Gotta say that the refcam was pretty cool today ... it's so easy to complain about missed calls, from the refcam you could see exactly why the hit wasn't called on the field.  Tough to appreciate how chaotic and crowded the game is from the couch or even the stands..

Good thing they have replay.  Need to use it for more than turnovers.  We got jobbed on that lateral that would have been a 20 yard loss.  Replay would have had the Riders punting from their endzone.

Not sure how that lateral was missed...

The weird thing was they called it a lateral and then changed it after.  Probably hoping the Bombers would recover so it would be autoreviewed.  I don't know how they can call it an incomplete forward pass 20 seconds after.  The ref has eidetic memory and had his own replay in his head?

How do you know that it wasn't the video replay official who changed the call from lateral to incomplete pass?  They don't announce when that guy helps out on a call.

The Replay Official will automatically review the following situations:

  • All plays ruled a score by the field officials.
  • Plays, out in space, where a touchdown may have been scored.
  • All unsuccessful field goal or convert attempts.
  • All plays where a turnover is ruled to have occurred as a result of a fumble lost or an interception.
    • During these reviews the Replay Official will review all Standard Reviewable Aspects.
    • Coach Challengeable Penalties are never reviewed as part of an Automatic Review.
    • A team may challenge a Standard Reviewable Aspect that has already been automatically reviewed by the Replay Official. If they win that challenge they will retain their challenge.
    • Pending the outcome of an Automatic Review, a team may decide to initiate a Coach Challengeable Penalty review. This review will be treated like any other Team Challenge.
  1. Replay Official Initiated Reviews:
    • Following the 3 minute warning in the fourth quarter all plays become subject to review by the Replay Official for Standard Reviewable Aspects only.
      • If the Replay Official wants to review a play, he will notify the referee to stop the game.
      • Coach Challengeable Penalties are never reviewed as part of any Replay Official Initiated Review.
      • A team must use a Team Challenge to initiate the review of a Coach Challengeable Penalty.

 

Those are the plays that can be booth reviewed along with called offside penalties to determine which team moved first.

O'Shea could have challenged it.

For a good laugh read riderfans.com ...   It's amazing that they have equal amount of posts about Brandon Bridge being a sack of crap and terrible and then the same amount of posts about how dirty Jeffcoat is and how because he was hit in the head they lost the game.     

The excuses are hilarious and of course not a single person making mention of the blatant holds,  the uncalled lateral,   the overall terrible performance from their run game....   it's so funny.

Great win.

That hit at the end of the game definitely should have been a 15 yarder. Always hate to see a player get injured, even if they are a Rider.

Bombers played pretty darn well and would have had an easy finish too if the refs hadn't gifted Sask a free six points. Happy for Mike O'Shea especially. 

First playoff win since the LaPo era.

Soooooo,,,,,the mirror finally cracked and the smoke cleared...riders are who we thought they were...Good game  but I always felt the Bombers could have turned up the heat at any time and this one wouldn't have even been close.....Up next Cal....keep er going guys...I can smell a Cup appearance

They have a decent team that kept it close for a long time.

... but BB made a passing attempt on the play he was injured on, no? He was most certainly behind the line of scrimmage.

Yes but the RTP rules are all based on the QB being in the pocket.  Bridge scrambles for about the entire width of the field all together.  That's why that hit would never be penalized as late, if Bridge remained in the pocket that hit is late regardless of where the contact is on his body.  On that play he's a runner, sure he can still throw because he hadn't crossed the line of scrimmage but he had lost the extra QB protection from the scramble.  The head contact is a penalty on any ball carrier.

BB was really good with his feet but way to slow with his reads. It killed them as our DB's did not have the best game but thankfully didn't hurt us.

The missed blatant hold on Labatte during the 4th quarter on a 2nd down conversion was particularly brutal, not to mention a clear illegal block on their big punt return in the 4th. Just glad we came away with the win. Too close for comfort. D needs to step up their game next week, and dear lord I hope that's the last we see of Ian Wild in the starting lineup. Get well soon JSK.

Wilson actually played quite a bit.  I'll rewatch the game tomorrow but by my eye Wild didn't play many more snaps than he did with JSK in there as per the usual line-up, but he played more behind 40 fronts than usual as the Bombers didn't run much 30 front against the Rider run heavy O.
