What are those guys in the review booth watching?
These guys called down during a game in Regina earlier this year to re-spot a ball 1 yard forward on a run-of-the-mill first down play. And not only do they not call down to correct a clear and obvious mistake, Winnipeg has to challenge and it's somehow upheld?! Every time you think you've seen the worst this league has to offer, they surprise you again.
Fortunately the Bombers didn't really get burned too badly, beyond losing the ability to challenge later on. Hopefully they're ahead by enough that it won't matter.
What a comedy of errors late in the half. Winnipeg should have just run Harris a couple times and made sure they got a field goal attempt. Instead they have to punt, but Sask's bonehead returner concedes a point with 20 seconds on the clock. Yet the Winnipeg defense quickly folds and gives up 40 yards...only for Sask to waste too much time and fail to get off an unlikely field goal attempt themselves. Yeeeesh.
Winnipeg is letting Sask hang around. I have no idea why the Riders haven't run the ball, what with being a run-heavy team who now has an injured QB, but despite a costly turnover, a 100+ yard drive conceded, and barely pissing a drop offensively, it's still just a 7 point game. Bombers need to come out and hammer them with Streveler in the second half, just like last week. If Sask gets any momentum going, Winnipeg might panic.
