Zach throws a pic first play back...

Looking like there could be a decent break in the storm just after 11 est. Will obvs depend on lightning but there's hope

Yes but over an hour

[Blue In BC]

Bombers deserve to lose this game. Maybe 0-2 will push them to actually reflect and evaluate their team

Let's see: Lawler, Oliveria, Parker, Lawson and Garbutt all on 6 game IR. Samson on 1 game IR. Bighill just back this week. Nichols, Haba and Fox all injured before half time.  That's 7 starters not playing before half time in game 2.  Injuries are part of the game but wow, that's an important group.

I'm not saying the Bombers should have won but that's a lot to deal with in the 2nd game of the season.

Bridges and Bond got torched on that big play to set up the TD. I thought Cole would be playing more at SAM to allow Kramdi to move into the secondary.

Def looked like some miscommunication. Looks like Bonds waved Bridges over for a switch when he really shouldn't have, and they were late getting to their guys/spots

Half the heart ripped out.

Yes but over an hour

11:15 isn't over an hour (eastern not central)

Also they have posted they're hoping to resume at 11:15 (eastern)

It's almost as if they could have used some practice playing together in a game situation before the season started.

If only there was some mechanism in place to achieve that.

Pretty sure they called the delay at 10:13, I think I heard TSN say.  So 11:15 would be too late.  However, maybe if they just say it's ok to return before 10:13 they don't actually have to start the clock again right at 11:13.

Looks like we might be hooped.

Here is your sloppy Joes extra sloppy.

[TecnoGenius]

not sure about that, I remember at our stadium a 2+ hour rain delay vs Hamilton and then the game resumed.

It's that game (and others) that made the league institute time limits.  It's been in place a couple of seasons now.  It will really suck if it bites us here, because it really looked like we might be getting something going there, and 2:09 leading to a TD usually means you win with 0:00.

[TecnoGenius]

Why is the time on the posts saying 2:00 am

You need to to go into your profile settings and change your timezone and DST.  I think it defaults to GMT.

Players back on at 10:05

You thought right.  That appears to be what they are doing.

If you want a player of the game for WPG, it's 100% Kramdi.  He's really stepped up.
