OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread (7-6) - No notes needed. - Next at EDM Sept 21 600pm

[Holden Caulfield]

Clercius hurt. Not good. Bombers only brought 1 extra WR in KR/PR Cody Kase. And Clercius is a blocking physical WR, to Case being a small speedster. Not a great exchange.

You could see they just moved Johnson into Clercius' role and he dropped it next play.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

That’s a fumble all the way.

 

[None]

Surprised that wasn't ruled a catch. Looks completely tucked between both players.

 

[FonRiesen]

Bloody refs whistling an obvious fumble down. Any doubt, let the play finish.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Andre Proulx strikes again.

Calling that an incompletion is wild.

 

[FonRiesen]

Complete bullshit. He was literally standing there after the catch,and it was ripped out.

 

[None]

Blatant PI.

Other angle is less obvious. Looked like a push.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Contact before the catch, no flag.

f*** you Andre Proulx.

 

[FonRiesen]

Pretty bad punt return... Don't we have Lucky Whitehead on our practice roster? Can't be worse than losing yards on returns...

Literally was just about to type this.

Whitehead has no CFL punt return experience. But some kickoff returns. And has the speed and elusiveness, something the other guys they’ve used this season seem to lack.

 

[FonRiesen]

Hokey Dinah, 57 yard field goal... Is there a wind, or what?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Didn’t love that decision, better off punting and playing the field position game.

But man Castillo is a beast.

 

[FonRiesen]

O'Shea has trust in Castillo, that's for sure.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

To be fair, that was clearly a called punt block. About 5-6 Bombers were going for the block. So there was no one blocking for him by the time he caught it.

Ok this has been a rough one for Evan Holm...

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Love Clercius’ tools but I wonder about his football IQ. That was a perfect example.

 

[rkp]

once again bighill late to the play

 

[FonRiesen]

Wow, phantom defensive Holding. Even Suitor can't find one.

 

[None]

If Suitor is skeptical of there being a hold against the Bombers while they're playing the Riders you know it was a shit call.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Dead ass one of the worst penalty calls I’ve seen this season.

Also, how tf does the official on the far side throw that flag.

 

[rkp]

dont think bombers will this one based on collaros passing...it will be thru the running game, only hope

 

[FonRiesen]

I'll take that penalty. It was weak, but at least it was based on an actual tackle...

 

[None]

dont think bombers will this one based on collaros passing...it will be thru the running game, only hope

At least he's throwing checkdown passes again, his decision making is still suspect though.

61 yards with no wind is pretty crazy.

 

[FonRiesen]

SK returner ran into the official, may have saved a big return there...

 

[None]

Another blatant hold, Willie coming around the edge.

 

[FonRiesen]

WTF, how is there freaking holding against us? We were being held upon review, blatantly, and we should have had the pick count...
