Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Ottawa, July 15, 2023

Wow, we just lost to the Ottawa lowlifes using a 3 rd string Qb. Biggest stinker game in a long long time

[pjrocksmb]

Why does Buck like running up the middle all the time especially today

Because it's worked all year.  Needed to adjust.

[Cool Spot]

25-9 lead with over 3 minutes.....I'd call that a total meltdown on both sides of the ball.   Crum looking like a hall of famer.....had a feeling it would be a hard fought game but to implode like this is worrisome.    We are definitely beatable.....

Ottawa's offense just kept pushing downfield and scoring without issue. They drove and came away with 3 points, then deep in the redzone and turned it over on downs twice, then a TD (via interception), then a drive down the field for a TD, and then a drive for a TD in overtime.

Unreal ball movement on so many consecutive drives.

Wow....good for Crum, what experience and what a memory he just made for himself!!

As for us, we will be chasing T.O all season, let's just hope we aren't also chasing BC....

We made a few mistakes and that's all it took for Ott to capitalize, now we can all stop with this dominating dynasty nonsense. We need to play clean to win and today showed us that....oh well on to the next week

 No running game. Tackling was pretty bad .. a few lucky catches late but letting the qb run up the middle . Our d looked tired.  Good pressure but couldn't tackle or cover

One of the bigger turnarounds I have seen, unexpected but Crum and Ottawa D wouldn't say no today.  Good battle.

Bombers learned a good lesson today. It's a 60 minute game. The other team wants to win too. It's good it wasn't the playoffs. Bombers are still favored to win it all.

Yeah this will really help his development and this win is big for them and the league.  Need young Qbs to make hay.  You nailed it.  We played some dirty ball.  Gave it to them on platter and they clean up.

No one picked Ottawa to win on the pick'em contest.  Honestly I hope they don't take Edmonton lightly on Thursday.

Agree lots of lessons to be learned.  Take your licks early, adjust, get healthy and figure it out.  We will know better by fall who is for real.

Should have offered double points lol.  I expect the same as I did this week.  We should smoke em but as we seen anything can happen.

wow that?s embarrassing

Was Haba not playing today? We lacked pressure in the second half and I have yet to see Bennett do a thing when in the lineup.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Well I am shocked.

Good point didn't see him but did see Bennett
  Usually late in the game Haba takes off.
