Elks: Edmonton Eskimo Thread 3.0 : (12 - 6) 3rd in the West - Western Final Vs Calgary up next

[guymez]

So apparently the reports of Bowman's demise (by some posters) were greatly exaggerated.

 

[guymez]

Can someone explain to me why Maas has his best receiver returning punts?

Because he's Jason Maas.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Must be nice having a returner who can make plays happen

 

[guymez]

Because he's Jason Maas.

Man...then TSN shows a clip of Maas and his absolute dressing down of an Assistant coach. Maas was standing about a foot away from him very animated and yelling (and potentially spitting) in his face.
Many years ago I worked for a boss that thought it was a good idea to yell at staff in front of everybody.
Worst boss I ever had.
There is a term for this...its called a bully.

Just went back and saw it. There's a better way to communicate with your assistants than embarrassing him and screaming in his ear. That's awful.

It really is.
I didnt like the fact that Maas was so inexperienced when then signed him but seeing the way he carries himself and acts out on the sidelines I am rapidly losing respect for him.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Esks getting pumped by a team with nothing to play for...
playoffs or not, I hope Maas is fired after this season end in Ottawa or Toronto

can't stand his tactics and hothead demeanor on the sidelines

 

[Mav3rick07]

This is what happens when you take away Gable.


But yeah , I do agree , fire that pin head Maas.

Eskimos have done absolutely nothing since the end of the first quarter. In that time they’ve given up 22 straight points. This is the perfect time to switch quarterbacks to see if the other guy can spark what looks like a dead team. Of course, it isn’t happening. Buono has completely outcoached Maas in this game. Happening regularly to him.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Another game where Reilly, Maas and Benevides continue to crap the bed. Same old, same old.

 

[Del Preston]

Only good thing is this helps Edmonton get closer to the crossover.

Good point . I want NOTHING to do with the West. Calgary and Winnipeg have our number .

 

[MoontoScott]

Well, beautiful catch by Walker but probably a little bit late in coming.

I won't get into this coaching thing again but really even "Mr. Consequences" isn't as stubborn as this guy.

I agree that the X-over route is the way to go but that won't be easy either. Toronto is playing good football lately.

 

[rboomercat90]

Lol, got a chance to tie.

 

[rboomercat90]

Can the special teams and defence hold to get them to ot?

 

[Del Preston]

The long return suggests no.

They're gonna lose on a rouge.

 

[rboomercat90]

Almost.

The long return suggests no.

They're gonna lose on a rouge.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Holy shit they might pull it off.

 

[rboomercat90]

Congratulations to the team for the win. I didn’t see this coming with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

 

[guymez]

Impressive win for the boys.
Really nice to see Bowman get his groove back. An embarrassment of riches at receiver fort his team heading into the playoffs.

 

[Insta]

Wow what a finish. A big part of the problem is the complete garbage RBs this team has outside of Gable. If Gable isn't playing, you should barely hand off. Force them to cover your elite receivers and use quick outlet passes to the RB if needed where they have a chance in open field to get some yards. When you hand off to a guy that gets 5 yards max, they don't have to respect that anyway and you basically waste a down that you could be using to throw to Walker, Zylstra, Bowman.

 

[Del Preston]

Nice comeback.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Great finish

Yeah, it was annoying watching them try to force the running game despite having no success with it.

I think they should have used the pass to set up the run.

This OC tries to get too cutesy with his play calling early in games. Look what happens when they actually have to score and go for it on straight forward crossing routes and post patterns. The team has talented receivers - use them FFS.

At least one Edmonton sports team came through in the clutch though.
