Bombers @ Elks August 21st

[ben_the_eskimo]

This is a game Edmonton *SHOULD* win… The EE are the better team and they’re playing at home. That said the Bombers are still a veteran laden team who knows how to squeak out close wins, plus it’s always difficult to beat the same opponent twice in a season.

I’m hoping to see the Elks set the tone by coming out hot and putting this one away early before the Bombers can gain any hope of a late game resurgence to steal one.

Keys to the game:

Dline has to continue what they started on Saturday and make life miserable for Collaros. Give him time and he’ll burn you but smack him around a bit and who knows, he may not even make it through the game.

OLine has to slow down the tandem of Willie J and what I’m sure will be an extra motivated Jake Ceresna. Those two alone are capable of wrecking an offence but I’m not super concerned about the rest of the Bomber D as a whole, so neutralize those two and you should be in a good position.

I’ve heard that Olivera and possibly Demski have been limited in practice this week which may play in our favour as those two guys seem to always have big games against us. But the way our defence is playing right now I don’t see it necessarily even if they are healthy.

Nailed it. I also think both those guys have been questionable all season but always seem to make the lineup. I wonder if its head games by Osh

Very well could mind games.

Looks like we’re bringing the same roster as last week, not seeing any changes on the depth chart.

Its nice to have a consistent lineup for a change

To win this and after a long streak of games and head into a bye would be massive!

[widowmaker]

Our offence has only been on the field for a minute in the first quarter.

[widowmaker]

The offence sucks tonight!!!

Have they even broken a sweat? They have been the field for less than 5 minutes!

[widowmaker]

Good to see that Fajardo is fired up.

Are they going to do anything about it?

[EsksTMac]

A complete no show. Fajardo is seeing ghosts and running around for no reason. Willie Jefferson didn’t even rush and Fajardo ran right into him.

[BeaverSports]

Not looking like a “great team” so far.

[EsksTMac]

A short kick to give the Bombers the ball at the 45 yard line?

Get rid of the special teams coordinator. The unit has been a complete joke all year.

[EsksTMac]

Some of the worst QB play I’ve seen all year from Cody. Baffling.

[estayfan]

The team did not look prepared at all tonight but hopefully can adjust at the half. Need to establish the running game.

Yeah, I really didn't get that call.
