do or die

Not sure if it is what we do......or not do, in these situations

Would like to somehow bottle what this D does late in games.....and throw it into the Red River

1. Nichols Ole efficient Matt reappears.....with 3 TD's and no picks. Icelike TD and 2 pointer in overtime, as well. 2. Harris Running, catching, blocking.....165 yards of O, with balls out effort. Still this teams offensive lynchpin. 3. way tie - Dressler/Medlock/Bighill Dressler with 2 big TD's....using the goalpost as his pick play partner was fun. Medlock 6 for 6....and Bombers had to have them all Bighill makes the kind of clutch play in overtime, that stud players simply make HH. Adams

Far too many "implosions" late under Hall....

O did the job. Up 15 with 4 minutes to go. You should be able to book it. In fact, Bighill probably saved the day with his terrific pursuit/strip - as the D was folding in the overtime as well....

Simonise back on kickoff.....fumbles and boots it around, to put Bombers in a hole..... Nichols roughed in end zone, then O strings together 4 first downs..... Medlock makes it 3-0. Powell gets around the end on 2nd and short for 50 yards..... ...then catches ball on wheel route for easy TD. D on 2 point convert, still not a Bomber specialty…..8-3 Ottawa Nichols spreading the ball around, early, and releasing it quicker.... Hits Demski, then Dressler down to the RB 25, Adams catches slant. …. Harris runs for first down, then Adams catches another slant..... …..breaks a tackle and is in the end zone for the TD... Harris finding open receivers and has time to deliver...… So far, looks like the aliens have returned the real Hall to us...... Fenner blitz/sack stops drive on 2nd down. FG makes it 11-10 Redblacks Demski runs for 15, then passes to Adams and Demski…. ...sets up 37 yd Medlock field goal. 13-11 Blue Opo jumps offside.... but in 3 man rush....sacks Harris, on next play.... Medlock hits #3 to push it to 16-11. Ward goes for CFL consecutive FG mark with #39 in a row.... No... RedBlacks run the fake FG....and it comes up short... Adams embellishes contact a bit and draws 30 yd PI. Thompkins makes nice catch for first down... Dressler grabs 10 more.. Nichols sacked....Harris gets to Ott 24. Llast play FG has Bombers up 19-11. Alexander tagged for PI....but Bryant sacks Harris on another 3 man rush.... Nichols takes flea flicker, drops it off to Big Wolt for 20..... Dressler takes hitch for 10...Harris runs it down to the Ottawa 6..... Harris then...uh.....stands and watches 2 incomplete passes from there (sigh) Medlock is 5 for 5. Bombers up 22-11 Bombers kick their first punt ….at 5:50 of the 3rd quarter Harris drilled by Bighill. Ward does tie the record this time. 22-14 Blue Demski dancing around...on the end around...and fumbles ball away.. RB's don't go on 3rd and 1. Ward now has CFL record with 40th straight Bombers could use some O here. Nichols fumbles but Chung recovers.... Harris catches pass, hurdles tackler for good gain. Ottawa roughing on same play... Dressler gets his helmet ripped right off for another 15..... Revenge is sweet. Dressler wide open on curl out, in end zone for the TD. 28-17 Harris takes heavy hit from Jake Thomas....Sayles nice knockdown on 2nd down.... Harris and Demski run for FD. Thompkins catches one for another... Dressler drops 2nd down pass.....Medlock hits his 6th FG. 32-17 Clutch drive. Up 15 with less than 4 minutes to go. Somehow Randle has good ole JFG take the ball right out of his hands..... JFG then catches 30 yard shotput TD pass...as Fogg falls right down.... 32-14 Hold the phone. That only took Ottawa 45 seconds..... Huge Medlock punt puts RedBlacks on own 32, with 1:45 left Ellingson makes great catch to convert 3rd and 3..... Bombers laying off receivers and missing tackles, now... JFG (new Ottawa threat) catches pass over middle to Bomber 15 Harris then tosses to Ellingson for the TD. But they need the 2-pointer Of course, Ellingson catches floater over Alexander. 32-32 Bomber D has completely vaporized a 15 point lead in last 3 and a half minutes. OT. Harris catches, then runs for first downs. Harris rips off 12 more.... Nichols finds Dressler on 2nd down....wide open in end zone. 38-32 Bombers Have to have the 2. Nichols delivers to Adams. Up 40-32. Matt has looked a lot like the ole efficient Nichols, today..... Just need a stop on D, to close out this thing and cap my drinking... Ellingson catches two passes for first downs.....we just can't cover that guy... Vincent Rodgers takes brutal roughing penalty after the whistle Bomber D can't cover Sinopoli either...he takes it to the 18 Sinopoli catches it again, cuts inside to the Bomber 5...… ...but Adam Bighill pursues him....and punches the ball out..... Santos-Knox falls on it. Bomber ball. Bomber WIN. D finally make a stop. Bombers finally get 2 points ...on a bottle drainer, that should of been in the bag, long ago.... ….and has put me in the bag, right now.... ..

This is what happens when you push wedge politics, primarily fueled and then validated by fear and hatred. Extremism is no longer lurking at the fringes.

A shakeup is required now and then.....

Well, after the Banjo Bowl.....Boomer should of really been shown the door......

