Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal, August 21, 2025

Bombers vs Alouettes...Another game the Bombers need to win to keep pace and playoff hopes alive in the west.

The injury status and roster continues to improve and with Demario Houston at least in the mix and Cam Lawson, Peyton Logan and Dalton Schoen doing full workouts this week. These signs are indicators that some positive roster changes are being considered.

Coach O'Shea qualified Schoen's return to the lineup by saying, " I think Dalton probably needs a little more time but he looked good out there today running around."

More updates and depth charts for the game will be forthcoming.  Let's go Bombers!

Much like last week, this 'should' be a comfortable victory if we expect this club to start making noise in the second half of the season.

This team has to figure out how to play with a lead and keep it - in general but especially against "inferior" opponents.

James Morgan starting, from on the Gazette.

Schoen will complete his 6 game IR stint. So he won't be back for another couple of weeks at the earliest.

I believe Labour Day

I believe Labour Day

He didn't practice today after working out on Monday, so might not be that soon.

So do we know what Schoen's thing was?  My guess is strained knee ligament?  Clearly not torn.  But you really need to be careful with these things!!  Strains turn into tears real easily.

And now we'll be holding our breath every time he's running and changing direction just like we do every time Zach takes a hit... I pray this is the last we see of knee issues for Schoen.

P.S. The knee with the brace... was it the same knee he blew up last year or not??

[TecnoGenius]

I think we'll be able to attack that MTL D with all those injuries.  The Thorpe D is probably the most complicated one, after our "match coverage".

MTL never brings what they show.  It's all (Hall) smoke & mirrors.  Lots for the players to remember.  Tough on the injury replacements.

Their DB play different schemes, too.  Lots of route jumping and roving.  The FS is the roving-est in the league.  So far their new FS hasn't been able to duplicate what Dequoy brings (who could?).

Just watch out for their DL.  Those guys are huge, and can stuff Brady.  And Thorpe likes to blitz a fair bit because he's always mixing things up.

If we get ahead by any kind of comfortable margin, get Collaros out of there. Let Strev run out the clock. Call me a nervous Nellie if you want but I will never trust a team that plays Lemon to not take liberties with a QB.

i hope we get waaay up but given our offense taking entire quarters off seems to be the norm and the fact that the Als defence is very good and will be fired up knowing they are starting their 4th string QB...this game will be close.

[Pigskin]

We need a 60 minutes effort tomorrow. Have to play a complete game. OL will have to be good, it's time to get BO20 going.

Logan is in, Peterson is out

Houston not dressed.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Hahaha O'Shea is such a coy guy on the mic. Watching the presser yesterday he made it sound like adding Logan would be this hard system switch they weren't even considering considering and then 24 hours later he's in.

Love the poker.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Thomas, Schmekel and Lawson all in means we can rotate an all Canadian interior if we want. Particularly on passing downs probably.
