I'm not questioning the headshot. What I'm saying is that Bridge put himself at risk by cutting back inside. Jeffcoat will be fined but Bridge put himself at risk as well. 

I just was picturing all of Regina yelling in their cars on the way home which made the whole thing kind of funny.  Stadium was all loud with boos.

Love the gutsy win, but I'm just saying the rule book specifically states the following:

A player shall be penalized for any act of Unnecessary Roughness to the passer, including but not limited to:

(b) Any blow to the neck or head of the passer,
(f) Contacting the passer if either the initial source of contact, or primary source of contact, is the defender's helmet.

Whether or not Bridge was inside the pocket is irrelevant, if it's a hit to the head, or even if the defender leads with their helmet - it's a penalty.

It's on page 57.

It's relevant because he's not a passer once he establishes himself as a runner.  Check the case book.

regardless... he was held up, Jeffcoat lead with his head and left the ground... cheap shot. should have been flagged.

You saying he's a quack?

[Super Duper Negatron]

Woooooooooooooooo!

That is all.

 

Ok, I lied. Riders suck.

[Bigblue204]

Watching the ref cam...it was just bad timing. A ssk player stepped in front of the ref just as the hit landed. Bad luck, unfortunate. But that's football. Couldnt have happened to a better fan base. Go **** yourself rider fans!!!!!

Disagree it was cheap.  Should have been 15.  But they missed it because it was a marginal hit on a runner.  Jeffcoat didn't launch himself.  He went up shoulder to shoulder and Bridge's head dropped when he chucked the ball.  There's no intent, they all need to protect their damn heads though.  That hit is as dangerous for the hitter as the guy being hit, wish guys would tackles with their arms and hit/tackle at the waist.

No doubt, duck that guy 

I am sure Rod Black has thought about it...

Cars? They were driving home in their pick ups, tractors and combines.

Sounds like Bighill aggravated his elbow.

Hopefully he can play Sunday.

What. A. Game. So much fun at Mosaic. The crowd around us was AWESOME.!

 

Chros, we're headed to the Fat Badger. 

 

Great venue.

That sounds like a good nickname for Jake Thomas...

[Guest J5V]

Is anyone going to congratulate Mike O'Shea for getting the playoff monkey off his back? I'd imagine he's feeling pretty damned good right about now.

[kelownabomberfan]

Congrats to O'Shea and Nichols. I did like how Matt had to point out to Sara that this was his "second" playoff win. He seems to always be defending himself.

November 11th 2018. The day we remember our fallen men and women who fought for country and for the Bombers who ended the 2018 cup run for the Riders. #lestweforget

Great game to be at Mosaic. 😊

Bombers gave up 3 offensive touchdowns in 4 games against the Riders one from the one yard line.

They need to have review more accessible for lots of issues.

[pigseye]

Brutal conditions both teams did about as well as could be expected but....that wasn't really our A game, hope to see it next week against the Stamps though.

There has to be some onus on the player to protect himself as well, Bridge put himself in that position, Jeffcoat didn't even unload on him.
