This. He landed and made a football move before fumbling. I thought we were going to get screwed by this but thankfully we overcame.

I'd say there's a good 1/4 that actually believes they should have an NFL team and will crap on the CFL when things aren't going their way. Sad. I won't die on the hill that all rules should be preserved in the CFL but honest to God they had about a million chances to win that game if they had any shred of offense. If you don't want them scoring a rouge then dont let the kicker so close to kick it out of the back of the endzone. The rules are the rules. I'm actually impressed that there was very little hometown reffing factored to that game. Usually the league is ready to hand the games to the Argos.

I know exactly what we're going to be hearing all week from the fairweather Rider fans: ROUGE BAD, CFL IS A JOKE Just like we've been hearing: REFS BAD, CFL IS A JOKE the last 4 weeks

Was hoping to see why they are keeping Johnson on the roster. I'm not really the type to re-watch the entire game to see how they use him. Anybody have any insight?

Makes sense. I believe we acquired Feltmate to play FB when MCI went down. Then he got hurt. MCI is now back and rightfully takes his spot back. It comes at the expense of Schmekel because we have the extra depth coming on with Adams (for Bighill) and Lucky OG We already had a tonne of LB depth so Karamoko is no big loss.

BTW this isn't making excuses for Rourke. More that it explains why he was so good in 2022.

I thought Demski came back in before the end of the game.

Very different set of weapons Rourke has. When he was at the helm he relied on Dominique "push off" Rhymes and James Butler a lot. Also had Hatcher, Hollins, Whitehead, Cottoy. Stanback is no Butler as far as being an emergency outlet. And he can't get away with just throwing the ball up and having Rhymes get away with OPI every time. He still has weapons but it seems like Hatcher has not rebounded from injury yet, Hollins is missing a step, and McInnis has been coming back down to earth.

Indeed. I was thinking about Alford and Nichols together. That was deadly. And then you had Rose, Houston, Taylor, Mike Jones and a prime Alexander It's true. But we were dominant that year period.

Did Johnson take snaps tonight? I didn't even notice him

How does this secondary compare to those in recent history? Might be the best I've seen in terms of ability to cover and big play potential.

Rourke starting hot by hitting his check down over the middle over and over. I guess something the Bombers adjusted to (in addition to what they were doing with Stanback) and the rest is history. Kudos to the linebackers and defensive backs who had BC on lock down yet again.

Bombers win on Nathan Rourke Handjob Night

Love that Holm is just covering the guy step for step. Hatcher is pulling on him. Definitely a Bomber penalty rofl

10 points gifted by the referees.

Yeah wtf was that. Terrible spot and then a bad decision by Osh to go for that

This. And to me that was a good defensive play. There is no chance in God's green earth that gets overturned. That holding call though, yeesh

Serious question though...what is so hard about running that play that Strev can't figure it out?

Demski comes open when you have a more complete receiving core. Love it

Fix is already in. That should have been an easy call

Watching this one in Bedford, NS. Generally have had good results against the BC Lions when I'm here. 🤞Thankfully it's an early start in BC. Only 8pm ADT!

Ottawa using the Stampeder lucky horseshoe for that one. Houston is going to have flashbacks of about 4 plays that game. Have to say though that while Calgary is pretty bad on defense...on offense they seem to be the team that comes up with the templates to beat good defences.

Yeah I can't even get behind Lapo's "you can't hit him in the head". That's just called jaw jacking and JSK flopped - hard.

Masoli playing NBA point guard very well.

Easy pass interference call leading to that TD. But it makes me mad every time they make these calls right when they blew it against us vs the Argos. Still can't get over that.
