Elks are not so LOLks as they once were... But I still believe they're overrated. They go as Justin Rankin goes. I do believe they're beatable.

Having said that, I don't think the Bombers are necessarily a very good team. We've sadly shown that too many times so far this season.

But, as always, I live on a hope and a prayer... For two points our way, no matter how it looks. Just find a way to win.

I predict before MOS reign is over, we will see an all LB defense.

I don’t expect a blow out, we usually manage to keep things pretty close for the vast majority of games.

And if we can convert some TDs instead of FGs, get some help from our ST (time for a Vaval take over game) and a turn over or two (wishful thinking but it can happen), we could surprise.

And if BC can beats Sask tomorrow, we got a stew going.

Any team led by Faj is not a great team... If Faj beats us, it's not because he did anything special. We will have had to totally **** up (as we did a few weeks ago) to lose to him.

Another hot take. Well done.

An even greater hot take. As always.

We struggled to put Ottawa away last week and benefited from a weird interception, a freaky injury and the goalposts taking potential points off the board. We shouldn't be talking **** about other teams.

Mack was a guy I desperately wanted the Bombers to target.

nah...we wanted to get No Touchdown Tommy and go 3 Canadians when we didnt have horses to go 2 barely...much better route.

so basically...Roster an effective receiving core...and use/roster playmaking defenders playing in an appropriate scheme...interesting...But that didnt happen...and likely wont happen...and the results will likely be not shocking

I am open to being dead wrong tho about this agenda of do nothing/change nothing/bench nobody actually/show and ask for no accountability and it turns into a Championship yr and will eat crow and give credit where its due and acknowledge all the "yeah but" crew....But I cant see it happening....actually no I know it wont happen without even the smallest of shifts

Noeller is as always delusional.

Fajardo has one move - the left spin

For the love of god, can someone just blow him up once?

False - they are a great team, just ask Fajardo himself!

'We're not a good team, we're a great team': Cody Fajardo...

The Edmonton Elks got back in the win column on Saturday afternoon, but their 30-point blowout of the Toronto Argonauts said more about the team than a regular notch on the belt. “After we just got ou

This is one of the things that bugs me about that guy. Always has to make sure everyone knows how fantastic he is. Thumping a sub .500 team makes you great? Guess they should just hand Montreal the GC after last night then.

Earlier in the year, he was going on about how a block he made was something only Hollywood could have come up with. Delusions of grandeur is an understatement with that guy.

Yeah one of his biggest knocks..just keep his pie hole shut..and the whining

He is the classic all smiles and jokes when it's going well but when it's not fingers are pointing and he's liable to trip on his own lower lip

All of th above... When they're doing well it's because if him. When they're doing poorly, it's anyone else's fault. That's Faj in a nutshell. And you can't sit there and watch him floating balls out into the flat and think "now THATS a great QB"... He has such a noodle arm, it's incredible he isn't picked off more. He's so lucky to Mack and Rankin...

So, if Fajardo beats us tonight & plays well. what's the excuse gonna be from the minions here, "Oh, he got lucky?" Man, certain people just get bent over the things he says. He won't be the first player to have a high opinion of himself & won't be the last. Look at Davis Alexander. Cut from the same cloth. What has he won?

Must be hard for some here to wrap their head around the fact Fajardo beat us in the last few seconds to win a Grey Cup. What's our excuse? We had none. We couldn't hold a lead for another twenty seconds. We have a head coach who flaps his gums all the time saying that all our problems are easily fixable. Which are nothing but lies. That's okay.

I'm worried if we lose MOS is going to up it to 11 linebackers next week.

And 7 55 yard field goals

I'm prepared to be angry and disappointed all at the same time. Good thing I have a cooled supply of Big Rock in the fridge.

Oh and I've been stretching my neck so I'm prepared for all the head shaking I'm about to do!

Also, Fajardo is a 10 year vet, a Grey Cup champion, but has a career high of 18 passing TDs. He’s passed for 4000 yards once in his career. It’s ok to admit that he needs the support of a good team around him to be successful. He’s not and has never been the guy who drags a team on his back.

It sucks being the underdog but here we are. Can only hope for the upset.

5/5 CFL panel going with the Elks, maybe that's a good sign

O line better do a better job protecting Collaros tonight or they may be scaping him off the turf tonight

Demski still making catches downfeild
