Posted July 8, 20169 yr comment_207025 Better Bomber D early.... Blue line up for FG, but holder (Dressler) wanders off field ....penalty makes it 51 instead of 46...which of course, Medlock misses.... ..and naturally, Banks runs it back 121 yds for the TD.. Blue O dinking and dunking...but moving the chains... When not missing blocks, or taking penalties.. ....well enough for better TOP and some field goals.... Harris still effective in passing game....and runs real hard.... ....he has to touch the ball 20+ per game... Red zone O, still not a Bomber speciality....... Rough half for Goossen at C... Moe Leggett jumps in front of hook pattern.......easy 40 yd TD... Ensuing kickoff takes a ole Blue Bomber Bounce....with a Macho recover Willy still having problems hooking up with Smith ....until he sticks a no-look right in Smith's arm crook...for short TD Bombers up 22-10 at the half After shutting down the Hamilton O...entire first half McDuffie fumbles 2nd half kickoff..... ....and TD pass to Fantuz, in behind Hawkins ...follows..... Then Owens grabs TD pass behind Posey.. with like 4 guys offside..... ...replay the down? nah.....now 25-24 Blue Ian Wild forced 2 fumbles Leggett had 2 picks and a sack.... Posey had a pick and fumble recovery.... ...but also some real problems in coverage..... Bombers drive the ball down.... Adams makes nice catch on under thrown bomb... Waggoner had big game on special teams.... Jace Davis at R...still looking pretty good... Smith/Dressler finally showing signs of life ....but Willy then fumbles it deep in Ham red zone...... Blue get a drive.....Medlock makes it 28-24 Ticats get it back, drive inside Bomber territory... But Hubbard crunches Masoli and recovers the fumble.... Plenty of warts....but a huge win. Crucial 2 points. Bomber O moved the ball, and ate up TOP.... ...with a near world record of dinks and dumps.... ...but cashing in with TDs.....is still a struggle..... No downfield pass game yet, though... Better play from Blue D front 7..... ....a few more blitzes and stunts...... Bombers finally generated some turnovers and sacks ..but still pretty soft coverage in the back Overall though....Blue more intense and physical, this week. Lacking in some style points.....but in for the win ...and into the gin.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207037 Nice to get the win. There were 2-3 times where I thought Willy would crumble... and he didn't. I'd move him up from shellshocked to lightly stunned. Wonder what would have happened if this team would have just left Steve Morley at Centre... OL still a work in progress but has flashes Osh still needs work, but was good to see emotion at the end of the game - leave Lapo in the booth Richie Hall must have been into the gin as well - D could really be something if Harris and Fogg stop playing so deep - we want Adams
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207081 feels good man. Team could have finished a lot of little things better. If they had it would have been a 50+ whooping. I was stuck driving the whole game didnt get to watch any plays yet but listening to bob is great any way. The guy he was working with? not so much. cjob needs to start springing to send doug brown on the road >.>

July 8, 20169 yr comment_207086 "Speaking of the offensive line, Patrick Neufeld appeared to take three swings at Hamilton defensive back Emanuel Davis at the end of the game with the Bombers in victory formation. Though I didn’t see what Davis did — the scrum was chaotic, to say the least — it’s clear he did or said something to Drew Willy that Neufeld didn’t care for. That’s the type of attitude I want to see from my starting right tackle — protecting the franchise quarterback before, during, and after the play." - John Hodge Good one Paddy!

That is the O that will keep Willy alive and functioning so everyone best embrace it.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207090 Offside much? This is the no call on Ham., but call on us for offside...resulting in a TD BS

And a couple guys on the PR. Off sides if day score we tak it on to the kick off. If they dont, another bomber penalty. Refs this season have been really awful. But its early and what not ill give em some time. What i really dont like is the ticky tacky PI calls. They reviewed it both ways. But for my money you gotta let defenders defend. You cant PI every hand fight. It never gets called on O either.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207116 on the topic of calls that may not be correct -and I haven't gone back to watch this again- early in the game, the fumble recovered by (I believe) Wild, should that not have been illegal participation? I thought he went out of bounds and came back in to recover it

I know they changed it at one point to specify you could come back in if pushed out, but not if you went out on your own. I don't follow all the rule changes closely, so it's possible it was changed again
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207128 They talked about it and by the rules he was eligible to return to the play because he made contact/ first contact with the ball carrier plus he was the one who caused the fumble. Surprised me too
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207129 He went out in an attempt to make a play on the ball carrier, therefore he was allowed back in. That was how they ruled it.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207131 I was there live and expecting us to get our ass kicked.. Don't care how we did it, it was great to see us get a win.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207137 Here's a question. Shologan. Stuffed gable hard. Big hit. Refs ruled it am incomplete pass tho. Why was it an incomplete pass. Gable had control of the ball... just got nailed when he turned around causing a fumble. Don't like that rule at all. Think that should have been a fumble

July 8, 20169 yr comment_207139 I only saw that play on replay very quickly. Never saw the play live. I thought it was a fumble.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207145 thanks for the clarification. I may have missed them talking about it, I got home an hour into the game was was skipping time between plays and all of half time, got caught up to the live feed by the 4th quarter.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207158 Everyone is tired after holding their breath for the last 5 minutes of the game. BTW- thanks DOD, love the odds and sods posts. Makes me reach for my Crown & water while you enjoy your gin.

July 8, 20169 yr comment_207172 RE: Shologan's hit on Gable. the contact was immediately upon the catch - gable was still turned slightly, there wasnt enough time to establish possession. If Shologan hits him a second or 2 later it would have given him a chance to straight out with the ball and take a step. Still loved the hit tho

They're a 24 hour sports station and summer is their obvious weakness. Don't have primary access to the bomber coach by virtue of contractual obligations to CJOB. CJOB only pays heed to bombers for 3 hours of game, mild pre-game and post game, otherwise they barely exist. TSN1290 could easily absorb bombers 18 games from July thru November. Right now they're over-analyzing every expression and word Mike O'Shea emits - and that's only if Kevin Chevyldayoff doesn't blow his nose and cause a firestorm of analysis. Only problem is that Bob Irving is heading to 70 - and CJOB doesn't sell enough bomber ads to warrant a full-time road color analyst. The last time 1290 had the bombers they had some really horrid play by play guys (I think Robb Glazier was one). One move I'd like to see is a crew of Doug Brown doing play by play, Walby on color and Westwood & Bauming on the sidelines. But I suspect Darrin Bauming thinks he's the natural replacement when Irving calls it a day - that's why he's sticking around. Another guy they could fetch is Derek Taylor from TSN TV. He used to do Bisons ball in CIS and wasn't bad.
July 8, 20169 yr comment_207182 I wanna know who provided the horseshoes and why didn't they provide them the last 2 weeks? We played well bu we got a lot of breaks this game. For once it seemed like things went our way. Smith's catch, M Harris catching our kickoff, tip drill int when Hammy was driving. Nice to see and I get that you don't win games solely on luck, it just really seemed to be there last night.
