Harris ran like a beast, drives me nuts we didnt get him the ball more. The OL is also very close to being 3rd star as a group.

Some crow to be eaten by McDuffie haters.

All in all, I feel a little dirty about that win.  But we won...and we haven't done that for more than 1/3 of my life.  We're getting all kinds of monkeys off our back this year.

my favorite part of having Medlock is that there's so little worry when he goes back for a big kick.  I can't remember the last time the bombers had a kicker where it wasn't gut wrenching to have to kick anything over 30 in a clutch situation. When Harris went down on the last play, I counted the game as won from that range before Medlock even kicked.

Wtf. Ya we won the game. It was closer than it should have been but we definitely won the game. 

Medlock missed a fg earlier.  2 dropped tds in the end zone. 28 25 final. It's labour day. Stuff happens but we definitely won the game

I'm trying to read some sarcasm in to this but I'm having a hard time.  

he didn't miss a FG on the last play of the game?  Did I miss something?

[Old Bomber Fan]

no he couldn't kick a convert on TD resulting from a poor punt coverage by our ST.

I absolutely have no guilt for that bad pi called on Sask.  

Our front four were being mugged all game imo. But that's definitely a hardcore blue fan talking. I'll take the win and I'll take it next week as well thank you very much.

yes we did. we had several games just like this in the 2003 win streak. 

Sask choked and gave up opportunity and we took some. But we made them count in the clutch. Ssk had all the momentum in the 2nd half in a loud home field and we still out executed them and took it. We also missed a fg, and kicked 7. excuses dont win games or over turn results.

The refs were awful. Jones threw away his challenge on a horrible decision and that cost them the game. Good teams dont get beat by the breaks. They pressure the other team till they make a mistake and capitalize. Bearing down when the breaks dont go there way.

HH to all the Rider fans who thought the game was sown up after Lawrence TD

[Noeller]

Cover team not to blame on the punt return TD. Medlock out kicked em. It happens... 

[TBURGESS]

1. Nichols - Did exactly what we needed him to do... throw on time, on target and protect the ball.
2. Leggett - All over the field and his FG miss returns were game changers.
3. Medlock - Most of the points came off of his foot.

Happy Honker - Loffler - 6 tackles and a his first sack.

i dont think the offense as a whole can say they did what we needed them to. 7 fgs is never a good sign. If they had it wouldnt have been such a ridiculous come back it would have been a blow out.

Well friends, the annual Labour Day match-up between the Blue Bombers of Winnipeg and the Roughriders of Saskatchewan is in the books, and for the final time at old Taylor Field here in Regina, and there was no shortage of excitement on both sides of the ball. And after squandering  big halftime lead the Bombers clawed back and looked ready to walk away with their 5th straight victory, before the Saskatchewan returner number 32 ran a punt back with 42 seconds left to seemingly break the Bomber faithful hearts once again. But this Winnipeg team has shown us something different this year, which is the ability not to throw in the towel, and once again that resiliency was in full display. Now the Happy Honker is traditionally not meant for the best player on the team, not the one who makes the "big play" per se, but someone who does something extra special in the game. Now, often it can be the big play that defines the game that becomes our Happy Honker winner, but not always. And likewise, while the game star is not usually the Happy Honker winner, it doesn't mean they can't be. And when the game comes down to the last play, you need to look hard at what really stood out in the game.

So although A.J., er B.J. McDuffie, whatshisname? [Bob Irving patiently interjecting: "Quincey MacDuffie, Cactus"] right, B.J. MacDuffie had a big touchdown catch and some good returns in the kicking game tonight, and although Joey….Johnny Adams had a big interception, and C.J. Roberts had a even bigger interception on the goal line late to keep Saskatchewan of the board when they were threatening to take the lead, and Mo Ligament had some important kick returns to keep points off the board, none of that ultimately decided the game. 

No, this was decided by the kickers. And Saskatchewan's Tyler Crapola, Crapola? [Irving: "Close enough, Jack"] did not put his best foot forward, so to speak. No, he missed two field goals and let Mr. Leggant produce those aforementioned returns, and then with a last minute lead staring them in the face, Craptastic once again muffed a convert to keep the game tied. Now when the shoe was other the other foot, that of Justin Medlock, well it was a different story altogether. After extending his field goal streak to 22 consecutive successful field goals, Justin channelled his inner Keiran Hyroglyphics, the former Bomber kicker who never met a goalpost he didn't like to hit, and clanged one off the upright to finish his streak. But not to be deterred, Justin went out and started a new one, and with the outcome on the line, he calmly connected from 43 yards away for his 5th straight 3 pointer and his 7th overall in the match to seal the victory for the Blue and Gold in this final Taylor Field Labour Day battle. And so after earlier this season tying a long time Bernard Ruoff club record with a 58 yard field goal, Mr. Medlock matched another Bomber great, Trevor Can-ard, with 7 field goals in the game, and who knows, maybe he will catch Troy Westward and his single season scoring record too. So because of the record, because of the streak, because he was truly the most important player all night long, because he's a kicker who usually only gets mentioned when he misses, and because the game came down to his play, Justin Medlock is my Happy Honker award winner tonight.
