It was an aggressive, but unfortunately legal hit. I don't believe it was meant to cause injury.

Y'all are too sensitive. The league said that there is nothing in the rule book prohibiting this type of hit, and that they will look at ways to prevent this from happening in the future, which is exactly THE RIGHT THING TO DO. To be fair, it was kind of a freak accident, with Rempel's head hitting the turf the way it did. Had he simply fallen on his back, this wouldn't even be a point of discussion. I don't believe the hit was malicious in nature.

Hmm, perhaps you’re right. Strange that there is little mention of a dribbled ball in the rule book. For a safety to be scored, the rules state specifically that the ball has to be “carried, kicked, fumbled or otherwise directed from the Field of Play into the Goal Area by the team scored against”. That is not what happened on this play, hence the confusion.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment. Article 4, point 2 is exactly what happened on that play.

Winnipeg solid everywhere except QB play

You make me laugh. Trevor Harris is so much better than Nichols it's not even a debate.

How much longer are we gonna wait though?? He's not getting any better. Just saying...

1. Lucky Whitehead 2. Jackson Jeffcoat 3. Winston Rose HH to Matt Nichols for helping to convince me that he does nothing for this team

Are you saying MATT NICHOLS is a championship calibre quarterback?? Sorry to break it to you but a Grey Cup will never be within reach with Mr. Game Manager at the helm.

Nichols is BAD -- definitely not a championship calibre QB. One of the most immobile QBs to have ever walked the face of the Earth. Some of the throws he makes, I wonder how he ever made it pro.

It’s the hit to the head that is the issue. I’m sure all of us would be infuriated had that happened to Nichols.

That’s a little harsh. If that happened to Nichols we would be up in arms too.

I can see Jeffcoat being suspended for that hit

Don’t think Lankford has ever broken a tackle in his life.

True but literally anyone could have scored that. Don’t think Lankford has broken a tackle in his life

Lankford is just the worst. Never seen the guy break a tackle

We have certainly come a long way in Canadian receiving talent since the days of Aaron Hargreaves.

Well technically we are a coastal province...

Reminds me of the Michael Sims-Walker signing back in the day. Hopefully Randle can be just as good but stick around longer than one game!

Ideally I would hope the Bombers win this one despite being screwed over by the refs BIG TIME. They deserve to experience the frustration that all their opponents have had to unfairly experience this year.

It's called civic pride. Maybe a feeling that's hard to come by among Winnipeggers.

Maybe it's the altruist in me but I don't feel a sense of pride from winning a football game based on poor officiating.

I was referring to the PI call on Hollins at the 57:10 mark of this video: Awful, awful call. You can also clearly see Harris' elbow going down ahead of the goal line at the 1:55:30 mark. The refs have been VERY friendly toward the Bombers this year, sorry to break it to ya folks.
