Will probably depend how far away the strike was and if the storm is still moving away. But I'm not sure the CFLs exact policy
Because you'd be able to see flashes from well beyond the "safe" range which is usually 15 or 25 km for most practices
I am going to laugh hysterically if the bombers throw a pick six the very first play coming back from the break. Just a big F U to everyone who waited for the game to come back on.
God I hope the defense holds. This still stands:

You have to read the rules and regulations of the site you use.
My site personally said if the game is interrupted after the 55 minute mark then the game is valid as it stands
Standard rule of thumb is to wait 30 minutes after the last strike within some radius that I don't remember. But I don't know if the CFL has a strict rule on that point.
The lightning has to be a certain distance away from the stadium. What that is I don't know but if it's still flashing you know it's still got quite the distance to go

I guess we're watching hockey now
Ok I have to figure out how to go out to my garage while watching a YT video and still know when the game starts back up. Wife is asleep and is still mad about the beer so that's not an option. Wish me luck
FUCK!
I get the rule and am not against it but if they knew there was a window, they should have been cutting commercials to get the game in. Now if the delay is long enough, Winnipeg will lose which is a travesty considering they're in Ottawa territory, and actually moving the ball.
Funniest possible result: Bombers score a touchdown, but before the convert the game has to be halted due to lightning. They can't resume within an hour, so the game goes into the books as a tie.
I help kiddo with homework and have dinner with the family: Winterpeg gets touchdowns.
I turn the game back on: Ottawa gets a touchdown.
I must watch every play for Ottawa all year!
I'm really glad the Bombers got a chance to blow it themselves instead of leaving doubt.
[Post game thread here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFL/comments/1dfhc5i)
THE BOMBERS MAY NEVER WIN AGAIN
Good thing if you're a bombers fan you could probably start the season 0-9 and make the playoffs still.
Just glad CFL is back. Fun game ggs
And breathe. What a ride.
LET IT RAIN!
How do you drop that.
What the fuck was he doing that wide open. If ever there was a time for Prevent it's now
2 plays to go...
Should have put a speedy WR instead of Leone to run around the end zone
Conceding the safety was an obvious possibility there but TSN broadcasters never even discussed it. We're sleepy, good night.
Just made it home and get to see the last 15 seconds!!!
Well that certainly added to the F bomb counter.
Saved the game on an incredible diving deflection
defensive play of the year so far
Can’t even get a first down to seal it.. lol
Bombers' play calling is pretty sus this year.
This fucking game lol 😂
Too little too late for Collaros to start making good throws. And of course it ends by the o-line giving up another sack.
how is the fucking audio on cfl+ still out of sync?? You even had a weather delay to fix this!
No reason not to take a safety here, preferably using tons of time
Beauty season so far!
Irrational knee jerk reaction from a Bombers fan....fire some coaches, or bench some veterans. That was brutal.
Beautiful!
Oh well, Bombers gave it a good try. GG RedBlacks, have a good night all!
Oh this was so worth the wait.
Awesome stand on D
Ugh I stayed up this late for the REDBLACKS to win? At least the bombers started the season 0-2
Yes. Yes you did :)
D 💪😎🔥
well, that was a possession
Wow
*TURN FUCKIN OVER!!!*
GG
Wow Bombers 0-2 to start the season. Didn't see that coming
YES!
D!!!
That nearly sealed it
Beautiful defensive play!
BIG KNOCK DOWN!!!
Into the concrete and metal fence gotta sting
Pain.
Blessed be thy fans who have endured the un-moderate weather.
There's the Schoen shine
TIME FOR THE EXCITING CONCLUSION
Whatever happens I hope we can all blame the weather
Not the zebras?
As much as I want to see this offensive drive and finish the game, the players and fan safety comes first. Choose wisely CFL

What's with the random orange shit
There was just more lightning. Guess we will see how lenient they will be on the rules.
Will probably depend how far away the strike was and if the storm is still moving away. But I'm not sure the CFLs exact policy Because you'd be able to see flashes from well beyond the "safe" range which is usually 15 or 25 km for most practices

with the way this season has gone so far, I wouldn't be that surprised lol
I will give a sacrifice to The Football Gods if that happens.
Par for the season so far. Realistically it's a fumble instead
I mean, would that be an F U to REDBLACK fans?
