Smartest thing that Rhymes could of done was go down with Kramdi's inept tackle but he wanted the glory

Agreed, Rhymes' selfishness cost them the win.

Brady deserves the Andrew Harris treatment of getting the ball in some form 20-30 times a game. We are successful when we run our offense through him. It is the key to opening up everything else. When we go away from him, bad things happen (or at least the absence of good things)

Correct typo

We did to BC what BC did to Ottawa.

I'm still in shock and disbelief.  I had written this team off after the second fumble in the red zone. 

I should know better.  Even though there are major cracks, there are enough players on this team that can step up and make timely plays.

Yea lol not the first thing a receiver thinks when nearing the end zone for a score.

Very true.  Although I did that once in a touch football game (punted the rouge).  Easily the best punt of my life.  It was so satisfying beating them as it sailed through the end zone. it completely caught them off guard.

I stopped reading after touch football.

Love you.

Championship guys win games like this. These guys have seen it all done it all know how to gut these types of games out.

Cheers for winning before a bye for once.  My family doesn’t like me being miserable for two weeks.

I wear a woli jersey, but I loved Brady so much tonite  I had to order his jersey.  Nothing to do with the beer/scotch.

LOL. I have never seen Bob Irving whine like this.

I have been critical of Kramdi's tackling, or lack of, in past games.  Tonight, thank God he missed again or game over.

Tsn turning point is when Jackson entered the game 

He was open near the goal line on a play. I was thinking please Zach dont throw it to him.

I couldn't imagine this place if Zach threw it and Jackson dropped it.

56 yards for the BC O in the second half. I can't stress enough how important it is for the Bombers to play the West final at home.

Which ever team wins the western semi will not look forward to playing the Bombers at a loud, frigid IG Field.

mop has to be brady. 

I don't understand why they say it's a two horse race between Zach & VAJ for MOP, when Brady O. has obviously been MOP since the season started & continues to play as such.

That win was ugly as sin but you gotta be lucky to be good

After the first half I was thinking the MOP was VAJ's to lose.  250 yards passing at the half -- he was filleting us.

But yeah. Brady O was special tonight. We fed him and he feasted. Just loved that package that put him out in space as a receiver.

 

 

Brady is going to easily reach 2000 yards this season 

I just watched the game on PVR and I'll say:

 

• Farhan wasn't bias and actually did a good job calling it down the middle.   
• After 2 terrible fumbles, a crappy int, missed fg,  at least 4 missed sacks,   the Refs missing easily 5 - 7 calls..... BC still couldn't capitalize?  
• Willie really needs to get a sack and break this snake bitten streak of his.
• O-line came to play today and did a great job.
• BC has zero run game and in the first half Hall reminds us how his d works when the d-line can't generate pressure. 
• Ballsy complaining in that post above about the missed off side... I saw at least three times the BC defense jump before the ball snapped.  The only other Bomber missed penalty was when VAJ was pushed out of bounds a second late,  otherwise BC had multiple infractions that were ignored and that's not even calling the missed holding happening all night long.  
• Our punter sucks,  why can't we get a normal punter?
• Brady should be MOP but won't get it.
• Betts has a weird overbite that makes him look like Cletus from the Simpsons.  
• Zach wasn't awful he was good for most of the night,  VAJ was solid in the first quarter and so mediocre for the rest of the game.  
• Get Stegall off the panel he's awful.   
• Glad we won but need to execute far better and play a much cleaner game.  

I'll be honest, I saw our guys off side several times tonight. Lucky they weren't called

I forgot to also mention Dakota Prukop with some great short yardage gains

Zac showed a ton of resiliency tonight too. Didn't let it snowball..just kept working for the win.

I went to Riderfans and it seems I missed the fact that there is a league wide reffing conspiracy going on favoring the Bombers. Who knew...learn something new everyday there.

What the **** is ballsey going on about.

that video CLEARLY shows how that wasn't offside. Demski ( I think its him) is running full speed, plants on the LoS and the ball is snapped before he plants the foot that is over the LoS... that is textbook hitting the line waggle.

**** off, Ballsy you useless POS.

I have to admit, I didn't listen to the game or know the score until just a couple of minutes ago. I'm in my hotel room in Spokane. I actually did a little prayer for a win before I turned on my laptop. And... We Won!!!Now, BC has to beat us to the Western Final by finishing two points ahead with only two games left. Hoping the Bombers keep the pedal to the metal. One more Bomber win or BC loss & we clinch first place.

Farhan is close to be a good announcer.

I'm close to being an astronaut......

Once we stop beating ourselves......anything is possible 

I lost faith. After the ball was stripped from Zach with 6 mins left I turned the TV off so I missed the miracle. Happy for the win and sad I missed it.

The older I get, the more i realize how true Bob Irving's old sentiment is:

If you can't gain a yard, you don't deserve to win the game.
