Mark H. Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 A fair assessment all around - not to mention short and to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was surprised to see us ranked ahead of BC but I'll take it. Wow #3. Pretty lofty! Would sure like to see someone wipe that smirk off BLM's face and it would be nice if it was us in, say, the Western Final (you heard it here first).

TBURGESS Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'd switch us and BC around, but the rest looks good. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yes, I like us being positioned so high but I don't understand the thinking behind rating us ahead of a team that has beaten us...with all else being equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 How about this ... Did you know @EdmontonEsks have won more games than any other club. Going into '17 they are 659-486-18 for .575 mark, #1 all-time #Canada150 Any ideas why this is? Is it the oil money? Is it the fans? Some unknown intangible? Whatever it is, I wish we had more of it. I'm happy where we are now but man, we have been awful for a very long time while a team like Edm just seems to roll along year after year producing good to great teams. When I was growing up in Wpg it was the era of Ray Yauch, Tom Wilkinson, Dave Cutler, and after that Warren Moon, Gizmo Williams, and Tommy Scott over in Edm. Always tough to play against and here they are, a great team again. How do they do it year after year and why haven't we been able to? Looking forward to that pendulum swinging our way for a while.

WBBFanWest Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) So, my question is this; How many extra points do we get in the standings due to our power ranking? None? Then who cares, really.

You forget that in Reilly's first two years in Edm. they were as bad or almost as bad as the Bombers so it hasn't been continuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most of the media is just not cutting it. For example, I used to look forward to Ed Tait's training camp reports with my coffee during lunch break. Stuff like that is just not happening anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Clickbait would be "CFL Week 8 Power Rankings.... you won't BELIEVE who we ranked #6!!" and then you have to click through to a new page for each team in the power rankings.

I hope he's at least paying Rich to advertise his blog here. I have a problem with people who only use these message boards for their own gain in that regard.

If he was even a semi-active poster and contribute to the site by adding comments, thoughts, etc with some dialog here, that would buy him a lot more leeway with these grumpy old men.
