OT: y - Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread (11-7) - West Final awaits. Banjo pickers coming to town in post-season. - Next vs Sask Nov 9 530pm

[Blitzkrug]

Horrendous awareness by Alford. You were staring at it that long and seemed to hesitate. Maybe just let the ball bounce at that point?

 

[FonRiesen]

Started with a real nice directional kick, spinning balls are so unpredictable.

That’s want my old aunt says at bingo ….

 

[Blitzkrug]

Having Wolitarsky back is so big for those short/intermediate throws on 2nd down. You can tell Collaros doesn't trust anyone else on plays like that.

 

[SUX2BU]

Suck it saskabush

 

[FonRiesen]

90 should be kicked out of the game. Intentional helmet on helmet. CFL needs to protect QB's, that was blatant.

 

[Blitzkrug]

That throw was so blatantly fishing for a PI call. Joe Flacco shed a tear at so obvious it was.

Hopefully Collaros is alright. He's been so healthy here people forget there was a time when this guy was one bad hit away from having his career ended with the concussion history. Do not like this scene at all.

 

[None]

Not sure how that isn't just an immediate ejection. He clearly targets Zach's head. Doesn't lower at all.

 

[Weezeric]

That should be a suspension

 

[Blitzkrug]

Blatant illegal hit: i sleep

Ticky tack DPI call that probably shouldn't have been called: real shit

Gotta love CFL refs.

 

[FonRiesen]

Huge sack.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Sick hands, feet.

 

[FonRiesen]

Good first half. Hope ZC is okay.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

They look bad so far...

Turned it around though. They've used very few 6 man sets in this game and held up.

Find me someone who said Bombers would score 29pts in the first half of this and you've found a liar. Very impressive half against a REALLY tough D. One poor decision from Collaros, but otherwise this has been an impressive performance from the O so far.

D has been just so-so. We'll see.

This a long game but this is about as good a half as we could ask for.

Not only 29 points, but 29 points with the Bombers turning the ball over on a pick.

Definitely beat expectations today.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

We're f***ed. Zach not in uniform.

 

[FonRiesen]

Collaros out for the game. Sucks.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Of course the moment they start playing to potential they get hit by an injury.

I would say time to choke them into submission with the run game but i'm not sure the o-line is capable of sustaining long drives like that. They've admittedly done well, but it's in part because the coaching staff clearly schemed to cover weaknesses, which is what they should have been doing weeks ago.

 

[Blitzkrug]

The Saskatchewan o-line decided to get in on the fun, how do you let that much heat get to Harris with a bloody 3 man rush?

Sask has 4 OL on 6 game as well. I was expecting a 13-10 final tbh lol

D's gonna need to put up pts to win this game

 

[Blitzkrug]

Momentum already swinging in the Riders favor

 

[Weezeric]

Imagine if mahomes was hurt after a dirty head shot. CFL continues to be a second rate league with how they care for their QBs

 

[FonRiesen]

Just gotta keep pace like this, and we'll be okay. Limit SK to FG's, we can grind this out.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Ok that's a an establishing drive with Strevy. Riders are bringing 6+ every play. We can take advantage of that later. But for now we established we can still play even with pressure every time. I like it. We'll see, D needs to step up now. Give the O a chance to bury it.

 

[FonRiesen]

Oof, tackling an issue on this drive...
