GDT - the Ford bro's vs the other Twin

[Booch]

Elks get smoked...but we hear all about Ford in the loss

[Noeller]

Trying to figure out if Monreal is actually as good as they appear....

[Booch]

I think it's still TBD.. need to see them against a team with a QB

Ya they haven't faces much yet....

Gotta love the Edmonton linebackers celebrating all their tackles after Montreal first downs.

[Noeller]

LOLks might go oh fer this year... **** is this team smelly.

That's my dream scenario for Sideshow Ed.

I wonder how impotent the Edmonton O has to get before Fajardo is tossed out there.

It sure feels like it's not far off. As bad as I want Ford to be something, it side doesn't feel like he has any clue what to do from the pocket...

He isn't anywhere close to being enough of a threat with his arm to sustain any kind of consistent production for an offense.

Doesn't look like the Elks as constructed are going to be bringing in any more fans than are there tonight

[Booch]

Yeah...that was a major roll of dice thinking he was more than a sandlot qb

[Nolby]

Its only a matter of time before Fajardo takes over, Ford isnt starting material.

Fans? Looks like friends, families and girlfriends only at the game. The Elks organization leaves a lot to be desired. Stamps are just as bad. Are there no CFL fans in Alberta?

[JuranBoldenRules]

If the Jets ever make a Stanley Cup Final it will cost 2.5x the cost of my season ticket.

I can't imagine there's any cash left in Edmonton after the Oilers going two years in a row....plus this team is ******* terrible.

Some.... But not a lot of diehards. A LOT of Fairweather, part time sports fans in AB. A lot of people with blank jerseys. 

[bustamente]

That's a bad challenge.

Former Special Teams coach learning on the fly as a HC, but he needed to keep his flag in his pocket on that penalty

[Noeller]

I thought it was a pretty soft PI, personally...

[Bomber_fanaddict]

What’s with the super weird angled stripes in the end zone?

Nah that's a pull through.  The DB is completely out of the play, no idea where the ball is, grabs the arm and pulls himself back level with the receiver.

That's one of the most blatant PI's you'll see.

Good penalty to take though because they prevented the TD which would have been scored without the PI.

Not sure why Kilam felt he had to burn his challenge on it though.

I realize that Commonwealth is a huge stadium but that crowd is an embarrassment. How can the team, and I'll add the Stamps, too, stay in business with or without fair weather fans. Throw in the Argos and all those empty seats disguised as fans at Mosaic and I think the league is in deep trouble. It seems like it always is but this time......

[Noeller]

It's bad, there's no question... Alberta is a weird sports province. They think they're Toronto and just want NFL, MLB, NHL, UFC...

[Mike]

Good thing Edmonton spent all that money on D

[bustamente]

Looks like it's going to be a long season for the Elks, they brought in a lot of new Canadian talent but did it warrant starting 10 tonight

[Bigblue204]

Badly under thrown ball by Ford....worse effort from the Rec to make a play on it.
