Tough loss for Edmonton on a bad drop. Perfect throw from Fajardo. Good for us in our fight to stay ahead of BC and Edmonton.

Gutting out that win last night is going to do a lot for our team psyche going forward. Hopefully it's the start of a roll for us. It was at about this point in the season last year that we went on a 10 game heater.
Go Bombers!

He has dropped more than his fair share of passes this year, but that definitely was the biggest, cost them the game

bet they wish they had spent the money on Eugene lewis rather than Robbie smith

I'm at the end of 3Q, and I'm wondering, has Milanovitch gone mental?  What's with the weird gambles and BLM punting?  Are they trying to lose by "going against the book" so much?

Does he not trust the his D?  That one guy they lost is that important??

Also, HAM D thought they could mail this in?  They are tackling like we did last week.  And the HAM OL is having issues protecting BLM?  What's up with that?  Did the lineup change this week?  They were much better in prior weeks.

What a weird game.  And now one batch of dark clouds in an otherwise blue sky.  Well, they did say it was a scorcher... always a storm risk.  I only set the PVR for the normal 3 hrs though, so I'm going to have to wait for the replay and probably get spoilers when I start watching the SSK game.  Grrrrr.

Well that explains a bit of the strange HCing.

They don't carry a backup or emergency LS like we usually do?  We usually have a very competent dressed one.  It should be a cliff and total disaster for a team, otherwise they didn't shape their AR correctly.

Ah, no ending to the clip?  Did we win??  My son is stoke to find out and this clip leaves us hanging!  (LOL MOS as the LS...)

If you placekick, do you not have to follow the illegal-punt-OOB rules?  Or was there no IPOOB rule back then?

That's a strange quirk to the rules if you can PK directly OOB but can't punt it.  You'd think you could find a way to take advantage of this exception in certain game situations.

Unless I am mistaken this was week 17, 1999.  A Bomber win. 18-13 final

Woot!  13-4 at the start of the clip.  A great clawback win.

Nah, looks good on him.  No matter what he does, I'll never like the guy.  If he ever suits up in blue & gold, I may have to quit!

Ya, that's mean & rough.  Oh well.  I'm entitled to dislike 2 QBs (guess who my other one is...).

That said, he's better than Ford!  EDM gave HAM a huge scare there.  That would have been the upset of the week.

Who do we have on the AR that is our back up LS? I think Novak has some experience but he's injured now.
One game at a time.

The final score was 18-13 for Winnipeg. It took a 94 yard TD pass from Kerwin Bell to Nigel Williams with 36 seconds left on the clock to put Winnipeg ahead.

The penalty for a punt OB is a relatively new rule. A FG attempt that fails to score is treated as a punt which means the penalty for Illegal Punt OB would apply today.

Shayne Gauthier did the long snapping when Mike Benson was injured.
