Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Edmonton - Sept. 21, 2024

[Blueforlife]

Good road game.  We got this.

[TecnoGenius]

I hope Buck and Zach have a serious discussion at the half.  This was a disgusting display of ineptitude.  EDM D is a lower-half D in the league.  We are basically as healthy as we'll ever be on O this season.

Make something happen!

Being positive is good, but.


If we had even an average offence, this game would be over at half time.

If we could see the whole field we would know more.

[Pigskin]

Bad: Run D, Zach's Int, Castillo FG, Lawler drop.

Good: Tony Jones.

Ugly: Thomas penalty

[Tehedra]

I think that was a very very long kick for castillo; I wouldn't consider it bad.

2 Kenny drops killed drives.

Robbed on a called-completion on Pokey by auto-review which is rarely used in this case in this point in the game.  It might not even be allowed by rule (I'll check later).  Should have got the snap off sooner.  Just audible a Brady gut run and snap it.  Auto-review cannot stop a snapped play.

Many 1st down Bradys only getting us 3Y, good ones 5Y.  Not enough to waste a down.  Don't start every 1st down running.  EDM is run-stuffing, use that against them.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Don't like our chances in the second half.

That pokey pass looked like it bounced off the ground techno...

But yes get it to the other guys,

Zach , maybe not seeing the field very well.

Not disputing.  But the "new command" rules put near ultimate stock in what the on-field refs call.  And they called completion, no dissent on the field.  EITS overturned it.  There are rules governing when they can do that and for what type of play.

In the last 3 mins this is normal, in the middle of the game, not so much.

[TecnoGenius]

Don't like our chances in the second half.

I do, because now it's up to the braintrusts.  And I think our braintrust has more brains and experience than theirs.

The D will hold their own.  We need the O to wake up and shake off the dust.

Hey, aren't we off the bye?  Don't we basically always win off the bye?  This is the best game plan our O came up with?  Did we not take EDM seriously?

[markf]

I Hope they don't put McLeod in.

[TecnoGenius]

I want to see Brady start running like Armstead is on those highlights, and like Brown & Raskin are.  Where is that fire?

The guy who "reset the salary limit for RBs" is getting overshadowed by ELCs and low-paid 2-3 yearers.

[TecnoGenius]

I Hope they don't put McLeod in.

Isn't he out because of injury?  Just dressed for show?  He's got the uni on but no helmet nearby?  Anyone know the story?

Edmonton is also off a bye. The offense is severely limited mostly because we're not winning along the offensive line and the defense isn't going to get four turnovers in the second half. We'll probably see McLeod at some point.
