The Eskimos would go on to lose against the same Argonauts team that allowed them to clinch the last playoff spot in the CFL during the 2012 CFL season. Had the Hamilton Tiger-Cats beat the Toronto Argonauts lost, the Eskimos final game against Calgary on November 2 would have been a game where they needed to win or tie to clinch a playoff berth. # Date Visitor Score Home OT Attendance Record Pts 1 Sat, June 30 Toronto Argonauts 15–19 Edmonton Eskimos 35,538 1–0 2 2 Sun, July 8 Edmonton Eskimos 1–17 Saskatchewan Roughriders 31,459 1–1 2 3 Fri, July 13 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 10–42 Edmonton Eskimos 32,067 2–1 4 4 Fri, July 20 Edmonton Eskimos 27–14 BC Lions 28,335 3–1 6 5 Thurs, July 26 Edmonton Eskimos 22–23 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 29,533 3–2 6 6 Bye 3–2 6 7 Fri, Aug 10 Saskatchewan Roughriders 20–28 Edmonton Eskimos 43,178 4–2 8 8 Fri, Aug 17 Montreal Alouettes 38–25 Edmonton Eskimos 32,760 4–3 8 9 Mon, Aug 27 Edmonton Eskimos 26–17 Toronto Argonauts 22,912 5–3 10 10 Mon, Sept 3 Edmonton Eskimos 30–31 Calgary Stampeders 32,102 5–4 10 11 Fri, Sept 7 Calgary Stampeders 20–18 Edmonton Eskimos 39,363 5–5 10 12 Sat, Sept 15 Edmonton Eskimos 8–51 Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24,162 5–6 10 13 Sat, Sept 22 BC Lions 19–18 Edmonton Eskimos 35,578 5–7 10 14 Fri, Sept 28 Edmonton Eskimos 15–39 Calgary Stampeders 29,290 5–8 10 15 Fri, Oct 5 Hamilton Tiger-Cats 20–35 Edmonton Eskimos 30,557 6–8 12 16 Sat, Oct 13 Saskatchewan Roughriders 20–37 Edmonton Eskimos 38,678 7–8 14 17 Fri, Oct 19 Edmonton Eskimos 19–39 BC Lions 30,102 7–9 14 18 Sun, Oct 28 Edmonton Eskimos 25–27 Montreal Alouettes 23,312 7–10 14 19 Fri, Nov 2 Calgary Stampeders 30–27 Edmonton Eskimos 21,147 7–11 14 Total attendance: 308,866 Average attendance: 34,318 (57.6%) Roster 2012 Edmonton Eskimos final roster Quarterbacks  5 I Kerry Joseph  3 I Steven Jyles 16 I Matt Nichols Running backs 28 I Cory Boyd  7 I Hugh Charles 31 N Calvin McCarty Receivers 86 N Matt Carter 17 N Shamawd Chambers 85 N Nate Coehoorn 89 I Marcus Henry 84 I Cary Koch 81 N Glenn MacKay  2 I Fred Stamps Offensive linemen 61 N Kyle Koch C 67 N Scott Mitchell G 64 N Matt O'Donnell T 63 N Brian Ramsay G 62 N Dylan Steenbergen T 58 I Devin Tyler T Defensive linemen 92 N Justin Capicciotti DE 91 I Marcus Howard DE 96 I Brandon Lang DE 94 N Ted Laurent DT 79 I Shawn Lemon DE 93 N Don Oramasionwu DT Linebackers 49 N Mike Cornell 18 I T.
