Do you want the Eskimos to make the playoffs?

[Evil Dr. Len]

I know the question sounds silly but after months of the "Taylor/Tyler" in the NHL plus all the building resentment toward the Eskimo organization espically RL I think it's a fair question.

Voted no because I have no interest in a rehash of years ago when we were handed our butts (by the Bombers, I think) and lose by 40 points to Calgary or the Riders.

It was really tough for me but I voted no. There are serious problems on this team and having them fluke their way into the playoffs will only mask things. The last thing I want management to think is they are "close" because it is clear they aren't.

Mask what?

Win or lose there are going to be massive changes in the off-season. Sonic won't be standing pat with someone else's team.

Absolute - freaking- ly yes....

I wanna win. Don't care how we get to the play offs, as long as we get there...

Can't digest why anyone would want to keep losing,
regardless of our situation and or problems...

Re: Do you want the Eskimos to make the playoffs?

I voted yes but this is where I worry about the new GM having the attitude that 'We are evaluating from here on out, nothing before matters.' This team over all this year has been a large bag of suck on many levels and has to be totally redone in many ways. I don't want a fluke into the playoffs and perhaps a playoff win fool anyone.

DM is gone.

Sadly, Tillman is here.

But 3rd or 4th won't change anything in that regard...so I vote yes.

You always want the team to win unless it was the Oilers of last year where a #1 draft pick has a huge potential to make a difference. In the CFL the #1 draft is not as great.

Exactly!
That's why I voted "Yes".
Plus I really hate losing too!

To quote the late and great Al Davis, "Just win baby!"

PS -- He may still be breathing, but Al Davis has been dead for years...

For those of you who voted "NO", please turn in your Eskimo gear at Commonwealth ASAP...

Grey Cup is in Edmonton. Of course, I would like the possibility of them being there!

It doesn't matter what I want. It just ain't gonna happen.

This season is all a brilliant ploy by Danny Maciocia. You lull the competition to sleep with lethargic and lousy play the first half of the season to set up the second half and the playoffs. And the Eskimos executed a lousy first half flawlessly. The competition was not only sleeping but comatose. We are set up not only to make the playoffs but to go all the way!!!
