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

No TO left, they wasted it a snap or 2 before.  Only 1 TO after the 3min.

You get 2 TO per half of football, no restriction after 3 min, you can burn both if you want in the last 2 minutes

Great day for Manitoba. Bombers end up in first place in the West. Jets win another one, and are 8-0 to start the season. The Bison's beat UBC 51-38, to end up 7-1 and first in the CW.

Even God hates the Riders

There are 2 timeouts per team for the whole game.

Both Mtl and Wpg had 2 timeouts at the 3 minute warning so they both lost 1.

I'm still in shock. Winning 1st place on the last play of the last game of the regular season. Luck / fate were on our side. It's never over until it's over as they say. Bombers had their fair share of bad luck this season. Serious / numerous injuries and more turnovers than usual. Missed opportunities and points left on the field.

Regardless. We're top dog in the west.

We got lucky, but I'll take it.

Montreal should have run around in the endzone after the missed FG. Taken the ball on the 40. Run 2 sweeps instead of up the gut. Would have burned an extra 10 seconds easy. Even if they have to punt, we're no where near FG range.

There is no guarantee that the ball would have bounced into the endzone. If they didn't catch the ball they would have likely have been pinned deap in their own end.

not thrilled with our defensive effort - this business if rushing 3 - then having the LB just stand there AND there still being recievers open drives me bonkers.

Which missed FG, the first one?  That one actually reached the end-zone, the second one fell short.

He caught the ball on the 2 yard line. It would have gone into the endzone for sure. 

[GOLDMEMBER]

I am still trying to get over what happened yesterday!

Just an amazing event.

Maybe the right play call in hindsight, problem is nobody thought of it beforehand and you can't play football prepared for the worst case scenario in every situation, the game is already complicated enough.  Sometimes **** happens.

The key to it all was insisting on having the wind at our backs in the 4th. Without that decision none of this happens. Whether intellectual brilliance, or a gut feeling, or pure set-in-his-ways stubborness, give O'Shea a pat on the back for that decision. It meant everything and again, without it, none of this happens. Thanks coach!

Bombers Win!

The punt and winning field goal.
