GA Russell Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 It's going to take me a while to catch up, but let's get started. 2024 Grey Cup Toronto 41....Winnipeg 24 The Bombers led 10-9 at the half. The Argos led 17-13 after three. It was not until the fourth quarter that the Argos blew it open with 24 points (which Rod Smith said tied a Grey Cup record). Collaros cut his throwing hand in the second half. He could see the inside. With Streveler injured, the Bombers' back-up was a young guy I had never heard of named Terry Wilson. Collaros returned to the game, but was not particularly effective after the injury. Arbuckle had a good game with few mistakes. He was named MVP. The Bombers scored a touchdown with a two-point convert with 0:53 left. Before that, it was Argos 41....Bombers 16. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/111th-grey-cup-recap-toronto-41-winnipeg-24/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/cfl-plays-of-the-week-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/boatmen-reign-supreme-argos-win-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/steinberg-4-unsung-heroes-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/landry-3-moments-that-turned-the-tide-for-the-argos/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/steinberg-top-3-defensive-players-in-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/oleary-argos-win-bonds-arbuckle-dinwiddie/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/landry-argos-defence-a-big-crashing-double-blue-wave/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/mmqb-everything-to-gain/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/5-stats-that-defined-torontos-win-over-winnipeg-in-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/3-stats-that-defined-the-first-half-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/halftime-at-the-111th-grey-cup-steinbergs-qb-comparison/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/storybook-ending-nick-arbuckle-named-mvp-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/dejon-brissett-wins-111th-grey-cups-most-valuable-canadian/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
