Kinda Optimistic
Rider fans can cry all they want it's next year time for them, Bombers went into Regina and came out the winners and left the city of whiners
Made a few key blocks. Thompkins and Adams didn't have much of a chance to get in offensively due to the game plan. Expect them to get more looks next week.
Now Suitor can go cry in Chris Jones’ ample bosom. What a clown.
Big illegal block about 10 yards back from where the return ended missed.
The Bombers just beat a team with "no quarterback." It was a real tough grind it out ground game on a cold day. I would have liked to see more pass completions that you will need to beat Calgary.
It will be to the Bombers advantage if it's cold to play Calgary. Andrew Harris was just a beast out there today-"great tough running." The air attack has to get in order to beat the Stamps. The Bombers need these 20-25 yard pass completions, and Calgary runs a lot of those type of plays successfully.
Let's not forget here --we just beat a team with no QB--- IMO.
Bombers live to see another week. Played well in these conditions but I expected better. Santos-Knox was a very noticeable miss, hopefully he'll be back against Calgary as he and Bighill seem to be the biggest difference makers on defense. Andrew Harris with another phenomenal game, Wolitarsky a honourable mention. If they get back to how they played in Weeks 17, 18, and 20, Calgary is beatable.
Refereeing was atrocious, though. Two pretty questionable PIs, a lot of things let go by the Saskatchewan offensive line near the end of the game and the obvious helmet-to-helmet by Jeffcoat. The game was obviously very chippy, but you wouldn't have noticed it looking at the final tally of penalties:
Gave a lot of room for Roughriders to get back into the game when they shouldn't have even had the chance to chuck the ball for a game-winning TD. But hey, we can change the narrative that the Bombers faced all sorts of adversity and came out with the first win in the playoffs in forever.
Hope is slowly growing...
Crazy that the refs basically made no calls all night and then once the Bombers got up 2 scores the flags started flying until the Riders were on the 1 yard line.
Said that to the crowd I was with when the second series for the Riders started, "watch out for flags" sure enough but it's all good the final result is all that matters
SASK fans are by far the quickest in the league to point to conspirasies. Lol

Calgary should be tough, although we did recently beat them.
1 more win and we're in the Grey Cup though!
