Cold, cold wind...up in the ole upper deck....

Bighill in on a lot of tackles early.....
Bomber O sputtering in this 1st quarter....
Until Nichols play actions.....then throws long ball....
….drops it into Adams, in stride....75 yds clear sailing....
Only play on O..... and Bombers are up 14-0.
Bomber D closing on receivers and making sure tackles.....
Medlock with some nice punting...ST's with good coverage....
Collaros completing some balls.....but not going through reads....
Lots of jaw-jaw between Blue receivers and Rider D.....
Loffler actually looks like centerfielder....as he picks off bad ZC throw, deep
Couple of Harris runs.....gets it to Rider 15.....
Naturally we get an incomplete pass, then a sack...
Medlock pops 30 yd FG....Bombers 17-0...
For his size...Sayles does some thumping out there.....
Hall still running lots of blitz packages, again....
Collaros getting pressured....and looking shaky....
Thompkins catches for FD....Harris runs for another 9...
Streveler on 2nd and short …rears up and throws down the middle...

Nichols completes passes to Demski and Wolitarsky……
Streveler then runs sneak and barges his way up the gut, for 25....to Rider 1

Loffler really ranging around there, in this one....
Bighill chases down Bridge, with some tremendous pursuit...…
Sayles having another strong game, back there.....
Bridge has a terrific arm....but with no clue what he is doing out there.....
Both teams still smacking on D....just punts going back and forth, now....
Bridge to Holley, who is stripped by Fogg....who also recovers the fumble...
….capping off a miserable afternoon for Rider receiving corps.....
This Bryant at DT can ball, some....surprising quickness.
Bombers get it back with 2.5 minutes left....and just grind out the clock
…..to preserve the 31-0 shutout.  
Bombers needed that game more.....and played like it
I needed the gin, just as much....and drank like it.


 

I’m going to give some credit to Mike O’Shea.
The decision to substitute players for the 4th quarter was an important step for O’Shea. It was a must.
When Streveler went in, it was a learning experience. He threw that pick to the sidelines. This was the time to make that mistake..when you’re up by big points, not when #1 QB goes down and you’re pressed into action. Right there, Streveler found out you can’t casually throw that ball to the sidelines. He had to bullet it there. Now he knows. He won’t be doing that again. 
Streveler found out by playing. There’s no other way.
 

Was Jefferson trash talking as he walked off the field? He looked like he was yapping at the Bombers. What an ass clown. 

He is a piece of trash. 

Yes he was... and yes he is!

Can't win or lose with any class whatsoever. Today exemplified that perfectly. Crazy talented but a pile of garbage otherwise.

We. Shut. Them. Out.  

We. Shut. Them. Out.  

Bomber D impressive as hell and it starts with Bighill

I'm totally into embarrassing the Riders by running up the score in revenge for the way the Riders hotdogged us in the Banjo Bowl.  Especially Willie Jefferson. 

The only thing I can say in Nichols defense in relation to Streveler's play is that if he was starting, he'd be used totally different. Right now, Streveler can come off the bench & be a total change up that defensively is very difficult to stop.  I don't think there's another backup qb like that in the CFL. Very unique. 

Yeah, I don’t think Nichols is doing all that bad. His misses are half and half. Throwing the ball sometimes where no Rider can get it. Making some good decisions and throws.

He continues to impress at every opportunity. We couldn't ask for more from this kid.

They shouldn't be there. 

So, he strutted after throwing a 79 yard TD pass. Give me a break. Streveler would be screaming like a banshee. You give no credit to Nichols at all. For anything. 

Doubt it lol

Season not over yet. See, that's the Riders problem. You guys win the Grey Cup in every month except November. 

Who is "they"? 

We have given up 365 points...Riders have given up 373...we both have given up 30 offensive TD's...we have given up 13 passing TD's (2nd in league) you guys 20 (good for 6th)...We forced 41 turn overs...Riders 36..tied for interceptions and and fumble recoveries...and have 131 points off turnover as opposed to 91 for the Riders...you do have edge in sacks 41 to 37 but most of yours come from 2 guys, where Winnipeg doesn't have to rely on 2 guys.
So based on stats..which you seem to indicate don't lie..how is the Rider defense better...statistically in all the major points you trail Winnipeg??
Also..you are dead last in punting average and net punting..sixth in kick off average...we are tied at 3rd for punt return average given up..Riders have given up 3 kick return Td's to our 1...we blocked 3...you blocked 2...though you have returned 4 and we have returned 1...and we have least ST penalties in the league...so again...how are the riders far superior? 
Based on numbers and stats...it seems that the Rider's are a far superior team in luck and horseshoes moreso than in ability...based on stats

Especially this year, he has had a much tougher go of it. He is soo seldom dropped by the first tackler, and when he is brought down he goes down pushing forward virtually every carry. His are the grittiest yards in the cfl. 

wow have times changed...an 180 pound guard?? I was a 195 pound QB in grade 10
 

Damn, why do you quote him.
