Some lousy D, in crunch time.....by Bombers tonite....

How many 5 - 10 yard passes did Nik Lewis catch on 2nd down?  You would think they would lock in on the guy?

May I add something Do or Die?

AND I will add this ....Hurl is found to be wanting......I wish we had someone else to call on but I'm afraid we're stuck...Does Mike O actually look at his play on the game tapes????

Kathleen Lindsay would be proud of this. You need to take this to Harlequin Romance.

No ones better in finding the soft spot in a zone defense then Nik Lewis. Gotta give credit when credit is due.