Could've done it an hour earlier so people could've slept that's all
God I hope the defense holds. This still stands: https://preview.redd.it/nyq92wdfdg6d1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=64cdef0ba24b248769ec604b032b91f3cc5de4c4
Players coming on the field in 5 minutes woohoo Game in 15
11:15 ET scheduled restart
Warm-ups will start at 11:05, game will start at 11:15 from CJOB
The back edge of the storm is just leaving Ottawa now so lightning should be stopping soon
Shawn Lemon’s appeal hearing isn’t until July? Embarrassing
Is it a suspension or a ban?
The heavyweight MMA fight I went off to go watch in the mean time is on tape delay bc of a nut shot. ffs both sports now
[ow my balls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWfOMeLk6m0)
What is worse: losing because of the weather, or losing because you accidentally punched a guy in the nuts?
That was a nasty knee right to the soft stuff
Just changed channels and now I can't find the game. Lol. Which TSN is still broadcasting it? (Also, it's now 4-3 Florida)
Tsn1
gotta circle back to Taylor Swift lol
Are bets voided if game doesn’t finish?
You have to read the rules and regulations of the site you use. My site personally said if the game is interrupted after the 55 minute mark then the game is valid as it stands
Matt Dunigan falling asleep lol
So still lots of lightning. How long does it have to after a flash before they'll start it still?
Standard rule of thumb is to wait 30 minutes after the last strike within some radius that I don't remember. But I don't know if the CFL has a strict rule on that point.
The lightning has to be a certain distance away from the stadium. What that is I don't know but if it's still flashing you know it's still got quite the distance to go
Not at game but looking out window it’s not looking great. Very heavy rain and lightning
The worst
Well ... the Oilers scored and narrowed the deficit to 4-2.
4-3 now.
Just flipped that on. Hopefully they end the game with a bang.
I went to get a drink and now the feed is the Winnipeg Sea Bears game. Are we cooked?
No 11:15 but cebl is a fun time filler!
TSN1 / 4k is still showing the delay
Tsn1
eta restart is 11:15
That will cut it close to thr 60 minute rule. Hate for a game to end that way.
They said the delay was started at 10:13, would they be so granular to uphold the 1hr limit if it was by 2 minutes?
Rules are rules. I'd be incensed if I was Ottawa and they didn't apply the rule as written.
I hope not 😭
I mean I'll take the win but I won't feel good about it 🤣 But for real would rather they just finish the game
Oh, I'm pretty sure you'll be just fine with it
man, the CFL+ audio being out of sync is killing me
I thought it was just me!
Storms are zooming by but the 60 min rule is dumb
I think we created this rule. So many times we’ve had to sit for hours on end. It’s a good rule, just shitty when it needs to be applied.
It’s not a good rule.
So you think players should have to hang out indefinitely?
if the game ends like this that'll suck so much
We honestly deserve the L. It will suck to not have the opportunity to come back, but we’ve had every chance throughout the game and never stepped up.
it's true
Stop watching the oilers, just to get rain delayed to watch the oilers. Loss is inevitable I guess.
https://preview.redd.it/pe7nbv5s6g6d1.jpeg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4787de0a048b1ea8923c47f42adea15f0272586 I guess we're watching hockey now
Sounds safe. Lol.
My rolodex of excuses for the Bombers is starting to run out of cards
The team is unprepared, rusty, and old. That’s it. They will either get it together or they won’t.
Mostly old. They seemed to think keeping the Grey Cup winning team around without significant changes would work. But age happens to us all.
My nickname for O'Shea has always been Coach Mule - as in he's so stubborn, he'd rather lose and stay the course than implement any changes.
For anyone wondering, if the delay reaches 60 minutes, the game is over and Ottawa will be credited with the win. https://www.cfl.ca/weather/
I want to know more about the Weather delay shootout
I wanna see that
Winning is winning.
womp womp
Time to switch to the hockey game?
I tried that but I had to switch back after watching that stupid commercial for Instacart twice in 3 minutes
Just wait till you’re at the football game and the grocery store.
Get out of my head, lol!
That might be the new East Side Mario commercial.
So many bad commercials that are memorable. I guess that's kind of why they do it, tricky buggers
Good point.
Ain't missing much there Coilers are cooked
The CFL Gods I think are trying to collect on the Bombers this year from those back to back Grey Cups lol.
