do or die

The Bomber one looked like "Argo SWAT Team"

His scouting report looks bad. Why do we keep bringing in these athletic guys who have issues with accuracy and reading defenses? We're looking for the next Brian Brohm. Well, he did say athletic....... Perhaps this guy could be the next Boltus...

As least the team will look real good, in one way, this weekend

What! We needed a Brohm lookalike?

No, no....you bring in a very limited number of players for a look....... because there are very few variables to consider, when evaluating talent.....

Tajh simply couldn't handle the pressure of our playoff run.......

Well, our O, does lead the league in excuses.....and garbage time....

Changed my mind about Marcel......just can't rock the boat, in the middle of a playoff run...... Glug....glug...glug.....

Nichols said that Ottawa came out in more zone, instead of their mostly man D. Oh the humanity! Man the Lifeboats! Bottom line.....how many of "those" first halfs....have we seen from this offense. The joke (Marcel) is clearly on us

Boyd saw Marcel pull out the Ech a Sketch......

Hopefully we will do better than the last time, we surrounded MOS with "experience" - Etch and Marcel. Talk about blowing it, in a double barreled manner.......

Well, Nate has to suck up to Rider fans......at this stage of his posting life....he has nowhere else to go.....

Now, now....according to Nichols, the Red Blacks started the game with a different look on D......this fully explains why we could not score a single point, in a entire half....in the CFL......in a must game. Having the opposition D coming out with more than one look, is patently unfair......no wonder we have had so many crappy first halfs. Life in pro football....is hard.

I dunno....those "YAC" plays for Denmark are brilliant. It will work. One of these years.....

We retained Marcel, for this year. Big mistake. We didn't dump him early in this season. Despite the total futility, we didn't dump him mid-season, deciding to ride out the year with him. How many clues did the our brain trust really need, to make an essential move, to give us some sort of chance? Hope that the folks who kept talking to me about stability, making panic moves, not being able to find an OC, after season start, etc, etc....are good and happy now.

D didn't start strong....

We have a number of problems on O, including dressing goofy rosters and simply terrible play calling,,,,

0-9 against teams with winning records Can't play anywhere near 60 minutes in a game Never prepared or ready to start strong, out of the gate Can't win 2 games in a row, no matter who the opposition is Leads the league, by a wide margin, in garbage time minutes... This does not look even remotely like a playoff team. More excuses forthcoming....because we have an endless supply of those.....

Raining...slick field... ST continues its big play mode.... Wild forces fumble....Castillo recovers own KO But deep handoff on 3 and 1...Blue stuffed on said wet field Just one more moronic call on O... RB's say thank you.... ...and drive 95 yds for TD on their first possession.... Burris having easy pitch and catch session, for first half... Nichols overthrowing....happy feet....looks bad... One first down on O, in opening quarter.... Ottawa O - quick tempo, spreading field, quick passing... Bomber O - slow tempo, all passing in front of DB's Wild playing well....but only takes part of the snaps... Marshall only guy doing anything on O..... But Bombers seem to lose track of him, for long stretches... While D. Scott accomplishes nothing.... except a fumble.... Tony Burnett had a forced fumble and a sack....as part of rotation.... the FB lining up as WR....very tricky, no? No. Bombers D gave up ton of yds...but good in red-zone... Hurl not that quick in pursuit..... Too many missed tackles after the catch, overall..... Bucknor still the opposition's go-to guy.... Blue Offense had all those popguns snapping.... ..ZERO points..3 first downs and 34 passing yds in 1st half.... 16-0 Red Blacks at the half...with 21 minutes TOP! Bombers come out with 65 yd TD drive.... ...as they discover that when Marshall is involved.... ...Nichols can run play action and half rolls..... ...and complete some passes... Too bad 3 of them went to the Red Blacks..... ..including 2 to (sigh) Jovon Johnson.... Overall, pass pro not bad.... Goossen looking pretty good... Bomber D runs out of gas in last 3 minutes... Ottawa gets long TD drive to go up 27-9 Bombers get a face saving drive for late TD... Then Ottawa gets cute and turns it over on downs.... Nichols hits Denmark for TD....with 30 seconds left ...some more lipstick for this pig..... Down 27-24...short kick miracle? ...it goes 10 yds...RB's recover...no rabbit in hat..... Pretty good 60 minutes from special teams, tonight... ..too bad D and O can't do the same.... ..as yet another disastrous 1st half...puts Blue behind 8-ball ....and puts playoff spot in dire jeopardy... ...and puts my liver at risk as well....

Lots of lipstick at the end of that game.......

Another classic first half on O......shutout yet again

Schooled by Jovon.......how embarrassing

So is Hurl

15 years? No maybe 10 though, I'd have a hard time rating any defence behind the crap that Jim Daley put us through. 2005 Bombers D still takes the cake. We actually had a decent O that year with Glenn, Roberts and Milt. 2004 and 2005 Bombers. How bad was it? They had a game where Nealon Greene threw for 300 yards........in a half.

The one he learned from Dave Donaldson......
