Nice crowd, perfect weather, double flyover...... Bombers take opening drive right down the Esks 6... 2nd down trick play...Adams to Nichols, ends with Adams sacked... ....far too cute, when you have meat and potatoed it, right down the field.... Heath makes perfect read....then flat out drops INT, probably for 6... Nice run/pass balance for the Bombers so far, moving ball well..... ...but holding penalties on back to back series....stall those... The Harris/Flanders sets, have the Moes LB's back on their heels.... Nice to have TWO backs who can get the YAC..... Pretty intense out there.....plenty of thumping.... Speaking of that, Mike Miller really likes to thump.... Esksies get off a drive that stalls at the Bomber 30.. FG missed....Lankford gets huge return to midfield..... ...wiped out by illegal block on Knox....who has taken a few, this year.... Blue take ball....Nichols works short zone to Thorpe, Harris, Denmark.. Harris crashes through again....down deep, but fumbles the ball Dumb trick play, dropped INT, penalties...and a fumble..... ....only Bomber mistakes keeping the Moes in this one..... Eskimos struggling on O...... Tons of YAC, from Bombers....Thorpe is like a 3rd running backs... Harris runs over some people, Thorpe runs over some more..... The Fever plunges in for 6....while Bomber O almost runs up into stands... 10-0 Blue. Only. Despite completely dominating this game... This Perkins is a pretty good RB , for Edmonton..... Esks run sweep on 3rd and 1 for good yardage..... Reilly chucks it up the sidelines...for Deke Williams..... ....who makes circus catch, between Roc/Walker double team.... D gets the hold.....FG makes it 10-3 Bombers... Nichols is sacked, Blue takes ANOTHER holding penalty.... Rielly heaves another pass down the sideline, with 35 sec. in half... Randle has the blanket coverage.....and the interception..... Harris rips another one.....Nichols puts up jump ball in end zone..... Adams goes up .....and comes down, with the 6....with 9 seconds left 17-3.....better reflection of the run of play......20 first downs for O. Perkins still running effectively, inside....good looking RB. Reilly bombs away to K. Stafford, who beats the Roc for the ball. TD. ...this Roc experiment is getting on my nerves..... Harris with another 20+ yd gain.....Flanders breaks more tackles It may be ole school....but these two RB sets....really have D on their heels... Combo of hurry up and quick snaps.....is also befuddling the Esks.... ....as they take their 3rd Too Many Men call...... Edmonton OL doing pretty good job on pass pro..... Reilly makes crappy throw into double coverage....... Somehow Walker and Loffler...cant knock down the ball...... ....with the Duke grabbing it, while lying on the ground......for the TD Somehow it is only 24-17 Bombers.....

Rielly still standing in there.....completes 5 passes...... Heath almost has another pick.....better hands...he would have about 10. 3rd and inches, Moes elect to FG....as time running out.....33-26 Short kick goes directly to Adams.....game.... Down goes the Eskimo perfect season! Down goes the IGF curse! Down goes the gin! 560 yds on O.....38 first downs....Nichols 360 Passing ....no IN's ....fanatic 38 minutes of TOP. Really have to tighten up in the back end on D.... This game was better...... than the score looked.... The gin was better ....than the bottle looked....

Just call him "Mister Ham and Egger" And smile when you say that............

That 2 back set gave the Moes fits.......LB's cover the short zones?....or the flats?....or just stand still, while considering things? Flanders run/catch abilities are a perfect bookend piece to Harris. Harris simply would not take no, for an answer, tonite......outstanding stuff.

No more home field disadvantage.....this team really needs to step up....and not back. This game is very important for momentum, standings, the fanbase, and most importantly.....my own personal satisfaction.

No more anti-Nazi protesters, for 50 years. MAGA!

