Odds and Sods - Game 9 - Bombers at Montreal

[do or die]

Things looking good out of the gate....no Rod Black....
Cole picks off Glenn...sets up Medlock 47 yd FG....
Derrick Jones perfect punt block....but Blue settle for FG...
MOS wins INT challenge...but Medlock trots out again...
More turnovers, but Bombers only up 9-0
Bomber O not going vertical....mostly flats and hashmarks....
Bomber D sagging against the run....
Als come back with back to back TD drives...14-9 Als
Not many touches for Harris...so far....
Nichols throwing a bunch of wayward passes....
Bombers O leaving way too much points on field...
Blue rookie receivers looking like rooks....
Way too many off the ball penalties....
Moe Leggett steps in front of Thick Nick....
...and strolls 50 yds for INT touchdown....
Plenty of plays left on field....but Blue up 18-15 at half...
Both teams fall into total stupor... in scoreless 3rd quarter...
Ton-O-Flags...real dumb penalties by both sides....
MOS passed on 2 potential Medlock tries....
Why do both teams run that shotgun, in short yds?
Both teams D's....taking over the game.....
Medlock goes 5-5 and puts Blue up 22-18....
Down to field position....in the stretch....
Lapo figures out that Harris should get more rock..
Bombers get ball deep in their end, with 5 min left.....
Nichols is hitting passes now....rooks are catching them....
Big Boy Bond totally sells roughing penalty on Bowman...
....Als outrage results in another 15.....
Harris busts outside on draw play.....
...and walks into end zone....
...putting the cap on clutch 95 yd drive..
29-18..as Black would say...Goodnight Montreal!
Loffler gets window dressing interception, next series....
Then Bass pulls down the curtain, with yet ANOTHER pick
Stated that this turnover rate was unsustainable.....
Well, news travels slowly in ole Blue dressing room...
...as Bombers have 6 more turnovers ....
......and hold ALs to ZERO pts. in 2nd half....
Not an artistic success.....but 4th straight win
Spilled all over my shirtfront....but enjoyed the gin....

error on halftime score

otherwise brilliant as usual -- the hemmingway play by play

given up on emulating the gin (you won't tell me brand).  Now believing Laphroig is lucky,

Defense and ST aren't artistic?? 

[Noeller]

"spilled all over my shirtfront" .....got a chuckle from me at the imagery. I've been careful to not spill on the lucky jersey (blank 2004 navy blue...first year of reebok) ........so far.....

[no71]

gameworn #71 (according to ebay) no spilling allowed.

Also the als outrage only cost them an extra 10, but I ain't a nit-picker =)

a true disciple of Rich "Turd Down" Dowery.....who would be loving this Bombers streak, God rest his soul...... 

[do or die]

Yes, Rich helped me break into the ole CFL Zone....

[no71]

I followed Rich's story ... nice to think he might be enjoying this.  Very sad ... and lament and forgive the disgusting bigotry.

Thank you do or die.  Detail provides colour.  No Yellow?  No Ungava?  Tanqueray, admittedly by habit.

[Noeller]

Rich loved his Bombay....loved the CFL.....and, when not playing his beloved Lions, he loved the Bombers. Always said 1991 (...or was it '98?) was his favourite Grey Cup...

[no71]

I hope '98.  Michael Gray.

I liked the trick play with the ball being snapped through Nichols' legs to Kohlert who completes the pass to Harris.

i wonder if O'Shea and Lapo will have anything special planned for LDC.

4-1 on the road this year

Time to reward the fans and turn the numbers around in their own house.

I still haven't seen that play! TSN completely bought the fake and I never saw it. I'm not sure if they had a replay that showed it, but if so, I musta missed that, too. Friggin' camera guys....

I deleted it off my PVR already but if you have the Riders/Esks game before it starts they are still talking about the Bomber game. They showed a replay of the ball right between Nicholl's legs back to Kolhert. Was an angle from behind the offense so showed it well. At least I think that's where I saw the replay. My jaw dropped when I saw how well they pulled it off.

that's awesome...I've always got the overrun set on my PVR, so I'm betting I caught that...

Yup...tsn screws up again....The toss by Kohlert was hardly 'Dieter Brock' like but it got there...We need a few more plays like that to loosen up the opposition..
