With Rookie Camp getting underway Wednesday morning, it's officially time to talk about the 2026 Winnipeg Blue Bombers!

Counter point: Brown was better than Maier but the Winnipeg receivers were much much worse than the Ottawa receivers.

I can only assume the playbook just read "run towards the middle into a pile of defenders".

I mean Dru Brown literally hit Nield in the face with a pass in the endzone.... But that stat goes on Brown's statline

grazed both hands then hit him in the face. I like nield but that’s salt in the wound.

We have Addison, and lee hull coaching wrs and execution is only getting worse. A bad drop game across the board is bad but isolated isn’t the end of the world. The fact no one has a damn clue what to do when the qb scrambles, none of the wrs can get on the same page as the qb, and none of the wrs are able to catch down field or catch short and gain yac, is really damning.

The biggest coaching loss we’ve had in a long time is kevin bourgoin. He should’ve gotten the treatment and opportunities that Hogan got. What he did with our rbs then wrs was incredible. Even when we didn’t have great talent at wr, we got the most out of what we had. Now, we get the least out of what we have.

Just enjoy the win & quit finding something to complain about. A beautiful win & an ugly win count the same in the stanings... two points.

I'll take a QB that has a below average game for 3 Q but puts the team on his back in the 4th Q any time, any day.

Yep. T Burg said Brown made 1 more play than Maier???

The way Dimwiddie treated Brown is strange considering he was a CFL qb with us & then a qb coach after that. You'd expect that from someone who never played the position.

Ever hear of the Peter Principle?

Oh, come on. You might like it- he could be surprisingly gentle.

Bombers released Mazzccua, Kaylin Moore & Christian Fredericksen from the PR today. Bit surprised by Mazzccua being let go.

More likely guys coming off the 6 game list.

Agreed. We have several guys who are eligible to come off and have been practicing.

Ethan Ball, Lane Novak, Tanner Schmekel and Kevens Clercius are the guys coming back off the 6 game.

Ball, Schmekel and Clercius should all see the AR. I kind of think Ball will end up on the PR though.

3DN says we've cut Fredrickson, Mazzccua, and Moore. We needed to clean out the PR and bring guys in but I thought Mazzccua was solid inside.

Winning the game literally is where fundamental QB comparion starts and ends. It's why Ottawa is 0-6 and we aren't.

It's why Tom Brady is who he is.

It's why Steven Jyles was who he was despite "sexy" stats.

You don't win without a capable quarterback - Especially a QB who can't make plays in the fourth quarter. When we absolutely needed a play, Dru made a play. He did the same thing a couple years back when Zach spotted Edmonton roughly a 3 TD lead on the road. Those are the players a locker room rallies around. Can you get the job done when it matters the most? Dru has shown in his time here, he can. This really isn't difficult to understand.

I think an even better, current, example is VA... he's absolutely torching the league right now... on pace for over 5000 yards, 51 TD, and ZERO picks... but the team is 2-4, so who cares?... meanwhile Fajardo has nice passing yards but only on pace for a 27-12 TD-INT ratio... but the team is 5-1, so they're very happy

Interesting...

Well, this didn't age well. Fajardo throws for 510 yards & four touchdowns. Lol.
