Will Edmonton win their first game of the season?

Bede is getting his walking papers.

Wow 🤣🤣 if there was ever a million dollar arm, 10 cent brain analogy/comparison when it came to kicking, it would be Boris Bede.

 

Wonder if Chris Jones finally just got fired?

Good for Dyce.  As for Jones...

Dru Brown almost 500 yards.

Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
You gotta lose...one more time

451 plus for brown. 3 receivers over 100. That’s impressive 

Impressive but against the worst team in probably 10 years. 

Bede is a good kicker,idk maybe the wind caught or something...

Why anyone would tell Bede to squib kick there is beyond me....tell him to pound the **** out of it and get the 1 point....he can get it to the endzone. 

Idiotic play by him....but that was horrible coaching. Jones should be gone tonight.

Brown clutch at the end.

Boris and the Elks. Yikes.

Elks are the most creative team in the league.......in a perverse way.

Age, skill set, familiarity of the system....never should have let him out the door - and I'll always be a "Zach guy" to the very end.

Bede has a very strong leg. I dont think he's that accurate though.

Jones may not get fired until they switch to private ownership.

 

Jones likes making insane moves... can we dump some of our veteran crap for Ford?

Big game hunter.  Always has to a hot hand vs the Elks.

Hamilton vs. Edmonton in a couple weeks might be the best toilet bowl game in awhile in the CFL. Both teams can make plays but have zero defense.

And why didnt Edmonton let the clock run down on 3rd down? They could have avoided Ottawa getting the ball back.

Yeah the whole sequence there should have brought them down to 0 by 3rd down.  Really poor game management all around.

Also should have had Bede HAMMER the kickoff and force Ottawa to make a play to avoid the game winning rouge.

Brown's contract ends the same time as Zach's... Brown's contract ends the same time as Zach's..........

Edm is bad. Like bad bad. And they hitched themselves to a guy who they can’t fire and just doesn’t seem to give AF. Feel bad for Edm fans. Will they win a game this year?

We ask that every year.

So, I know where you're going with this. Then we get into the same problem we have now. We overpaid for Brady. Overpaid for Zach. We overpaid for Schoen. Overpaid for Lawler. Overpaid for Bighill. Overpaid for BA. Sure, those contracts will be off the books by the end of 2025 but... to sign Brown we'll have to outbid Ottawa & every other CFL team. Would we do that? If we did, then we have one more player who is now overpaid & chances are will also have 3 or 4 more that will need new contracts as well. Now, we're up against the cap again like we are now. We'll have to let some promising players go.

Unfortunately his coach (Jones) threw Bede under the bus by making a point of blaming that decision completely on him. Not a great way to get people to work for you and give a little extra, probably one of the main reasons Elks tend to lose so many close games.

Maybe that's the plan.  Jones is looking to buy a team cheap and driving the Elks into oblivion is one way.

Historically he's been a little erratic but last year he was money. Like 95% on field goals and his punting was outstanding.

Bede is such a good kicker, Edmonton musta messed up his head. Insane finish to the game. 

If Jones gets canned there could be a fire sale in Edmonton. I’d trade for Achempong or Noah Curtis for sure.

It can’t be the crowd doing it. He’s used to kicking I front of 12 people. Must be the Chris Jones effect.
