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

Win this and they're in...? Hope the boys are fired up tonight!

Bombers 31 Elks 14

I think if Edmonton beats us tonight, BC can shut it down for the rest of the regular season because Calgary can't catch BC in the standings, and BC has the season series over the Riders.   

[BLUEBOMBER]

The BB will need to put up a great defensive game if they want to beat the Elks today.

Without Ayres and Smith, it's going to be tough. One of our Canadian LBs is going to have to take his game to next level because Jones, Wilson, and Griffin can not play every play on D.

Disagree, defensive rotation has only become a big thing in the last decade, before that it wasn't uncommon for the D-line and LB's to play the entire game.

If they have to rely on a Natl. LB to take reps I'd put my money on Cadwallader to contribute in running situations, he's a beast and can physically dominate players when isolated one on one.
