Hardrick, then Demski go down...and are on the sidelines... Petermann catches a couple of balls..... RB's come with blitz....but textbook pickup by Blue OL and R.... ...giving Matt all day to loft a TD... to a wide open Harris, back of end zone.. 14-1. Bombers starting to roll.... Jefferson flies into backfield, drills Jennings, forces fumble...RB's recover.... Bomber D looking like they have all the answers, so far.... Nichols zips one up the middle to Lawler....who jets away from 3 defenders.... .....to announce his presence, with 55 yd TD. 21-1 Bombers. This game has turned around in 4 minutes...starting to look like a rout.... K. Wilson and Sayles take turns blowing into Ottawa backfield.... Jeffcoat continues to harass Jennings...who is looking nervous in the service..... Couple more nice runs by Crockett....this guy is an upgrade for RedBlacks...

Bomber O giving opposing DC's plenty to consider, on the film.... Harris up the gut...carrying RB defenders for 15... Medlock hits 33 yd FG. 31-1 Bombers. Not many points.....but Bomber O ripping off big chunks of clock, with this lead.... My neighbor whips out his cell phone and informs me....Nichols 17 straight completions.. ....a new Blue Bomber record.... Meanwhile, Jennings departs with 45 yards passing..... Whitehead catches #18 for 16 yards.... Petermann catches #19. Jefferson flushes QB out of the pocket....Jeffcoat with the sack.... ....these two really making beautiful music, tonight... Record announced to crowd....Nichols gets the standing O... Backup QB pitches Hail Mary into double coverage...and is picked off. Augustine comes in and pounds out the clock. Bombers completely dominating line of scrimmage, both ways 31-1. 5-0. Best season start since 1960. Finally, team performance and gin consumption, on par.

HH to the refs for having the balls to call no TD while Streveler was lying on the goal line.

oh man this was such a beauty block by Petermann. I love the moment where the redblack blitzer realizes he's been made and so he just kind of decides to have a jumping contest with Petermann.

Nichols best QB in the league at this point of the season

Winston Rose changed the course of history with that pick 6 early in the game. (Ah, that may be an exaggeration)

Nichols is one of the greatest Bomber QBs of all time

How do you get Bighill on the field? WTF? Thomas Miles Mom would start Biggie over him.

Matt Nichols very quietly completed 19 passes in a row last night. 14 TD against 1 INT. His completion percentage ranks him 2nd all-time on the Bombers behind Dunigan. I don't care about the yards, I care about the results, and it's all good. The off-season work he put in is clearly showing.

Other random thoughts in no particular order... - I was mildly nervous about the game tonight prior to it starting. Jennings historically has performed well against the Bombers. That said Ottawa has no one comparable to a Burnham or Arceneaux. Considering they're a team the focuses on the short/intermediate passing game, I'm not sure the scheme fit is a good one for him. - The drive before the first half ended was legitimately the best single drive I've seen the Bombers put together in years. Absolutely text book marching 90+ yards with 3 minutes to go to get a TD and leave no time remaining. - Petermann is a tank. I know people have said Woli is a Jason Clermont clone. Personally I think Petermann is, and that's nothing against Woli whatsoever. - Very happy with the depth we have both at import and non-import receiver. - I love Geoff Grey. Jefferson as well. - What's Ottawa's cap situation like? Who exactly are they paying big bucks to? I just can't see why, regardless of who they may be paying, that you let both Harris and Ellingson walk... - Not sure what he did in the off season, but Medlock is pure gold in punting and kickoffs this year. - Lawler is a baller. - The "fake" field goal that resulted in a procedure penalty against Ottawa was amusing... -...As was just about anything they attempted all night. - One of these days, Streveler is going to bounce one off tackle 70 yards for a TD. No kiddin'... - Our D-line as a whole, even the backups like Roh and Thomas...love them. - Lots of 8's and 9's in the rum hut tonight. - I'm a little drunk - And once again, and I'll keep saying it until something changes, no one scares me this year. - HOW BOUT THAT SMOKE?!

"You're cut, son."

Could it be that this team is actually good? My mind says stop, but my heart and my hips cry proceed!

