Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Edmonton, October 11, 2025

[Sway]

Bombers pull out their patented Grey Cup loser performance strategy game plan from 2022-2024 a little early.

Favorited.

Sit back.

Hope the other team will beat them selves so we don't really have to do anything

In the end

Lose

[Doublezero]

We know who the obvious culprits are. But when the entire team is not very good, that falls on coaching and (mis)management. Changes in the works for next season, for sure.

[Tecno]

I have no idea why they would.  Montreal with Alexander starting will likely destroy the Bombers.  I think he is quietly the second best QB in the league.

Second??

[blueandgoldguy]

Can't wait for the throttling from the riders next week... This team is cooked sadly.

No excuse not to win that game with Riders likely resting at least a few or several starters for a good portion or the entirety of the game.  Harris has had shoulder problems for a number of weeks, so it would be shocking to play him in a nothing game.  If he and others need some playing time prior to the playoffs, they will likely let him play a little in the final game of the season

[Sway]

Yup, we had another timeout, and if we stop it at 30s we have a chance at a decent return and 3-4 pass plays to win the game.

I have no idea how MOS screwed this up.

Good call.

I'm sure he will never have to answer it , and if he is ever asked he will justify it..... some how

[Blueforlife]

Well that wasn't fun
Hopefully my oil can cheer me up a bit

[Tecno]

We have a coaching staff in love with their own ideas no matter the result.

Get pressure with who, though?  The ideas were used to pick the roster.  That's all set in stone now.  Basically was before week 1.  We've married scheme & roster and you can't uncouple the two.  Especially not now.

Maybe you can rethink the whole thing in next FA.  And they might if this novel approach fails to take us deep in the playoffs.  If we get to the cup again, we likely stick with the crazy concepts though, so you better pray we fail early and often!

This is precisely what SSK has done all season.  Just sit back and wait for mistakes.  SSK's D helps with that.  Man is their O bad though.  Heaven help them if they fall far behind.

SSK has become what we were a few years back.  We've become... hmm, not sure.

[Blue72]

When trade deadline came around and we did NOTHING to improve our team again for the playoffs, would that be Walters or MOS

[Sway]

If this team plays with any sort of energy they could be the first cross over team to make the Cup.

They look just so slow in 3rd quarter again and again

Another stupid Zach throw before half for the interception.

They should start dressing in the visitor dressing room now

[Tecno]

If this team plays with any sort of energy they could be the first cross over team to make the Cup.

We've had a major lack of physicality all season.  We look downtrodden half the time.  No one jacked up, except once in a blue moon.

Look at how EDM was laying the wood on us all game.  I don't recall any wood laid on a single EDM player.

There's some sort of lack of focus and morale right now, when it should be the highest.  I'm not sure they'll be able just turn it on come the post-season.  They sure didn't turn it on for the '24 GC!

When you rush three there's two double teams every passing down. No one could be successful in getting pressure with this scheme up front. We might as well drop 11 every passing down.

And It doesn't help that one of the players is Jake Thomas who is universally embarassing at this point. 

[Tecno]

Both.  KW gets the final word, but MOS would tell him what he needs, and MOS could just bench whoever KW hired if he didn't like the choice!

The key is hoping for no big injuries in this final stretch.  Demski going down kinda spoils that though.

[blueandgoldguy]

Second??

Yes, that's what I said. Second best.  He has very limited time as a starter, but I like what I see from him.  Good arm and he is great whenever he has to move out of the pocket, whether that is running it or throwing it.  I like him better than Mitchell.  Rourke is better than both.  Harris...pffffft, forget about him.  Decent QB but not great.

If Kelly is back next year, and has fully recovered, he may slot ahead of Alexander.  Strongest arm in the league imo.
