Not a sterling start for the D.  10-7 Cats..

....clear sailing into the end zone.  TD.  Now 20-10 Hamilton...
Bombers really need to start to get in gear, here.....
Evans has ALL DAY to find White for 20.  Couple runs by Hills...

27-11 Cats. Good start a distant memory....as this D is struggling...
Zac finds Schoen across the middle for back to back FD's.
Leggs 33 yd FG has it at 27-14 Hamilton....
Bighill in the trail position, and missing tackles
Evans with time (again) launches it down the field.......
...as the rookie Smith runs right by a stationary Rose for long TD.
34-14  Starting to have Jim Daley flashbacks.  Gawd awful.
Micro:  Zac is sacked by 2 blitzing Tigercats.
Macro:  Bombers are getting their asses kicked.
Zac throws to OLO, for a couple of FDs.  Leggs with FG.
Evans completes to Hill and White.  No pass rush at all....
Evans runs to the 4. Evans hits White for the TD.  41-17
Screen, Hitch, Slant, Hook, Fly.....does not matter what pattern..
....Bomber D looking helpless against all of them..
Zac completes to OLO, Bailey, then OLO again....
..nice to see Orangeman getting some work....
McCrae runs up the middle to the Ham 6.
3rd down pass incomplete but offsetting penalties give Blue another chance
Zac to Bailey at the goal line.....he fights his way in for the TD!
41-31 Hamilton.  9:24 left.  Love the CFL. Really need a D stop, now
Hills runs for a FD.  Thomas-Earlington converts another.
Alexander hits head on turf and leaves under concussion protocol...
White wide open down the middle for FD.  Evans finally has pressure....
....but avoids couple of Bombers and runs for another FD.  Clock grinding away...
Hills breaks another tackle to set up yet another FD. The D tackling is atrocious...
Thomas-Earlington takes screen pass to Bomber 7.  Evans just floats one....
....into the end zone and has his 5th TD pass of the game.  48-31
Bomber D had a chance to redeem themselves on that drive.   TOTAL FAIL.
Zac over the middle and picked off.  Fitting end to a horrible day.
No rush, no coverage, no tackling....triple crown of futility.
At least the Bombers are 12-2
At least Do or Die still has plenty of gin.
