do or die

Swirling wind and rain to start..... Kyle Knox sighting: takes penalty on opening kickoff...... Hurl still looks pretty slow on blitz.... Bombers driving....Nichols throws perfect TD to Adams.... ....call back because of ....you guessed it....the ole hands to face call. Blue settles for Medlock booting it through, Bombers 3-0. Powell running with authority for RedBlacks.... Walker defending a couple of passes...... Bombers running some hurryup, on 2nd down plays.... Nice catch by Adams....Harris takes screen for 15.... ...but Nichols sacked.....on comes Medlock....6-1 Bombers Blue O moving the ball pretty well....but need some finish... Nichols scrambles right-then left....and hits Adams deep.... Bombers winning the field position and TOP, anyways... RB Powell is good.....but some defensive tackling....bad... Not getting pressure on Lindley, yet...he gets ball out on time.. Okpaulugo must of heard me....puts smack on QB... Nichols long pass to Denmark, Dressler runs sweep for more... But Nichols and Dressler.... not much chemistry further down the field..... Medlock hits 3rd FG.....Bombers pulling away. 9-2 Moe Leggett all over the place again..... Jeffcoat strips Powell of ball....also recovers it on RB 35 Nichols misfires downfield with Dress again.... ...but swing pass to Westy....gets big 2nd down gain... Harris up the gut, finds huge hole, cuts back and rumbles into end zone. Lindley starting to look nervous, with some pretty erratic throwing. Obvious PI on Redblack DB. Obvious to everybody, except officials... MOS challenges and gets it , but 2nd down pass to Flanders short of marker Lindley getting less mustard on the short passes, now..... Some of these roughing the QB are pretty chintzy... Dressler out of the game (again) McDuffie treating some Medlock punts.....like hemlock... Tough conditions out there: cold, windy, and wet.... Bomber O handling it all, pretty well..... Mahar punting extremely well for Ottawa Only handful of diehards sitting in end zones, at this point... Blue running receiver sweeps effectively, tonight... Lankford runs another one for good gain..... Flanders takes swing pass, breaks 3 tackles......TD With this weather and Lindley....22-2 looks pretty safe. Ottawa now abandoning run game.....not to their advantage... Andrew Harris....another productive game.....film at 11. Bomber O eating up yards and clock..... ....until Nichols has ball slip out of hand, throwing.... RB's recover......good run by Powell.....to Blue 20. Lindley then simply drops ball.....Bomber recover... Nichols rears back and bombs it right into Adams's hands...... .....who busts down the middle of field to finish 75 yd TD pass Back breaker. 29-3. Goodnite Ottawa. Lindley just chucking and praying, now...... Some nice plays from Alexander, back there..... HSZ (Hall's soft zone) puts in an appearance.... .....enabling Lindley to complete 4 straight passes..... Powell runs in a consolation TD, for Redblacks.... Bombers could still use a big run stuffing LB. Leggett smothers 2 point convert try..... Redblacks do recover nice short KO, off of Leggett... But Moe knows football. And picks off 50/50 deep ball... Strange looking character ambles in, behind center.... Rubbing my eyes.....it is Dom Davis! Dom does the bomb to Adams, who makes nice catch.... ...and must have around 200 yards receiving, tonight.. Dom hits Harris with perfect pass across middle...but dropped. Another win....at home.....9-3 - this winning stuff getting pretty boring... Aw...glug....,glug....,glug...........................glug.

Alexander and Walker were pretty solid tonight.....need their development to continue.

if we have two......one may be open more often....

Unless, you are actually redundant......

If Davis is truly the number 2........past time he got some reps

First reaction.....what the hell was that call? Second.....bad teams simply manage to find ways to lose.

You simply take what you can get......whatever form it takes. We are better without those two.

....their sense of direction is pretty erratic, as wall...

"Lutz" - Rod Black

Well, no Roc and K. Knox is a start, anyways...........