Not a ton of speed on O, we still have problems stretching the field......Nichols/ Adams blows hot and cold....and could sure use something to supplement it.

Infowars scoop: Mike Adams Warns Conservative Senators, Supreme Court justices: Unhinged left Planning “Kill Team” Home Invasions To Execute You & Your Families https://www.infowars.com/mike-adams-warns-conservative-senators-supreme-court-justices-unhinged-left-planning-kill-team-home-invasions-to-execute-you-your-families/

Watching Matt in the last while.....he really seems to be hesitant and getting through his progressions, in the pocket....more slowly. Just does not look as decisive, at times....

You can take it to the Bank....

They certainly lost the physical battle, there....

So much of Edmonton's O is predicated on Reilly heaving up the long ball to Walker and Williams.......without that aspect....can see Edmonton continuing to struggle on O

Which one? The one with base 4 and static blitz packages, that also has soft umbrella zone... laying way off the receivers in the back end? Or....the one, last nite.... with multiple 6 man fronts, blitzing from all kinds of sets... and a secondary closing tight and smacking receivers around? Confusing...

Trouble is...that in those kinda games....if you are actually pink slipping people based on that one game......half the Edmonton O, could of been cut.

Kinda of a knee jerk reaction....

First victim, according to 3rdDownNation: Edmonton Eskimos have let special teams coordinator Cory McDiarmid go.

...provide fans free booze, for the drinking games....

Will they ever shut up about Johnny......as in ever?

Almost like MOS threw Hall into a closet and locked it , just before game time. My vivid imagination....

Also kept pushing bodies right back into Rielly....great game

Esks Mitchell gets wide open, down on sideline....Reilly misses him... Sayles comes in clean and blocks first punt of the game..... Nichols sacked.....Blue settle for Medlock's 3.... Camera reveals that MOS... is not wearing shorts... Winnipeg media should initiate an investigation... Sayles....nice hit on shuttle pass...... Wolt Man takes middle pass for 30...getting the Blue out of a hole... The Duke of Edmonton catches pass, but fumbles....Alexander recovers... Nichols looking a bit tentative under pressure...he is sacked again... Bighill hits Reilly's arm on 2nd down....killing a Moes drive Adams can't squeeze 2nd pass for Blue.... Bomber O sputtering right now.... Reilly misses a pair of passes.....Esks O sputtering, as well... Some ugly pass pro, and slow decision making by Nichols...another sack. Nichols finally hits Petermann...good effort to run it to the 2 Streveler sneaks in....Bombers 10-0 Bomber import receivers....only effective as decoys, at this point..... Miller lays down the smack, on kick coverage.... Yet another 2 and out by Edmonton... Reilly now looking flustered ..... Miller comes in and slides out of the backfield to catch and run for 22. Medlock misses 44 yd FG attempt. Bighill and Bomber DT's....really running things in the middle now... Gator comes off edge...hits Reilly...ball goes right to Loffler downfield.... ....heads up lateral to Fogg brings it down deep into Esks territory.... Dressler sweeps it to the 5....then Harris takes the pitch untouched for the TD... Sayles gets in another good hit downfield.... Randle breaks up pass in endzone....Esks settle for FG. 17-3 halftime 2nd half starts like 1st...Bighill flushes out Reilly, who gets plowed by Santos-Knox..... Gets worse....Reilly throws late on square out....Fogg steps in front of it.... ....and cruises 70 yds down the sideline for easy Bomber TD. 24-3. Eskimos doing a lot of holding and throwing blocks early....to no avail.... Crazy amount of stunts and 6 man fronts from Hall tonight..... Reilly flushed out again....Alexander hits arm from behind..... ... with Fogg on the spot again, to recover the fumble.....his big nite continues.... Harris getting stuffed in the run game....Blue getting conservative on the play calls... Medlock makes it 27-3. 20 points off of 5 Eskimo turnovers.... Bomber D getting big pressure on virtually every play...and forcing errant throws.... Reilly now gets buried in the backfield by 3 Bombers......tough night indeed... Bombers now doing their own version of Play Safe....on O. We have around 160 yds in offense....and a 24 point lead.. D continuing to push the Esks around physically.....Reilly hits the dirt, yet again... Bombers finally and actually throw the ball down field to Adams for 30.... Harris starting to pound away at the tired Esk D-line for back to back first downs..... But Lapo gets cute....Dressler loses 5 on that ole sweep. Nichols is pressured....tries to squeeze it in tight....and is picked off at the Esk 5 yd line. Sayles pops the Duke again....this time he stays down, then leaves the game... Reilly is sacked by Nevis, on 3rd and 10....for turnover number 6.... ...and looking in serious discomfort at the Edmonton bench...... Harris does some more effective clock grinding....Medlock makes it 30-3 O' Brian comes in...and appropriately throws last play pick to Alexander. Bomber secondary's best game - Fogg, Sayles, and Alexander really got it done The inside story....was the pregame abduction of Richie Hall....by aliens. ...as the guy who took his place... dialed up a whole bunch of looks ..and big, big pressure Offense was nothing special.....but the D was.... Gin was nothing special ....but the consumption was...

Well, there is also the B-word and the B-word is bozo....
