Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Calgary October 27, 2023

[Pete]

that last catch typifies what Sheed is all about

[Big Daddy]

Nice TD!

[Blueforlife]

Huge block for Jackson.  Key member of this club.

Dru's a slinger.  Buck gives him short + deep routes and Dru says "I'll take the bomb please".

Nice day for BOO: the 2nd fantasy vulture.  Darn, I didn't pick him.

[Blueforlife]

Bailey cramped up or pulled something in his leg

[TecnoGenius]

Oh no, not a good look for Bailey.  Non-contact injury often spells trouble.  Sheed is critical to post-season!!

What's the assessment?  Hammy like TSN said?  He was gripping the back of thigh, so unlikely knee, and hopefully not achilles.  He looked pretty upset on the sidelines in that quick shot.

[TecnoGenius]

BC is looking on pleased as punch CGY & WPG taking casualties in this nothing game.  It only helps them.  Odoms looks dinged.

That was 3rd & 2 and they threw it?  Do they want to hand us the game?

Time to put Maier back in.  They need to try to win for the home fans.  Or have they given up already?  Just need 2 TDs and some D stops.

Kenny will be fine, just landed on the ball in the ribs/guts.  Had a heart attack there for a second.

I don't know, that may not have budged too much!  Hit the turf, ya.  Maybe a catch?  Held it awkwardly though.

[TecnoGenius]

Hammy

Prognosis?  Be ok in 2 weeks?  3?

[Big Daddy]

Call me crazy, in the one shot I saw that lawler catch looked good for a td.  He never bobbled it, it hit the ground but if someone stretches out and catches, and while the ball is in full control of both hands it then hits the ground, but never moves, that would be a catch and TD.

It's less obvious because he was curled up, but there's no TSN discussion or analysis of course.

[bomb squad]

Ya, they do look too far apart?  Yes, definitely in the last-year configuration, not in the 2023 config.  This year they are the same width as the uprights.  Good catch!

Maybe they had it config'd for U sports recently.

This is actually the 2nd year of the narrower hashmarks. They must have had to redo the lines quickly because of ice and somebody goofed. They haven't been using them for ball placement in this game. There's a lighter mark further in they're using.

[Big Daddy]

That was an impressive throw and catch for DB and DW.  Seriously - DB on the run and off his feet and getting hit, DW sliding, keeping it in the air and off the ground, and securing.

We have awesome depth.

It's definitely on the field and old school.  Unfortunate as it looks bush league to get that wrong.  I haven't noticed, but you note they aren't using for ball placement, so that's good.

[Blue72]

Why haven't they thrown to Alstron at least once to see what could do
