With a quick touchdown, then an interception - Montreal is starting the 2nd half strong 💪

I'm new to CFL. Could anyone explain the challenge for the punt-fumble play? What's the rule about 40-yard?

[–] streetfestival 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I'm not sure either :/

That's a rough way to end the half for the Als, turnover on downs 1 yard away from a TD. I guess you can't kick at that distance in the Grey Cup - not exactly a vote of confidence for your team.   If the Als come out strong in the 3rd they can get themselves back in the game. Can't get down too big against a team as strong as the Bombers

I hope I'm able to get back to watch the second half of the game. Should be a good one. I gotta say I expect the Bombers to take it. I'm not sure the Als can do it twice in a row. We'll see!!! Weather sounds like it will be perfect for the game, above zero and no snow or rain.

Looks like Montreal is about to get the upset!!

[–] zhenbo_endle 2 points 1 year ago

The last quarter is amazing!

[–] streetfestival 2 points 1 year ago

That was a fun, close match! Well deserved by the Als!

[–] Zamboniman 2 points 1 year ago

Well how about that? Als win after two big playoff upsets. Good for them!

I didn't have anything better to do on Sunday, so I watched the game. Holy shit! Is it always like that!??

[–] streetfestival 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Glad you enjoyed the game :)! I'm a new fan and not an expert but I think it's pretty typical of the CFL actually that a lot can change in the 4th quarter

[–] Tired8281 2 points 1 year ago

Well, I think I might just have to check out some regular season games next year! :) I really thought it was gonna be Winnipeg, their guy was moving like a frigging dancer in the first quarter.
