CFL 2024 Recap: Ottawa @ Winnipeg - week 5

[@lanceleavitt7472]

Winnipeg wins but so do CFL fans. -- Thanks for the great game. ---

[@tudormiller887]

Will The Blue Bombers win The Grey Cup this season ?

[@loopy7776]

I love the CFL.

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

100%

[@broznar1019]

@@loopy7776 really hits my summer itch, I have two criticisms: season should start a month early and finish on thanksgiving vs mid November, and league should be 1 division, tired of east v West grey cups, would not mind an all east or all West grey cup finals

[@teo_heel]

@@broznar1019 I guess CFL won't change it's system of divisions and starting dates just because it's already became a yearly tradition.

[@broznar1019]

@@teo_heel can't argue with the facts, traditions are there, still think it would make it a better product by ending the CFL season closer to the start of NFL and weather-wise. I think the traditions are overdue, it feels like a missed opportunity to limit a best vs best grey cup on a geographic tradition

[@teo_heel]

@@broznar1019 Nah. no fun league should move their starting date to like... never start it ever again. Like who wants to watch that boring so called "league" of overpaid mediocre players? But I agree that divisions should not be used for such a small league. Moving dates... not so much. There's a charm in weather games.

[@bridesblade5307]

Nice! I was getting worried for a second. Go Bombers from MN

[@kodiene4717]

Great game bombers! Still not quite there yet! Our record doesn't define this team we have had the worst of worst luck! 1% better each day boys keep on pushing.

[@trevortomah8508]

Awesome highlights, thanks CFL, go CFL go.

[@jamesqualls8125]

Yes indeed, take that NFL. CFL is 💯 % better. No wonder that the CFL stands for Cool Fun League

[@rossonphillips]

Strevler is a beast!

[@wastedbread8036]

GG Ottawa the champs are here !!

[@bradrobson5301]

bombers are gunna be banged up if they keep playing this physical

[@ItzNyaPlayz1]

It's called football

[@LittleMakwa]

Hopefully Collaros gets healthy soon. Strev stepped up in a big way but Castillo really won us this game he was perfect. Great game!

[@AlexCentury]

Looks like Collaros was the problem. As soon as he went down they actually looked like a football team

[@johnweatherspoon5219]

Winnipeg now needs to keep winning with Chris Streveler as their QB1 for the remainder of the year

[@sorshiaemms5959]

Agreed he come along way since 2019 BUT the o/c could be a problem still tends to call the same plays over and over adnd goes up the middle to much needs to look at Montreal s plays , CFL you need to be mobile as a QB

[@martindavis9930]

Brady O. reminds me of Jim Brown

[@nathalievilleneuve800]

J'aime mieux la CFL que la NFL

[@Mr.Yeet2003]

Brady led the team in rushing and receiving

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

He's a beast.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

should mix it up and use Augustine more and pass to BRADY shot side line passes

[@sorshiaemms5959]

Streveler has come a long way since 2019 his passing much better lets hope THE O/C expands his play book and doesn t run the same up the middle plays and put the WIN back in Winnipeg

[@poirierpascalxavier7601]

It's unfortunate for Ottawa's QB injury. Hope he recovers quickly!

[@ItzNyaPlayz1]

Ottawa was holding so much that game. Typical refs are blind though

[@Sizzurp1008]

#🥤🌍 💯💯

[@brianknapp6215]

Strevller has that epic beard game going like FitzMagic did in the NFL...

[@duncanb8186]

good to see the Bombers win had a few close games this year but came out on losing side

[@tudormiller887]

❤ The CFL. Way better than the NFL (No Fun League) 🏈🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@nancynilsson3281]

Where’s Kohnny Augustine? Blue Bombers!

[@liljohnnyboy]

Can't wait till they add Whitehead..They may go on a 3 game win streak watch out..They may be good again..

[@teo_heel]

Whitehead have some criminal problems.

[@liljohnnyboy]

@@teo_heel Dude shut the h3ll up and go away! Nobody asked for you, nobody would ever ask for your comment.. Go back to your black hole.

[@liljohnnyboy]

@@teo_heel You have some life problems..Lay off the alcohol and get back in the game.

[@teo_heel]

@@liljohnnyboy How the fuck you decided that I'm drinking when in fact I WAS NEVER DRUNK in my life? That info was given by people who are inside the league. I'm not making things up.

[@string-bag]

Oliveira is a tank,

[@douglasstruthers8307]

Ottawa's defence certainly lost a lot of one-on-one battles in the trenches against Winnipeg's offence tonight. What has happened to the REDBLACKS' passing game? The Blue Bombers earned an impressive victory. In order to ensure player safety, the league needs to fine & suspend two players for head shots against defenseless QBs tonight.

