30 minutes of football around 4 hours of corporate Canada butt munching.

Got ours on fans first.ca

Rourke had 2 possessions to get a first down and likely salt away the game.  Goes 2 and out.  Saskatchewan inexplicably punts with 1:48 left after going 2 and out (even one BC First Down likely leaves too little time for Saskatchewan to march it down the field for a game-winning TD)....but BC goes 2 and out again...this after the running back gets 7 yards on first down.  Why not go back to Butler on second down instead of Rourke with a long second and three QB sneak?  Foolish playcall by Buck or was it Rourke?  First down leaves the Riders with 20 - 30 seconds left even if they get the ball back.  Even BC's defense could have likely held them to less than 75 yards in that situation.

 

Instead we get an awful collapse by the Benefeces' defense giving up 73 yards in like 40 seconds and that was the game.

 

Harris outplayed Rourke.  Never thought I would say that.

Ehhhh that seems like such a loser Manitoban thing to do... Selling your tickets. I don't wanna be the world's biggest Alouettes fan, but I will be next weekend. Will be great to have one last game day experience at the barn. Looking forward to the pre game tailgate as always and celebrating this amazing league one last time before they **** everything up with shitty rules changes. 

Vive Les Alouettes!!

Had the Lions held on the Bombers would have been 4-0 against the Grey Cup participants.

At least this way they are only 3-2

that would have been a first down if the BC lead blocker had finished his block.  Rourke had a lane all the way to the first down.

I am physically sick to my stomach. I am giving away my Grey Cup tix to Hamilton fans

Saskatchewan is likely going to win in our stadium, aren't they?😢  If Alexander plays he is likely not going to be anywhere close to 100% and that likely means we see MBT.  I have little to no faith in him.  Yeah, sure he played well against Saskatchewan the last time they met, but didn't the Riders have a tonne of injuries to their defense and specifically they secondary leading into or during the game thus MBT's impressive passing numbers?  In the only other matchup, the Riders smacked the Als by nearly 30 points with MBT at the controls...and he did nothing that game.  Can't remember if the Als had a lot of injuries to their starters in that game, but they were pretty bad.

 

 

 

 

well that’s the least pleasing possible out come to the division finals. Should we just start calling them the 5 stripes?

It’s been a charmed season for the Riders, will be even more charmed if Alexander can’t go for the ALS

QB injuries are a GC jinx. And this thread was a good chuckle. That is all.

Buck , buck , buck so close yet so far. Even if that second and short play call  worked it seemed like an odd choice for Rourke to run it into the heart of the defence. A roll out, a screen pass or using their running back would have made more sense now gangreen gets the Bombers lockers. Awful result. 

Whats you all whining about? Isnt the Championship Game be supposed to be between the best 2 teams???? 

Seems that's what we got.

Nope ,I am not. Born and bred Manitoban. And I hope Als win. 

That 3rd and 4th quarter play calls by Buck remind me why most fans were okay with letting him go. Buck's play calling was atrocious
