Seeing as how clock-and-dagger this regime has been with injuries... is it possible Davis was hurt in the B.C. game, prompting his untimely yank? Would also explain why they'd give him the week off...
Interesting thought... I was thinking something similar in response to an earlier post about why Davis was pulled when he was just starting to get into a groove. He may not be too hurt to play if absolutely necessary and why he could still be dressed as the backup, but there might be something that they don't want to aggravate by having him start.

On Monday's Coach's Show O'Shea stated that he discussed RTP with the officials on the sideline and they declared it to be incidental contact, so he didn't want to waste his challenge. Now it appears with the fine to Tracy they have changed their minds yet again.
That's kinda BS... contact to the head is contact to the head, incidental or not. The fact that there was a subsequent fine just makes it that much worse that they called it wrong in the game.

Pretty obvious O'Shea or Walters didn't want anything to do with him when he was available, he skipped Wpg. on his cross Canada tour event. It does look like he is now approaching his pre-NFL form, so it's a pity he wasn't considered an option.
I think you are confusing Mulumba and Muamba.

I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I thought when they did the auto-review for turnovers, that they could declare the turnover was caused by a UR penalty and overturn it without a coaches challenge?
Agreed, because the RTP is what caused the fumble and turnover, so I feel like the only way to overturn the turnover call is to make the penalty call so the command centre should be allowed to make that call. It would seem somewhat ridiculous (I know, it's not beyond them to be this way) for them to say to the ref "so, there was RTP on the play which caused the turnover, but because we aren't allowed to make that call unless the coach challenges it, the ruling stands and it's a turnover."
Also, O'Shea would have waited for the result of the review before throwing a challenge, so to say that he waited too long after the play to be allowed to do so doesn't make sense either... if he throws it right away, it's wasted because the play is under review already, but if he waits until the review is complete, he's no longer allowed to challenge because it's too long after the play? If that's the case, they need to change the rule to be reasonable.

Tracy fined for spear on hit to Nichols on play where fumble resulted. Again, how did the flag not fly/MOS challenge that? Kanneh also clubbed Nichols upside the head with his left arm before he stripped the ball with his right. Nichols was in the pocket so full RTP rules applied. Brutal and game-changing missed call.
Would have been a waste of a challenge, the command centre would have reviewed the play because it was a turnover and didn't flag it, so they screwed up.

5) Trevor Harris, Ottawa Redblacks – In my opinion, Harris is the best in this league, I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but with a healthy Harris, the Redblacks are very dangerous.
Then shouldn't he be ranked #1?

Yes, I was at the game, so didn't see the hit to the head until I watched the replays this afternoon. You're absolutely right, that had MOS challenged at that point it would almost surely have been ruled a roughing the passer (with the way they've been calling that this year). Huge turning point, I stand corrected. Or at least supplemented... ?
Though I agree that O'Shea maybe should have challenged it, since it was a turnover, the play was reviewed by the command centre. The fact that they didn't overturn it makes me think that it would have been a wasted challenge. When it comes right down to it, the Command Centre screwed up the call, after the refs missed it in the first place.

Even if one would argue that Lankford has value as a kick returner (I disagree), we don't even take the kickoff after field goals so he is essentially without a role.
It's been mentioned before, but it seems to require repeating... Lankford is our backup kicker, so if for no other reason than that, he needs to be on the roster.
That being said, he really screwed up at the end of the 2nd quarter when he gave up on the route which led to the int. He had the position on the defender to make the catch if he had just followed through on his run.

Pretty sure they said that the t-shirt comes when you get your tickets next year, but the sideline experience was for a game in 2017. I'm wondering about that one as well, but they did say that there were limited spaces so they may have filled up before I signed up.

Wonder if anyone called Hamilton in upset, and if the tabbies just punched our playoff ticket.
Check the games tab in Rich's Pick 'Ems spreadsheet and you can see who picked Hamilton... there were 4 of us...

I'm really hoping that Wolitarski will find his way onto the starting lineup at Lankford's expense. Lankford has had his moments but not enough (IMO) to make him irreplaceable and that would be a way to get another Import onto the roster.

