Odds and Sods - Game 16 Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Ottawa Red Blacks

Raining...slick field...

ST continues its big play mode....

Wild forces fumble....Castillo recovers own KO

But deep handoff on 3 and 1...Blue stuffed on said wet field

Just one more moronic call on O...

RB's say thank you....

...and drive 95 yds for TD on their first possession....

Burris having easy pitch and catch session, for first half...

Nichols overthrowing....happy feet....looks bad...

One first down on O, in opening quarter....

Ottawa O - quick tempo, spreading field, quick passing...

Bomber O - slow tempo, all passing in front of DB's

Wild playing well....but only takes part of the snaps...

Marshall only guy doing anything on O.....

But Bombers seem to lose track of him, for long stretches...

While D. Scott accomplishes nothing.... except a fumble....

Tony Burnett had a forced fumble and a sack....as part of rotation....

the FB lining up as WR....very tricky, no?    No.

Bombers D gave up ton of yds...but good in red-zone...

Hurl not that quick in pursuit.....

Too many missed tackles after the catch, overall.....

Bucknor still the opposition's go-to guy....

Blue Offense had all those popguns snapping....

..ZERO points..3 first downs and 34 passing yds in 1st half....

16-0 Red Blacks at the half...with 21 minutes TOP!

Bombers come out with 65 yd TD drive....

...as they discover that when Marshall is involved....

...Nichols can run play action and half rolls.....

...and complete some passes...

Too bad 3 of them went to the Red Blacks.....

..including 2 to (sigh) Jovon Johnson....

Overall, pass pro not bad....

Goossen looking pretty good...

Bomber D runs out of gas in last 3 minutes...

Ottawa gets long TD drive to go up 27-9

Bombers get a face saving drive for late TD...

Then Ottawa gets cute and turns it over on downs....

Nichols hits Denmark for TD....with 30 seconds left

...some more lipstick for this pig.....

Down 27-24...short kick miracle?

...it goes 10 yds...RB's recover...no rabbit in hat.....

Pretty good 60 minutes from special teams, tonight...

..too bad D and O can't do the same....

..as yet another disastrous 1st half...puts Blue behind 8-ball

....and puts playoff spot in dire jeopardy...

...and puts my liver at risk as well....

  • I'd give O'Shea another year. Bellefeuille needs to go. It becomes clearer every game that he's the problem.

  • We retained Marcel, for this year.   Big mistake.   We didn't dump him early in this season.   Despite the total futility, we didn't dump him mid-season, deciding to ride out the year with him.  

  • That may be a lack of depth, but if you think Stoudermire being in the game is a main cause of our offence sucking, then I have some news for you.

Nichols said that Ottawa came out in more zone, instead of their mostly man D.   Oh the humanity!  Man the Lifeboats!

 

Bottom line.....how many of "those" first halfs....have we seen from this offense.  

 

The joke (Marcel) is clearly on us

 

I can accept that as an excuse for the first drive or two, but not the first half.

Well, our O, does lead the league in excuses.....and garbage time....

 

 

Joe Mack was not the president or CEO, that was Garth Buchko.

 

 Oops...fair enough.  They probably could have switched jobs with each other at any time, and no one would have known the difference anyways!

To be fair it probably too Marcel until halftime to realize they were playing zone.
