EDMONTON — Spending the week off, Mike Reilly was on the East Coast for a wedding the night the Winnipeg Blue Bombers went head to head against the Calgary Stampeders, a diversion which Reilly and the Eskimos ended up in an uncommon circumstance — cheering for the Stamps.
A win by the Stampeders would have stretched out the Eskimos playoff plans to the last seven day stretch of the normal season as they would get ready to go up against the Blue Bombers for the last outstanding playoff spot. Lamentably for Edmonton, fortunes was not on their side as the Bombers punched their ticket to the playoffs with a 29-21 triumph.
It's an awful path for the Eskimos season to end with only one staying diversion before they wipe out their lockers and their off-season gets in progress in a season where the Gray Cup will be facilitated in their stadium towards the finish of November.
Notwithstanding missing the playoffs, the Green and Gold are keeping their heads held high as they prepare for one more amusement together, and that is the situation that streams down from the head office.
"It's not good for nothing… a great deal of pride," Eskimos GM/VP Brock Sunderland said on the viewpoint during the current week's diversion against Winnipeg. "Going 9-9 is significantly superior to going 8-10. On the off chance that anybody over here thinks this is insignificant, they won't be here."
A year ago's MOP Mike Reilly, to nothing unexpected, is likewise taking the more responsible option in assuming liability for the season's result, yet discovering worth in this last amusement at home.
"We have a diversion here at home and our folks can go one of two different ways, and that is to sulk about it and be negative or show up and prepare to work," Reilly said on Monday following practice. "I think whether today is demonstrative of how the week will go, the folks are prepared and eager to play."
"It's shocking for us, and yet, we place ourselves in that circumstance," Reilly included.
It denotes the first run through the Eskimos will neglect to make it to the post-season since 2013. That season just so happened to be Reilly's first year in Edmonton, with not as much as a bunch of folks who've been in Edmonton longer than he has.
"I think the folks comprehend this is our last chance to be as one as this football group for 2018, so go out there and plan for the week, as we do each other week, and do all that we can to go out and put on a decent show and get a win," Reilly said.
With the Eskimos off-season beginning sooner than arranged, it gives front office staff to start assessing players on an alternate scale contrasted with how they would have through the span of the season. In any case, as Sunderland says, it's circumstances like this one that shows what players are made out of.
"It's a trial of a considerable measure of things," he said. "The word, once more, is pride. Truly, polished methodology, however it's not just about a paycheque. When you discuss polished methodology, no doubt, you're showing up and you have work to do, this should hit everybody in the heart and their spirit."
Sunderland said he was very satisfied in observing his group return once again from their bye week and approach rehearse with the level of vitality he knew they were able to do, particularly thinking about the states of their circumstance.
"It's anything but difficult to hone hard and be all in when things are going your direction," he said. "Genuine heroes discover a way when things aren't going your direction. At the present time, how we handle this amusement will set the tone for next season and I'm exceptionally mindful of what's happening."
As Reilly takes a gander at it, moving toward this week with an uplifting mentality goes past simply the people who are as of now connected with the association, but instead pays reverence to the history and convention the Eskimos association has been based upon.
"Whenever you put on the Green and Gold and venture into this stadium and play a football game, you better play with an abnormal state of pride, and play with a similar mentality that all the person's who've come through before us and played on this group, and that is what we will do," Reilly said.
The Eskimos will want to complete the season off with one last triumph at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium, attracting their record to .500 preceding getting a take begin on their off-season arrangement. Kickoff for Saturday's amusement is booked for 4:00 p.m. ET.
