Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg @ Edmonton, August 21, 2026

Remember MOS gambling on the Edmonton 5 yard line instead of kicking the FG, how big did that turn out to be.

I like that they went for it but the play call was wrong. Give it to Brady to get the first down (3 yards I think) and then get another set of downs. Just another dumb call by the OC.

[Blueforlife]

Sure, but how many times do ppl complain we don't go for it? It is big looking back but I'm personally happy we tried something different.

I'm not over 90% of folks take the 3 ther3
Over reaction to previous mistake
Desperate measures

Thought this one was mostly on Zach. He had numerous opportunities and just whiffed on them.

You always think that. It is tiring. How about that defense? Oline? Yeah, them too.

[Sway]

Feels like Elks just came down to earth at half time and realized what beats the Bombers and just went and did it

Bombers get a little too fancy in 2nd half and get away from Brady

Good game, defence played way better. Elks keyed on Brady second half and we had no answer plus elks turns the ball over a couple of times to help us out in the first half.

I thought O wilson was invisible out there for.the second straight gsme if Singer isn't worthy of a start being in geno, Denali and white can't carry the load we need a third receiving thfeat.

Poor play calling in the red zone in the 1st half. Slightly under threw Wilson, pass too wide to White and an under throw on 3rd down with a turnover on downs. So 3 chances for a TD and we end up with 6 points.  Not going for the FG on 3rd and 3 was a bonehead call.

Throwing long passes on 2nd and short in the 2nd and short not too bright. 

It's not going to get any prettier from here on out.

Sums it up very well

That 1st half is peak Bomber ball and we threw it out

Dog fight now

We needed this one to save our season, next string of games almost impossible

[Jesse]

My position stands.  Not a bad Qb.

You just have no evidence for it.

Good pts
Wilson was ok imo

[Jesse]

That's what happens when you blow your challenge a few mins into the 1st Q.  No incentive for the refs to play it straight.

I'm glad we challenged there and we should have won.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Collaros can't make the throws or take the hits anymore. If ever a quarterback looked broken, it's Zach. Oliveria can't run if he's schemed out.

Jordan Younger's defense hasn't played a full game all season. I'm not sure if Nichols has broken up a pass all season. Kelly routinely torched. Dropped INTs. A good half doesn't make a defense good.

A very winnable game lost.

[towelie]

I didn't hate Condells calling as much as some here. Zach just straight missed a lot of throws, and got trigger shy on a few others when he had guys open and took the sack. But they really do need to change some of our predictable patterns.

Younger gameplans are just horrid this year. When we need to stop guys short we're playing way off the line. Were giving them freebies in zone. Rushing 3 at bad times. Edmonton almost let us win this by trying to go longer too often. Were the easiest team in the league to get 8-12 yards on with how soft we play.

How many drops before we drop Nield? Can we please see Singer or Womack?

Texada should get a look at corner IMO. Moxey made one great play but has otherwise been below average all year. Vaval looks like he can make some plays but looks a little out of place on anything that isn't a deep ball.

We spent a lot of money this off-season. And outside of a few spots I legit believe we have enough good players to be a strong team. But we're looking out coached all over the field. How long does management let this rot in this "win now" mode we're in?

[Blueforlife]

You just have no evidence for it.

Poster said Zach was a bad QB.  He is not.  The evidence was presented based on his record and cups.  Fake news.

Below average as of late.  At the end of his rope.

You have no content here just stiring the pot.

[Blue In BC]

Oh look. Hazen made an ST today. That was better than adding another import receiver?

Kelly made two horrible plays. I wasn't too impressed with K. Wilson either. Weak links beyond bad tackling in general.

Coming out flat in the 2nd half was predictable and giving up a TD to end the half also predictable.

I think I can see the bottom of the 5 gallon garbage can.

Bombers couldn't maintain their first.half energy and intensity and faded to black. collaros body language said it all, he looked down and beat the entire second half , just moped out there

[Tecno]

I'm glad we challenged there and we should have won.

No, I said at the time, well before the verdict, that we would lose.  Why did I know but MOS didn't?  We would win more games if MOS had me on hand to tell him when not to challenge.  I study this stuff and clearly understand it better than he does.  I called the other bad early challenge the other week too.

The league doesn't care that your QB is glass and can't take a tap onto his butt.  We might care.  But to no other QB is that "roughing" -- they'd just laugh at it.
