Official Game Day Thread - Edmonton @Winnipeg, June 25, 2026

[Blue In BC]

All they needed was a first down to continue the drive, they needed 4 yds, Zach hucks the ball 40 yds., incomplete.

That's what I thought. We only needed a 1st down and to control the clock. We punt, they march downfield and score.

[M.O.A.B.]

Bad all around.

Younger's D is officially bad. We need a new DC.

[Blue In BC]

Zach, Brown, Perkins. I like that.  Where does ELgersma go? Conundrum.

He goes to reserve.

[Blue In BC]

That was the ugliest game we've seen from the Bombers in some time.

Aside from the bad play, several things come to mind:

1. We don't have a DI on offence when we have an injury to a receiver.
2. Ditto if we lose an import DB even though we have to DI's on defence and in theory Vaval. I don't want him to need to play DB.
3. Castillo had his worst game but the loss can be blamed on many players. I lost count 6 or 7 fumbles with about 5 lost?
4. We continue to have soft coverage. 2 and 15? No problem for our opponents. Need to throw out to the flat? No problem.
5. Our DL had a combined 5 DT's. That's not good.

It's been a long time since we've been bad on all three phases of the game all at once. We shouldn't be proud.

It's actually amazing we made of game of this.

The irony is that the offence moved the ball but kept shooting themselves in the foot: Collaros, Demski, Oliveria and Daniels all fumbled.

I was semi right that Fajardo didn't have a great passing game, only 267 yards. we held Rankin to just over 100 yards. The problem is that all happened in the 1st half. 200 yards of it in their 1st 2 series.

When it really counted the defense let us down again.  Edmonton marched down the field with ease...over 60 yards taking off 2.5 minutes of the clock for the TD.

lol at Collaros' response on the final drive.  Guy has 50 seconds left near centrefield - enough time for some intermediate passes to get us within reasonable range of a TD attempt.  Instead all we get are some piddly little passes for a handful of yards before he throws he throws a final pass that is nowhere near the endzone as time expires.  He sure is a good QB isn't he.

[Go_Big_D]

the db coverage is terrible...something has got to change....lol the turnovers were insane, not gonna win many games playing like that.....dont hold much hope for this team not being not much more than being a .500  club.....

[M.O.A.B.]

Zach, Brown, Perkins. I like that.  Where does ELgersma go? Conundrum.

If Brown is ready, I'll do Brown, Zach and Perkins.
Zach will not get us anywhere anymore.

He was a good QB but not anymore. It seems he can't throw long accurate passes anymore.

Only having 1 import receiver left and using 4 Canadians and you want to put that on Collaros. Add to that the OL couldn't stop the rush because we had 4 Canadian receivers and the Elks knew that was easier coverage.

It was the perfect storm of this year's JY defense, last year's propensity to turn over the ball in the red zone on O, and whenever the last time Serg decided to have a terrible game, all in one.

Look at their D line getting  pressure seemingly every snap and our D line not. How many sacks did we give up?. And how many did we get?? It starts right there. And don't give me the line we had 2 changes to our O line just before game time bunk—-we knew they were going to be weak and yet we called for Collaros to stand in their and get sacked. Why didn't we employ the Trevor Harris dump the ball off-so we don't lose 15 yards on a first down sack strategy?? We are just so stupid

It wasn't his fault for all the turnovers or the fact the defence was horrible in the 1st half.

Wait til the storm in Hamilton next week, this one will be nothing!!
