Noeller Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 As mentioned several times already, most of Edmonton's big plays were total flukes or outright blown calls (non-calls) by the refs..... SPuDS and Mark F 2

I would say 2 of the plays were as you do described. The TD pass to Stafford was well executed by both players. The deflection to Williams and the missed hold on Watson''s play were more than fortunate for the Eskimos. Mark F and Noeller 2
Mark F Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, do or die said: Loffler misses tackle as well.... Making some big plays, but seems like he is not playing as well as he did last season. Penalty on his game winning INT is the stupidest call I've seen this year. If that's the rule, Commissioner should do what he did with the challenge flag rules. dump it now. hope Heath gets back to making those int catches. I like the DOD tip of the hat to Howard Cosell. good to see the team taking everyone at mbb's advice, re pounding the ball. thanks DOD Edited August 18, 2017 by Mark F

Dirty30 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 Can someone clear this up for me? On the Eskimos last FG, do the Bombers not have the option to elect to take the ball on the 35 or have it kicked off? I couldn't understand why not take it on the 35 rather than risk losing the ball on the short kickoff SPuDS 1
Brandon Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 I was not a fan of the 3rd quarter late hit penalty that Loffler was busted for. The team over the last few seasons have been really good at avoiding doing the late hits and unnecessary penalties. That one was definitely a bad decision since it would of been 1st and 20 instead of 1st and 5....
Booch Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 LAST 3 minutes of game now you have to receive kick...no longer the option SPuDS 1

I know this is knit picking and I apologize in advance, but the gamble was on first down; Nichols faced pressure on 2nd down and threw it out of bounds. Same result in the end, either way... Thanks for Odds and Sods, as always... SPuDS and Mr Dee 2

The Bombers needed two TD's. After TD's you always have to kick off. Bombers got a TD, then had to kick-off, even under the old rules. bearpants and SPuDS 1 1
