A gutsy win by the Blue and Gold
Terrific, entertaining football game.
Greg McCrae
Nic Demsksi
Buck Pierce's game calling

The Bad

Calgary kept it far to close
Zach's 2 interceptions in the end zone...but played well in the rest of the game.
Winston getting beat badly on a Calgary TD

The Ugly

Roughing call on Willie.  Absolute nonsensical call.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Good

Brady
Zach
Demski
McRae made some plays
OL was much better
Leggio
Crowd!


Bad

Rose
Lack of interior DL pressure
Willis needs to step up
Turnovers!

Ugly

Nothing

[The Zipp]

Our hurry up offense is a hot mess. 

[Tee42]

We won. Defense, don?t want to call them ugly but? Office much better. Legs, got to give him credit to bounce back after the last showing. There have been so many eyes on special teams, and kicking, it shows that this Kicker has the mental capacity to be a great kicker. Let?s focus on the areas that really need improvement. OurD has been stellar in the past but what happened today?

[Lincoln Locomotive]

The Good:
- Rutledge with 10 tackles
- McCrae making a spectacular TD grab and showing his versatility
- Demski was a stud tonight....
- Legghio was batting a  1000 tonight.....great bounce back game for him
- Zach making big  plays when they count after throwing 2 end zone picks
- all our receivers made BIG plays when we needed them
- Jake Maier is the new Stamp QB....awesome game!
- Carey and Logan a great 1/2 combination
- Bomber fans
- for thrills it doesn't get much better than that....


Bad
- two end zone picks
- injuries, injuries and more injuries
- RTP call wiping out a defensive TD which would have sealed the game

Ugly

- Houston pulling up lame on Calgarys first TD and then carting off his backup only a few plays later.

[TBURGESS]

The Good:
Two good teams battling right down to the end - What more can a fan ask for?
Another close win - They don't ask how, they ask how many
McCrae - That TD catch was Burn-em-Esc
Demski - When we needed a big play he provided it
Jefferson - Beat their tackle consistently

The Bad:
Reffing - Quick whistle gave us the ball back + 3 unearned points. Phantom holding call on 3rd down gave us the ball back. Those 2 calls gave us the win. Teams should decide the game, not the refs.
Collaros - Two end zone picks + a fumble

The Ugly:
More injuries

FTR:
The Jefferson RTP was the right call. The CFL has been consistent about hitting a QB in the head/shoulder area being RTP. It was an incomplete pass, not a fumble and a TD.
Roughing the kicker has nothing to do with roughing the passer.
The call was right on the quick whistle. Calgary didn't immediately get the ball after the fumble. The problem was the quick whistle in the first place. Let it play out, then give the command center the final call.

[bwiser]

The Good-Demski was outstanding all game
              -Great crowd
              -Bombers find a way to win a tight game
              -Parker playing decent after being thrown into a difficult situation
The Bad-Defence gave up way too many yards on the ground
            -Way too many missed tackles
            -Taylor looked lost on special teams
The Ugly-The officiating left a lot to be desired, bad calls both ways
             -turnovers
             -injuries

[Pigskin]

I like the way Parker returns kick offs.

I disagree with both your points on the penalty calls, but agree with you on the fumble call.

The RTP call on WJ5 was a phantom call. My opinion is based on what I saw at the game and from what I?ve read in post game articles and tweets from former CFLers.

The call on Calgary?s OC  was clearly a hold on Bighill. The OC  prevented the MAC from escaping the middle of the line to pursue the RB. You could argue holding goes on all the time, but on a critical play where the RB, OC & MAC are the key players - it was an easy call to make.

The play call was to get the RB outside and away from the MAC, and the OC was assigned to keep the MAC from tracking behind the line to pursue or cut off the angle of the RB?s run. The OC didn?t get in front of the MAC, so he elected to hold him just enough to prevent the MAC from getting the edge on the RB.

One could debate if the hold was needed to prevent the play, as it did appear as though the RB got a good jump on the MAC. But neither the OC or ref could see or make that judgement. Thus the hold & the call we?re made.

And let?s remember the BB O moved the ball and killed the clock when they needed to, and they were in FG range on the final drive.

It was a great game by both teams and a well-deserved win by the BB - who battled thru losing a couple of key starters (Houston & Oliveira) in the 1st half.
