Official Game Day Thread - Montreal @ Winnipeg, August 28, 2026

[Tecno]

In my studying and grading of Kyrie, he's not usually the main problem. I'm fact, often he's not the problem at all. Sometimes he's the only one getting penetration and shedding blocks to make tackles.

Hate on a lot of players, but ease up a bit on Kyrie.

How about looking at ceresna, who is vastly underperforming his salary and expectations. He almost never makes a stop on runs through his gap. And he quits faster than anyone on plays.

Last game it was Woodbey who did all the screwing up and cost us big in the 2nd half. If griffin was in we likely win that game. Woodbey is not ready.

We added Santos-Knox in free agency so that would appear to suggest K.Wilson was on the bubble. I agree he's not the only player that is an issue but he is never the less an issue. He's not a side to side capable LB and that's what we need to help improve our defence.

JSK had 80 DT's in 2025. K.Wilson had 49 DT's. So far this year only 29 DT's.

Watch the inside Als run game tonight and see if he's a factor or a liability. I don't see him making may TFL or at the LOS. We give up 5 - 8 yards often right up the gut.

[Jesse]

Nichols officially out.

Vaval starting at corner, Williams covering HB.

Ok. Are we adding another import on the roster? Either as a back up returner or DB? Or even Jaworski.

We should have went all in and got Sankey, the guy's a beast and no way any team runs up the gut on him. We have flyweights playing a heavyweight position.

from Ed Tait:

Deatrick Nichols out; Major Williams to half; Trey Vaval at CB and Ridge Texada on the roster

[Waffler]

They are going to test Vaval. We'll see now if he can do both jobs or not. He'll be more tired than he's been all year.

That should give another option when we want a 6 DB defensive set. Once we lost Ball to injury we had a gap in filling that role.

[gobombersgo]

Its going to be a sell out.

Sweet. It can't possibly be worse.

Ya, I see Nicols in civvies. Texada dressed and warming up. I think this will be great to get a look at someone other than Nicols. If it goes great Nicols may be cough injured the rest of the season.

Update: no one booed the band when they performed at the Tailgate.

[Tecno]

Bingo appears to be absent the updated Bombers app. It never did work for me. Then again my Fido mobile service is virtually unusable all game, so it's pretty irrelevant to me. Rogers must put their discount subsidiaries on throttle. I see people in front of me watching full speed streaming videos all game!! I can barely load this text only site!

sweeett flyover
