Taking advantage of a 2-for-1 deal, I picked up some tickets for the Eskimos/Blue Bombers games at Commonwealth last night. Things started out strange when the ticket office insisted the only two "coupled" tickets were waaaayyyy up in row 71. That's pretty damn high.
Instead of explaining how painful the game was to watch, I'll let these quotes paint the picture:
"We couldn't get any kind of rhythm going," said Ray, who finished 28 of 48 for 335 yards and no touchdowns in a generally sloppy game before 35,455 at Commonwealth Stadium.
The Eskimos (3-1), who were favoured to win by as much as 20 points, still generated 412 yards of net offence to Winnipeg's 230, and had the ball for 17 more minutes. The last time Edmonton won a game scoring 20 or fewer points was July 13, 2001 - a 13-11 win over Saskatchewan.
Ray, who entered the game leading the CFL in compilations and passing yards, threw a pair of first-half interceptions and was sacked twice as the Eskimos held a 7-4 lead at the half.
The Edmonton Eskimos' kicker for the last 14 seasons missed three field goals to finish four- for-seven but rebounded to kick a 23-yarder with no time left in the fourth quarter as the Edmonton Eskimos salvaged a 14-12 win over Winnipeg in a sloppy Friday night.
Yeah...but we still won, I suppose, so that was worth catching pneumonia from the drizzling rain.
