That’s the guy who reffed last night. Dave Foxcroft. 

thanks.

Kind of off topic but it would be really nice if organizations could keep the field free of paint from other sports. 
The soccer lines look super bush on TV.

I feel like they should really be playing on the practice field. Do their games get televised? Do they get more than 100 fans?  I’ve legit never heard report of any game player score etc.

The turf needs to be replaced.

That is the bigger issue.

They sure didn’t take very good care of it did they? That stadium’s what 5-6 years old?

I got a look at the end zone camera of the Grant return this morning. The flag was thrown on Jesse Briggs' block (not sure how it became #10 when announced).

I can see why the official threw the flag at the time. Obviously very pleased that they overturned the call.

Thanks. I thought they’d mistakenly thrown it on 00, but didn’t see him do anything eleven close to warranting it.

Not sure if this was mentioned, Grant made 9 Sask players miss him on that incredible return! Almost the whole team...wow.😊

Why is that? I didnt notice anything egregious at all after watching multiple replays....

Agreed. The one hit they talk about with #00 was a ticky tacky call at best and had zero impact on the play.

I think because - in real time- a Rider dove (wildly) - and it could have looked like a push if you half saw it. 
 

Refs should call things they see though. - not guessing.

Exactly…. If something kinda looks like maybe it could’ve been a push if you halfway saw it… Leave the flag in your ******* pocket and not ruin one of the most exciting plays in football.

Precisely! What in the Sam **** was that ref thinking? Great that Demski didn’t explode at officials. Neither did any team member or coach. Super discipline. What if the Bombers didn’t have a challenge! Can the league reprimand a ref for such a shitty call on a non penalty?

Some say they're still picking up their egos smashed all over the field.

[Jpan85]

8 TD in first 41 games 7 return TD in first 35 games one is the best returner in league history the other maybe in a few years.

Hot take alert: Agudosi is a giant nothing burger. Flame away.

He’s been pretty disappointing through two games. Bailey has been solid if unspectacular. Lawler can’t get back soon enough.

The end zone cam (I don't remember it on the broadcast, but we were live at the same time) shows clearly the Briggs block and the side official throwing the flag right at it.

When I think of what it would've looked like from field level at 100 miles an hour, it probably did look like it was from the back. What's the side and what's the back...there's a fine margin there.

Would have said the same thing through the first couple games last year and Rasheed ended up with 9 touchdowns. Seems like receivers in Bombers offence ebb and flow during the season outside of Demski and Schoen.

Yeah, and the previous season he struggled to start. His role in the offense like woli and Demski is also more diverse and important. And we haven’t needed sheed to lead the core.

Yes the 1 reception for 3 yards was really solid.  

[Rod Black]

In points for after two games the Bombers (87) have scored more points than the next most scoring team Lions at 47. Twenty points more per game than the next best team,is phenomenal but is it sustainable? That’s a great start to a season! 
 

extrapolate 87 by seasons end is 783 points. How is that possible? Record is ‘94 stamps with 698. That’s Flutie numbers. 
 

hope to enjoy this season immensely.

If they called wrong number and we challenge how does this work? Do they check all the blocks

Foxcroft literally said they reviewed every block for a violation...lol. What a scam. Call a penalty on a player not on the field then review every play to see if there's someone you can pin it on.
