do or die

Bo knows football.....you can talk if you can make the walk. Nothing for it, but to meet these guys again....and shove it down their throats, when the chips are all on the table. In the meantime, don't need to worry about the streak. Just start another one.

Easier for BLM... when the middle of the field was always wide open - not sure what we were doing with Loffler, and the coverages there....... You have to get heat or cover. We did neither on D, especially that first half. B. Johnston is still the go-to guy for the opposition. He does bring some things to the table, but needs to be replaced. We have a good team, but we will never have a great team - until we figure out how to get out of the gate faster. We had slow starts against inferior teams, but would be down at the half by a TD or less. Doesn't work that way with the Stamps.

....and they were right

We gave up 460 yds on D. Hardly any pass rush to speak of....and couldn't cover anyone, with the game on the line, dropping back 9 guys..... Room for improvement, for sure.

Bomber D not getting any pressure on BLM.... ...or covering the many open Stamps receivers..... Calgary marches down the field for TD on first possession.... ...then move it again for short FG.....10-0, in 5 minutes Nichols holding ball, missing throws, happy feet...... McDaniels automatic 2nd down converter for BLM.... Nichols 2-7 for 16 yds in opening quarter..... Bombers still letting Stamps pitch and catch..... ...60 yd TD drive and easy 2 pt convert follow....18-0 Smith not in sync with a Bomber QB, yet again.... Bomber O now giving up sacks and a pick..... Middle of field is free Stamp passing lane... ...as Loffler is getting educated, today.... Messam busts past 4 tacklers into the endzone.... ...now 24-0.... Flanders needs more touches..... Nichols has eyes for only Denmark and Dressler.... ....while Bomber O is 2 and out, over and out..... ...as Bombers are being schooled, fooled and tooled....... Bombers go on 3rd down.....little draw play to Flanders ...who makes great cut, bursts 50 yd... to get Blue on the board Inane play by J. Adams....not falling on fumble..... ..but just touching it to o set up Stamp FG...27-7 Stamps start 2nd half in poor FP...but drive for another FG. Stamp receivers are big, strong and fast..... ...hard for Blue to match that..... Medlock has a lot of punts and Finch...lot of good returns. 30-7.....run to the cupboard for more gin..... Blue finally get some field position..... ...Nichols TD pass to Dressler called back ..but Denmark follows with great catch in end zone... Bomber butter D now more the knife, as game goes on.... ...better coverage, and hitting Stamp receivers hard.... ...kick coverage finally picking up as well.... Great 45 yd catch by Smith on jump ball..... Pass to Denmark, run by Flanders..... ...sets up Nichols TD plunge..... 30-20.....hope is stirring..... Field position turning around now.... Burnett knocks ball out on short pass.... Bass picks it up and rumbles for huge D TD.. 30-27....this game is now on.... Parades hits upright on 40 yd FG attempt..... Stamps move it 60 yds for FG.....33-27 Stamps Time for one of the ole classic CFL finishes. Denmark...another great catch to keep drive going... Nichols hits Smith, down to the 5 yd line..... Nichols hits a diving JFG for the tying touchdown! ...Medlock PAT has Bombers up 34-33.. ...but with only 20 seconds to go.... BLM moves the Stamps 40 yds against the ole prevent.... Parades comes on for game winning 52 yarder..... ...and hits it...no time left...Stamps win 36-34. Gin all over my shirt again....in a bad way.... Just can't win in this place. T. Flanders can really ball...when he gets the ball... Denmark had a productive game.....some great grabs.. Character and jam....to come back from 30-7 deficit... ...but Stamps do what winning teams do in crunch time... ...and you just can't sport that kind of team...23 point lead... Huge moral victory....to come back from that..... Huge immoral loss..... to lose like that... Huge amount of gin in a losing cause.....

Our O needs to do something from the get-go. Puttering around for most of a half, will not cut it, against this team.

Human sacrifice.....dogs and cats living together.....mass hysteria.

Riders should jump to sign this guy. Worry about his tweets after.

Has to be the Riders......Jones and Carter could exchange bouts of "attitude"

Johnson has really struggled with both coverage and tackling, this year.

All-timer at RB, and one of the best KO returner as well. A NO BRAINER.

