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

[Pigskin]

The way Ottawa's QB was running today, why didn't Hall leave Biggie or Alexander in the middle to stop the chance to run?

Hall should have made that adjustment. I am thinking Clements was injured at some point in the game. Didn't see him at all in the 2nd. half.

Did we not score at all in the 2nd half (excluding OT)??

Embarrassing.

The worst part of the Brady fumble was he looked back and saw the D about to tackle him and he doesn't move the ball to be double-cradled.  A little extra effort and none of this happens.

Wolitarski scored a TD in the 3rd qtr to make it 25-9 (or 25-6, I can't recall at the moment).

Our D always has problems containing a good running QB....he ran for over 100 yards.    Zach was pressured again and our ground game was stopped at the line of scrimmage.  

This one stings.....beaten by a fourth string QB with a 17 point lead at the 3 minute warning....

That aside, it's good for the CFL as Ottawa looked like they were dead in the water after losing their 2 starters.    Congratulations to Bob Dyce and Kjhari Jones for calling a great game and clawing back snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

it's going to be a quiet flight back on the plane to Winnipeg

Brady could have also stepped out as he was close to the side lines

[Lincoln Locomotive]

We may not have home field advantage for the western final......yeah yeah it's only July but these kind of losses are impactful when it comes to winning the home field bye for the western final....

That play was so frustrating on so many levels. His awareness was totally out to linch on that one.

indeed we need Saskatchewan and BC to flounder now. Calgary win tonight would be a good start.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

The fact that we had two turnovers on downs inside the Red Zone and still managed to lose this game.    Crum had 265 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing.....

still stupefied by this total collapse.....

lots of posters on here gave the RBs zero chance despite all our last 4 games being very close.....I read comments like "can't touch us" when the game was still hanging in the balance....some hubris there for sure.

[GOLDMEMBER]

It is so disturbing how this team knows how to shut it down when they think they are dominating.

Even Bucks play calling was strange and unimaginative.

They are  feeble from a mental stand point.

Very humbling defeat. Full marks to Ottawa whom most left for dead. We have some serious problems that need some addressing, not sure if this team has what it takes this year, despite all the press and BS.

[Blue72]

Our Oline has been pretty weak this year also our LBers are a little above "average" except for Biggie. Need some changes soon, Wilson should help if we get the old Wilson back

[Blue72]

With our running game NOT working today why would Buck call two running plays at the end of the game the way the oline played

[GOLDMEMBER]

idiotic play calling playing not to lose instead to choking them to death.

DL was excellent

DBs suddenly could not make plays in the last 3 mins anymore. Guys wide open all over the place.
