I also thought it was a catch. But don't we have someone watching a lives stream of the game? I saw a few screen shots from the broadcast that showed it was clearly incomplete. Do we have anyone doing this? I always thought we did...but after friday I'm not sure how anyone could have missed that.

I'm watching Hockey now - will be fully vested when the season starts in less than two weeks. I agree it was a chincy call but the player was not on the line. Only issue I have with the call is the lateness of the flag. I agree with other posters here - the line judge watches the line from the sideline, and usually throws the flag right away. Only thing I can think of is he confirmed with the line judge from the other side first. i.e. he didn't want to throw a flag if a bomber receiver from the opposite end was on the line - thus negating the call. When the other sideline judge said no, he threw the flag. No different than the Sk too many men penalty in the G.C. a few years back. But here's how I see it, the bombers were playing the defending Grey Cup champs and now, with the loss of Collaros, the best team in the league. They hung with them all game, really fought it out. Those guys complaining about the Bombers O - hey that's a Rich Stubler Defense, and Rich knows Nichols very well. He made his adjustments and it took the bombers a while to figure out what to do. That's why they're the CHAMPS. Good on Wpg! I expected a blow out and instead was treated to a close game that had a heartbreak ending. If the bombers had played that way a few more times, it wouldn't have been a must win. It still wasn't IMO - B.C. will be slaughtered by the Eskimos today. Bombers still, have a good chance. They just gotta keep playing this way every week. If they do, they'll win their share of games. If they lay an egg last week, it's on THEM - not an official. You're allowed to be one yard back from the line. That's in the rule book. The pictures clearly show him half a yard back, in line with the tackles (who were aT least in line with Nichols). While I'm not convinced it's a conspiracy....it was 100% the wrong call.

how we can have such atrocious reffing at the biggest time of cfl exposure in a decade blows my mind... we look so bush. Even our instant replay guys cant get **** right! Our jumbotron guys have been horrible for a long long time. Horrible timing, both for when it's bad for the bombers and when it's good for the away team.

My buddy timed it....7 seconds after the whistle (end of play). That's how long it took to throw that flag. A flag that should have been thrown as soon as the ball was snapped.

Wow

How in mother nature's rib cage is it a reflection on O'Shea if a player has a brain fart?Let me spell it out for all the MOS lovers it's called accountability there is none, that's why these brain farts happen how many ways can you lose a game before you realize hey maybe there just not prepared?Think Huffer would put up with that kind of mistake?Not a chance in hell.Oh well at least it was close.Obviously, you can't spell very well because a coach can only coach so much...then it's up to the player. That's why there's different levels of "talent" in the league. If you make those mistakes too often, you I'll be replaced. Also it's not a mistake if the refs actually screwed up...they are humans it happens. But you can't put that on the players. And from all the evidence including the rule book....all signs are pointing to the refs ******* up.

Article 3 – Scrimmage Zone The scrimmage zone is the area extending one yard on each side of the line of scrimmage and from Sideline to Sideline. So he is allowed to be a yard off?

I have a picture of the play and it sure looks like the tackles are just as far back as Adams. They are definitely behind Nichols.

Oh ok. IC For the record...I actually like the all golds...so that's what I'll be wearing

Anyone else hear about this? Apparently it's gold jersey night tonight. Does that mean it's the old all golds? Or just the away jerseys?

They used to but they kept bringing all the boys to the yard I was waiting for it....

FYI anyone having an issue with the wfp website https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/3ep2oi/a_way_to_bypass_the_winnipeg_free_press_paywall/

He won a grey cup with a team Buono built. Once he had a few years as the head coach things started to fall apart, granted there were some injuries etc. But I don't think Benevidez will be a head coach again any time soon.

also this thread has gone to **** and is annoying as all hell to read....just my opinion though

No one is MAKING anyone do anything on this forum lol. Just cause you might be wrapped up in some conversation and feel the need to answer, doesn't mean they are MAKING you. As an example, please someone reply to this comment and everyone who is having a hard time understanding how to ignore people, watch...as I ignore the hell out of it!!

Hahahahahaha! good one

I always wondered about that (removing helmets so easily) it was always a pain in the ass to take my helmet off.

In? you mean hook/button right? There are no short crossing routes in this offence!!

I like the size!

They also have an OC who understands how to beat a blitz and that protecting said QB is the #1 importance. How many qb's have been hurt in MB system while he's been with the bombers? What about his entire career? Not saying it's all on him either. But it's just interesting to think about.

Just gonna leave us hangin....

yeah I for one am glad he hasn't come here yet. Go see everyone else...let's get an idea of what they are offering and then try to blow them out of the water with our offer. Meaning, sponsors need to get involved...maybe a nice house/car etc etc etc

So is Gordon a bomber still??

He had a monster 2nd half!

I disagree. We can win games with Nichols.I think it'll take 4 more wins to make the playoffs. Let's say we beat Montreal, BC, Ottawa once and another win somewhere. It's definitely doable with Nichols and the D playing at a high level. Montreal with Marsh and BC with Beck we can beat. Montreal with Cato/Crompton and BC with Lulay are both questionable games. I can't really see us beating anyone else unless the defense keeps playing how they did this week - which isn't sustainable. We've already beaten Cato. And have you watched Lulay play? BC is in some serious trouble going forward at the QB position. Lulay isn't what he used to be.
