Got Milt?

Man, I just when it seemed another game was going to slip through the fingers of the Bombers (again with some questionable officiating), Kevin Glenn through a bomb to Milt Stegall, who races the rest of the way to the endzone as time runs out. The Edmonton defenders made poor attempts to stop Stegall, who now has 133 career TDs and is only a few (4?) shy of the career CFL record held by George Reed and Mike Pringle.

This was only seconds after the Esks had taken the lead off a Glenn fumble, followed up by a TD pass from Rickey Ray to Jason Tucker and a two point convert that put the Esks up 4 with 10 so sec to go. The Bombers had pretty much controlled the game, so it would have been cruel to lose, especially by a mistake at the end.

However, Glenn made up for putting the ball on the turf by connecting with Stegall.

The Bombers look strong. Glenn was a little shakey as he overthrew some receivers, and Charles Roberts did rush much, but the defense was again solid, as was Troy Westwood in kicking the ball.

Grey Cup contenders? Well, certainly more so now than I would have thought two months ago.
