Bombers need to pad this lead before half...  defence is doing its job

Esks are gonna get desperate and go bombs away. gotta win some upcoming 50/50 balls

 

Wow, no points.  Brutal.

Nichols is skipping like crazy... that wasn't a designed screen - that was a panicked dump off

That’s inexcusable from Medlock. 

Give Streveler the ball here with this field position!

The 2 play calls before that were inexcusable by Lapo.

Geez from the mood in here you'd think we're down 20.

Nice pick by Loffler.

I don't think I've seen a half where we've had better field position to start drives

It’s true and we have 10 bloody points to show for it.

Don’t disagree with you. 

Should be up by 24 right now... not mad, just disappointing they can't convert with this field position

Maybe Nichols needs to change a play at the line if he doesn't like what he sees.  But that never happens

nice shovel to dressler

Not the NFL.  That's tomorrow.

Is that sweep considered a run or a pass?

Lapo remembered that Dressler was playing

That's a pass because it was a forward pass.  If it's a hand-off it's a run.

That's the Lapo we like...  where have you been friend?

Really need to get through these last two minutes without a Reilly big play...

Glad Edmonton believes in guys like Boateng and Konar.  Helps our offense, because they suck something awful, especially vs the run.

omfg its Hall's last minute prevent D...  please no.

That's some nice coverage by Randle...

I'll take 17-3 at the half in Edmonton.  Defence and special teams look outstanding. Nichols still a little shaky but he's playing the role of game manager and at this point I think that's about the best we can expect.

Not sure why MOS didnt take the penalty and push Edm back 5 yards? Unless the angle for the 3 points would of been easier back 5.....

17-3 isn't bad, but after what happened in BC earlier this season, I'm definitely not holding my breath yet.
