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.

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.

[@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

I was at this game in person and it was a thrilling, nailbiting affair the entire way through!!! Loved to see Zach C get the monkey off his back and get some TDs from his receivers!! 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!!!!!!

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.

@@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.

I loved hitting the over on Stamps @ Bombers over 47.5. I love the over as well on Sask @ BC which is currently sitting at 51 points.

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. Pass rush needs help, would make it easier for the DBs because of coverage time and also force the QB into uncomfortable situations and make more mistakes.

[@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!

Nah... Stop blaming refs on something that they did right. It was truly an accidental pass interference. What should referees do? Just ignore that? Nah, it would be a HUGE mistake.

[@clyde38]

Most entertaining brand of football in the world.

[@kaminator515]

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!

[@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

[@TimDyck]

Why didn't Calgary gamble on their last possession? They handed the game to Winnipeg without trying to get a 1st down that would have rallied the team.

They had time to punt and hope that defense will do it's job.

@@teo_heel obviously that was a stupid plan. One first down would mean losing the game.

But unless Winnipeg can figure out that defense Saskatchewan is just gonna run AJ Ouellette all over them next week
