MTL could literally interchange MBT and Evans to keep BC’s D off balance with their different skill sets. I’m not letting go employing a 2qb system.

I’ll just continue to talk to myself on this one.

You’d think Maas would be able to work a 2 qb system too.

Benches on the same side of the field is bush league

No idea why the East Division is like that.

Probably not.  But Command Centre should have been able to fix it.  Like run a stopwatch from the snap to the end of the play.  There's 3.8 seconds on the stadium clock before the snap.

The Command Centre only intervenes when it's a call against the Bombers.

What a wild finish. Less than 3 seconds for a play is ballsy and incredible execution

Need to see the play again with the clock beginning right at the snap of the ball and when the player was down to see if they actually did have .2 of a second to go. Also knowing everything was happening so fast, Montreal players could have taken their time to touch the BC player down.

The timekeeper is human, there is always a slight delay between the snap of the ball and the clock starting

Agree just curious how close it was looking at it again with timing it perfect.

Curious as to how far the fg attempt would have been, had CFL’s greatest kicker attempted it, prior to the last pass.

I think it would have been around 48 yds. which was beyond White's longest FG of the season at 43 yds. He likely would have made it, so I don't know why Buck gambled on getting another play off.  Playing with micro-seconds in football is so inexact, I hope teams don't start pushing that envelope.

If you would rather attempt that high of a risk pass (given the time remaining) than entrust your pro kicker with a 48 yarder, you deserve everything you get.

It's a dumb thing as is a 150 people on every CFL team's bench.

Whyte is Mr Automatic but Buck pushed the envelope on that second last play. He got lucky.

Yup and my guess is yesterday’s melee involved some practice roster guys on the sidelines chirping away at each other and the rostered players. Makes for some fun.

[Goalie]

That’s how you start creating rivalries. It’s a good thing. CFL needs more than just Winnipeg vs Sask. cal vs edm and tor vs ham as legit “hated” rivals  

But tonight’s game is the E’s vs the R’s  hopefully not a sign of things to come for them

Remember when we had a player that could return a kick for a TD? 😞

Two struggling teams putting on a good show in Edmonton tonight. Love to see it.

And BD rocking the backward sunglasses look. 

ps horrible time management play calling at the end of the half by the RedBlacks.

[johnzo]

that's weird, not trying that FG from the 55.  Must have zero confidence in Ward's leg.

[johnzo]

and that's a fumble

Andre Proulx being allowed to ref in this league still is something...

Atleast he’s entertaining. The reffing is Mickey Mouse at best any way in the cfl.

I actually think Frenchie might be the best ref in the league, for my money...
