bc wants montreal/hamilton instead of playing at home??

does rourke stink in big games?

9/11 for 193 in a half.

[markf]

bc has a good running back, but

Buck just does not like to run the ball.

[The Zipp]

9/11 for 193 in a half.

and losing

[Jesse]

and losing

It was within a score and now they're winning. He was hardly having a bad game. He opened the scoring with a 63 yard TD pass.

[Sway]

I don't see Sask making GC

Either Blue or BC gonna take them out

Anything can happen in the playoffs but they're way overrated.

[Sway]

Can't count on Sask for anything

[The Zipp]

i am not sure bc beats them at home in the potential cold. 

i think bc will beat calgary in a very close one.

[Blue In BC]

Meh, that is a matter of opinion as all.

I'm a traditionalist and wanted the Bombers to play a semi in the west. Why would you not want the same?

i believe sask at home will be very hard to beat.

No way Bombers would be beating the stamps and riders on the road.

Off to Montreal. We can beat those guys.

Our best chance of winning is through Montreal. If Alexander pulls his hamstring again and MBT the turnover machine has to go in, anything can happen. And we're the underdogs, its easier to play when everyone expects the other team to win---we know that only too well!! We need to get Demski back and we have a chance

The non-TD/fumble/non-TD:

a) By my computer measurements, the ball at it's closest (in frame by frame) did break the plane by a fraction of an inch.

b) The whistle went because the dude thought it was TD -- it was too early to be any sort of DBC and the dude didn't get DBC for quite a while anyhow.  So I think we can exclude the whistle for DBC.

c) If (b) is correct, he whistled for a TD, then the call on-field should have been TD.  That would require an overturn on review -- and my point (a) above would make it so it's not "clear & obvious" and it would remain a TD.

d) The "play is over" or "forward progress" whistle negating the SSK return TD is fair because CFL has done this many times (including to us if memory serves, most recently to Demski).  No one likes it, but the only solution is to once again remind the refs not to blow whistles.

e) I think the CFL needs to explain what the whistle was for -- did that ref call TD?  If not, he should be reprimanded as no one was anywhere near DBC, and it wasn't even a question.  And if it was whistled a TD, then explain how/why it got overturned when it appears to have crossed (to see this you need to pause on the right frame and draw a vertical line (hold up a ruler if you want) and follow it down to the leading edge of the goal line).

Could have been for an incomplete pass as well. Too bad we lose the shot of the sideline/goaline referee with the whistle in his mouth. If he thought it was a touchdown, he should have signaled it first, then blew his whistle. If he did raise  his hands, that would have been obvious to everyone in the stadium and difficult to take back. I think the referees got together and decided it was an inadvertent whistle. It happens. Very rarely, but it happens. Good luck on hearing an explanation from the league though. They no do stuff like that.  The TSN guys can definitely do a better job of getting to the bottom of these calls as well.

[Tecno]

Well, command did "give back" the potential bad call giving Hatcher the TD late in the 4th.  I definitely think it was a TD (because that 2nd hand never moved even when the nose touched the turf), but Crazy Command could have easily said it moved or touched too much... they've done it before (Bailey's 2019 GC TD...).

Ya, it was so stupid of TSN to not show any shots of that whistle ref, even on replay.  Maybe they didn't want to add embarrassment to the situation.
