Nope. Not going to go there. I dont believe the refs can see everything, especially on a bang bang change of possession play, where everybody is flipping ends. I only saw it on replay, and even then, I had to go back and confirm what I thought I saw. What im grateful for is, the Officials got it right on game review. This is exactly the kind of thing that when missed during games, should be flagged..and it was.

The announcement of Randy Ambrosie as Commissioner of the CFL is really good news for the league. For example, he has already made me forget about what's-his-name, you know the guy before Randy..

Moe Kahn In a span of three months, the Alouettes have traded their 2014 1st pick (Foucault), and now cut their 2015 1st pick in Jacob Ruby. #AlsMTL

Sure, Newsome gets cut in Saskatchewan, but what about bothersome, woesome and troublesome? Though I already know awesome and fearsome won't be making an appearance...

In Case You Missed It..

"Any time you see an offensive lineman popped up and without a firm base, windmilling their arms and trying to re-establish their punch, you know you’re winning the line of scrimmage, and that was evident Saturday night. Not only did this group stick double teams on the line of scrimmage, but they simply allowed little to no surge by the offensive line, and shut down operations from offensive tackle to tackle." Doug Brown speaking about the three-man interior rotation of Drake Nevis, Cory Johnson and Jake Thomas. https://shar.es/1BEjv1

Wish I could be there for this. He was quite the character....and Coach

It only takes one player to force a change in direction on any kind of return. I'm more impressed when a player can do something when the plan has been disrupted. I didn't see anything extraordinary about the return you mentioned, only that it wasn't as close as you seem to think. He saw the corner, and sped his way to it, and gained yardage. To me, that's what a KR does. I can't say if O'Shea would have been any more perturbed on that play, even if Langford didn't follow "the path". All's I know is he secured the ball, ran hard, and had close to 30 yard return average. That will get you past the 35 yard line almost every time.

Well, finally, something we can agree on..

Not missed at all. Now that's funny. But, you can always console yours of that you have that D-Bag Duron Carter, who face-masked Sam Hurl away from the play on Saturday and got away with it. Truly a class individual. Congratulations...

I'll take your word for how much he was getting paid. That doesn't change the fact that he beat the Riders...twice...in that game and essentially slapped Mr Jones with a backhand "gotcha".

Bye this week - Hamilton I can't wait to lay a beating on the Bombers under the lights July 1st. Place is going to be insane. - (poster- Riderfans - The usual suspect) Herb Zurkowsky - It's believed #AlsMTL cornerback Jonathon Mincy suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter. Injury to @7Bowman not considered serious. Mason Nesbitt - Just talked to @CowboyAthletics and @GopherFootball product Drew Wolitarsky. He's excited to join CFL Winnipeg Blue Bombers in about a week. Randy Turner - Fun Fact: Construction crew that built Mosaic Stadium was 2nd largest workforce in Regina last yr. Only Riders practice roster was larger. Rick Armstrong - The sideline seats at BMO are $225/$250 a ticket. Sidelines midfield $85-$150. Far too expensive when trying to attract fans. #CFL ?‍? Seems like the Bombers forgot to pretend the 1st quarter is the second Q, so they could actually begin to play on time.. ?‍? The Bombers thumb their noses at the Riders by overcoming bad tackling, missed open receivers, allowing 4 sacks and no help from the C’mon Centre. - But we beat Saskatchewan, so all is forgiven… ?‍?Say what you will, but after all is said and done, we played 3/4 and beat a team that played 4 ?‍? Yes, I agree the 4th quarter offence should have been able to control TOP much better than it did ?‍? Heh, heh, heh..Weston Dressler, in the new Mozaic stadium, personally rubbing it in..

We didn’t get that job done.” “We could have come into halftime feeling sorry for ourselves and not responded,” Nichols said. “We did come out and we did respond and put up points and it seemed like they were coming in bunches. I think that just speaks to the kind of team that we have.” “We can play good defence some of the time, but we need to learn how to play good defence all the time,” Jones said. "I make two better decisions in that game, & we win that game." Ed Tait - “We gave the last punch,” said Bombers receiver Darvin Adams. “It’s always good to win. We’ve got a lot of things to clean up, but it’s so much better to be doing it after a win. Jeff Hamilton - Mike O'Shea on W. Dressler: "He’s still fast, if anyone was questioning that. He still gets behind coverage. You need him on the team.” -"Great players make great f**king plays," one #Bomber player said re: Jamaal "shoestring" Westerman, who caught the foot of Marshall in OT. Sam Hurl - Love the guys we got in our locker room! Big win! #bluebombers Chris Jones - We can't say we should be 2-0. We played two good teams who deserved to beat us and we let them make enough plays to beat us. Andrew Harris - “For. The. W.” Maurice Leggett - "No more talking about last year. Time to be better starting this week." ?‍?Somebody's going to lose a road game at Mozaic Stadium..we’re ok this time..

Yeah, but you're the old Mozaic. When does the new one come on here?

I liked what he did on returns. (Lankford) He was steady and looked like he knew where to go. Nice speed and picked up his blocking well. The only downside I see is it'll be harder to get Flanders on the field this way, and I like what Flanders can bring..

And here I thought it was a backwards ride. Sheesh!

And it turns into me complaining eh? Harrumph!

Yes, yes, I know that, but you make it sound like Nichols is the only QB who has lots of passing yardage off of one play. And that's simply not true. Every QB worth a darn has multiple games where this happens. Do you question those too? Or specifically because he is a Bomber? We won despite a below average performance. But we won. Why does that bother so much?

I personally think you take joy in regaling in the mud of a sloppily played football game... (Guess who?)

Every single team has these kind of stats in their games, so what's the point? Does it help that Nichols also threw short passes to equalize that stat?

My personal favourite stat from the Bomber game? Weston Dressler - 1 rushing, 22 yards. 6 receptions for 124 yards 2 Touchdowns ALL in the brand new facility where he was deemed not good enough to play..

Well, that's one team, and their CFL top group of superstar receivers down. Lets do the same for the other groups...

Well then, he's in great company as both BLM and Trevor Harris and Jonathan Jennings all missed wide open receivers this week that would have been TDs...

Thank gawb we didn't kiss that ugly sister..

Another big influence on the game? The C'mon Centre. That turnover they didn't call changed the game, and that's not supposed to happen.
