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

[Larabee]

No resistance at all

 

[Holden Caulfield]

We need pts on this drive. Fg/Td either but strev needs a drive here. Each team has 2/3 tries left, we need pts here to give the D a break.

 

[FonRiesen]

Defense really needs to get a stop here.

Not Bighill...

Helmet to the knee?

 

[Blitzkrug]

The season from hell rolls on...

This might be legitimately it for Bighill if it's a serious knee injury

 

[None]

Well it looked like Bighill was putting a little bit more weight on it the further he went.

Big return by Whitehead. Hopefully the offense can do something.

 

[FonRiesen]

The worst season full of injuries to top players I can remember, in terms of sheer number of players and games missed. We've had some bad ones like Stegall getting injured in his prime just before the playoffs, and Kevin Glenn getting injured in the Western Final when we hadn't played our backup a single time during the season, but this is something else.

 

[FonRiesen]

Castillo is golden.

 

[None]

Damn, Castillo had the range for 60+ there.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Oh god they're going to blow this, aren't they?

 

[FonRiesen]

Never bring the whole house. Blitzing never works for us.

WOOO! That's the game, boys!

 

[None]

Huge knock down. I had little faith if this had gone to OT without Collaros.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Let's f***ing go. Defense answers the bell when the team needs them the most as always.

Who says first in the west had to be pretty?

 

[Heldig]

Second game in a row the D collapses in the 2nd half. Very concerning.

 

[FonRiesen]

Well, D has to do SOMETHING now...

 

[Channelcat]

This is just so......CFL

 

[FonRiesen]

Refs screw us over...

That's offensive pass interference

 

[Blitzkrug]

f*** he almost had the leg for that.

Annnnd exhale.

 

[FonRiesen]

Ya Baby!!! Kickers for the win!!

Way too close, refs blew it big time

 

[Larabee]

The heart attack wasn’t necessary

 

[FonRiesen]

Special teams won this for us... (edit: or really, kept us in the game - the O was fine in the 1st half)

Castillo's long kickoff single forced a 2 point convert attempt (and deep kickoffs all game), and his long FG's

Hallett's TD on the punt

Whitehead's good return when the O was doing nothing.

We dodged a bullet.

Still need to see #90 get suspended. I'd be saying that irrespective of the QB getting injured... We need quality passers in the CFL, and concussions can ruin a guy's entire life.

Bombers shouldn't have won that game, given the way they played at the end given they nearly choked up a big lead. Also they got very lucky with that second straight touchdown. But in the end, happy for the Bombers victory.

 

[gojetsgo]

zach doesn't get hurt and this game isn't close, lucky with a huge return won us this game.

it's like something happened at the end of the 1st half... I wonder what that could have been...

 

[FonRiesen]

Is this the first time in modern CFL history that no Western team is above .500 after Labour day weekend?

 

[bustamente]

A win is a win especially with your starting qb knocked out of the 2nd half, having said that the coaching staff makes some weird calls. Always great beating the Riders in Regina and in the end it doesn't matter how.
