Unless the CFL has a tuck rule that's a fumble.

Pierce should be take out. He can't see downfield.

D is playing incredibly well, but Pierce is sputtering.

Must be politics involved behind the scenes. It's obvious that he's not on his game but they just won't take him out.

Amazing how much holding the Riders get away with.

Ha, I was about to post the same thing.

The Bombers aren't a good football team, but I feel like they somehow deserve this win. Frustrating.

Bombers' D has been awesome, their O???? Not so much.

Pierce with his dink and dunk isn't going to bring the team back.

Hard to win when your QB isn't effective and the refs only look one way.

We saw in Calgary here that the Bombers have a really good defensive line but their offense doesn't have any clutch players from the QB to receivers. Edwards really had to make that catch. Game over now.

I think the Lions will make it.

The Riders emergence has been good for the CFL as they carry the best TV ratings in the league. IMO there is pressure to ensure that they get the calls especially in their own barn. There have been a few key plays in this game where they have got away with blatant holding. There was one play on a roll out where the defender got pulled back and I thought the play wouldn't matter as it was clearly holding and no flag and a 20 yard gain.

If the Lions get some of their key players back from the NFL, they're my pick...

Eskimos. I think they take at least one of the next two against the Stampeders and when Fred Stamps comes back they could get that offense going. I have a feeling Lulay will get some starts when Printers inevitably get hurt again and that means interceptions for their opponents. Bombers won't go anywhere as long as they continue to hitch their hopes to Pierce.

I'd go with the Lions to make it. Of the three, they're the most talented, and Printers is good enough to win some games on his own (and lose some on his own, too). And even though Mallett is a free agent, I think it's most likely that he returns to BC if another NFL team doesn't pick him up.

Brutal call. That happens on almost every play.
