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

[CrazyCanuck89]

Kramdi seems to be involved in a lot of tackles around the line of scrimmage. He's not big. I'm sure a bit of time off is welcomed by him.

I have no stats but He seems to be making plays everywhere on the field.

Being big means nothing.  LBs, DEs and DTs get injured all the time.

A great day to be a CFL fan
LETS GO BOMBERS

hopefully we see lots of terry wilson - not sure i can stomach 3 hours of strev handing off to peterson and him scrambling. 

100% on this. I m not sure why we are even starting Streveler, we all feel the same way, yuck!!!, handoff, handoff, punt!!
 
Give Wilson the ball and see what he can do!!!

[Waffler]

I would not even play Strev. If he gets hurt we are in the same position as last Grey Cup. Save both QB's.

Interesting to note, back in 2014 Wade Miller set a goal to sell out every home game in 2025 and Wade and the organization managed to meet that goal by confirming the Montreal at Winnipeg game is officially sold out.  Congratulation to the Bombers and the fans.

Outstanding!

After seeing Oshea's presser the roster we are putting in for this game to me shows a lack of confidence on the Bomber coaches part. They are afraid and maybe rightly so that by playing guys like Collaros and Wilson  we are risking injury. He, to me, doesn't trust the oline.
  I'm not sure that's how you want to enter the playoffs.

prob true but nothing can be done about it now..risk avoidance is the best strategy cause replacing an oline in the last week of the season is impossible.

I would give Strev plenty of reps to work on his craft so that he is ready is Zach goes down.  I also would like to see Wilson get a quarter.  I like resting guys, this is a nothing game 90% chance of that imo.  Good decisions here.

Fun to see how the next gen will play.

I get what you're saying but I've seen enough. What do they say, next man up!

Would you trust the O line?? Not a chance. This is playing it smart. Our O line is brutal and everyone knows that. Keep Collaros out and healthy and maybe he can have another Hamilton game and put up 40 points!!

DTs are in a weird category.  They sort of just break instead of getting the normal injuries.  They are rarely rolled up on and certainly not tackled funny.

[Tecno]

It's a lot more fun when we rest players because we have the division all locked up already than when it's the other way around

Ya, this is the same as being behind and taking a "victory" formation with 30s left.  Kind of sad -- and most teams don't do it (the "losing formation" that is) -- especially at home!

[Tecno]

I guess the new $50K SMS ( load management ) addition to sit veterans for all these reasons came into play.

Uh, what's that?

[Tecno]

I'm shocked at the roster.  This isn't like MOS/Mafia.  Did WM pass down these instructions?

At the time of setting the roster, for both us and MTL, we don't know if we need a win or not to improve our standing.  The exact same boat.  MTL chose to dress their normal crew.  We chose to hand in the towel and dress a pre-season crew?  If anything it should have been the other way around -- OTT in HAM is easier to beat than EDM in EDM right now!!  So we're saying we WANT the crossover?

I'm not sure we've ever done this in Mafia's tenure.  Weird.  Plus, so much for allowing our O to gel more.  Now we walk into a playoff game with the O sucking total rocks in 2 of the last 3 games and nothing working right.  I hope they have something up their sleeve!

That said, with (spoilers) HAM's win, MTL will play Alexander & co maybe 1 half and then play the backups.  They do have his hammie to still worry about, and any Ento / Mack / Alexander injury would spell disaster for their playoff hopes.

[Tecno]

I'm not sure the home fans will take kindly to us throwing this game.  Many won't know or understand why Zach isn't starting, etc.  The boo-birds could come out early and often if it's Strev-run-up-the-gut every 2nd down for 20 2&outs.

You'd think they'd want to put one more decent show (read: win) on for the faithful, sold-out home fans?  Even if it's a nothing game, it's always more fun if we win.

Might rub some people the wrong way and cause first-timers to not bother coming again next season.
