do or die

It is way too hard to replace him mid-season.....better to stay the course..... BAH

Whole lotta empty seats.... Stoudermire gets a pick.....which is called back on a PI ...but on same series....gets a legal INT on deflection.... Cornish finding gaping holes to run through... Stamps misdirection/play action calls ...thing of beauty... Nice 40 yd throw and catch TD...Nichols to Adams.... Nichols throwing ball well in 1st half...... ....finding Moore regularly... Both teams moving ball pretty well in opening half BLM getting too much time to throw..... 14-14 at the half..... Adjustment time...... Bombers D ramp up the hitting, as game goes on..... Big sticks by Bass, Westerman, Leggett, Adams and Washington..... Cornish stuffed throughout 2nd half.....for negative yds.... And the Bomber O? Uh.....18 yds offense in 3rd Q...... 0 (yes, zero) points in first 28 minutes.... of 2nd half.... Stamps dial up pass rush...start crunching pocket on Nichols.... ...with no play calls to counter it....par usual.... Painful penalties....on KRs and procedure calls on O..... Khalil Bass is as good a D player as anyone in this league...... Strong game from Demond Washington.... Westerman still brings the pass rush..... Some nice punts by Hajrullahu..... Huge game for Stamps from Marquay McDaniel Stamps start to pull away..... ...get a forced out catch ruling, on 2nd down ...on a rule that didn't exist... in the last home game ...and proceed to finish off 80 yd drive with TD.....21-14 Calgary... The Invisible Man....otherwise known as Clarence Denmark... ....finally runs deep downfield for a pass..... ...and gets called for offensive PI..... Eric Rodgers makes circus catch, in double coverage... ....or not. 25-14 Calgary....2 minutes to go.... Stoudermire returns punt for 40 yds..... Kohlert wide open for TD pass..... Marshall slam in 2 point convert......now 25-22 Blue D gets the 2 and out......Bombers get ball on own 50.... Tthird and less than a yard, Nichols gets first down..... ...but Bombers called for illegal formation....NO END... ...forcing 50 yd tying FG attempt into the wind..... Hajrullahu pushes it wide right....... Stamps inch out of town with the win...... Bombers inch closer to irrelevance..... Lots of controversy about that formation call..... But then again..Blue would of probably found some way to lose the OT.... Because that is what they do...... I always find some way to drink the gin.... ...for much the same reason..

Losing can actually become an art form......we are pretty well there......

Take them one at a time.......this game is a must for standings and fan interest....

Like Pavlov's dog......when I unscrew a gin, can visualize Blue Bombers...... ....or, more likely, the other way round...

see....next....post

Pompous windbagging is a TSN staple, in general....

Crompton didn't do that much, against us.....and TSN pumped his tires all day

We didn't score an offensive TD, in the Montreal win....

Have been giving Marcel a real hard time, for a long time, now. So, to balance the ledger....I want to say something positive about his schemes and gameplanning..... I really want to.........

Tom Burgess......

1967? Jeez, c'mon. That '68 team with its 3-13 record was the best team ever. As Blue Bomber Head Coach at the time Joe Zaleski used to say."We're optimistic." Blinding light at the end of that particular tunnel.....

Bombers are better than their record Riders are better than their record 1967 Bombers were better than their record Whatever......meaningless cant....

After perusing the forums.....think it must be autumn, in Bomberland.....as both the leaves and excuses begin to fall......

How do we really know that film wasn't House of Cards? Or an episode from the Carry On series?

A bye week to get ready for Calgary.Opener looked good though. We need an off season of prep time per game. Preparation, consistent execution, and making required adjustments.....have not been Bomber specialties for ions......

MOS really needs to think about what he just said.......... If the Blue is actually better than the record...then what is holding them back? Coaching?

Lets not kid ourselves.....Drew Willy makes this O......passible. That is it. We have a number of endemic and ongoing problems with this Marcel O. Willy....by his ability to find the open guy, and willingness to stand in the pocket long enough to find them (and getting a pounding) can mitigate some of those problems....but only to a certain point. ...until he gets hurt again....

Also, QB has to take his eyes away from the LOS.....slows down reading progressions The operative word here (and in this O, for that matter) is.........slow.

To say nothing of the sacks, turnovers, and broken bodies of Bomber QB's littering the field......

Missed out on some prime gardening opportunity......

Hall is certainly a upgrade. Huge mistake passing up the opportunity to upgrade OC when we canned Etch..... and we get to keep paying for it, the rest of this season.... Like some of the coach hire examples given above, the club simply took the easy way out, as opposed to striving for something, say excellence...... Kind of the overarching story of this team

Can Ian play OL or receiver?

At least a BT return would boost Brylcreem, Slurpee, and napkin sales.....
