Better D this week? Ottawa drives 85 yds for easy opening drive TD Harris is 9 for 9, against the ole predictable soft coverage. Easy 2 point convert....6 minutes of defensive futility...... Bombers first play on offense.....Nichols bombs away... ..on stop and go to Lankford, who can really move.... In this case... 78 yds with perfect pass right in there... Finally a stop...some 2 back with Harris and Flanders ...couple of completions by Nichols... ...brings on Medlock. who puts 52 yd FG, down the pipe! Nichols putting ball on target.....JFG getting some work... Loffler strips Ottawa RB on short yard play....ball pops up... Randall grabs it and runs down the sideline 30 yds for the TD. Nichols bombs to Adams....obvious PI completely missed....| ....brings on obvious challenge....with obvious overturn. Bomber D covering better, could of had some picks.... Offense having some struggles with 2nd down penalties... Halftime 17-12. Seen worse .. from this team. Bomber D starts off 2nd half with....a Powell 50 yd td run... ...as he finds no LB's in second level....and goes in untouched... Turning into a game of field position, at this point.... Hurl and Knox are struggling again, just like last week.... Ottawa FG has it at 23-17 for Red Blacks.... JFG having productive evening..... Flanders-Harris reappears.....Adams catches ball down deep.. Nichols misses Denmark, then gets sacked..... Mr. Medlock makes it 23-20. Still impressed with Jeffcoat at DE. Back up RB QB drops snap, can't convert 3rd and short. Nichols perfect TD pass to Adams.....but Blue tagged for holding... Undeterred...Nichols hits Denmark inside the 10...... ...but the Bombers THIRD hand to face penalty call, wipes that out. Sir Medlock makes it 23-all. Going to be another of THOSE finishes.... Roc gets IC penalty....Ott. convert 2nd down against soft coverage.... ....RedBlacks eating up the yards and the time..... Harris long toss to Ellington....2 Bomber DB's standing and looking at each other... Big time coverage bust for the D. Big go-ahead TD for Ottawa....30-23. Nichols trapped for sack, but pitches it to Thorpe who breaks 3 tackles for FD... Harris run...and sideline PI on Adams gets the Bombers deep... Why is MOS taking timeout just before the 3 minute warning? Adams in the endzone. but leaves his feet and does not stay in bounds . Earl of Medlock kicks another.....30-26. Bombers are only down 3 with 2:30 left.....no sweat.... Long Justin kickoff is conceded... for huge single point...one possession game... The maligned Bomber D gets the stop with pretty good coverage.... Short Mahar punt sails straight out of bounds....10 yards tacked on... Nichols completes to Adams, but overthrows JFG on 2nd down. Squire Medlock kicks the field goal...with 55 seconds left....30-30... All down to Blue defense.....who gets huge hit from Loffler.... ...and key defended pass from the Roc, on 2nd down... Time for some of the ole Blue Bomber Voodoo..... Nichols hits Thorpe, then Denmark...Harris bulls down to the 30... Master Medlock lines up on final play of game for 35 yd attempt... ....and it is REAL GOOD!! Bomber pull it out again! 33-30. Bombers left some plays out there.....and boned themselves with penalties... Alternating between Swagger and Stagger...but this crew never gives up. "Scrub" Nichols cool as ice, in crunch time, again.....17-5 as Bomber starter Huge road win against a RedBlack team who is better than that record.... Huge gin consumption.....for whatever works....
