Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Calgary, August 9, 2025

[Ducky]

Worst group of DBs we have fielded in, what, a decade plus? They simply cannot cover. We get killed every game by the deep ball.

D schemes are not helping.

Oline is a turnstyle.

O schemes are predictable.

Bargain Basement Bombers, strange time to field such a poor team.  CHEAP CHEAP!

Echo?

That's used in fish finders

Agree on all points.  Are big changes coming or does Wade risk another GC disaster like 2015?

Stay tuned..

I was only able to watch a small portion of the game. Was Mitchell a factor?

Huge mistake kicking it through the endzone, if they would have started from their 20 good chance the Bombers win.

There was very little chance they would win if Castillo had not kicked it in the endzone.  If he kicks it to around the ten like he normally would it's pretty well a guarantee Calgary runs it up to around the 30 yard line and that probably only runs 7  - 8 seconds off the clock. 

As it was, Calgary wracked up 2 passing plays totaling 30 yards in like 10 seconds to already bring them into field goal position and then just decided to run the ball for 2 plays to run time off the clock the make the field goal slightly shorter. 

There's no reason they wouldn't have done the exact same thing if they started around the 30 yard line with 50 seconds left, but add in another 10 - 15 yard pass and make it around a 40 yard field goal attempt anyways.  The defense on this team was not up to the task of stopping the stamp offense from marching down the field for field goals on most of their drives in the second half.

Few catches early
Did ok

It doesn't matter.  Winnipeg was not stopping Adams from driving the ball down the field.

From 20 maybe big difference imo than 40

But I get it, d wasn't play great late and hurt

[Blueforlife]

Well I enjoyed the game and all the matches
Lots of parity

[Horseman]

It was a good challenge. Looked like a terrible call to me and it represented a big swing.

I thought so at the time, but the second replay from higher up shows the Cal player falling down then getting up and THEN Jones gives him a push in the back and he falls again, that is a penalty by the book.

Nick Taylor time?  Might be time to revive BA's career if he's still in shape, keep him on the PR just in case they need an experienced DB with Bonds and Parker out.

Bad ideas x2 imo
Need previous cut, other teams cuts or fresh meat
