Official Game Day Thread - Montreal at Winnipeg , October 25, 2025

[Blue In BC]

I think we usually have MBT's number in games. Alexander is more dangerous but he's also missed half the season and is still hampered by his hamstring injury. He's also due to break his win streak so there is that.

Weather could be a huge factor in either semi so we'll see how things go. Overall I think the Bombers run game is an advantage in bad weather. O'Rourke and VAJ are more fair weather QB's with the penchant to go deep so often.

Bombers winning means Lions won't rest starters since they need to win.

Honestly I think we can beat either the Als or the Stamps in a semi final. We just need a 3 game win streak starting next weekend.

For someone who hasn't been given a chance to get some experience in Winnipeg this year, he was one end-zone pass away from being a backup quarterback on some team next year. Another Jason Hogan classic.

If footballs are made of leather, then he has probably seen more at home then at Blue Bomber practise.

Could we order another big wind gust in Montreal for next week?

[Pigskin]

Well, I guess we were not rolling over and throwing this game, as some had thought.

[Sway]

Hate too see Strev go down for a career.  But it was the only way to get Terry in. 

Rather play Calgary next week

Go Sask

Terry in his first real chance this year looked roughly equivalent to Streveler eight years into a pro career. Not sure what that means for Wilson but it is interesting.

That was when he thought Alexander was starting. MBT is a turnover machine and always going to be in the pocket as a fixed target.

Regardless, the Bombers played well against most of the Als starters. We rotated in just about everybody: Hallett, Gauthier, Ball, Kelly and Ayers on defence along with the pure rookie DE's.

On offence we used Chri-Ike and Peterson so generally a good day for the Canadian back ups.

Yeah, hard to say with no Oliveria, Wilson, Demski or Bryant playing today. He was limited by the replacements and play calling that resulted.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Jaworski and Jenkins both looked good for the defensive ends spots too. Somehow they managed to get pressure and inflict pain for pretty much the first time all year from those spots.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Jerkins and Jawarski both look like keeners.

He looked worse than Strev to me.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

He looked worse than Strev to me.

Maybe. I'm still having drinks at the stadium. Never want to leave on the last game.  You'll have to kick me out.   

[Blue In BC]

He looked worse than Strev to me.

It was effectively his 1st CFL start. Streveler only played about 5 plays and I'm not sure how many reps he got in practice this week. Even with Collaros not playing he probably was getting reps as a quasi # 2 just as preparation. I don't think they'd exclude him from that when they knew he'd wouldn't dress.

Regardless. As mentioned he was missing Oliveria, Demski, Wilson and Bryant on offence. All of that was not going to make it easy for any QB.

[Horseman]

It was a clothesline tackle, he tackled him around the throat, is a dangerous tackle and should have been called

Sorry have to disagree wasn't by the throat same as the tackle by the Bomber #45 (Baily) near the end of the game, no penalty either.