"Only Here to Talk Football." - Lyle E. Style

"The Wind Beneath My Ears." - Jason Maas

"How to Lose Games and Influence People." - Jeff Reinebold

There is no try.......just do.

Can't speak for others......but in my case.....it involved a blinding light, and a voice from above.

"The Art of the Deal" Jim Baker "Truth or Consequences" Kavis Reed

Kavis Reed is a joke.

"And now for something, we hope you really like."

Yes, but I don't really mean to drink all that gin......yet I still get tipsy anyways....

Lets try this another way.......Thorpe is a better fit (and an additional safety valve) for this O.

Not many guys on any D.....averaged 10-12 turnovers per year (fumble recovery, blocked kicks, INTs) like that Rod Hill fella.......

Next up: Drunken fans

Moe is literally...the defensive equivalent of the Swiss Army Knife.....

OF COURSE IT IS OK.

Just made it for kickoff......something about the Manitoba Moose.... Santos Knox picks off Glenn's first pass...... Medlock misses 48 yd FG attempt... Carter with bad decision to run it out of end zone.... Good Fogg punt return has Blue set up deep.... Nichols still telegraphing some throws...... ...but then looks off, and hits Denmark in middle of end zone... DE Jeffcoat back to early season form.... Glenn finds wide open Cartier, who completes 85 yd pass and run TD.... Better push inside on DL.....Glenn sacked couple of times, already... Fogg back to field punt, on one side....while Leggett suddenly appears on the other... Rider punt coverage pulled to wrong side....Moe beats one man.... .....and is off to the races 95 yds for punt return TD. Some MOS trickery. Medlock bombs punt over Carter's head for 85 yd single..... Glenn has Roosevelt open past Heath, up the middle...... ...Walker pinballs right off of the receiver.....who takes it the distance..... The long pass plays given up on D.....continues. 15-13 Bombers. Crapinga tries surprise short kickoff.....but Blue recover.. Nichols putting mustard on the passes, today..... Matt then throws to corner of end zone...... Nothing wrong in the state of Denmark. Denny has his 2nd TD. Glenn completes 5 passes.....the last to Bagg, down to the 1. Lafrance punches it in.......22-20 Bombers In last minute....Adams falls down, untouched in end zone..... .....and draws phantom "accidental" penalty...... No idea why Jones does not challenge that one. 29-20 Bombers at the end of a wacky first half.... A. Harris not a factor, at all.....so far... Bomber D on pace to give up over 500 yds passing..... Medlock pounds long kickoff single...... Rider ST unit, not having a good day.... Mr. Leggett outfights Holley for 50/50 ball...... ....then breaks Roosevelt's tackle.....and takes it all the way..... 38-20......comfortable lead....but with our D, one never knows.... Glenn goes down......and comes up holding his throwing hand... In goes Bridge.....who promptly hits a......you guessed it.... ......yet another wide open receiver (Holley) for 6. Bridge runs in 2 pt convert......38-28.....not cooled out, just yet... JFG and Harris get first downs, into Rider territory.... Bombers hurry out of the huddle.....and Nichols puts it up... ....to a wide open (repetitive, I know) Lankford in the end zone.... Bridge looking a bit less of a comer, at this point.... Mike Miller does not take no for answer on special teams.... Bombers start to eat up clock , with Harris..... Flanders catch/run to the 3....negated by penalty. Medlock makes it 48-28. Comfortable, at this point.... Nichols scrambles.....no slide....and keeps going for 40.... ...until ball is punched out of his hands, for the turnover.... However, Randle picks off Bridge in next series..... Harris pounds away, as the Blue kill the clock. Nichols 3 TD/0 picks.....Blue special teams very good.... Blown coverages and 250 yds in YAC.....not what you want on D. But Bombers now 8-3. Riders pushed back to pretender status.... Another huge win, at IGF... Another huge gin for DOD.....
