First and goal at the 2.....MBT play action.....
....and flips it to Ambles who dives into the end zone
Game will be tied with Blue blowing a 17 point lead....
Bede comes out for the convert....and pulls it way wide left!
No good!!  Another..... and the final Argo mistake...
Short kick off attempt is caught by a leaping Jefferson....
23-22 Bombers.   4-0.   But work needs to be done...
....particularly on O.....not running ball inside.........
....lots of check downs and dumps in the passing game....
.....with little downfield blocking.  I could go on.....
But that would be like complaining about the gin consumed...
The end result is still good.

He also threw like 4 interceptions. The big td pass was such an awful throw only undone by the awful reffing and review of the play.

Oh I agree.  But at the same time, he engineers some freakishly good drives, especially the TD at the end.

Yeah but Ritchie Hall problems. Everything was short throws and yards after the catch.  Harris was a bigger issue. The problem was entirely that the O spent too much time not staying on the field.

TOP was almost even.  The D was on the sidelines for quite a while, before that last drive. 

MBT, for whatever reason, plays like that against the Bombers

But even so, without that ridiculous TD call, the game is not even close.

I just about choked on my coffee on that first line do or die..... And when did we start playing the yankee national anthem at the start of our games....I really started to laugh when I saw a couple of Canadians with their hand over their heart.....For cripes sake ...is this still Canada