[@teo_heel]

Dru Brown was injured early in the game and Dustin Crum was running. Brown was 2 for 6 for just 24 yards before he was injured, he didn't do much, just a few passes and a few rushes, Ottawa didn't have a lot of time possessing the ball.

[@AlexCentury]

Neither of those were intentional, just unfortunate body position combined with the speed of the game. Really shouldn’t have been a flag for that reason either.

[@MHuntertv]

Raquel armstead had good game for redbla is

[@MHuntertv]

Redblacks my autocorrect sucks

[@jcgroulx]

So if Ottawa got a major foul for that hit on the QB at 4:53, did Winnipeg get one for the hit at 3:06? They didn't show it, but it's the same play so I'm wondering how that played out.

[@teo_heel]

Yes, Redha Kramdi was penalized for 15 yards.

[@jcgroulx]

Thanks

[@kamelsport-666]

enfin une victoire des Winnipeg,il était temps,j'espère c'est le début du réveille?

[@mattt2277]

Refs need to go back to school. Not one called that hit on streveler. Cfl should fine them for once

[@teo_heel]

They called it after the fact.

[@mattt2277]

@@teo_heel Toronto did, yes. The command center. The fact not one ref on the field thought that hit was illegal speaks volumes to the training they get

[@teo_heel]

@@mattt2277 just one decision. I won't make it so important. Otherwise they did an okay job.

[@mattt2277]

@@teo_heel a player safety decision, and honestly hitting a sliding qb is one of the easiest calls to make. Ignoring the rest of the calls they missed, this one deserves punishment imho

[@teo_heel]

@@mattt2277 true. Hits on the head should be penalized for sure.

[@robertmay9798]

Winnipeg should become a FG team.

[@coleslaw9748]

Castillo pretty much put up more points than the entire Ottawa team lol

[@teo_heel]

3:36 - I'm still not 100% sure if that was a lateral pass.

[@broznar1019]

I'm 100% sure Ottawa player should have been able to recover that

[@teo_heel]

@@broznar1019 that's not the question. But yeah, he should've just recover that.

[@SirLionofBiff]

Dunno if this makes a difference in your world, but I officiated football for a long time. My guts said "lateral' before the ball came loose.

[@teo_heel]

@@SirLionofBiff Thanks for your opinion, I'm always interested in seeing experienced people talking about some questionable moments.

[@trevorhembrough1290]

Bombers have a QB controversy

[@jordanteichroeb1275]

Nah just can’t throw the ball when you don’t have any receivers

[@trevorhembrough1290]

@@jordanteichroeb1275 They have a controversy on their hands.

[@broznar1019]

I thought as much since the signing. Think they could find a dance partner with Hamilton for one of their QBs

[@mattt2277]

Lmao no they don't. Streveler isn't a threat to collaros. There's a reason he's a back up

[@ItzNyaPlayz1]

​@@mattt2277 facts

[@teo_heel]

No face mask penalty on what could've been a great stop of Redblacks with about 1:30 left in the 4th quarter? Okay...

[@CheeseEnthusiast617]

Winnipeg wins but are they really back? Offense didn’t look very good outside of Olivera, defense still giving up big plays (although they did give up less this time)

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

Lot's of injuries to key players still. One step at a time.

[@teo_heel]

Yeah... I won't say much after this win.

[@ItzNyaPlayz1]

All there good players are injured

@@ItzNyaPlayz1 Not all. Nic Demski, Drew Wolitarsky, Brady Oliveira, Willie Jefferson., Sergio Castillo are playing.

[@dsc4178]

Did losing Brown make a bigger difference than 3 turnovers.

[@teo_heel]

What a boring game it was in the first half. Congrats Blue Bombers, you won a game.

[@grahammcfadyenhill9555]

I watched this game. Winnipeg player Kramdi should have been disqualified for his head shot on the sliding Ottawa QB.

[@kumamaneh]

it was very uncharacteristic of this version of the bombers..though I will say imo Kramdi was committed to go down and it seemed like he was aiming for where he figured browns legs were going to be, then the slide was pretty abrupt...just saying that is not out of the question, Kramdi not a known dirty guy...he would be with the Alouettes if he was.

[@BIG_SHOTTI]

They wont be any good this year they just cant get it up anymore,and wtf all the penalties

[@teo_heel]

Who are you talking about? Ottawa had 5 penalties for 52 yards and Winnipeg had 8 penalties for 95 yards. Explain yourself.

winnipeg born n bred and lived in ottawa for a decade along the way. i will say they have a core of interpid fans, given how much grief their team has suffered in the past 40 years. when they were canvassing for the new name, i wrote in and suggested the Ottawa River Rats, but it did not get to the top 5 lmao. i had many good seasons watch ing games in ottawa, good atmosphere there....best game was 88 Grey Cup, with the W for the WBB!
