Edmonton at Winnipeg Game Thread Friday, September 27, 2024

Something was off tonite. (Not the Bombers, they massacred a surging Elks squad).
I finally realized it about a quarter into the BC late game.

No Dustin Man-Child on the stick. Rockin’ Rod Smith on the stick with the laconic guy in Winnipeg while Farhan takes the mic w/ Old Glenny in the late game. Where’s Baby Hughey? He usually refuses to miss games. Could he be sick?

What a video game stat line for Collaros tonight! 21/26, 432 yards, 6 TDs! That’s over 20yds/completion!

Most confident I’ve seen him all year. Wasn’t worried about a collapsing O-Line. He also had a few successful scrambles too.

Maybe that bye week did some wonders for his head space.

Denny vs. Fireball Bob, right?

Yes, but Denny was a bust.

lol. That same sentence probably cost us a Grey cup :rofl:

One last thing on this game. Of all the spots on the bingo card, look which one was missing :rofl:

Note this card also had total 200+ yards rushing and total 500+ yards passing

Do you have a picture of what all the squares on the card were?

The way the Bombers outplayed the Elk you would think the Bombers had the bingo card made to their strengths.
Elk were powerless to stop
Anyway that’s the way it was drawn up

This is the gist of them.

No, the Elks defence spent so much time on the field they were worn out by halftime.
The Big Pylon lived up to his name in the first half and did nothing to keep the Elks offence on the field more than 4-5 plays a possession. He has one of the best receivers in the league who never saw a ball until he threw a tantrum like usual when MBT is QB.

Jackson wants a pocket passer so he can trot out the same old crappy playbook year after year with no effort - Ford and the RPO makes him put effort into the playbook and that’s like, work and hard…

A crappy play book as you call it will work if executed properly.
Elk are missing something on O and it seems to be both first and second string QB not able to sustain drives… No matter who is one and two . The bombers simply exploited the weaknesses on the Elk O & D to perfection.
Teams that lose more than they win get outplayed way freaking more than the excuse of defeating themselves with poor play
