Odds and Sods - Game 1 - Bombers at Riders
I believe it would have been considered a safety (2 points) if it was considered at all. 2-1=1

Addison Richards making pro debut Thursday
I hope they keep JFG on the field, I can see him playing a significant role if they involve him in the short passing game. I'm sure Hamilton will be looking for the RB's exiting the backfield so the dump passes they used so well against Sask. may not be there next game. Glad to assume Richards did not have a concussion.

Odds and Sods - Game 1 - Bombers at Riders
Yeah, while kinda dumb, I could see how this was applied to the Demski catch. He didn't consciously catch the ball and run into his end zone, which is what a safety is really all about. That being said, had that been a Winnipeg player doing the exact same thing, like Veltung, I could see the Riders getting a safety, as the Bombers always seem to be on the wrong end of the grey area penalty/judgement calls.

I guess O'Shea could not have challenged that play even if he wanted but that one pt. could have been critical in a tight game.

I found this. AR: Team A kicks to Team B. B1 catches the ball in the Field of Play while moving towards own Goal Line and, in the judgment of the official, the momentum carries B1 into own Goal Area. RULING — Rouge (possession deemed to have been gained in the Goal Area).

Hard to imagine the refs. and O'Shea could have missed that. I read elsewhere that if momentum carries the player out it doesn't count as a safety but I find that hard to believe.

Pontbriand did some great blocking on those runs, Nick Moore not so much. Clarence tried once and caught a flag.

Congrats On Big Win
I think we'lll win but I'm sure Austin noticed the big gainers over the middle and the big runs around the ends. (shudder) Not worried about the offence, they'll find a way. Bombers need to find a way to shut down Fantuz.

Big challenge for sure but I think a team with a strong running game could plan around Glenn's deficiencies and still make the playoffs. The 30 yard endzone pass is a real weak point of Glenn's game but he seems to move the ball effectively between the 30's.

You forget that Taman would be the one that has to fire him and Chamblin isn't going to let him.

CFL.ca has more balanced highlights of the game. TSN is a disgrace.

I assume that you must have caught him in the buffet line. Nope, I got to the game early and while he was walking around on the field to his private box he noticed my Bomber jersey and came over to say hi. We chatted for a while. He's really good with the fans. Smart to wear your Wade Miller jersey!

It's been a couple of years since teams have moved the ball up and down the field so prolifically. I don't like the "hands off receivers" rules but the league has probably accomplished what they set out to with the new rule changes.

I don't believe he's available, hard to track but I believe he's still on the NFL radar.

Okay, Marcel is off the table at least until next week at this time.

The CFL should sponsor a Kevin Glenn lotto to see which team gets him next year. At this rate he'll be playing into his mid 50's.

I It was driving me crazy hearing the announcers just swooning over Messam. The guy has a huge lane with nobody in front of him for yards and he's all of a sudden a top 10 player in the league. Give me a break And he can't handle more than 8 carries a game. Although Cornish is trending that way too. If they're going to run Cotton like that they need to spell him a bit more as well. Marshall can handle the slack.

Reilly has been running on horseshoes for two years straight, his luck finally ran out. When he comes back I expect him to play more like Durant.

Bombers and Riders defences looked like twins tonight, both played badly. Soft zone is going to be hard to watch this year.
