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.

It's still behind him. 

For those keeping track, the single game record for most penalty yards by a single team is 265 by Hamilton whilst playing against Winnipeg on July 9, 1992

Here ya go.

 

not much to like about this game, other than the Calgary qb.

 

So do you include some of these penalties in the game highlight package or what? Definitely impactful, but not the typical 'exciting' part of a CFL game.

Wow , what a game !

How does Montreal think they scored is my question. the ball clearly didn’t cross the line man!

Khari knew. 

VAJ , looked like Nealon Greene tonight

Important questions, who are the top half teams now?

How undisciplined was Montreal tonight,   jeeze numerous times where mentally they made terrible decisions that lead to penalties and points for Calgary.     Davis Sanchez was dead on with his assessment on Montreal in saying that winning teams don't take mindless penalties and how he shitted all over VAJ for sucking.

Vernon Adams is a guy who hucks and chucks and hopes his receivers makes the plays.   How many times did he throw balls into double or triple coverage? 

Also why did Montreal stop putting the heat on Maier?  Jeeze they went soft and gave the guy his confidence back with the time in the pocket and he did well.  

Calgary just played disciplined football and didn't blow me away with anything they did.  I do like our chances next week and lets see how Maier handles getting pressured on every down rather then once every series....

Montreal went into this game overconfident. It showed when they got down & started taking dumb penalties because things didn't go their way. They thought they wouldn't lose.

Montreal took a giant step..............backwards in that one.  Brain dead football from the QB, right on down, the line....

Agree. The Stumps tried to let the Als back into the game, but Adams had little time and his receivers had dropsies.

I think I would cut Bray after that game... he's done this in the past as well where he absolutely stinks up the joint.  

Adams did have time but mentally made some bad choices.  

Tony Washington's chop block on Terell Owens was cringworthy. About as dirty as it gets & it was intent to injure. He was pissed off that he got a penalty. Didn't show any remorse. He should have been ejected. I hope he tears his knee open.

Shouldn't he be fined for that?   Bo Levi gave him an ear full and the dudes face looked super guilty while getting scolded.

A fine & a long term suspension. In the CFL that's $500 & 2 games. Oh wait, it can be appealed & he can play until the arbitrator makes a decision. 

I have never wished for a player to be injured but after I saw what Washington did to Owens & his pissed off reaction shaking his head??? What goes around, comes around.

The league has to come down hard on him this week.
