Terry Jones was not impressed...
For the eighth straight Labour Day the Eskimos bused back to Edmonton Monday evening having lost the Classic to the Calgary Stampeders — this time to even the all-time series at 29-29-1.
But this wasn’t about Labour Day or about the rivalry.
Edmonton’s 25-9 loss in this one, combined with their 34-28 defeat at home to the first place Winnipeg Blue Bombers, should have all the alarms ringing in Commonwealth Stadium for Chris Presson’s first day on the job as the new CEO for the club Tuesday morning.
This one wasn’t just another kick-in-the-crotch Edmonton Labour Day loss in Calgary.
This one represented a U-Turn in what three weeks ago looked like the Eskimos might be tracking toward becoming a host-the-Western-Final team that could find their way back to Calgary for the Grey Cup game in November.
Watching this team lose these past two games, it doesn’t look like they could find their way back down there with a road map, a GPS, a compass and directional arrows painted on the southbound lanes of the QEII.
