Riders got away with a lot of holding, a brutal late hit out of bounds on Wolitarsky, and a free touchdown on two phantom PI's.

See, this is why their fans are dumb cuz they blame the refs for one missed call that didn't go their way when they don't get any holding calls against them.

It was a shot to the head but Bridge did leave the pocket, rolled out wide left & then cut back into the middle into the teeth of the Bomber defense when he threw the ball. Bridge took that shot when he probably shouldn't have cut back inside. Not saying what Jeffcoat did was okay but that is the risk a qb takes when he does that.

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.

Are you pretending you're a Bomber fan? I see your color is green. 🙄

Love the gutsy win, but I'm just saying the rule book specifically states the following:

A player shall be penalized for any act of Unnecessary Roughness to the passer, including but not limited to:

(b) Any blow to the neck or head of the passer,
(f) Contacting the passer if either the initial source of contact, or primary source of contact, is the defender's helmet.

Whether or not Bridge was inside the pocket is irrelevant, if it's a hit to the head, or even if the defender leads with their helmet - it's a penalty.

Let's quit talking about it. How about that Andrew Harris? That guy is unreal. How about the masterful job Nichols did managing the game today? How about that O-Line? Cheung, Bryant, Hardrick, Neufeld, etc. were all awesome and beastlike today. How about the clutch grabs by Dressler and Adams? How about the TD by Woli? How about that ST tackle by Bennett at the end to save a huge return? How about Money Medlock kicking the lights out? How about the huge game by Jackson Jeffcoat? How about the tough running by Streveler?

My comment was not directed at you keep at the gate and escort the trolls out of here.

I know, I am just still hyped up and excited from ending the drought.  Never fun to see a QB in concussion protocol, but yes I agree with you.  Maybe they should have gotten 15 yards, but I suspect Bridge still throws a pick next play.

You are at should have been a penalty.  Riders got away with it fen more penalties.  Tons of holding calls missed.