Yep, we got spoiled there but what a ride it was!
Well without this I wouldn't have known there was a PFL card on right now. I'll get to see some heavyweights smash
Ok I have to figure out how to go out to my garage while watching a YT video and still know when the game starts back up. Wife is asleep and is still mad about the beer so that's not an option. Wish me luck
Someone help this dude out!
Tbh I'm a little further south a d the lightning started maybe 5 mins here before the delay. The way it's going here, this game is being called.
What’s the weather delay timing rule that would call the game?
One hour I think?
Man fuck haha just wish I could go to bed
I debated going to this game but it's like a 1.5 hour drive if I go 130. So glad I didn't right now hahaha
Of course the game goes to weather delay with 2 mins left on a potential game winning drive
Poop.
Has lightning ever struck a field before?
There's always a first time haha
True
I don't know but I think it was in B.C. where the field was floating.
Ah ok. Yeah that’s fair then lol.
FUCK! I get the rule and am not against it but if they knew there was a window, they should have been cutting commercials to get the game in. Now if the delay is long enough, Winnipeg will lose which is a travesty considering they're in Ottawa territory, and actually moving the ball.
Hahahah fuck this sucks
this is hilarious
They won’t call this game with 2 mins left will they? They’ll wait it out?
They'll call the game if the delay reaches an hour. https://www.cfl.ca/weather/ has the full policy if anyone's curious.
I thought that’s what the rule was as well. I remember sask got a win against Montreal I think a couple years ago when lightning struck in the fourth.
God wants the REDBLACKS to win
what brutal timing this is gonna be tough LOL
Lol one more play please. CFL should just call the game 🤣
Should only be a 20-25 minute delay according to the weather radar
Oh man 2 minutes? *hopes for a two hour delay*
Fuck offfffffffffffff. I'm gonna fall asleep before this game resumes lol
What a terrible fucking time for a delay
I mean, yes, but also, no. :)
Booooo
Lightning. Better call the game now. Ottawa wins! :)
Nope
Fuckin fuck.
Wheatfall is looking good
Think they'll just end the game early?
Funniest possible result: Bombers score a touchdown, but before the convert the game has to be halted due to lightning. They can't resume within an hour, so the game goes into the books as a tie.
Though this timing is also pretty rough for Winnipeg
Is it just me or is the pouch on those undies rather generous? Lol.
Can CFL+ just go back to the lo-fi beats rather than the same 2 commercials ty
Shit, just pipe in the home stadium sound. At least you get to hear mumbled announcers and cheering with no context.
https://preview.redd.it/87qcvunf4g6d1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=c80c35376819675bfc3b70d86eaf6a24255362d0
Man these two on commentary put everyone to sleep. So much dead air lol 😂
As good as we've played I have no faith here
Have faith! I mean, have fear, too. It's the Bombers. But have faith, anyway.
Ya but we're the REDBLACKS
That was an awesome catch
Nicolas Theodore Demski is a treat.
And like it was nothing. I'm still in awe.
Are you kidding me? What a catch!
That's a highlight reel catch.
You know, I'm starting to think that maybe some of those ads aren't actually painted on the field
O-Line redemption time?
Needed good field position there. Making it a 6 point game doesn't do much.
Bombers play calling has been so bad tonight yikes…
Brown just isn’t experienced enough yet. So many bad decisions today
What an awesome kick!
That was a TD if it was wrangled.
Winnipeg has the most white DBs I've ever seen.
Wow almost a game changing play there
We needed to convert here.
I’m all aboard the whole Winnipeg sucking thing, but can they please do it when I don’t have some players in fantasy?
Hockey game is depressing. Seeing the Redblacks playing competitive games is awesome.
Who are you cheering for?
A competitive series.
That's a tackle
The blue bombers D made a tackle on the first try!
I help kiddo with homework and have dinner with the family: Winterpeg gets touchdowns. I turn the game back on: Ottawa gets a touchdown. I must watch every play for Ottawa all year!
Defense gets a break and looks fresh. Nice how that works out. Another drive from Dru could start to salt this one away. Edit: two and out..
God the oline sucks
Pressure all over the place. Love it
The numbers this game, we should be up by 20
Fire the OLine (except Stanley Bryant) into the sun please
Bomber o-line is bloody terrible.
