Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal - October 26, 2024

Something is wrong with Wheatfall. We didn't throw to him once this game. I'll have to check but he's been invisible.

He's the guy Zach was miffed with on field for running the wrong route.

If Woli's back for WDF, we always have the option of playing Emperor instead of Wheatie.

The wind made the play of the game. How ironic. It resulted in better field position then when we tried the long FG that missed. With swirling wind and rain, it was still not a certainty that we'd be successful.

There is a lot to complain about in this game but we still pulled it out. Our problems are clear but on a given day we can beat anybody.

I'm in shock but I like our odds in the WDF. My preference would be against the Riders because I think VAJ is capable of long quick strikes. Harris is more of a ball control sort of QB.

Weather could be a critical deciding factor but the home field advantage might push us into the Grey Cup.

I deleted my post about this after checking. He was targeted a couple of times. However yes Collaros ripped a strip off him earlier and he was not effective. At the very least he should be taking DB's deep to open others up.

If Woli is back that would be great but I haven't seen any indication he's practised at all. If he is able to play that would be good for depth at worst and for 2nd down conversions.

We have 2 weeks for him to be ready if he has a chance of returning. I'm not sure if anyone else might be ready by then.

That top's anything I've seen in watching CFL football. Anything. A true miracle. From off the field no less. Stakes so high for two teams. Ecstasy for one. A crushing blow for the other (again). Beautiful.

Stunned. Stunned and happy. I never gave up until we missed the long one. We needed a miracle so big that it came from the heavens. And it happened. Stunned.

Feel so good for Calvillo with what happened last week.

Wheatfall maybe didn't follow the scramble rules. Zach waved at him but he just kind of drifted wider.

Here's the thing about divine intervention: you may not believe it, but a lot of players do because they are religious.  Witness the large circle gatherings after every game, and the many players who cross or signal to God before plays.

Opponent players that are religious will see this and may be disheartened if they think we have the mandate of God.  Conversely, our team players that are religious will get energized.  Again, you may think it's silly or overblown, but this is real to those players, and belief is 30% of football.

I bet 5-10 more Bombers went to that end of game circle today than usual...

Rider fans would be devastated over this win....winning on the road is never easy....especially in the playoffs

I didn't want to see Mace's face after the game... I wanted to see the crowd!!  Maybe the SSK game will show some shots of when they lost.  Or maybe not, ... a bit uncouth.
