Odds and Sods - Game 15 Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Lions


do or die

Recommended Posts

BC fumbles KO.....Bombers proceed to, uh...

...kick a FG.

J. Adams looses 50/50 ball to Hawkins....

...who runs 80 yds...to set up short BC TD pass...

Bomber run game no-existent...

Nichols looking shaky in 1st half again....

27 yds of O in first quarter.....

BC drives 75 yds for another TD..with ease....

Arcenaux doing whatever he wants against Blue secondary...

....especially Demond Washington....

...who had an totally embarrassing half of football, all round...

Jennings looked like a HOF quarterback....

..completing 15 of first 16 throws.....with all kinds of time

Bomber D essentially spent first half in..... Also Ran Mode.

23-9 BC at the half....they have 300 yds passing...

Intermission: DOD dials up the gin..

2nd half: Hall dials up the pressure....

Jennings looks more like rookie quarterback

Bombers get punt block from Sherman - TD for Wild.

23-16....Adams gets pick and long return...

Castillo hits 4th FG... in 4 attempts.....25-19 BC

Bomber O cannot stretch the field....

...or run up the gut on 2nd and 2 or 3 or 4......

6 min left: Blue throw 2.7 yd pass on 2nd and 4

Brohm stuffed on 3rd and over a yard sneak.

BC gets clinching 60 yd pass play...

...but Bombers saved by the call ( holding)

4 min left...Blue run SECOND fake punt on 3rd and 10

...and get first down on direct snap to Briggs...

Special teams in playoff mode, anyways.....

3rd down gamble from BC 16.....

 Stoudermire "runs into" two BC defenders...

..freeing up Denmark for TD pass from Nichols

Only TD of game from Bomber O...but huge

Castillo hits his 2nd convert - tie game 26-26

Nice KO by Castillo puts Lions in a hole.....

Bombers get ball back at the 46, with minute and half left..

Big second effort run by Marshall... gets them into range

Castillo comes in for 40 yd game winning attempt....

Hits it! But MOS had called the time out!..requiring yet more gin

2nd attempt - the Captain from Castillo is true....

Improbable win, with the rook kicker going 5 for 5.

Bombers outscore BC 20-3 in half...for rare comeback..

Shoe on other foot...Lions missed two converts...

Turnovers and Special teams get this done...

Ugly wins are better than moral victories...

Empty bottles are better than full ones....

i was yelling at the tv to snap the ball, i thought they were close to being called for a time count , he did the right thing by calling the timeout

i see goossen played the whole 2nd half, did anyone see what happened

Picard had an upper body injury. Goossen is ready to start. Didn't miss a beat with him in there. His snaps didn't float either like Picard's.

One blocked kick

One partial blocked kick

5-5 on FG

2-2 on converts

Great KO's

Some good returns

 

The kind of special teams that we had all envisioned, when MOS came aboard.  

 

Picard pulled (finally) and signs of emotion and passion on the sidelines, tonight.  Interesting to see if this was a "turn the corner game" for O'Shea, moving forward

Picard wasn't pulled. Upper body injury.

Ok...but same result....a positive.   Picard has been an expensive bust.

Finally seeing the Ritchie Hall defence but unfortunately it's been just here and there.  It seems like it only comes out in the 2nd half.   

 

But still a hell of a lot better than our offence.   The defence plays with passion but the offence seems to be depressed.  It's too bad cause I think we're not too far from being a decent team.

More like zero points! I refuse to credit a single and a safety to the Lions O. ;)

Great second half entertainment-wise. I was just texting my buddy (who is a lions fan), that I was committed to watching this whole thing come off the rails - and then the blocked punt and Wild's TD return happened.

I could also swear I saw a shot of Osh yelling something angrily on the sideline - looked good on him actually. He should yell his way to three more wins.

Actually - I have to disagree a bit with you on that one g-bill. We did miss a beat - a big beat - as in Picards' standard roughing call he always gets (like in first half), a sure hold he would have done on Denmark's TD, and I'm sure he'd have had a few 'blown' assignments where Nichols would have been blown up. Not saying I don't mind missing those beats though ;)

 

Overall - what a second half. Tracker opined in the chat if the bombers had ever come back before to win a game (this year) well we know now. I wrote the team off in the first half but glad I stuck with it in the second half. Oh - Castillo for Mayor - did extremely well and didn't seem to mind the long converts at all (only had to kick two of them though but was money both times)
