😍😍😍

 

 

 

PR kickers around the league right now other than globals. If castillo wont come/get vaxxed, and medlock wont come, no one will trade a good one, and no other experienced nfl cut is available, id grab one of these guys and kick ali to the curb.

For all the "  Elks hung in there for a long time " talk from Suitor  this game could easily have  been  50-3.  The Bombers either need to bring in a legit kicker or hand in back to Leggio and let him learn on the job.

Dante Brown is Cdn and was drafted a few picks after Leggs. He has quite a resume. I said it before, pluck the guy away off Edm PR. It doesnt make sense for Edm to activate him. Plus for sure he wants to play for the defending champions.

Enough ******* around. Get a kicker.

Sunderland must be on the firing line here soon.

Yup and it sound like it’s more than his player management that’s the issue.

Definitely. 

But although I said it was for no particular reason, I said it for a particular reason.

Hooooo boy.

Colour me quizzical 

 

Watching this FG kicking, my gin leg was quivering.....

Some weird coaching from the Elks head coach tonight. One being knowing we have no place kicking to be found, take a chance and kick it out of the end zone and not give up safeties plus your D is playing fairly well. I get it but anything outside the 30 may only give up a point.

Yes the Bombers had excellent field position all night… not going to win many games the way they played tonight.

bad spot by the refs you can see his helmet and shoulder pads clear the line 

First thing I did when I got home was re-watch the goal line stand on the Bombers' first drive.  McGuire was 100% in... you could see on the replay with the overhead shot, even after he got pushed back a bit, the white stripe on the ball had clearly broken the plane of the goal line.

Just got back,its crazy that we can win very ugly but clobber the other team by almost 30. Clean up a few mistakes and we put up 50 but to get to 50 we need a damn kicker. I don't even know who we can go after,maybe Lapo will send us Ward before ottawa cans him or maybe offer Medlock something. Were literally only a kicker away from being one of the most dominant Bomber teams in our history,make it happen,Walters.

2001 did not feel like this.  We kept winning, but it didn’lt feel dominant.  This is like the the 80s. The Bombers I grew up with.  I was still worried everyone was too cocky.  Hard not to be. Defense.  Everyone. Harris. Demski. Eli.  The German.  I’m going to start flying to every game.

Alexander is such a beast and such a clean violent hitter. He’s becoming one of my favourite players.

Kongbo was outrun by Cornelius. WTF?

You must be forgetting he’s an athletic 6’5….

Great D, inconsistent O, Brutal kicking. A win is a win though.

Final score was a victory by 27 points. Entirely possible you won’t win many games when ending the game by 27 up. 

Milt says the Elks might be the worst team at this point, in the CFL. My group votes the Elks might have the worst helmets at this point, in the CFL. 
 

I know for a fact it’s bugger trying to keep your head turning while wearing antlers.

What an absolute butt kicking.... WOW!   It should of been 60 - 3 but I'll take the 30 - 3.  

Just need to sign a new kicker and everything else was perfect IMO.  

If I remember correctly, the last game that Legs did the place kicking, he missed a bit in the 1st half and then corrected in the 2nd half.  I actually thought they should have given him one more game to see if he had actually figured it out, but they went with Mourtada instead.

I think they should just give the job to Legs and I think he can handle it.

Reading this had me thinking of these guys:

Michael O'Shea vs a Hurricane - who would win??  "O'Shea, yeah O'Shea".  But....the name of the Hurricane is "Hurricane Michael O'Shea".....ok hmmm...."O'Shea".

Going with only 11 players on offense is start, but in order to keep the Elks within 100 points of the Bombers, perhaps Mr. Collaros should play the entire game in a lazy boy recliner....da Bombers!

So there's a group chat that has me, 17to85, a couple of old OB.com posters Coorsman and wessmitty, and another pal of ours...... And it's basically this post... Endlessly.

when you get beat twice by the redblacks you are the worst team.

I've been watching cfl ball for 38 years now and this is the worst Edmonton team in my memory.  I've never seen a completely disinterested Elkimo team before.  Heads should roll there in the offseason.

Not going to win many giving up 3 points?.. ahh ..ok

The fact that the Bombers can make so many errors and still walk away with a dominant victory should frighten the hell out of the rest of the CFL.

No…? Edmonton is not going to win many giving the field position they did

They were picked by the majority of writers/analysts to be the best team in the west too.
