Official Game Day Thread - BC at Winnipeg, June 12, 2025

Had a smoker with an actual cig standing near my seat at the game.  I've seen vapers doing the ol' hidden-in-the-hand thing before, but never seen someone with the audacity to light a real one up!

If they do it next game, should I turn them in?  My kids really don't like the smell.  They don't want a big scene though, so it would have to be on the down low.

To the smoker, if you're on this forum reading this... not cool, don't do it again.

Did you see Buck's influence on the 2 min drill in BC?  He brought that from his time in WPG.  BC used to suck at this.  We are the league-best, well at least top-2 (we were the best 2+ seasons ago).  We had dropped off on our drill in 2024.  But Buck made sure BC would have this super power this season.

Was the first Demski TD pass the exact same play Strev made to AH33 in the '19 GC?  Interesting... worked then too!

The DB-falling-down TD pass to Hatcher: wasn't there a hint of OPI there?  Both REC hands are on the DB kind of pushing him down.  Would he have gone down without that?

I'm fine with the non-call, but a bit miffed the hands on/push wasn't even mentioned, and MOS didn't seem too interested in a challenge.  The DB should have protested more after he was on the turf, to ham it up to at least have people look at it.

As a scoring play could they possibly get an OPI call automatically from command?  Or is this one of those non-auto-review aspects?

P.S. I was kinda blaming Bridges earlier for all the bombs, when on second look it was basically both corners plus Parker screwing up pretty much equally.  Our HB's were solid though, and BC veered away from them.  Smart move.  And the INTs helped even things out.  I hope the secondary does way better in the rematch.
