do or die

Bomber D looks bamboozled Bomber O, shoots itself in 2nd downs Not good enough

Hey, if not......we will all be able to complain in perfect harmony...........

Win over the fading Stamps means nothing, we haven't played the Riders yet................

His status last week was DNK (Did Not Kick)

...in 3 straight games....

...or instability?

Was a pretty good kicker 40 years ago. My passport is correct. If only I could stay sober.............

Good team. Played bad.

Unlike plenty of others, in the past. Got pretty tired of the smoke and excusemiestering.....

Not convinced that the score in that game, represented some kind of moral victory. And, truth be told..... I hate moral victories

I blame gin........

If you want to look at this from another angle.........a more typical effort would of brought us a win. Which spotlights the multiple areas in which we played pretty bad......

I expect more ooph from our Oline as well....

We miss Tank Richardson at DT. We miss Grant on KR. We missed Harris and Demski in the backfield. At least some health would solve some of these problems...

Special teams used to be viewed as a team strength. With this current K and KR......hardly.

Was mentally trying to review this game and find the bright spots. Might not be enough gin, for that. How bad was the Bomber offence? Try 40, yes 40 minutes of Argo TOP, as the O kept handing them back the ball, all day. Blue OL did not dominate, and establish a run game, We got spooked out of that, early, then stopped trying. ZC with some errant passes, receivers dropping balls....under a pretty vanilla game plan to boot. D gave up scores on Argo first 3 possessions.....tightened up in the middle part, then wore out under the crazy TOP Special teams? Don't trust this kicker, and Grant is sorely missed on KR's.

Good Argo KR, sets them up in Bomber territory... Bede with 48 yd FG......3-0 Argos.. ZC takes blindside pop on first pass attempt.. Adams already scrapping/yapping with the DB'sf Tor runs fake flea filcker off screen pass for big gain Arbuckle showing pass for 13...slant pass for 10.... Foster runs draw right up the middle for the TD Bombers in the hole, early. 10-0 Hope that is the TD against, for the day, as usual Argos giving the Bomber D some trouble..... ....with split back formations and lots of movement ZC throws into heavy traffic, with 2 Bombers, 2 feet apart. .....and of course the ball is picked off. Great knockdown by Nichols on 2nd down..... Bede with the short FG to make it 13 -0 Argos Are the Blue having a time zone problem here, or what? Baily drops pass + incomplete pass = another 2 and out Both Bomber units slow out of the gate, here.... Miller misses tackle on short pass for 25 yards ...to Blue 20 Arbuckle rolls out...stripped of the ball, by Jeffrcoat.... ....Briggs picks it up....rolls down the sideline for 80 yard TD!! Just what the doctor ordered, to wake these guys up. 13-7 Arbuckle good gain to Rogers, then another screen to Collins Bomber D having problems with play action and screen dumps. 2nd and short....Argos run right up the gut for 7. Bad sign. Bede 37 yard FG has the Argos with 16-7 lead.... Oliveria with 2nd down carry for FIRST DOWN. ....and it only took 22 minutes. Pathetic.... Zac misses Adams....and is throwing the ball erratically Lawler drops 2nd down pass. Nothing right on O, so far... Nelson running back kicks....like tiptoeing through the tulips ZC has time, and fires it up long...to Adams... ...........who has freshly toasted his man by 10 yards... ...and hauls in the 50 yd TD pass!! Huge play. 16-14 now. Two plays has turned this thing right around.... Jefferson downs Nick for -2. Thomas sacks Arbuckle Blue D line really picking it up now... Adams can't haul in 2nd down pass. More 2 and out.. Alford called for interference on pretty close call to Blue 35 Arbuckle play action and has Daniels a mile behind Miller .....35 yd TD, with 9 seconds left in the half. Inexcusable. 22-14 Argos....and it actually could of been worse ...as Toronto had possession for most of that half.... Bombers need to reload: I need to refill...... Alexander smokes McDaniel on attempt over the middle Alex gets a 15 yarder, McD finally gets up and off the field Jeffcoat strips Arbuckle again....but Argos recover Zac pressured on 2nd down and incomplete Offense starts off this half with more 2 and outs.... Could really use Harris, right now.... Alexander blitzes up the middle, crashes attempted handoff ......Bombers recover the ball on Argo 30. Now is the time. ZC 2nd down deep pass to Adams who can't hold on at the 5 Our FG kicker misses the short FG by a couple of yards. Crap. 22-15. One point on that series is pretty deflating..... Foster pops through the A gap for 35 yards....TO set up again Arbuckle has wide open guy and hits him inside the 5..... Spearing penalty on the play has it on the 1. QB sneak. TD. 29-15. Huge TOP differential may have worn down Blue D ...as they do not look like a top unit, right now.... On the bright side: M. Miller is now the all-time CFL ST tackler! Oliveria struggles for 5...2nd down pass knocked down... Bomber O looking just as useless, in this 2nd half.... Foster runs for another FD, but high snap kills the drive Zac has pass knocked down, another to Oliveria short of marker 2 and out.....wash and repeat.....2 and out.....film at 11.... Zac to Oliveria and Lawler for a couple of first downs! ZC is sacked, then 2nd down pass, through Bailey's hands Receivers not helping things out there, today.... Crapinga out for the 48 yd attempt....ha....kick is nah Arbuckle throws short...Miller misses ANOTHER tackle for 20 Bombers get it back......but down to 3 and a half minutes left Zac off back foot.....throws deep into double coverage... .....but Lawler makes a circus catch at the Argo 30 ZC to Wolt for 10...and Bailey to the 7..... Bailey is wide open on slant pattern in end zone .....and Zac puts in there. TD Bombers. 30-23 Blue kickoff deep. Need the D to stand, here... Collins catches short ball....Miller is there.... ....and misses tackle yet again, huge gain to Wpg 47 This guy should get a map of the 400/401....and left there. Arbuckle over 300 yards. White runs for 9 Argos convert 3rd down. Game. We miss Harris, but we also have problems at CB, DT, LB etc... Injury list catching up with this team. Gin drinking catching up to Do or Die

At least the drinking was on par....

Mentioned after the first game, that the Argos were pretty physical. They added some pretty good execution on both sides of the ball, today. Wake up call indeed....

More than a few people will have to pick it up, for that to happen..

Cut Miller twice.

Too bad the Argos didn't start the prevent D, 5 minutes earlier..

Injury list has to some extent, caught up to this team....

ZC off his back foot, jump ball, into double coverage.....give Lawler the credit there...

We see how the Bombers look without ground and pound. Not a pretty sight
