Here's an interesting Twitter quote from their 1st round draft pick (5th overall)

Ese Mrabure-Ajufo ‏@emrabajufo99

They didn't say it was gonna be easy. They didn't say it would be this degrading and humiliating either #ChinUpKiddo

Mrabure-Ajubo was just de-activated and placed on the PR.

Here's how the other 1st rounders have fared so far this year:

The most surprising element in this game so far? That awesome back flip from 6'2" Manny Arceneaux!

Matty calling Chris Cuthbert "CC".   Don't like it.  

Can't make up my mind which team to cheer for in this game.  Is it better for the Bombers to let Edm. run away, or put BC down?  In all honesty I would rather face Cgy. in the playoffs than Edm. with Reilly.

cc = chris carter

How was that not a horse collar tackle?  Bighill had Nichols by the shoulder pads preventing him from getting the first down.

Lulay just not getting it done anymore, BC better start planning for his replacement.

Oops...spoke to early.  Still a sucky performance.

Jones with another idiotic decision, gambles on 3rd and 4 instead of trying the 48 yd. FG.  Game over.

Guess all us working stiffs can thank jones for not kicking the field goal to send the game to overtime.

Well 0-1 due to Jones stupidity...why onside kick when yer up two scores... Smh.

Or not kick a 48er..

Anyone notice that the best D coach in the league has Cauchy starting at S?  Makes you wonder.

-Over their last 4 games, Edmonton opponents have averaged only 234 net yards and just 7.8 offensive points per game. Mind you those games were Ottawa -twice , Winnipeg without Drew, and Sask with a rookie QB.

 

 

Also two rain games. They're good but not record setting good.

Jones screwing up (though he's too arrogant to admit it) was funny. I loved it. I also loved how Matty called that interception. Just classic. 

Grant Shaw 6 for 6 - dating back to last year.

Grant Shaw 12 for 12 - before last night's game.

Grant Shaw 3 for 3 - for the game in BC

Grant Shaw - "Sit down, I got this" - Chris Jones..

It's just what you would expect from that guy.

Jones is absolutely full of himself. 

Edmonton made some big mistakes. Lulay found his deep ball range and avoided the rush time after time. Harris had a huge game. Fun game to watch right down to the wire.

 it's fun to see the coaches going for it in these situations, instead of the predictable plays.

 

Seen more fake kickoffs, fake punts, and so on this year, than usually happen in an entire season. sometimes it works… like Ticats the other day.

 

That was a great play.

 

I like this new attitude of the coaches.

 

Jones doesn't bother me at all. Seems to be a really good coach too.

I think that was a dumb call by Jones. I get the risk/reward thing but even if you make the completion for a first down you are still 30yrds or so out with not much time left.  Give it yo your kicker make the FG and let your defense win you the game in OT. 

Selfishly, I would have rather seen Edmonton win to give us more of a lead on BC but Jones deserves it for being such a tool.

Goddamnitsomuch....went to bed at the end of the 3rd Q. Really didn't think BC had a chance to win this game. Sounds like it was a good'n...

Nah, you didn't miss much.  Other than Lulay's last drive he looked "Brohmish" and Nichols wasn't much better.  I don't think either of these QB's have a bright future.

Maybe putting the "haha" part in italics or something would make it more obvious although I know subtle is your method of choice. 

 

Fawlty Towers - one of the greatest series ever!

 

Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once. Have you ever seen a British series called 'Allo 'Allo?

I remember Allo Allo.  My dad used to watch it when I was young.

 

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD EDMONTON!!!!  You had it in the bag.  DAMNIT!  Here I went to bed thinking I had this Pick in the bag.  Stupid Chris Jones!

Lulay is it rust or is he in a decline due to his shoulder? Any word on how long Bowman is out. Edmonton did squat without him.

Good on BC to humble the great and mighty Jones and his Eskimos. Comfusion to all of our enemies!
