Winnipeg @ Montreal

Pigskin · August 15, 2025, 06:28:47 PM

Depending who is at QB for Montreal this could be a very tough game. The Bombers will have to play a full 60 minutes. Bombers should get a couple of practices in this week. Montreal will be working on a very short week.

Evans or Dukes at QB for the Als.

I think it will be Evans. We should be able to beat them but they are pretty good.

Evans or Dukes is a non issue at Qb, they both suck.

Waffler · August 16, 2025, 01:08:51 AM

We've been beaten by bad QB's before and their D is good enough to win the odd game for them. Just take it seriously, it's not easy to win in Montreal.

Evans is the king of short pass / timing routes. This will be great practice for us as T.Harris/SSK is exactly the same (but Trevor can throw deep too).

I want to see us finding ways to block lanes, get pressure, and go batdown crazy. It'll help us the next 3 weeks in a row.

MTL DB corps is complete hot garbage right now. Ento and Dequoy were the secret sauce. Picture us without Holm/Nichols. Ya, we'd be doomed. That's MTL right now.

An extremely winnable game. If we make every little extra play like we did last night, we win.

there is no team right now that I can confidently think we will beat, but I think we definitely could and should win this one. To be fair, last time I said that was before the Stampede bowl. We all saw how that went.

Every team has their warts. I don't really see too many complete teams that look infallible right now.

Montreal's DB corps may be hot garbage but ours is not much better. And the Als DL and LB group is very very good. Might be a winnable game for us but with our bad OC and related brain cramps we probably will make enough mental errors to lose.

who knows who we will be facing at QB...

Blue In BC · August 17, 2025, 12:28:32 AM

Looks like Evans will be for awhile. It's also a short week for them.

Riders may be the exception, couldn't tolerate them laying a beating on the Bombers like they just administered to the Ti-Cats. If the Bombers can take the Banjo Bowl, my faith will be restored.

Meh. I'm still not impressed.

We have a long week, MTL short. MTL has too many injuries. The new QB will do new QB things. He has less dev than our Wilson! We can feast on all the usual new-QB mistakes. Should be a great game for WPG D.

The best part is it's not a "trap game", because when you've been sucking as much as we have, every game, no matter how bad the team, should be a struggle. However, we're on a definite uptrend, with the OL and DBs doing much better vs a week ago.

Ours showed great improvement. I think Allen is an instant success, and will dress from here on out, if not start. Vaval is not a free bingo spot. Lawson not a free bingo spot. Everyone making some plays.

Keep improving, maybe get Parker back at CB, and our DB issues may disappear.
