Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg @ Edmonton, October 16, 2026

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

The narrow scope game plan needs to have success with Brady. He should get the ball 15-20 times. If that is happening then he's having success which has many benefits. It helps control TOP, field position and sustain drives. It also forces the LB's into the box which opens up the passing game and slows down the rush.

Obviously we'd like to have similar success passing like last week. However, 2 of Brady's best games came against the Elks. We know that and they know that.

Which team has the better day with the output in that area?

It's not new or any secret. Can we win that LOS on offence.

Not sure what the Elks have to play for but guessing they'll run at 3/4 speed with a lot of starters taking half the game off, including Fajardo.  If the Bombers put in their best effort they should be able to win.

Elks play lights out so they can secure the home playoff game then they take their foot off the gas. They are not going in 3/4 with that still no secured and not playing at home. No way the Elks take it easy

I think BC won the season series. So, if I am Edmonton, it's pedal to the metal.

You're right 1st place is tighter than I thought it was.
