Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg @ Edmonton, October 16, 2026

Where's Willie on that OSK?  I loved that plan.  No one can out reach and out-jump Willie.

Like shrimpkin Demski can do anything vs 7' Mack.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Another winnable game which we lost. I'm glad O'Shea looks less smirky and more frustrated. He needs to make different choices next year for once.

[tlf]

Kicker tryouts next year? That was pretty far.

[barbk]

I would pull for BC as well....

[Tecno]

Gross.  I hate Alexander and his cockiness so much. Never.

Rourke all the way if not us. At least he's Canadian and proud of it.

Right, but no way BC beats EDM.  They'll just run Rankin and Powell on everyone.

So EDM vs MTL.  Who do you root for?

On the bright side, EDM being in the cup guarantees a sell out as everyone drives the 3-4 hrs down.

EDM as I like Cody.  He's a fun competitor and loves the CFL..a great asset to our league. He's not cocky.. and is really great to fans at Grey Cup.  I would cheer for him in a heartbeat.

I also want to hear him give a speech so barbk has to hear his voice

[Tecno]

Disgusting game.  I think Killam understands morale & momentum better than any other coach.

Toy with the other team and stay within 10 most of the first half.  Then dissect them and destroy them in the 2nd.  The other team loses all morale and by then are really tired.

EDM is Rocky, we're Drago.  They let us get tired, then lay it on.

Mafia braintrust can't think that many moves ahead.  No conception of human nature, morale and fatigue.

Oh well, I guess EDM deserves to win then.  Imagine, winning the West when you have a Strev-type QB who doesn't have to throw.

[Sway]

That Would mean potential contact. Not in Willie contract

Willie has been on OSK Return team.  But that was years ok

[Blue72]

What do have to look forward to next year?
NO coaching staff
NO Defense
NO Offense
NO O Line
NO MLB
NO QBs
Bad NAT depth
A lot of ageing players

Okay that is funny...  got a good laugh ... good night everyone

[blueandgoldguy]

Fajardo didn't do all that much but he didn't make critical mistakes like Zach did.  Brady was pretty ineffective as was the Bombers' special teams (see the big return by Edmonton that set them up with a short TD). 

Bombers likely have to rely on BC to play Rourke and most of their starters for the majority of the Calgary game to qualify for the playoffs.  The wussy way!

See the "outcome" thread.  I think BC doesn't have to play for anything now.  So CGY has a great shot at winning.

I wouldn't call him Strev type.  He throws, they just game plan better than we do.  THey planned around our awful defense and how we can't defend against the run and they ran the game. 
This is the lowest he's thrown all year I believe. Probably due to our horrific D.  Makes sense to plan that way.

We should try doing that sometime.

[Mick]

Were in serious trouble. Bc has nothing to play for tomorrow. Likely calagry will win.

[Tecno]

Zach should be ashamed of himself.  He believed his week 19 hype and thought he was God.

Throwing 2 balls directly to LBers, like it's the '22 GC vs TOR... when is he ever going to learn?  When we go for all the mid-zone passes the other teams take a couple of gambles and clog up the holes for the easy INT.  (Why can't our LBers ever do this??)

Zach directly lost us this game.  Ya sure, we likely lose anyhow as EDM can turn the gas on at any time (they didn't have to this game), but at least we have a better shot.

Having zero run game ruins the balance and makes it way too easy for opponents to do these drop-backs.  You can see EDM's entire strategic game plan play out in real time, and we all know it and see it, and yet there's nothing Mafia can do about it?  They lay all of these traps and we play right into it, every time.

I really hate getting out-brained by these traditionally bad teams.
