do or die Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 True to rumor…that new stadium does look pretty sweet… Riders take 2 penalties early… Bombers look pretty conservative…and pretty tight… Nichols throwing a lot of very short…and very poor balls… JFG has pass bounce off him for INT… Glenn tosses perfect TD throw to Holly over R. Carmichael…10-0 Riders look like they are playing with 13 men out there… Nichols sacked to end a pretty useless 1st quarter for the Blue… …as in 0 first downs…and 10 yds. on offense… Heath picks off a long Glenn overthrow, into double coverage… O’Shea wins 2nd challenge on IC… ……but Nichols misses wide open Dressler in the end zone… Bombers down 10-3…and losing battle for field position… Glenn hits Grant with short TD pass…now 17-3 Riders Bomber D stabilizing…… Bomber O still struggling… Bomber DT’s doing some good work…… Nichols just gets down to basics…puts bulls-eye on Adams… .. 3 straight catches…with nice TD catch and run… 30 sec left…Glenn throws perfect pass…to Sam Hurl… Nichols misses Denmark in end zone…Medlock with FG Bombers lucky to be down only 17-13 at the half… …despite doing nothing for over 20 minutes… Dressler pops through a seam with no Riders in sight… …suits Nichols…as he completes 87 yd. pass and run play… Riders bumble away the ensuing kickoff….Bombers recover… Dressler finds no Rider lined up across from him in red zone… …so simply waltzes into end zone to receive another wide open TD pass…. Boom, boom….25 seconds…..2 TD’s….27-17 Bombers… Memo to Rider Fans…..Dressler not too old, small or slow…… Good Rider kick return and a penalty enables Riders to kick FG… Washington takes advantage of yet another Riders secondary bust… …to haul in 35 yd. TD pass from Nichols…who really looks on the beam, now… Glenn completes couple of passes and gets Blue D penalty to set up FG… Hurl playing his best game in a Bomber uniform… Medlock makes it 37-23…time to cruise to victory…… …hold da phone…Glenn gets off a drive…..and hits Demski with TD pass… Carmichael not exactly a Roc today… Nichols sacked…..momentum turning yet again… Nice punting from Medlock tonight… All Jake Thomas does….is make plays… Not sold on our kick returner…just yet… Some nice work by Knox and Miller on special teams… Bombers get ball back …Nichols sacked again… Crucial turnover: Grant catches and fumbles ball… …but magically converted into incompletion by CFL review… Naturally Glenn moves ball…throws 4th TD pass to Roosevelt… Not impressed with our DE’s tonight… Two Bomber rooks in secondary tested today… Alexander holding up well…but can’t smell what Roc is cooking… Solid game from Chris Randle… Blue get the ball back but Nichols sacked AGAIN….punt… Rider can’t move it into FG range…..overtime it is… 2nd series…Crapinga right on target…with left goalpost … Sense of impending doom…now hanging over the proceedings… …all that is left is for Mr. Medlock to line up… …and proceed to hit his 5th FG…for a 43-40 Bomber WIN. Nice… to overcome slow start, building and the hype… …to win opener on the road… Not so nice…to barely beat a pretty poor Rider team… Riders could really use 13 men in secondary… Bombers could really use some way… not to blow leads… I could really use some way to cut back a bit… on the gin… Brandon, bearpants, MOBomberFan and 19 others 22
