It's here. It's finally here. Winners go to Hamilton, losers go back home to Saskatchewan. 

What are you plans today? Are you watching at IGF East or at home? 

 

 

 

 

Weather at kickoff will be -8, feels like -18. Wind 38, gusting to 57. 

When the game ends, temps will be -13, feels like -25. Wind 40, gusting to 60.

When you get 6 turnovers and still lose, you just don't have the horses to compete.  

Good on our boys to stay poised throughout the game. 

Shows true leadership.  

 

And talent. 

Also we have won 5 in row against the Riders 

Just got back from the game.... I can't remember ever turning the ball over 6 times... And then to WIN??? How bad are the Riders?? Good lord. We'll never win next week if we do that again. Here's hoping we can clean it up. And ya... Andrew Harris is an absolute beast. I don't know how much novacaine was injected but he was inhuman.

Oh nah. I love the CFL. I’m usually here posting no matter what.

Uh huh...

Andrew Harris is such a gamer.

Adams, that catch in the second half was insane.

I love this team.

 

Andrew Harris runs all over another team in the playoffs. Man that guy is a gamer.

Always. It took us years to build that OL that we have.

Duke being dirty as usual. 

Clown

Glad we survived that one. Game was a lot more stressful than it needed to be. Winnipeg should have won the game by 30 points.

Im personally not too worried about the turnovers going into the next game.  This is what happens when you don't play a meaningful game in 5 weeks and get injected into a bad weather playoff game against a team that was coming off an intense playoff victory. They weathered the storm and should be locked in from the opening kickoff of the next game. 

For the third straight year, the Bombers school the Riders on how to win a playoff game. Invoice for tuition is in the mail. Cody, feel free to send the cheque by post.

I was at the game at didnt have a great view of the Duke Williams 4th quarter "catch", but man it looked like he trapped it from my vantage point. What did it look like on tv?

It absolutely hit the turf, no question. Absolutely bs, chickens__t response by the command centre. Like, ridiculous turtling. Can u imagine if the rider had gone on to score. it's that kinda call, unfortunately that can make the cfl look a bit bush.

Yeah it really looked like it hit the ground, like not even a question of maybe, but like full replay, no obstructions, for sure touched the ground. Cant f***ing believe they didnt reverse that. Absolute horseshit.

It hit the turf.  Zero doubt about that.  Not sure what explanation they would have had for not overturning it other than not have the balls to do it.

Command Centre needs to be more transparent I would love some one from the league to come out and say with a straight face that it was a catch.

It's crap like this that will never bring credibility to the league.  In the NFL tv broadcasts on reviews and challenges, they have a dedicated analyst who attempts to explain the reason behind it to the tv audience.  CFL should look into doing the same... likely a pipe dream.

At the very least have someone explain the reasoning behind the ruling.  Probably another pipe dream

In case anyone wants another clear view of the "catch".  It seems pretty definitive from this:

well that was far too close, but I hope for grizzled old veterans like Speedflex this was some kind of revenge for 1972.  

I'll never forget that loss but DAMN, today's win feels real, real good!!!

from the Ed Tait recap:

out-scoring the Riders 7-0 in the fourth quarter courtesy a Sean McGuire QB sneak TD while controlling the ball for 11 minutes and five seconds

Holding the ball for eleven minutes and five seconds while coming from behind in the 4Q.  Awesome.

Brutal brutal call...wonder if the cfl will come out with an explanation to their decision...would love to hear it...

Their explanation would probably be something along the lines of “After review, da ruling on da field stands”

LMFAO, like unreal. What kind of shaven monkeys would call that a catch. He doesnt even have a single hand under it! Jesus H Christ that is a joke of a f***king call. There is nothing they can say to justify that a catch, other than a couple of melonheads at the controls.

I've never flown home so disappointed. Especially after such a great sports Sunday. That said I'd trade it  for nothing, important thing is we will have a chance to defend the cup next week. And we beat the miserable riders!
