West Semifinal - Bombers @ Riders - Sunday 4:30 pm EST

O’Shea waddling his way into the match.

Not taking returns after rider field goals a smart move - Bombers have very little in the way of a return game, both via runners and blocking!

I can see Bud Grant inserting Chris “Twister” Streveler into the game if Nichols continue to get sacked. Bombers need some energy coming off the QB spot - as the rider d-line seems to be over-powering the bomber o-line (so far)

but

can’t see O’Shea doing same - he’s gonna stick w/ Nichols thru thick or thin!

Bombers look as if they are starting to get into a rhythm offensively.

Looks like it’s going to be a close one.

riders on the move, good drive so far

oops spoke to soon

I do expect a close, and low-scoring game but i think - even given the home team field (and/or) crowd advantage - that the Bombers take this one - especially when Zach isn’t playing.

But then I thought the Ticats/Leos game would be close and low scoring so what do I know? :wink: :smiley:

Nice pick by Fogg. One of his specialties!

Montcrief is down - but maybe not for long.

Streveler on the field for a change of pace.

TD Wolitarsky. 13-6 lead for the Blue

Better game than Game 1… :wink:

4 pt bomber lead w/ 1:40 to go in 1st half

This is usually where O’Shea goes array

Will his offense be able to kill the half?

Or just barf up a quick 2 'n out and let the riders have a final drive?

They seem to be moving the ball and Wolitarsky appears to be his favourite target. Figures since I put Adams in my fantasy lineup! ::slight_smile:

Cool. I’m just saying that lossing ZC isn’t a game changer. Infact I’d say the Bombers losing JSK is a bigger loss.

AT least we got a game this time!

I can throw more accurately than Bridge.

The SRR will need a Special Team’s miracle to score a TD.

Good cold weather game. SSK fans and stadium look awesome. Wish Collaros was playing but Go Blue!

Too bad it had to be used.

Or something like that! Jones thinks he can win without a decent QB and with a strong D. I don’t think he can but I guess we’ll see.
He did have a good case for his challenge there - certainly a more clear cut case of DPI than the flag tossed on Leonard (I think) in the end zone of the Hamilton game.

It was as close to a guaranteed challenge as you will find and he had to take it.

I just wish it could have been used at a better time.
