The June 25 loss to Edmonton is a microcosm of self-inflicted errors, not a talent deficit

In that 23-18 loss, Winnipeg had six fumbles (three lost), allowed three sacks, and missed two field goals—yet still led 18-17 in the fourth quarter before surrendering a touchdown with 53 seconds left. The Bombers' margin for error is zero against top teams, as they consistently outplay opponents but sabotage drives with turnovers.
