JuranBoldenRules Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 The defense kept a lot of points off the board and put 13 up themselves. Willy led the miraculous drive to win, but Montreal wins easy if the Bombers give up a TD on one of the short fields afforded the Als by Washington's misadventures. Defense saved the day. blitzmore, kelownabomberfan, johnzo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I had a coach who used to say (and I never forgot) that in every game, five plays decide an outcome. The team that makes those 5 plays wins. I think there's a lot of truth to that. When you look at the win-loss record of teams that win the turnover battle I think it becomes clear there is a lot of truth to that. I would expect the overall level of most teams in the league to be close enough that it's the big momentum turning plays that make all the difference. An interception for a touchdown, a blocked punt, a kick return TD, these are all huge plays that flip a game around. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Well, we have 3 TD's on D and a KOR TD....in three games. We also made the big plays in late crunchtime, to win a couple of games..... Not really used to either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D holding the Als to field goals after the punt fumbles 2. Scoring touchdowns on our two turnovers 3. The winning TD pass on THIRD DOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