Instead of rallying all the American people, in the thous of this turmoil........Trump holds rallies to simply celebrate his own narcissism, egomania, and the continued sating and gulling of his mindless base. What totally amazed me months ago - and still does.....is that even early on in the campaign, anyone who could muster even an ounce of critical thinking, could clearly see that Trump was an amoral, racist, misogynist, and serial lying fake. Didn't matter to the Republican leadership, of course ....they found that they had a practical tool to use, in the pursuit of their own twisted agenda, where the fat cats get fatter, on more saucers.....and everyone else, is left to fight over the mice. Between wanting to push this agenda through, regardless.....and lacking the internal fortitude to push back against Trump, for fear of losing his base (voting bloc), they mumble in the background (McConnell) or make generalist statements against hate, without mentioning the Don (Ryan) or love their job so much, that any amount of abuse can be shrugged off (Sessions) They are a joke.

Al Pence is good for.... is mumbling about "What the President really meant to say" in order to calm US allies

Don't go to Brietbart, then...... Ps - this Alt-Left stuff was basically cooked up, some time ago.... by Hanninty, on Fox.

Lets test their mettle.....

The GOP leadership is completely complicit in all this.......looking the other way, holding their noses, making rationalizations and flat out excuses for this guy. And in the process, constantly eating his insults, like the moral cowards that they are. Trump is simply a tool they consciously used..... to get what they wanted (not that they have accomplished anything with it) This is the natural extension of the Republican version of enlarging the tent, the last couple of decades......by opening their arms to the Alt-Right, and many other forms of extremists, both religious and cultural ...... The spotlight is now squarely on the GOP - do they condone this, or not? No amount of "what the President really meant", "out of context", "has his own style" or any of that other BS will cut it now.

Trump is a real tough hombre when talking about women, Muslims, Mexicans, former Presidents, Black Lives Matter, Gold Star families, Liberals, the people that work around him in his (supposed) political party and foreign leaders . Almost everybody. Well, except David Duke, Richard Spencer.......and Vladimir Putin. The mask slipped off tonight......in a angry, petulant and non-factual way.......in short, the way The Fugly American usually goes about things. My Dad served in the Royal Canadian Navy.....my uncle, served in the Royal Canadian Air Force - both fighting the Nazis, in WW2. Yup, those folks, that Donald Trump feels the need, to deflect from, make excuses for and provide fake moral equivalency for them. Disgraceful. During the election, I posted here that Trump was not qualified to be a dog catcher. In retrospect, probably should of been a bit harsher.

Not sure even Lawless could finish this.....

Who cares? If we get some tighter coverage to go with our DL....all is well.

The deal is though, that against non-Hamilton teams, we will have to finish some of those drives off......

Wonder when Thorpe will see a ball more than 8 yards down the field?

and that grimy Bond

A new savior has come

They really missed Burnham, who bails out Jennings a lot of the time. If Lulu starts to really get nicked and dimed, regularly.....and Jennings does not bounce back - the Lions may have a real problem.

Esks are banged up, and Bombers are a physical team at the line of scrimmage. So pound away on them, all nite

Watching the X game at home....liked Walker's tackling and speed...

....and we should know. If fact it has been known to happen more than every now and then.......

No shilly shally.... We are relatively healthy, are on a winning streak and playing at home. I EXPECT a win.

Yup. Don't understand Austin's fascination with Gable. He is a terrible blocker, doesn't like to get hit, and is not going to get you yards in the A/B gaps. Yet he still is the "feature back". Although in an Austin offense, that is a bit of a oxymoron.

Bannon was advising Trump, earlier this week not to upset the "Base". Think Bannon really meant his own Alt-Right base. The Cheeto in Chief spent a good portion of the election campaign, playing up to the "disenfranchised" white folk, and giving the bigots and racists some fodder, in the form of the Birther Theory, the Wall, Travel Ban, etc. These moral, upstanding Republicans that go tisk tisk.... every time that Trump says or does something inappropriate, which is pretty well every day, really make me laugh. They knew that by hitching the wagon to Trump, you were also getting Bannon, Gorka, Miller and giving the Alt-Right credibility and a say in the agenda. But hey votes are votes.
