The dark clouds parted....and the sun shone through....

....perhaps some sort of omen?  Perhaps not......

...as BC drove 95 yds in about 8 minutes, for opening TD...

Bombers started of with the usual dumb penalties.....

Lions returned the favor with 3 in a row, on next series...

Hurry-up O and play action gave the Blue D some early problems...

Willy runs for 30 yards!....then hangs in the pocket, drawing PI call....

...which sets up Veltung's first TD catch....

Harris, as usual...BC workhorse...is there any back more versatile?

Willy converts some more 2nd and longs....with yet, more running...

...finishing up with 70 yds running the ball....

...while making a statement.... to his teammates....

10 - 7 BC at the half....but didn't feel like the Bombers were down....

Blue proceeded to prove it.... outscoring Lions 16-3 in 2nd half....

Willy hits D. Adams with perfect seam throw...

...as Adams beats 2 DB's for for 60 catch and run TD..

...his 4 -125 .... continues his coming out party...

How many officials does it take to make a call, these days?  About 6.

Strange fake punt by Bombers .......on a 3rd and 20....

Still some dumb penalties on S-teams ...

Some erratic directional punting from Lirim, tonight.....

Hall and the D, made some adjustments....Lions had 3 points in 2nd half....

...forcing Lulay into 3 big picks.....

Bass made a ton of plays at OLB...

Hurl came out of the doghouse.... with a pick and a bunch of tackles.....

J. Adams had a great diving pick..... and a huge hit on Harris....

2 monster plays late.... from Demond Washington....

....a knockdown on 2nd down from the Bomber 10 yd line....

...and a game clinching INT, with under 2 minutes to go....

Cam Marshall carried the mail, down the stretch....

...and is making the case for more playing time at RB....

Drew Willy is the leader of this bunch.....

See? the Bombers can win at home...

See? the Bombers can win on a short week...

See? DOD can gin on a long weekend....

Johnny Adams is so good. Only going to get better.

J. Adams looked like the deal, even during X-season. Thought Collins and Gibson added something, last night.  Also looked like Hall was sneaking in some man coverages, after showing zone.

Adams is an absolute stud DB. That unnecessary roughness penalty in the first half was complete BS... I love this guy.

Westerman has shaken the rust off and he is a beast. He is also always coaching guys up.

Bass reminds me of Barrin Simpson, and had a great game.

It is only a matter of time before Gibson is racking up sacks, he reminds me of John Bowman.

Some huge additions to this D that will continue to get better.

Exciting times.

 

 

What prompted the unnecessary roughness call?  I completely missed it ..  I know Adams looked confused .. "What did I do?" type thing .. just never saw what he actually did .. 

I wish Dunigan did more colour... Best guy on TSN

It only takes a win to get the conversation going all rainbows and sunny skies. After the last couple of weeks I  wasn't sure there was any of that stuff left in anybody.

 

I know it sounds weird but even during the first drive I was feeling a bit positive. All the plays were short and the defense never collapsed like it had in the past. Once the BB moved the ball a bit after that I could see that the team wasn't down and that they could come back. In the past an opening drive for a touchdown at home would have deflated the team a bit.

He jammed his guy off the line and then gave a pretty standard shot a second or two later, I think even after the pass... Very weak call. Followed by a BS call on roughing the kicker.

Veltung has to stay in the line up.

I didn't get a good look at the roughing the kicker play. The announcer just sort of said Well... and then they went to something else. ( I watched this game from the comfort of my dry couch). I know I should have been out there yellling in the rain. 

Dunnigan stated he didn't think the roughing the kicker was a good call.  And it's true.  The kicker falls back and he basically jumped over his foot.

Seriously, accuse me of overreacting, but J. Adams is the best DB we've had since Juran Bolden.

It was a bs call. Contacting the kicker. I saw it more as the kicker just falling on his own. Newman didn't touch him.

Contacting the kicker is such a BS call sometimes even when you do make contact.  To me, you need to actually knock him over or hit his leg for it to be contact.  If one guys jersey grazes his foot...that's not contacting the kicker.

 

...and in this case, if Newman grazes the air bubble around the kicker...

 

 

 

 

Cotton seemed to disappear in this one.....made himself really visible when he messed up a hand off...Marshall on the other hand is definitely coming into his own.....Veltung is another receiving threat....This club has a huge potential to grow and will soon give the top clubs in the west something to worry about.

 

I think we should stop starting 2 Canadian receivers and start 4 International Moore, Denmark, Adams and Veltung plus 2 big backs with Marshall and Scott will make Willy's job a lot easier.

 

1 big back is plenty. I don't know why you have taken a dislike to Paris Cotton but he's still a good runningback. Very explosive and very dangerous. When paired with a guy like Marshall you have the potential for a pretty dynamic running game. 

 

 

Since his good game on the first week, he's been regressing. I am a fan of Cotton, but if it doesn't work (now) a change has to be  made. Look at the Pat Neufeld change it made a difference to the game last night.

 

The change is giving Marshall more work. As a change of pace guy Cotton is a great option. 2 bigger backs isn't a change of pace. I've never seen a point in having 2 backs of the same type on the roster. You want someone who can bring a different dynamic to the offense. I will also disagree that Cotton wasn't working but that's a different debate. 

 

 

I liked how the swing/screen pass to Cotton was working early in the game.  As it was working, in true MB fashion, we immediately stopped doing it.

Effing auto correct and fully valid on calling me out on it haha

You got me before the edit!

I know who Juran Bolden is...otherwise I'd have been really confused by JBR's handle...

I feel like BC went to the hurry up to combat the crowd. Which seems contradictory.

Do they run no huddle a lot?

Yeah the careless typo was mine. I would have done the same thing.

I assure you I know the name of the Predator.

Haha

Lulay looked as confused as an American tourist in the middle of Beijing last night.  It was obvious the Lions hadn't prepared for the noise.  Way to go Winnipeg fans!

 Lulay calls a lot of audibles and with the crowd noise that just wasn't going to work very well.

Yeah there were a lot of communication issues for the BC offence.

Yeah I only saw it after you edited it, so when I saw the Gif from KBF, I thought he was actually taking a shot at Juran Bolden jokingly, hence my comment.  Didn't even re-read it in KBF's post to notice.

Lulay calls a lot of audibles and with the crowd noise that just wasn't going to work very well.

Which makes the hurry up more confusing to me.

Seemed like they wanted to not let the crowd reset, but it didn't work, and was obvious it wasn't working from the beginning.

Agree. Things are out of whack here. We need some balance. 

 

Paging   "Walters can't find decent American talent, Mack was better at that" crowd.

 

 

Another important result of this game… Brohm v. Marve gone for now.
