Why. It was a catch 

Great second half but it's gonna take 60 minutes to beat them in the final

F*&^$%&*^%$&(*^!@#&%$@W*^$^*##*%^(%^#^*CK

Good game though.

Love my Bombers.

This won doesn't count.

Leave 'em cocky.  We'll get the last one.

My 9-yr-o was referencing the Stegall miracle catch .... almost  ..... I've trained him well.

If we don't spot them 24 points, we win this game. We did what we needed to in this game. Now let's secure a home playoff game in the semi final.

bombers shoukd have challenged that

JFG is totally, totally end of game  CLUTCH .  Toews of the Bomber. 

I hope this game lights a fire under our @$$ and gets us to finally start playing a full 4 quarters of football. Bloody brilliant game though.

Adams falls on the ball that's 3 less points

VERY impressed with the end drive that produced the last Bomber touchdown.

Winnipeg teams have been unable to do this in recent years. Or even come close. 

They deserved a better fate.

That first half was a gong show just like the first half of the TO game only, Calgary isn't TO.

Egads the highs and lows in this game.  I'm just stunned.  This game was a microcosm of our season thus far.  Amazing second half that gave us a chance, but if the Bombers play anything resembling decent or even average football in the first half, then we win.

Time to go on another win streak...

Damned autocorrect

Good way to lose...close but they'll be able to see how a bonehead play here and there makes a difference, how they have to win every down and play a full game.

I'm. Starting to think that we maybe go 12-6 now. We're road warriors.

Like most here so many highs & lows in this game. Very disappointed we lost but happy with the effort in the 2nd half. They never gave up.
 Man, I'm exhausted.. Happy sad, excited, angry, exulted. Just a mix of emotions...

 

Wish we played a quarters D on that last offensive play...why were our DB's running with the receivers?  FML...cut out most of the route tree and at least make it hard to get downfield.

The team has been making great adjustments after the halftime break all season. Too bad they can't come out like that in the first quarter

I agree.  With what is available now in terms of the number of eyes and technology, they need to make those adjustments before the half.  They are working off the same play card regardless, more an adjustment in what is called and when.

So, is Nichols are qb for everyone now? Or do some  still want Glenn? 

Both the offensive and defensive coordinators have done a very good job this year

Not a theory at all, that's the rule for a dribbled ball, which is what the call was. You have to be onside in order to recover a dribbled ball, which was negated when Adams touched it

The way Forde was talking about it when it happened he was thinking it was an actual kick where no yards would apply. Trying to recall the play, when it touched Adams there was a Calgary player within 5 yards. Since there was no flag I assume the Calgary guy was onside when the OLineman kicked it? Otherwise shouldn't a flag have been thrown? Or does a "dribbled ball" not allow for no yards to be called? Just as long as long as an offside player doesn't touch it first. 

Basically Adams should have just fallen on the ball. Oh well.

Heartbreaking loss but they can be proud of that 2nd half. I certainly am.

They f'd that up all around.

Honestly, even though we didn't win we did what we had to (with all respect to Milt). Let's kick some ass down the home stretch.

I believe in the last 3 minutes teams can only challenge PI calls.  If O'Shea threw a flag he would have received a delay of game penalty and the kick would have been even shorter.
