to grow up in the West to know spring sucks. When was the last time it was as cold as the 1991 Grey Cup in November in Winnipeg? The temp on kickoff that day was minus 18 & the windchill was close to minus 30-35. With climate change temps like that aren't as prevalent as decades past. Not to say that we won't ever be as cold as that again but it will be the exception & not the rule.

I didn’t think winter was cold. Just more snow than the last few years combined and now it’s plus 40 again June 7 making it feel tropical rain Forrest like but with tornado warnings. That seems worse than October to me.

One of the things I appreciated was that Elsbury played better than initially feared, and even Pat Neufeld played better without having to cover for Kolankowski. Elsbury is not an all-star (yet) and I wonder why Eli was good enough to come in for several plays (and did well) but not good enough to start at center. We do need to upgrade the linebacking, though.

This past fall / winter begs to differ. But I agree with what you guys are saying about winter vs. spring
