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

Adams got demoted to the practice roster.

So what does that tell us?  As I said the Riders seem to be happy with him on a much more aggressive D-line.

O'Shea made some comments about playing young in the last games. Inexperience for some players showed. Over enthusiasm left gaps in discipline.

The newbies have had time to better understand it's a team game and adjust to their responsibilities at the pro level.

We should see a much better outing from them tonight. A win is a bonus but we have to play smarter.

Big game but I'm confident they've learned enough from their mistakes to win this game. Next up in Hamilton so they have much to straighten out before that re-match.

We have dead last in sacks each year under Jordan Younger. So you can admit it's not something he prioritizes or you have to admit that we are very bad at it.

We've been bad at getting sacks since Jackson Jeffcoat retired. He's gone, and Willie is getting tired.

I watched the last game first half, kept track... the bombers didn't go with three d lineman once.

They blitzed seven times with time left in the second quarter.

These current players are not good at getting pressure.

Neufeld out for personal matter.
Elsbury switches to RG, Eli moves to Center, Vibert 6th man, Vanderpool sits.

Adams got demoted to the practice roster.

And vaughters isn't really doing much more than he did for us to start last season. Recall he was making plays here early in the season. He looked like the next big thing for a while.

Turns out he's just a solid middling player, and we clearly wanted something different or just couldn't afford it.

Where'd you see this? If so, will make it harder on us tonight

[Tecno]

Anyone not here is missing out! Absolutely perfect temp for football. A couple of rain drops here and there. They now have changed forecast to big rain before 9. Lol

Well, at least they always lie in the direction that helps us sell tickets!

Did we sell out tonight? Tail gate was really busy

o line looking porous on first series

[The Zipp]

wide open.

d not even ready to lineup

[Horseman]

It's going to be a looooooong game, I'm afraid Bomber fans.

[The Zipp]

defence looking not improved at all

3 plays and edmonton moved 60 yards

[The Zipp]

for those watching on tv - i am at the game and the defence looks like it is still on bye ...

[Horseman]

Porous O line AND a porous D, not a good combination.