Lankford is the backup kicker, so they aren't taking him off the roster.

??Noticed blocks by Lankford and Adams, Gudino and Flanders. Really, I can't remember when we had as capable blockers in our receivers..for the most part.
Gotta point out that Davis went out to throw a block when he was in the game as well, which I thought was awesome from a leadership perspective
??Well, I guess only Nichols can throw in the rain...pretty good performance.
Don't forget Davis, he had that beautiful throw to Adams to get the team off of the goal line.

I thought we saved the airing of grievances for Festivus. At the very least we should have some feats of strength while we are at it.
I've got the festivus pole up in my front yard...

So, how long must our stadium announcer persevere with this non-tradition? No one stands during kick-offs, and no one ever did. Traditions should be natural and organic, born from the fans themselves, not crafted by Bomber brass in the name of team spirit. It's silly. Can we end this already?
On a similar note, the only time the announcer should say "And that's another Winnipeg (first down)" is after we actually PRODUCE a first down!
Good win tonight, Blue.
Absolutely agree on the kickoff thing... it's not a thing that the fans are on-board for, so they should just drop it.
I disagree on the another first down, because they have got many in the past so every one going forward now is another one.
Great game, great atmosphere, and even with only 26K fans in the stands, it was nice and loud when the D was on the field.

I liked how Davis ran out in front of Flanders and tried to block for him after the hand-off. He totally just bounced off of some Ottawa guy. I was surprised that Dunigan didn't make a comment as it was kind of funny.
That was fantastic... Nichols has thrown a couple of those out this year too... that's the kind of leadership that gets the rest of the team fired up.

Northern Harvest is more of a scotch than a rye, so slightly easier to drink straight up than regular rye.... Definitely a sipping drink, and nothing wrong with adding a bit of water to tone it down a bit.

that's awesome, but my thing this year that I'm convinced is helping the Bombers win, is Crown Royal Northern Harvest mixed with Pepsi Max.....I'm CONVINCED the Manitoba-made rye is working.....didn't have it on Labour Day, but made sure to buy it for BB....
Sorry, but you are ruining a perfectly good Rye bu putting Pepsi in it... and besides, Northern Harvest is meant to be drunk straight on the rocks... at most a splash of water to cut it a bit...
Otherwise, I approve this message

Kelly Moore on CJOB just reported that he requested his release. He was frustrated with not getting onto the game day roster.

I'm on he ref's side on that Reilly hit. It was a hellacious hit, straight on, straight on the chest. Then his head snaps. I can't tell if there's contact at that point. To me, the question of Reilly looking slightly dazed came about on the fall to the ground, where he definitely hit his head., and looked a little frazzled.
It was a good call to take a closer look at him, no matter what Maas was saying. There can be concussion protocols even if there is no penalty called.
And I didn't see any fines for that hit, but I may have missed it. Anybody?
Personally, I thought I saw Reilly take a shot under the chin on the tackle, but that was just my take on it. I do think there should have been a penalty on that play. That being said, I do agree that there can be situations where the concussion protocols are used even if there is no penalty. How many times do guys get tackled clean and then hit their head on the ground pretty hard?

O'Shea said last week that they can practice tackling through certain drills with out having pads on.
Rugby tackling? If guys learned how to wrap up like they do in Rugby, I think there would be a lot fewer busted tackles

I think they meant incidental. If I am not mistaken, when contact is not intentional they do have to option to call incidental/accidental and just move the ball up 10 yards (in this case half the distance) and award a first down. While it is not common I have seen incidental/accidental called before. In this case the Rider was still trying to make a play on the ball but he stepped on receiver's heel by accident.
Someone already pointed out either earlier in this thread, or in another one discussing the same thing that the penalty is acctually Accidental PI with an excerpt from the rule book. Incidental is not a penalty.

The CFL website says 3:30 CDT, but we won't be on daylight time anymore, so it may change... that being said, I know most people don't know the difference between CDT and CST so it's likely a mistake on the website and the game will start at 3:30... check back tomorrow and it should be right.
