Game #8 vs Montreal on the road

[Looner]

Looks like we are finally getting some injury help when it comes to our opponent. Als will be without:

• QB - Davis Alexander
• DL - Mustafa Johnson
• DB - Kablon Ento
• DB - Marc-Antoine Dequoy
• DB - Dionte Ruffin
• WR - James Letcher Jr.
• WR - Austin Mack
• OL - Justin Lawrence

Also Philpot hasn't participated in practice this week but hasn't been ruled out yet.

NEED to take a W in this one.

Same depth chart as last week for us and it looks like Philpot is out for the Als

Can we please catch a break!

nope... we drop them in the endzones.

I'd settle for a well paid receiver catching a ball in the end zone.

Their injury list is about as big of a break as we could ask for. They are missing their starting QB, center, 2 x WR's, safety, 1 x DL, their dangerous returner and 2 x DB's

And betting sites are still all in on Montreal winning, some even thinking it could be a big win. That tells everyone how bad Edmonton looks to anyone putting money on it.

but yet most of the podcasts are calling for an EE win but they all seems to be doing it with some hesitation

If there ever was a time to go against the grain, this would be it (like my pick of Ottawa against Calgary knowing the rookie QB is terribad). But us EE fans know better than to bet real money ON the Elks no matter the circumstance.

We couldn't catch a cold.

I just can’t believe anyone would bet real money on MBT actually winning a game ! Sure he will look adequate for a brief stretch in the game but inevitably he will be bouncing passes off the turf and completing a 4 yard pass on second and 7. Fajardo will have a decent game and that’s all EE will need to upset the Als.

I am hoping for a win but I have zero confidence they will.

There is just the cloud over the team where they seem to find ways to lose games and it doesn't seem to want to go away.

When we change our name back (lots of buzz around it), this era of the franchise will always have a black cloud over it.

Yup. I don’t really believe in curses per se but it sure feels like changing the name put a huge hex or cloud or whatever you want to call it on this franchise that they just haven’t been able to shake.

It’s like they’ve just been wandering aimlessly through the dark trying to figure out some sort of identity…
