I'm pretty much expecting to see three teams tied with 20 points at the end of the weekend based on the likelyhood of the home teams winning their games. Only problem for the Bombers is they have one less game remaining.

The Bombers just need one win to have the same record as they had last year. With that one win the Bombers would finish in the same place in the standings as last year, 3rd. They could lose out and still finish third. If the Bombers win out they would be finishing 2nd guaranteed and possibly 1st.

If that Smith catch wasn't a touchdown it certainly should have been a pass interference with the ball at the one.

Just started reading this on page 25 but did anyone else think that Saskatchewan was offside on the QB hit, fumble and turnover? I thought the play calling was poor, Harris was under-utilized and every team will want to make Streveler throw the ball. On the big Demski interception on one of the replays from behind the QB it looked like Adams was open on the right side before Streveler threw the ball.

Okay 30!

I'm trying. Also wondering what record the 12th win will be tying.

So, same as last week.

That is crazy, and after next week it could look even more possible.

Pipkin botched it. If the Als get a field goal BC has 60 seconds left to get a field goal to win it.

Might have been the nine Allouttes penalties vs the four the Bombers got.

CFL games didn't make it onto local TV if they were sold out 40 years ago or not.

There can't be anyone worse than those 630Ched guys.

The CFL has allowed forward fumbles for years and not just when the ball goes into the end zone.

Where was the running up the score?

Congratulation Bombers and Bomber fans! Other than the kick returns it was a textbook game from the Bombers. Glad to see the +131 team prevail over the +6 team.

I believe that statement should read 'Prior to 2007..."

Solid game by the Bombers. Congrats.

That sounds like pure unfounded speculation. Take 1995 for instance: Team Salaries Bonus Total Toronto $3,111,500 $567,500 $3,679,000 Hamilton $2,254,825 $418,530 $2,673,355 Ottawa $2,631,500 $350,000 $2,981,500 Saskatchewan $2,508,000 $261,000 $2,769,000 Calgary $2,366,500 $252,800 $2,619,300 B.C. $2,321,381 $47,500 $2,368,881 Edmonton $2,410,000 $35,600 $2,445,600 Winnipeg $2,819,050 $28,000 $2,847,050

When did the eskimos go over the cap?

Mass does need to control his temper and really should not have challenged that PI. There were only five seconds left in the half and winning it would have resulted in a field goal. The thing that most people in this thread seem to be ignoring is that Williams was going towards the ball and the Calgary DB was just running interference without even knowing where the ball was. Calgary was gifted a touchdown in the second half on a PI call that was similar in nature. If it is PI one way but not the other it makes you wonder why. Calgary gets pretty special officiating. An example of that is the official (#44) calling an interception on a trapped ball when he was in the same position as the camera that showed it was trapped. They were significantly outplayed that game but had a lot of help to get the win. Here are the stats to show how much they were outplayed.

I think he is in his fourth year.

I didn't realize that Trever Harris is older than Matt Nichols. Their career stats are very similar with Harris having a slightly better TD/INT ratio. Given a choice between those two I would take Nichols. Notice how the Eskimos had to use their challenge to overturn an obvious non-catch in Ottawa? There were a couple other trapped catches as well.

It was actually only one bad year, 2013. But it was very bad at 4-14. The next year they were 12-6.

What you are describing is a forward pass. It looked more like throwing it from the sixteen yard line and it being dropped on the 16 to me. The PI overturn was pretty weak and it looks like fishing trips are going to be way down in the future.

The most egregious of the blown calls was Jorden knocking down the DB in the end zone? The on-field officials correctly made that call. How that was changed to PI was truly amazing.
