Just in case anyone wants a little "Morning After" pick me up.... https://www.cfl.ca/2017/08/18/recap-winnipeg-33-edmonton-26/

I believe it was 38. And only 1 (!!!) 2-and-out all game....

Was a brutal non call on the hold. Refs botched that one bad.

This is a BIG point worth keeping in mind....

Harris was all world....definite first star. Nichols was close behind.....second star. Everything else is a saw off....Coates was great. HH to Mike Miller who was a beast on teams all night. Definitely don't think Carmichael was nearly as bad as people want to say.

there we go....that's exactly who it was. Man, we drank a lotta whisky that night....

Oooooff.....Hefney hit...........someone..........it wasn't still Tucker was it? He was already out by then, I thought........but it was a receiver for sure....

In 2011, Bombers and Esks were both around 5-0 I think (something like that...) and met early in that season. We won at home that night, I believe. This game feels a lot like that....

You said RNH is riding shotgun with McJesus this year, right? I wanna see the kid put up 90+......he's still an elite offensive talent, but asking him to concentrate more on defense the last couple of years hindered his stats. If he's all in on offense by playing finisher for 97, he can still put up HUGE points...

Love "Fort Hew"......that is amazing and needs to become a thing....... Also, re: Blocking an Esks FG into their own uprights to get the -3.........I wouldn't put it past Derek Jones....... #JustSayin

oh well then I change my answer....

the only thing that looks far better is their record. If you watch the games, they're actually worse....having said that, it's because of injuries. At full health, there's no doubt that's a great team. But they're down to like 3rd and 4th stringers in some cases....that roster, as of now, is not a good team. They've been getting by, by beating Hamilton and Ottawa and Montreal (6 of their 7 W's)

Again, he said "viewed" as elite......that's the key there. Quality of their opponents be damned, their record is how the outside world is seeing the Esks this year...

I'd argue vehemently Edmonton isn't that team this year.......they might be VIEWED that way, but they sure as hell aren't, in reality...

the ironing is delicious.....

He beat Edmonton one year ago, to start our run....

*Kelvin......and he sure was.

BLM seriously hasn't rushed for ONE yard this year? How is that even possible....?

It’s about the locker room, the day-in and day-out and what we go through, how we battle and how we execute… it’s on us in the film room afterward. “It’s going to be a battle. And we don’t really care what people are saying about us.” -- Andrew Harris

If we could ever find a way to lock down Jeffcoat, Walker and Thorpe to (relatively, per CFL standards) long-term deals, that'd be a huge coups...

Unfortunately we have to wait another week as they're on the bye....

I would guess the defensive tendency in that situation is to sit defenders down on the 1st down marker, and take that away...so a lot of the time, only the underneath routes are available. Now, again, nothing is ever 100% the same all the time, but.....