...or D and ST can take plenty of credit for that. But, yeah...without Sheppard....not a lot of physicality in that R corps

We need more than a couple of guys to catch passes, each game...

Well, we have had some GM's here who didn't even get the basic concept....

Think that my earlier point about Walters understanding CDN content and need to build through the draft.....has been hammered through, with this trade....

Well, going from scrapheaping....to dungheaping, has its downside.....

People's heads will explode if Glenn does well. Or for that matter, if he does not do well... Should be interesting...

Are you intimating that someone got the upper hand in that exchange?

As long as the football media in TO keep dozing....Drew might be all right...

Funny thing is....that with Kevin's ability to make reads and quick release......he fits a Lapo offense, pretty well...

Roosevelt eludes 3 Bomber tacklers..... ...for big YAC, deep into Blue territory... Riders get to 1st and goal...but stuffed twice ...take penalty, then stopped again...settle for 3 Riders look pretty ready to play.... Bomber O, slow and sluggish out of the gate..... ST penalties also leaving them with bad field position... 4 first downs/17 yds passing/ 5 penalties for Bombers in 1st quarter... Cole has stopped the revolving door at DE.....makes plays.. Both teams now heavly exchanging......penalties.. Passes to Dressler and Smith set up Medlock from 35 yds..... Harris limping....goes to bench....comes back out.... limps some more.... .Rider O is grinding to a halt.... ...as Bombers are amping up the pressure on Durant... Bad news: Ian Wild goes out. Good news: Tony Burnett can ball. Roosevelt with circus catch....guy is a playa.... Hard hitting game, plenty of guys getting up slowly.... Nichols bombs 50 yds to Dressler...couple of Rider penalties... ...Nichols sacked but MOS challenge roughing passer....gets it... Ball on the 1, Nichols sneaks in to finish 70 yd TD drive. 10-3. Pretty chippy play off the ball....by both teams.... Bombers knocking Durant around....Darrian looking rattled... Harris trys it for the 3rd time.....and leaves the game for good... Bombers s-l-o-w-l-y...winning field position battle..... Rookie Corney doing some good work at DE and ST.... Fogg busts 75 yd punt return for the touchdown.... ..and for the 3rd time, this year....he is called back on illegal block... Ryan Smith can't buy a break, except perhaps on his thumb... ...this guy does not have the luck of the Irish.. Durant starting to get some more time in the pocket.... ....completing more passes...particularly on 2nd down... ..as he puts together 80 yd TD drive...with pass to Roosevelt... 10-10.....end of the third....as Medlock misses 49 yd attempt... McDuffie starting to grow on me, at SB..... Bombers have limited run game with Harris out..... Riders have absolutely no run game...as is... IC penalty on Loffler...gives Riders ball on Bomber 20.... But...Fogg strips receiver of da ball.....Adams recovers... JFG makes great 50 yd catch to get Bombers out of their end.... PI on Sask and couple of catches from Dressler..moves it closer... Nichols then scrambles and spagetti legs it..... down to the 1.... Next play Nichols plunges over to cap clutch 94 yd drive. 17-10 Blue Demski having his best game for the Riders at receiver.... Dressler having his best....as a Bomber... Somebody will come out of DB backfield... when Randle returns ....but it should not be Fredrick....another soild game... Riders line up for 57 yd FG attempt...who are they kidding? ....as my entire section is jumping up and screaming...."fake, fake!" Riders go ahead and run that fake...with QB Bridge running to the outside... ....and getting cut down by Fredrick.....huge turnover. Medlock punts and pins Riders deep....3rd and 3..Sask decides to punt. Medlock misses clinching 48 FG attempt....Lawrence is racing downfield... ...until upended by the last man back.....Nichols. But typically.... Riders are called for illegal block. Game over. Blue sweep Riders for first time since 2004.... 6 straight wins....longest streak in 15 years.... ...while DOD simply stays the course...with the usual gin.... ...perhaps a little longer tonight...

Anybody really think we were going to get some help, here? Als are old and dispirited.

Needs to be more like the USA.... Like ......Investors Group Wade Miller Pinnacle Bowl Far more cachet. No?

Some of our offensive play calls were a little weird, as well....

Riders need Durant to give them some credibility, while the roster is put back together, for at least 2 years.....