Speaking of the tribute to Randle, I thought the one to Ian Wild was nice too but am a bit surprised that there wasn’t one for Fogg. Maybe just not enough time to do two in a game? Either way, what an incredible gesture. The Bombers really are the class of the league in pretty much every way right now.

"Right down main street once more... But it's wide." Classic Black.

League needs to get serious on the after the whistle stuff when guys are tied up or on the turf. Looks like we lost Demski and Whitehead both to very late hits on very vulnerable players already engaged/on the turf. No flag on either, see if anything comes supplemental. Both are guys who are very marketable in terms of butts in seats and TV. There's enough probability of guys getting injured in legal physical play, the league needs to get rid of the stuff that is not during play.

I personally LOVE that the flags are selling out so fast. Y'know, demand and all.... I'm trying to figure out where on my west central AB house I'm gonna hang my EastMan flag to best say "**** You" to the Riders and Stamps fans in my neighbourhood...

It was great to see Nichols run right up to Peterman right after the TD and thank him for the block. Very classy move and it shows these guys have each others back.

“It’s guys making tough catches, good blocking up front when I’m not throwing all the time under duress… so things like that, any individual thing, is a full offensive stat to me,” said Nichols of the record. - Ed Tait Nichols completed 19 consecutive passes in the victory to eclipse the Bomber record of 16 set in 1981 by Dieter Brock. He was in machine mode. He just made Trevor Harris look over his shoulder. And Matt’s right. The O-Line did its job once again. Yes, those new guys. Couture, Gray, Speller, And Desjarlais. Bryant and Hardrick look to be all-stars already. And they’ll only get better. By the way, that streak carries over into next week’s game in Hamilton.

I am hopeful that tonight begins the full-on Wolitarsky/Petermann era in our Canadian receiving corp much like the Poplawski/House era lead to so much Bomber greatness. Petermann and Woli - lead us to at least three Grey Cups guys!

His parents are serious fans. Fun to watch them at the games, last week was like a Christmas, birthdays and anniversary all at the same time.

Okay settle down, Matthews is still a great receiver. Lawler has had one good game lol

wow..... first game for me watching on tv tonight.... and now I want to go see this team play live..... I'm getting tickets

For all the worry in the off season how about that offensive line.

What about Jake The Acadian Cake (because he's a treat) Thomas?

@CFLonTSN RECORD SETTER: Matt Nichols throws 17 consecutive completions to set new #BlueBombers record.

Please keep the foot on the gas now.

lol this comment aged quickly

NEVERMIND

I love it how the two players (Hecht and Demski) who many here saying were the weak links have been solid performers. It shows how we fans aren't the best judge of talent. Who knew?

you know who you are. have a bite

Big Lou’s Hitman Man of the game Jeff Hecht forget about it. Man don’t go over the middle because he will snap you in have.

Awesome. Two teams that may as well be playing in different leagues. Bombers are the real deal.

Deeply disappointed we gave up a single.

Visions of Nickname Nate - be dancing in my head

1 - O line . Nichols wasn't even close to being touched 2 - D line - Jefferson is a beast... extend him immediately! 3 - Nichols - Made the right decisions and dropped some beauties. No complaints at all tonight! HH - Peterman looking like a young Dressler out there...

I can’t believe the deep ball to Feoli-Gudino didn’t work.

That's Handsome Pete, he catches for Nichols.

Looked like CS broke the plain from my couch.

Can you even imagine being a Nichols hater right now? How much of an ******* must you feel like LOL

“ a lot of holding on us tonight huh” - Matt Nichols

A quarter? He’ll be dancing for hours.

Petermann is just awesome

This split screen is absolutely bloody awful TV by TSN. I don't want to watch Jefferson stand around. I just want to see the play at full screen on our nice large TV. Get out of here with this garbage.

Lawler could potentially be very good. Certainly very smooth.

great pass protection on the td pass wow peterman is smart.... he clearly saw the blitz coming

Rose is terrific. Reminds me of the unheralded addition of Randle years ago that transformed this defence.

Hooray! No RodBlack for the redblacks game!
