Who in their right mind would change a teams name to Elks when they're in a league with two big cats, Lions and Tigers? That's why they're dead meat LOL!
@@cflhighlights9370 Did they beat them when it mattered? No they didn't. That's why they will be dead meat unless and until they overrule the woke mob that changed their name and wiped out their history. Edmonton, in case you didn't realize, is run by the woke mob with the exception of your current ruling political party.
Yeah that commentary during the second rider TD was pretty amazing. They weren't even watching the game. I'm an Australian Rider fan and its that sort of Canadian thing that makes the CFL awesome. Its like the very very Canadian thing "You can miss a field goal and still get a point" or "If you fail to get a 1st down but can punt that far you can still get a point." My joke about why Canadian football has 12 players is its because Canadians are so nice they didn't want to leave that other kid on the sidelines and said "Sure you can play too."
What a comeback win for Riders. Last few minutes were CRAZY. Bane Jr.'s hat-trick and Mayala's double were nice to see. This is what it's all about. #NoLeadIsSafe in CFL.
Erase those 2 INTs from Harris and Saskatchewan drops close to 40 on them! I don’t know what happened in that locker room during halftime but Corey Mace clearly said something. Defense stepped up big late and the offense was able to finish the job. Everything already looks better than last year, and I think Saskatchewan’s headed back to the playoffs
They have to quit taking stupid penalties after the whistle. Almost cost them. They had a two and out, then got one that gave Edmonton a first down. That is unacceptable. Penalties will happen during plays and are expected, but not after the whistle.
If you look at the final play of the the game today and the elks week 16 game vs toronto from 2021 it was like it was the same play down to the open reciver and the guy who was standing at the 1 waiting to be hit if he does get the ball and the guy who was triple covered and each quarterback threw to the guy who was triple covered
Bad penalties on both sides, but more so for the Riders. Way too many after the whistle penalties, including one after what would have been a two and out. They need to clean up their act, because against a good team, it will make it impossible to win.
Unless and until they change their name back, they will always be dead meat. Think about it, you're in a league featuring two large cats, and you wanna call yourself Elks??? LOL!
@@markanthony3275 it's not about the name, it's about players. Elks took a few years rebuilding, Chris Jones was given a cart blanche in doing so. But it's time to show up. The first game was good, even if they lost. I believe that Elks will do great this season. They have all the tools.
Game 1 of the 2024 NHL Finals between Edmonton Oilers against Florida Panthers just happened on the same day as this Game and omg Edmonton got a Double Loss in 1 Day🤣 Elks 75th Home Opener 29-21 Final Oilers vs Panthers 0-3 Final (Game 1)
I missed this game. So I’m watching the highlights thinking, “Woah! The Eskimos are back!” But as I watched the rest of this highlight they blew a two score lead in Eskimos fashion. Not a good day for Edmonton. Eskimos and Oilers L
In Canadian Football, they have what's called a 'rouge'. If a punt, kickoff or missed field goal goes into the end zone, the ball is dead there and the kicking team gets a point.
@@cryptohado There're no touchbacks on punts, missed field goals and kickoffs. You should bring the ball out of the end zone if you don't want to give up a point. Also on punts and kickoffs kicking team must give returner a five yard halo of free space to catch the ball.
@@cryptohado There have been games, where on the last play of the game, a team leading by one point will punt the ball out of the end zone to avoid giving up the single point, to avoid overtime. That works as long as they don't run it back in for a touchdown.
Harris looked pretty shaky. Most of his passes seemed a little off the mark. He’s lucky Bane is a superstar. My Stamps have to be kicking themselves right now.
Definitely not shaky. He said that his 2nd INT was a bad read, but the first one was because KSB slipped on his route. Plus he still finished over 70% completion so it can’t be that bad
Edmonton had to work hard to lose that one. Both teams need to work on reducing penalties...especially penalties that bring the ball back after a great play.
Edmonton lost basically all of them the past couple years, plus Edmonton sports fans care more about hockey right now since they don’t expect any major success in football this year anyway
@@teo_heel No way was there 20,681 fans there. The upper deck and end zones were completely empty. The side opposite the cameras had about 1 in 10 seats filled. Where did you get that number from? Seems they aren't publishing the number due to how low it was.
@@my3dviews Upper deck is closed. I took it from Wiki page, I don't know where it got that info though. But I saw some crowd shots and there were a lot of people on the main camera side.
@@sportshistorybuff319 20681. Not bad for a game on the stadium with closed upper bowl. The problem is that Commonwealth is MASSIVE and crowds of 20000 seem like nothing.

Big day for the Elks an they don't have The Ford on the field smh. You guys bring in slow Bethal Thompson knowing that Ford is the present an future Bethal should be his back-up. If I was Ford I'd jus ask for a trade bec your not respected by upper management.
MBT was the reason why Elks scored that much, he was awesome. Being slow doesn't mean that you're bad. MBT is a seasoned veteran, he showed that with his big plays. Ford will play for sure. he needs to learn a lot before he could become a leader. MBT will provide Ford with all the knowledge.
My issue is that the league praises Chad Kelly an for 1 season an made him the poster boy, Nathan Rourke is great as well but has yet played a full season in the CFL or in the NFL yet he is given his props while Tre Ford is getting sidelined. He seems to be treated like the little red headed step child an after thought. I really hope this changes bec in Hamilton an Toronto fans are in those seats to see him play. He has a special talent we don't see in the league an he needs to be promoted better.
Another year of failier and Edmonton will have to shut down! Management of this team is useless!! My son had tickets in the upper bowl for years, after they shut it down he quit.

Five hours later, what magical incantation have the Elks come up masquerading as their attendance for this home opener?

It’s the first game, Edmonton D line is for real too. He’s gonna go crazy in the next few weeks. Crazy to give up after just 1 week
The hell happened to the Elks? They had this in the bag!
Expect them to choke it, they don’t win much
Usual Elks football. They did this a lot last year and all they changed on coaching was getting new coordinators
They keep doing it, they’re the Atlanta Falcons of the CFL
Where not the falcons more like the chargers in my opinion
