If we are up by three TD’s late in the third or fourth, we might see Dru Brown getting meaningful playing time. 

This game will be closer than people think. We were dominant last year, and they were still close against the Elks.

Not really. One game was decided by 7. The two others were by 15 and 27.

We should win but teams will always bring their A game against us, and they’re at home so I expect it to be a relatively close game. 

Yeah i think it will be closer than it should be. Lawler and Jones will have them fired up at home to end their winless streak against the champs.

27-20 Bombers

I have little respect for the Elks' team and coaches, so 28-9 Blue. The only thing keeping this from being a blowout is all the owies we have on defence.

Really? For some reason I remember those games being harder to close.

Special Teams is a concern but I'm sure they tightened things up.  Punt and FG protection was a mess last week.

We have some significant injuries that I think will keep this game close, but I still expect us to win. I think our first loss comes in Calgary next week, heading into the bye. This one we sneak away with....

hope not a jinx, but not going to be close.

 

"And now, seven weeks into the 2022 Canadian Football League regular season, the Edmonton Elks are into double digits when it comes to quarterbacks under new head coach and general manager Chris Jones, who brought former Montreal Alouettes pivot Ben Holmes onto the practice squad Sunday.

And it’s fitting he’s wearing No. 11, because that’s how many players have been part of the Elks QB stable under Jones, in some way, shape or form, beginning with the short-lived signing of Ohio State product J.T. Barrett in January, who got injured playing elsewhere in March, followed shortly thereafter by the release of Dakota Prukop from the Elks roster on Feb. 14."

the player management of elks is nonsensical.

Who are the Eskimos?  😜

I can't see how with the turnover that happens weekly on the Elks, that this game can be close. But usually when I have those kind of thoughts I'm completely wrong.

I'll be very impressed if Corny is able to put up 20 against this D

As long as we play our game, we'll do all right.  If we stoop to the level of the Elks, we may be screwed.

It'll be his mobility that will give the defence problems .. especially with Jeffcoat out.   That said, he still has playmakers out there.  If we can win more of those 50/50 battles than not, this won't shouldn't be a close game.

Curious to see who'll primarily be matched up with Lawler and how that battle goes. Montreal couldn't keep from taking PIs last week. Hopefully we're able to stay more disciplined while still providing adequate cover...

Lawler is going for 100+ but we’re still winning by two scores or more

When u have recievers playing/backing up at safety and corner...hello Dbag Carter and Simoneses... under sized guys on dline cause the coach tried to be smartest guy in room....a 4th string QB that's shown zip...and 10 lineup changes from last game...I don't have a lot of concern other than playing smart and disciplined ball...and no dumb penalties....we do that..it's never in question even missing 6 starters

too bad, no laughs courtesy of the mighty flex, 🤡 32🦨

 

..... Malik Irons playing, be interesting to see that. 

 

There was a game, v. elks , maybe last season, where the "flex"  comments here were almost as entertaining as the game itself.

Elk hunting season is open.

I actually think this will be the teams best rushing game of the year.
