What can you say! Seen it all now!

They created a chaotic weather pattern blowin’ those f’n horns! Now they can go and suck on them!

Amazing ending — never seen anything like that before.

Game ended up turning on Montreal calling timeout after their 1st down run play, with 42 seconds left. No need to do that except to bleed another second or two off the game clock before the 2nd down play. But that timeout took about a minute of real time.

If not for that slight delay, the Als would’ve been lining up to punt a minute earlier, just before the wind kicked up — the storm squall started to hit about 30 seconds before the punt.

Bombers saved by the Kamikaze: the divine wind

If there were Bible stories about field goals, they'd be like today's game. The Holy Field Goal.

Happy Honker to the jet stream?

 

[LucianoBorsato]

What a crazy way to win! Not complaining, though. I'll have to ask my Riders fan friend what he thought of that.

 

[SensibleGuy]

hahaha I turned the game off with about 5 minutes left. It wasn't looking great and I actually said to myself "It's more likely something great happens if you aren't listening."

Given what was at stake 100% agree but Montreal is the better team . Got lucky

 

[bustamente]

That may top Stegall’s immaculate reception

Stegall's catch and run for me is a high bar and Irving's call was money

 

[The Blue Baron]

Am I just nervous or is the Broadcast gone to crap?

True north

bzzzzz
Right by his ear

GO JETS GO

What did I miss about the ending? Too bad I couldn’t watch the end. Great win, huge bye to west final!

Bombers down 27-25. Castillo missed a 61 yarder with 1:03 left. Mtl returned it to 18ish yard line. Went two and out, forced to kick with ~16 secs left in game. As they are running the clock down on 3rd down a huge gust of wind and rain starts blowing in Mtl P's face. He shanks the punt for a 21yrd net and Bombers get ball at Mtl 45 with 10 secs left. One run later Castillo nails a 51 yarder to win.

That game gets 5 / 5 Nelson Munz's in Saskatchewan's direction.

[Hank Chinaski]

I asked Google wtf that was and apparently it’s known as a squall.

Squall - Wikipedia

Meh. “Divine intervention” is more fun and magical.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Never saw either of the games today because of work...goodness did I miss something...But Duane Ford said it best:

God.....is a Bombers fan.

 

[The Blue Baron]

I am still trying to get over what happened yesterday!

I’ve never seen anything like that before and will likely never again.

Perfectly narrated by Ford and Ferguson.

 

[The Blue Baron]

If you a Rider fan in Saskatchewan hide the children!

 

[snowkiddin]

When you play the Als with Andre Proulx officiating you very obviously play against the refs. That was on full display last night.

The wind coming in like that evens out them taking away Ford’s INT in the first quarter
