HH - The decision maker who handed the offensive play calling duties to J Jackson

This a real thing that happened?

[Colin Unger]

I’m not convinced the bombers need the goalposts removed in order to produce more touchdowns

[Super Duper Negatron]

Now that they are giving us hope all I can think of is that game we blew against Calgary.

Great game. Zach >>>>>>>> Strev on his worst day.

[Stickem]

Brady/Demski.......pillars for this club and always deliver

Vaval.......................set the tone on the very first play in this one

Zack........................looked like Zack of old

.....DB'S ...deserve a mention and for the most part played shut down ball

The difference between Zach & Strev at qb is like watching someone jump off a 1500 m cliff. We're hooped if Zach gets hurt going into the playoffs. The need to find a veteran backup qb next season who can actually throw.

1. Zach- great game, didn’t try to play over his own head. Took what was there, even got a couple of deeper shots in and no picks. 
2. The DB’s- Especially Houston. Shutdown game against arguably the league’s best receiver. Lawson Jr had a nice game as well. 

3. Demski- Having a career year. He’s just been outstanding and had to carry the WR corps for most of the season. Can’t say enough good things about his play right now.

I said it at the half... I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Jackson called this game ...

You’re assuming he made the decision.

Lawler has been talking too much **** lately to only put up 2 receptions on 9 targets

Too bad Brady didn't quite make it to 100 yards rushing, but 150 all-purpose yards means that he has an 80 yard cushion on Rankin for the lead in Yards from Scrimmage, if he keeps this up he probably has a good shot at clearing 1800.

Bombers almost have a nice path to a home playoff game... 3 games left, Edmonton away and they might already be eliminated. Sask at home who might already have clinched the bye and then Montreal at home who are effectively 2 games behind Hamilton with 3 to play so they might be locked into 2nd, just have to win out and hope Calgary drops 2/4.

I wonder how many times the opening kickoff has been returned for a TD. That is all my 9 year old daughter has been talking about since it happened, the fact Vaval did that blew her mind

Think this is the first game Strev played without his knee brace.  He looked much more comfortable running today.

It’s all about processing and anticipation.

Strev needs to see the play unfold (part of that stems from a lack of reps in an ACTUAL offense and not one that turns him into a gimmick) whereas Zach sees the entire field better and throws with anticipation.

HH to Vaughters.  Two sacks!

Mentioned already but the corners were lights out against Lawler. Kenny getting only 2 of 9 targets is amazing. 
 

Zach was throwing dimes today. 
Brady was his usual self. 
 

Really liked Woodbey. He was all over the place.

If anyone is curious... the CFL Media Guide has the fastest TD from Start of game at 0:12 and the play by play recorded the convert at 14:48 so that seems like it ties it. Not sure if they would put it first on the list because its the longest at that time, or last because its the most recent.

FWIW the record book lists 9 TDs scored on the opening kickoff (from 0:12 to 0:15) and Winnipeg was involved in 5 of them... Winnipeg was also on the other side of the 2 fastest offensive TDs. I'm not sure if there has only been 9 on the opening kickoff, or they just decided to list 9

[Noeller]

Vaval has to be the leading candidate for ROTY right?
