That safety could be huge. The Lions only need to win by 3 next week to get the tie breaker with Winnipeg.

Had a chance to win it but a horrible call on 3rd and 1. We didn't it once already do you not think they would be ready for it. If you can't make one yard with the defence off the ball you don't deserve to win.

That being said that was an absolute awful call by the refs on the fumble

That's what I saw too.

How does the command centre screw that up. It wasn't even those iffy PI ones where it could go either way. This one was a clear fumble. Is Jake Ireland still the head of the command centre?

Neutral here (Esks fan), although I was cheering for the Bombers. You guys just got jobbed on that fumble. Clearly out before he hit the ground.

Why bother having all these reviews when they can't get them right when it really counts. We all see a fumble. The announcers see a fumble. And the post game panel unanimously agree it's a fumble. Yet the "command centre" doesn't. How does that happen? My brain is fried, I can only determine the league is showing favoritism.

X4. I thought he should have cut inside for the first diwn. Giulio Caravatta and Wally Buono agreed on the postgame show.

It seems to me the Command Centre exist to support the officials. It was clear as day that it was a fumble. What was the review official watching ?

They threw to Sinkfield on the last play of the game. What's the point of signing him if they don't use him ?
