Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal - October 26, 2024

Alexander can be dangerous though.

That guy is one hit away from being on crutches. How many times have we seen a QB who thinks he's invincible get crippled? Too many, including Bombers (Streveler).

Sure, except if you're going to use that example, Streveler's big injury was actually in the pocket throwing the football and not taking on the middle linebacker in the open field.

I agree. It's the same kind of issue for Tre Ford. Very dangerous if he escapes the pocket but many of that kind of QB eventually gets injured and is never the same. However, Alexander has shown to be a good / accurate passer as well. He will gain some interest in free agency.

Rourke is another example. Teams have been able to limit his ability to escape and forcing him to be a passer. Losing Burnham and other injuries to receivers has made life more difficult.

Same with Alexander, if the Bombers can contain him from extending plays with his legs, they can force him to make bad decisions and inaccurate throws.

Hopefully Kelly can make a play or 3, it is his time to prove himself and belong.
They'll pick on him and Bond if they are smart

For those (like me) that stream TSN - I just realized that today's game is on CTV. However, we should be able to watch the game on the "enhanced data" feed on TSN+.

same boat....I hope you are right.

Well, here we go!

That was just the last time albeit the worst. He's been dinged many times before. Alexander ain't Streveler either.

No Sergio good field position however

USE BRADY PLEASE

[TecnoGenius]

Ford 100% INTed that ball on the 1st play.  Robbed by the refs.  No bobble.  Feet inbounds.  Too early to challenge.

Can't refs as command for help there??

[Tehedra]

So I can't watch todays game without a CTV subscription or TSN+ ??

[TecnoGenius]

2 things we know so far:

1. We can move the ball with a good plan.

2. MTL is playing high-risk / high-reward (deep shots) because they don't really care if they win.  This should bode well for our ball hawks.  Plus, they don't want to show us their true game plan lest we face them in the GC.

Walk next door to your neighbour and flip on their cable?
