Fun game to watch, but not quite there yet.

you do realize a play by play commentary like that is meaningless for anyone not watching the game and redundant for anyone who is?

Akin to your post.

MODDEJONGE: What would 'The Don' have done with these Edmonton Elks?
Given the turnstile that has been the Elks roster all season, it's safe to say Chris Jones is the modern day Don Matthews, but without the results

interesting article but...
chris jones coached in saskatchewan with a record of 12 - 6 in the last year and was 10 - 8 in year two and 5 - 13 in the first year. the coach doesn't play and the first year always starts with someone else's team on the field.
interestingly enough, in the two years don mathews coached in edmonton the team was 6 - 12 and 10 - 8. he left toronto with an 0 - 8 record.

I guess the Elks have found another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

I’m sad to see that the Elks don’t get it done. The interception near the goal line was a killer.

Bad teams with a loser culture find ways to lose. Inside the five twice in the last half of the fourth quarter and end up minus 7 in points. On the bright side it was a beauty afternoon.

Holy crap that's empty.

Edmonton Elks break record for longest home losing streak in pro football history
Call the Guinness Book of World Records, because the Edmonton Elks’ home ineptitude has reached historic levels.
Saturday’s 25-18 defeat at the hands of the Montreal Alouettes marked the team’s 15th consecutive loss at Commonwealth Stadium, setting a new pro football record for the longest home losing streak.
Edmonton looked to be on pace to avoid that inauspicious honour, taking a narrow 18-17 lead into halftime. However, the Elks were shut out after the break and committed two turnovers in the red zone — the first being a 100-yard pick-six by Alouettes’ linebacker Tyrice Beverette which would prove to be the margin of victory.
That broke a four-way tie for the all-time lead in consecutive home losses, passing the 1987-88 Ottawa Rough Riders, 1988-89 Dallas Cowboys, and 2008-10 St. Louis Rams.
Edmonton’s last victory at Commonwealth came on October 12, 2019 — 1,085 days ago –against the B.C. Lions. The intervening years have included an organizational name change, a global pandemic and four separate head coaches — Jason Maas, Scott Milanovich (who never coached a game), Jaime Elizondo, and now Chris Jones. None have been able to deliver a win for the hometown crowd.
The Elks will have two more opportunities to avoid going two full seasons without recording a home victory, with the next coming on Saturday, October 15 against the Toronto Argonauts.
