CFL 2024 Recap: Calgary @ Winnipeg - Week 6

[@Jefff72]

As an American, this is damn good football! Go Bombers!

[@dwaynemclaren7160]

you like watching third string players acting like there all that?

[@MurrayTheJetsDog]

@@dwaynemclaren7160 isn't that nfl players problems? most are divas? 99% of cfl players are humble

[@Jefff72]

How many Americans can play in the CFL at one time? Maybe 200. I think it’s 20 Americans per team. I think they have three players that are international. The rest of Canadians. There are NFL players that have come to the CFL and did not dominate like everybody thought they would. Like when Ricky Williams was suspended from the NFL due to weed for a year. Then he came to Canada and played in the CFL. People thought he was gonna run for I don’t know 3000 yards. Or whatever. Like you can do that in three down football. These are still professional football players.

What a game

[@8bit_paul]

Wow. Great job CFL, what a terrific example of how great our game is. Go Lions!

[@teo_heel]

What I liked about the game is the fact that Winnipeg are trusting Sergio Castillo with the long field goals. Even if he missed one from 53 yards, he was very close on that one. Castillo started awfully and was against chipped balls but he recovered perfectly and now he's one the best kickers in the league.

[@LightingInvoker]

In the pre game warm up he was practicing from the Stamps 40 and was getting the first bounce in the end zone.

[@teo_heel]

@@LightingInvoker Stamps 40? Yeah... that's a cheap shot for Sergio. :D

[@VoIcanoman]

Dusty and Dunigan are the best pair of in-game announcers in Canada, and there's really no contest. The frenetic energy that Dusty brings to the call (ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!!), plus Dunigan's extensive CFL experience make their colour commentary second-to-none.

[@szahmad2416]

Yeah...I really wish the expansion had worked out.

[@teo_heel]

@@szahmad2416 it worked. CFL had an expansion for one reason and one reason only - to survive. They needed money and new expansion teams provided them the money they needed. Even if Ottawa folded (that was mostly the problem with the owner of Rough Riders, not the league), CFL survived the very problematic period due to expansion.

Honorable mention to Pokey (Ontaria) Wilson who got his 1st CFL TD last night and also my personal fave, Brady O showing the crowd what he's so good at: Bully Ball!!! Go Blue!!!!!!

[@shanegiofu213]

Sloppy game. Sometimes sloppy games are super exciting and this one was a nail biter. Great action, great commentating. P.S., Rider fan here. All the same, this was an amazing game to watch and a great example of what the league has to offer. Loved the gutsy call to go for two near the end. Likely changed Calgary's whole outlook on how to play call the remainder.

[@leoncardinal2035]

I'm a Stamps fan. Great game. I love the CFL!

[@steveshame]

I wish the NFL would adopt the way the Receivers run to the line and route without stopping, being timed perfect. I know Arena football uses that technique but man would it be awesome in the NFL.

Defense sucks!!! No quality pressure all game really until the flattening sack at the end. Yes there were picks but mostly just bad throws tbh.

Normally you would never call a high scoring dual like this ugly....but with both defenses doing alot of gambling it led to both lots of turnovers. And on the other hand alot of missed tackles . Along eith the punt block. All of it led to the game of the year. Tough loss for the Stamps though!

[@ScottB-d8b]

The game was purposefully snatched from Calgary when this particular ref and Command Center overturned a simple incomplete pass and claimed it was “accidental pass interfence”! they did this to keep the Bombers from having to punt from their own endzone and losing, to help Winnipeg from dropping to 1-5! what was even worse was the announcers, who couldn’t shut up long enough to breathe….Calgary was robbed by the worst overturn ever -and the league will help BC win tonight as well…shame on you CFL!

[@mattt2277]

The back ref in this game needs to be fired. That call from 40+ yards away with the no catch was atrocious. Really shows the bush league level the cfl wants in its refs. It's also a bad look that the league essentially penalized the bombers for using their challenge. It's essentially doubling down on one guys mistake. Challenges are supposed to correct mistakes

[@teo_heel]

That can happen anywhere, not just CFL. And it didn't matter, Blue Bombers still got the first down on the next play.

[@mattt2277]

@teo_heel true, but I think the league needs to seriously look at how it handles refs blowing calls like that. That could end a drive potentially in a big game. Making them lose yards and the down was a ridiculous outcome. Minimal it should have been replay the down.

[@teo_heel]

@@mattt2277 yeah, I guess some rule changes are needed on situations with the wrong call.

@robinshoulders444 problem is they're trained to be looking at certain aspects of the field. He's not following that training and negatively impacting the game. He's the back judge, he should never be making calls for plays close to the LOS. And yes, I'm a ref. He should do his job properly or not at all

[@CheeseEnthusiast617]

I wouldn't get too excited yet if I was a Bombers fan. Yes the offense was amazing but Calgary's defense isn't good, and Winnipeg's own defense allowed over 450 yards. Ontaria "Sticky" Wilson certainly is somebody to look at potentially being a #1 guy for this year. But unless Winnipeg can figure out that defense Saskatchewan is just gonna run AJ Ouellette all over them next week
