It wasn't pre-season, but was Week 20 in a write off season where Week 21 was a Bye for Edmonton and Winnipeg had clinched first already, so it's easy to forget as no one was watching....

Could be. Ultimately though this is where it's nice that the team had built up a lot of Canadian depth and had a starting Centre playing guard, so they should be able to hold it together for a bit by filling a guard spot with the best player possible...

Seeing a bunch of people complaining about a game plan that is trying to improve Ford's effectiveness in the pocket are completely barking up the wrong tree.

If you want an Oline to provide pass protection the best way to do that is keeping...

While naturally the team can't look at it this way, I've been looking at these first three games as being needed to be treated almost like pre-season to work out the kinks against really good team and having the ready to cook for Week 5 against Ottawa...

So as I said when being pissed at the Oilers losing Game 5 and Game 6, thank god for the Elks reminding me how fortunate we are to have the Oilers to cheer for, and thank god for the Elks reminding me within 2 days of being a low point as a Oiler fan...

First read I thought you were giving away the dog, lol....

I agree, with the caveat being that this isn't like last year where they were going into it expecting to take the next step and were looking at the first three games having 2 winnable games in that they had Sask at home who had missed the playoffs the...

I think you are right, but getting these harder teams early in the season, if they can pull off any victory it's a bonus, plus it gets them reps against good teams which could serve them well once the schedule softens up a bit provided the team doesn't...

Ivey showed as full participant and Available on today's report. Boyko and Smith showing as Questionable....

Is there even such thing as a walk up crowd now that tickets are all purchased online?

That said, I agree. Hopefully it clears up a bit earlier than the forecasted 6:00 right now and people give it a shot. Some of the nicest games last...

The forecast for this game is so depressing. That said, looing at the hourly forecast we could be in for one of those old time Eskimo specials where the weather sucks leading up to the game, clears up just in time for kickoff and you have a beautiful...

It was a heck of a game by him, but he seems to always have good numbers vs. Edmonton. Let's see how he's looking after 3 or 4 games before determining whether he back to form.

I suspect it might end similar to Ricky Ray where he never...

But also home openers for Winnipeg and Ottawa and Ottawa's backups both have CFL starting experience with a pretty good group of receivers. Tough to discount the impact of a game being the home opener for a team.

I'd still probably lean...

The 30-20 factor helped you out a lot last year. I went with the punt for Week 1 and followed suit, but I'm trying to figure out an alternative score to go with that could have similar success as 30-20 hasn't always worked so well in other year. 37 surprisingly...

Often, early in the season, it's best to just go with the home team (unless it's Edmonton) until you know who the good teams actually are. Usually it's good enough to lock in at least 2 correct picks so that you don't fall too far behind early. This...

[bone]

I kind of agree. If Bo Levi and his receivers could have gotten onto the same page at any point in that game, Calgary probably gets lit up for 45+ points. Adams did well getting the points he did, but BLM and his receivers bailing him out of any consequence...

After having some time to let it settle in.

Negatives.

Zone Defense got picked apart by an accurate passer. These guys need to make better reads on when the balls coming or they may need to switch to man coverage. I can't believe...
