do or die Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Need to start winning at this barn..... Lankford takes opening kickoff....reverses field... ...bounces it to the short sideline.... ...and tightropes his way free....to 104 yd TD. I may give him another chance...after all.... Coombs takes deflected pass past Heath for 40 yds..... ...sets up Argo FG.....7-3 Blue... Bomber O still doing its thing in 1st quarters.... ...which is nothing at all.... M. Jackson busts return on Medlock short punt.... ...and does his own tippy toe...75 yds to a TD...by a shoelace.. Blue throwing horizontal passes to players standing still....again... Yet another short sideliner on 2nd down....drawing some boos, already. 27 yds of offense and 1 first down in the 1st (sigh) Moe Leggett picks off pass over the middle... to kill Argo drive... Harris running hard....making the yards after contact... Sears gets IC penalty.....more Harris running....sets up FG. S.J. Green great catch over Alexander....sets up Argo FG... Dressler slants through Argo zone for 40 yd gain.... Nichols hits a couple more passes.....Harris in from the 4... 17 -13 Bombers....this one starting to look like a grinder.... That Jackson fella takes Medlock punt all the way back for TD.. ...but illegal block puts it at the Blue 30.... Ray has a corner pattern dropped....then Whitaker drops one... ...on the goal line with no Bomber within 15 yds of him. Argo FG. Jackson is at it AGAIN....busts another kick return....65 yds... ..only some terrific speed from Walker, prevents TD... MOS trying to figure out what the hell is... with the kick coverage... Bomber D hold again...Liram H. boots another short FG... Blue go into hurry-up O.....Sears gets tic-tack IC call.. Medlock lines up for a 56 yd attempt....pounds it right down the pipe... ...and it had about 10 yds to spare....just awesome. Ray completes some passes....another sticky catch from AC Green... LH closes out the half with another FG for Argos Ray may be 37....but still throws the nice, easy ball...... Westerman is having his most active game of year, so far.... ...the penalties are getting pretty tiresome, though.... Long Argo drive eating up the clock....and gets them another FG. Coombs having a productive game for the Double Blue.... 25-20 Argos. Bomber D is hanging in there.....need some offense.... Bombers keep taking ball at 35.... Our O throws that short out pass....like nobody's business.... Bombers start a long drive.....convert some 2nd downs..... Face mask on Adams moves it to the 5....Harris punches it in on 2nd down.. Blue up 27-25....tide is turning.... Another 100+ yd night for Dressler....clutch player.. Argo D starting to wear down.....M. Ball slams helmet on ground for 15... Nichols is then low bridged for another major.... Argos then get bad PI against Denmark.....but it is overturned on review.... Not sure I know what the officials are doing out there, tonight..... Not sure they know either.... Medlock makes 27th field goal....in a row....to make it 30-25 Bombers... Nevis stuffs Whitaker on short 2nd down play.... Ray has less time for 2nd and 3rd options....and is taking some hits... This Johnson fella at DT gets big time push, right up the gut..... More Bomber receivers getting involved in the offense.... ...and Nichols is hitting them now... Seems like Harris has broken 101 tackles, tonight...... Bombers now taking over this game...physically, at the LOS.... O gets off a long drive, eating up clock....Medlock makes it 33-25... Players on the D...putting up their hands for noise...and getting plenty of it.... Ray completing passes under plenty of duress...down to the 20 yd line..... 3 attempts go incomplete! Bomber ball! Nichols throws bomb attempt on 2nd and 5....eyebrows go up all over the place... Argos have it with 50 seconds left..... Heath jumps A.J. Green and picks off his 2nd of the night.....GAME OVER.. This guy plays a different position but reminds me of Rod Hill....a ball magnet... This D may be starting to get it together.....lots of good performances all round... Alexander and Walker have been solid. Roc was not picked on tonight.... D-line came on real strong, Loffler more active, tonight.... Jeffcoat didn't look out of place, either.... Knox got a workout...trying to deal with all the valve passes his way.... The O needs work.....especially getting out of the gate (still) ...but 27 first downs, O turnovers and 0 sacks.... Bombers needed the win much more....than I needed the gin... ...but we will both take it. ALuCsRED, Mark H., Rich and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanger Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 It was a crazy game no doubt. Medlock is worth every penny that 56 yarder was absolutely hammered. A bad route and a couple of drops in the first half really had Nichols spitting nails. Sorry to see that person missing out on a million. I think the CFL really kills the game when they have to review every freakin play. The review of our touchdown to start the game took forever. Those plays are exciting and will bring fans to the games. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Before the game I heard so much about the Argo D line, Bear Woods, Argo veteran DB..... Westwood worried, MBB posters worried. Confidence in the Blue is a bit on the thin side. I just listened on the radio, but the impression from that is that the only receiver we have that can consistently get open is Dressler.

I'm glad that we showed up and the team put a full effort, but it was definitely a dangerous game going into it.

Fatty Liver Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) That was a typical lunch bucket effort last night from Nichols and Harris on down and it fit in very closely with the way they won games last year, which seems to be their method. Not a spectacular team but they can get it done on any given night if they outwork their opponent and limit their own mistakes.

deepsixemtoboyd Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Out in Fort Frances at a cottage on an island with the fan… So only able to watch the first 3/4 – not quite even - at BP. :-) What I loved, though, and I thought it was the turning point up till that point in the game was the long TD drive back end of the third-quarter, where Nichols and the O really answered after a similarly long field goal drive by Ray and the double blue. That was big-time, my friends! Bigblue204 and Mr Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a hard fought battle in hostile territory coming off the bye week (the first win by a week 1 bye team since 2014). Stealing a win in OT by their skin of their hides was a nerve-wracking affair. I can't agree the Bombers barely beat the Argonauts, though. The second half was a dominant effort and a convincing win, holding what's been a pretty potent offense to a measly FG. No barely about it, IMO.

Actually the Riders lost to Montreal in Week 1, there are 1-2 right now. Sorry to be so picky, but I can't stand when people pretend the Riders are better than they actually are... even when it is by mistake.

Tracker Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 As nice as it was to win last night, and desperately needed, neither Adams nor Washington should sign long-term leases on apartments. It wasn't a banner game for Denmark, either. We need better from our import receivers, but Feoli-Gudino looked like he belongs in the CFL despite a dropped pass.

Made some clutch plays in 2014. Barely sees the field in the next two years, keeps working hard, plays ST's, and all he does is make plays when called upon. I'm glad he's getting a bigger role in the offense. Fred C Dobbs, Fatty Liver, GCJenks and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
