Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Edmonton, August 10, 2023

Zach not back...let the speculation begin if a concussion...may not be back for a while

I doubt it.  Watch the slowmo hit, nothing really hitting his head hard (including turf).  More like a weird angle and 300 lbs on your neck.  Tweaked it, get to the chiropractor.

No stupid penalties called by the refs, contain the run, and limit the turnovers and we still win this game. We have enough weapons on offense to overcome a two score deficit.

Lol and just as I say that, the refs throw us back 15 yards.

[TecnoGenius]

I am a bit in shock I think, lets see how the 2nd half starts, if we score quick it's a game...if Edm. scores quick then honestly we become a forever stat....who did Edm.break North Americas longest ever winless streak against

I hope to heck that guys were yelling this in the locker room.  Wake up and play the game of your life or you will be the pathetic statistic.

So far they seem far more fired up.  Get revenge for the 1st half.

What on earth is Cole thinking.  He will lose his roster spot real fast for this nonsense.  He had something like that in another game too.  Maybe his 3rd penalty?

[TecnoGenius]

The ones most nervous are those on the "guaranteed win" forever-ticket plan from week 1.  They're being faced with actually having to pay for next week's ticket.  Bet they are rooting for WPG!

Looks like Woli out as well...

He's in protocol.  Hopefully it's not for realz and he's fine next week.  But BOO so far has stepped up, and should get open as EDM will assume he can't play.

Amazing hard counts for Dru for 2 OSs.  More of that plz!

[The Zipp]

Bad throw by Brown to demski...

[TecnoGenius]

I think we're getting the momentum and morale back.  If we can get some big D plays we might really get rolling.  Then I think it'll be a field-position game where we inch down with punts in between.

12 points is within reach.  But Buck will have to be creative.

32 passing yards

I guessed 35!!  I knew it.

Hall needs to shut them down completely in 2nd half or it will be his most embarrassing worst game as a Bomber.

Disagree about Hall completely.  Over stated on the negative.  D gave up 2 majors.  Not that bad.

The only job this game was to stop the run.  Who didn't know this??

I really hate this "stay assignment sound" nonsense.  You need to adjust the game to suit your opponent.

Zach won't be back.  That is very bad news.  I would have lied and kept him dressed to put pressure on EDM that he might be back.

It's a tall ask of our O to get 2 more scores.  Assuming Hall figures out what everyone already knew.

We can score on ST and D.  2 scores f all.

To suggest everyone knew Edm exact game plan isn't true.  Pro ball is a chess match.

Might be neck.  We might not ever know.  I hope regardless they take their time.

Yup we are clawing back.  D is key.  I am looking for a simple run pass mix.  Creativity is a plus but vanilla is likely all we need.

Hall adjusted run D is boss now!

Nice throw Ford.

[TecnoGenius]

Force Ford to throw that pass all the rest of the game.  He will not succeed on more than 25%.

Great turnover.  Now we can steal all the momentum.

I want to see some pass-heavy O.  I don't care if they're all short/medium to be safe for Dru.  Be creative.  I don't want to waste every single 1st down on Brady getting 3.

[pjrocksmb]

Guess who is back D is back.

Kramdi there 1st with pressure on Ford.  Not good enough they say.  He is coming into his own.

[TecnoGenius]

Hall adjusted run D is boss now!

Yup, he finally got the memo.  Maybe it took MOS smacking him upside the head at the half.

Nah we scored with run and pass mix.  Brady is best RB in the league.  Give him the rock.  He can get close to 5 most times.
