do or die

Good running by Harris...sets up opening drive FG by Medlock... Just as well....as Harris does not see the ball much after that.... Holley catches one deep from Durant..but Crapigna misses FG.... Durant getting surprising amount of time to throw...... Riders boning themselves with early penalties..... Nichols lays out perfect long ball to McDuffie for 80 yd TD...10-0 Crapigna misses another FG...good return by Leggett.... ...sets up Medlock from 25....now 13-0 Blue... Riders bungle fake punt....Bomber O set up again... ...but Medlock hits post on 45 yarder....streak over... Bombers are squandering chances to blow it open... Riders still taking penalties...even with 13th man..... Harris is missing in action, as game goes on.... Riders in Blue territory 5 times in half - garner 3 points Nichols strings together some completions before the half... ....to set up...yup another Medlock FG... 16-3 at the half...but not a big lead....in this league... Jones calls questionable 3rd and 3 gamble....fail. Nichols strings some more completions.... but drive stalls AGAIN down deep..... Medlock 18 yds for a 19-3 lead.... Jones goes fishing on questionable challenges.... Riders put long TD drive together and 2 point convert Blue getting very conservative on O Meanwhile....Rider receivers getting plenty of room to operate Bruce Johnson having some problems back there.... ....so is Johnny Adams... Bomber penalties set up short Rider TD drive..... ...and the 2 point convert...... 19-19.....16 point lead gone....Riders have the Mo.. Johnson still having problems in the back... Soft coverage/missed tackles on D...bring back bad memories.. Riders take ball in 3rd quarter, give up wind in 4th..... Adams gets the long awaited INT, on D..... ..some dink and dunk..sets up Medlock... ..who pushes Bombers into lead 23-19..... Collins wide open on deep pass..... Why did we cut this guy anyways?. McDuffie having coming out party as receiver... Riders drive again...Durant still getting time.... ...and ends up with 400 yds passing ... Nichols has about 350 yds himself... ...but most of it in the middle of the field.... C.J. Roberts makes great diving INT on Durant throwaway..... Bombers winning the turnover battle, yet again... Bombers move out from goal line...... ..but booming punt is not covered... as Lawrence returns it for 85 yd TD punt return.... Crapinga caps miserable game with missed PAT... Leggett runs it out of the endzone 40 yds..... Tie game 25-25 with little time left.... Couple of completions......drive stalls... ...but real tiky taky INT call on Riders keeps it going.... Jones has no challenges left...and he could of used one.... Medlock trots out for 42 yd game winning attempt RIGHT DOWN THE PIPE! GIN RIGHT DOWN MY SHIRT! 7-8 for Justin...the ole LDC curse over and done... Good thing it was the Riders..... ....we may of lost this one..to anyone else..... but points are points....wins are wins ...and gins are called for.....

At least I will never have to see our team ever take the field again, wearing that junk.

...and I want Davis to play so well, that Kolhert goes in...

Look at the Rider OL.....now look at their DL. We must win this.......

Rider have given us a better brand of satire, than I might of come up with..,...

All the Riders need at this point, is popcorn and a big top...

Dungheaping....

So this is what they meant by "loading up"

Riders: "For the good of the team, we would like you to take a pay cut" Chick: "For my own good, see ya around."

Brought in as motivational speaker.....

Jones is certainly doing a good job....of keeping his master plan, to build a champion....under a bushel basket....

Brought in to provide stability and accountability.....

Man of many talents, indeed....

Brought in to solidify the dressing room....

Brought in to kick another Bomber player, in his junk.....

Jones the ace recruiter...loading up on idiocy, at any rate. Or brilliant deflection tactic. Or has no plan, period.

After this back to back....Jones is going to wake up one morning,...and find some haybales between his sheets

Lot of things: Big uptick in import recruitment in general, this year Nichols protects the ball, while we gobble up an unreal amount of turnovers...real hard to lose games when you are winning that stat at a 6 to .75 ratio. Getting a good pass rush with just 4 or sometimes 3. (the basis of success) RH has been running a few more pressure packages. RH has also utilized the range of our LB's to really help out in his zone coverages. Having a CDN running back and a CDN starter at S.....has given us much more roster flexibility. .... like replacing Neufeld (lousy run blocker) with Bond (massive road grader) We also have managed to plug in actual competent imports in the other OL spot. Already drafted CDN's Goosen and Chung are settling in. Any OL plays better when they can run the ball and be aggressive. Knowing they have a RB who will fight for every inch, is a motivator, as well. We have a automatic FG kicker. Always get the points, when we penatrate enemy territory. Players are finally playing for MOS....instead of just talking about it.

Nichols had, like one completion longer than 15 yds.....and it was to Harris. Yeh, things are working out, but in this league....you have to stretch out the field, a hell of a lot more than that.....so defenders can't just rundown hill on this short stuff.

I give myself a star, for hanging with the gin, when I could of given up.......

Sheppard did some nice blocking work, overall....

Way too passive, too many pass plays short of the goal line.

Esks went into cruise control, way too early...and sometimes it is hard to get the MO back

Mayo has done something in 3 games now

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