Winnipeg at Edmonton Game Thread Saturday, September 21, 2024

Game starts in about two hours.

Not the two best teams in the league by record, but the two best teams via site power rankings. Certainly the two hottest teams in the league.

Could be a barnburner, or not. I personally have zero feel for how the game will go. Let’s hope it lives up to the hype as the most anticipated game of the week.

Currently 15C in Edmonton Wind is SSW 15 km/h Kicking in the south end of the stadium (opposite end from the video screen) may be treacherous today.

Got time to make a quick meal after the first game .
Looking for a great one for game two.
May the best team win and nobody gets hurt… Well at least not too much.

Just heard on CJOB, K Wilson is not ready yet…he’s out.

That’s terrible news. One of the top LB’s in the league. Was really looking forward to his return. Next week hopefully.

If he felt his shoulder wasn’t ready in warmup, can’t see it being ready in 6 days. Have to hope after that.
Ayers & Jones need to step up.

2 of the worst teams to start the year to the hottest teams right now.
10-1 in their combined past games

Wilson being out doesn’t mean I made this prediction but verifies it.
Look for Elks to do a slow squash on the Big Blue Bombers, as I predicted in another thread already.

Bombers might be competitive for the first 3 or 4 series - but after be prepared to be depressed Bomber fan.

O’Shea will just shrug it off - as he should.

The Marbles will be on the line next week in Wpg.

Could be 24,000 to 27,500 in Commonwealth today. Bombers bring the crowds, that they do. But mostly because they’re vulnerable.

Most of the hype has been about the Ford twins squaring off against each other! But that could be fun!

Lets Go Kenny! Nice catch

Lets go Brady! nice run

Shoulda had that one Kenny…

Lets Go Sergio! Nice FG

I think its a decent crowd, considering what they had been getting earlier in the year

Just hope that the Bombers can stay within 30 Lyle.

Fine, but I’m sure there’s not even 20k in the stands. Looks closer to 15k max.

That would be disappointing. I guess Chris Jones did more damage with that franchise than I even thought.

Saw what you did there son. Ha-ha. Be careful what you wish for.

Hope I’m wrong.

By a whisker!
