elks v lions... Edmonton team site:

• Despite the Elks 0-2 start, they enter the night averaging the second most yards per game in the CFL at 371. That’s second only to BC, who is the lone club to average over 400 yards per game (409).
• Former Edmonton QB Michael Reilly’s troublesome throwing elbow hasn’t equaled incompletions. Reilly leads the CFL in completion percentage at 75.4 per cent.
• Trevor Harris comes into the game as the CFL’s leading passer with 566 yards, just ahead of Reilly’s 545 yards.
• LOL Harris.

Maier back to work, making quick decisions, delivering with timing and accuracy until he's let down by his RB.

that's too bad, this game is shaping up to be a gooder. 

Back to back times his rbs let him down in the red zone. Brutal. Kid can play. He's raw but vaj is making him look good. 

Ya its good especially by early week standards. 

Team that wins the rushing game prolly wins the game. 

Another ugly wabble ball

what offside? weird.

 

wake up als o.

man I do not like to see a RB moving laterally on short yardage ... low reward, high-risk move.

Stanback turns zero yards into four yards in the scrum.  hoss.

Didn't actually bang his hand though. At least not on the throw they slow mo replayed where he was favouring it 

9/20 for 127 1 TD 1 INT

players seem less disciplined too.  that lions / elks game was hard to watch.  and Mtl just gave the Stamps an extra life on their side of midfield.  terrible untimely penalty at the most critical time so far in the game.

Enjoying how the Stamps radio announcer keeps pronouncing Exume as 'exhume' as in the following example:

In order to continue the investigation against the Saskatchewan farmer, they needed to exhume the chicken corpse to determine if foul play occurred

yeah they sure do.

very nice job making the Als pay for that bonehead RTP, Mr. Maier.

 

there was an interesting stat a few years ago .. chances of scoring a TD go up radically on a drive where the defence commits a major foul.  that automatic first down and +15 really juices a drive.

Maymay out playing vaj eh

Alford running through blackberries.  Nice coverage.

Fun fact:

The french word for 'choke' is étouffer

good thing Schlitz is not a receiver

2nd and five, give it to Stanback fer chrissakes

That was an absolutely superb and gutsy call with a rookie qb in there

I would call that playing to win vs. Playing not to lose. 

This Als team is more undisciplined than politicians obeying the 'travel advisory' for 2020 Christmas season

Full value to Maier but good lord montreal is giving him a lot of chances.  Full on self destruction and terrible penalties.  K. Jones has his work cut out for him, his team's mind ain't right, they're coming apart at the first sign of trouble.
