I finally had a chance to re-watch a few plays that I wanted to get a better look at and have some thoughts on it... 1. the OPI call in the first quarter... I thought the original call was soft... looked like Rose just fell and he initiated contact after 5 yards... not totally surprised it was over turned... 2. the PI against Nick Taylor with about 5 mins left in the fourth... I thought it was absolute garbage call from the upper deck... I and confirmed it was a garbage call after watching a replay... surprised we didn't challenge as I believe that would've created a third down... in super slo-mo Taylor has his hand on the receiver a split second early... not sure what the ref was seeing on that one... 3. The procedure penalty that took 3 points off the board... I watched it a few times and didn't see anyone twitch... but there were about 12 flags on the field... so I guess Eli must've done something obvious...

If enough of us react "disagree" does that mean it won't happen?

just that he spelled it wrong... really not my finest material... I'll show myself out with the cone of shame...

a lot of people missing the cheque vs check joke 😁 I guess it wasn't my finest material...

Andrew Harris headbutted Simoni Lawrence in the 2019 GC and it wasn't called... so we'll call it even! Side note... that was the last time Lawrence did anything of significance in that game...

based on this list it's pretty obviously Collaros vs Stanback... with Collaros winning it in a landslide... don't see there being anyone else in contention... Cheque*

Not trying to opine on Augustine vs Oliveira… but based solely on last night… Johnny was the better back… could be different next week… but last night Johnny was clearly the better of the two…

To be fair… Al Bradbury is from Winnipeg 🙃 as an observer at the game here’s how I saw it… Als came out and played a really good game… moved the ball fairly well… got most of the stops when they needed it… but when it came down to crunch time… one team proved it was a contender and the other a pretender… They keep saying it’ll take a perfect game to beat the Bombers… Als nearly did that… and still lost by 10 (could’ve been 13 if not for a procedure call)… I’m not going panic yet…

Don’t expect that to keep up by game time… beautiful afternoon but it’s still November and it’ll get cold as soon as the sun goes down…

Read the Bighill quote above your post…

Other than that, they played a good game… I don’t know what you’re talking about… they’re getting hot at the right time and are virtually unstoppable now that they’re winning EVERY 50/50 ball… and they have the advantage of NOT hosting the west final… or so I’ve been told…

And he baits the QB into throwing the ball there… he tricks guys into the inking they’re open… but they're really not…. do people actually buy this ****??

this line is fantastic and hilarious... but sooo true

so... no changes...

I absolutely love this quote from Richie: “We’ve got to get better,” said Hall. “When you look at the big picture, we haven’t accomplished anything. There’s still room for improvement. We have a long ways to get to where we need to be."

In his defense... Mtl getting their run game churning is really their only chance in this games... doesn't mean it's going to happen... just means Montreal needs to get the run game going and not fall behind early if the want any chance in this game...

good chance he'll coincidentally just happen to have a bad game against us...

mathematically they are alive... realistically, they are done...

this made me laugh... I read the **** word as s-n-a-t-c-h because I couldn't think of what else it could possibly be...

I think the problem with that suggestion is then you lose casual fans who were never going to the game anyways but might tune in on TV just because football is on... Also, it penalizes long term season ticket holders who have to miss live games due to other commitments... then they have no opportunity to watch the game...

You mean 50?? when Bighill first got here he was wearing 50 in TC because Gauthier has some kind of sentimental attachment to 44… I absolutely loved the idea of Bighill wearing 50 because that’s a badass MLB number and coach O’Shea… also Bighill is a player I liked watching as a Lion but LOVE watching as a Bomber…

All good points…. The only slight change to the one I highlighted is that seeds 1 and 2 should go to the top team in each division, regardless if the 2nd place team on one side has a better record than the other first place team… that keeps some significance to the divisional split and increases the chances of an east/west Grey Cup…

At the banjo bowl they had legendary Winnipeg musician Brent Fitz on stage (google him if you don't know who he is)... and was just fiddling around with a cowbell... it was an egregious misuse of his talents...

I'm buying tickets for that game... you thought the 29 year drought was tough... goddammit that is gonna be a satisfying win!!

I'm not burying BLM yet... although he may be done in Calgary... let's all remember Collaros was also "done" in 2019 and in 2021 he's the league MOP...
