2018 CFL Season

[Mowich]

11:56 Jimmie Jones is challenging that there was FPI on the last play against Brandon Banks and he wins the challenge - Ham at the 52 ........Jeremiah on the run unable to complete the pass to Luke.......2 and 10 with just over 10 minutes to go in the game.

 

[Mowich]

Well it took Luke's toe-mark in the turf to over-time the ruling of incomplete pass on the last play but the Cat's still come up short and have to kick the ball away - down by six in the 4th

 

[Mowich]

7:42 Huge completion from Jeremiah to Green who caps off the drive with a run to the end zone for the Cat's 4th major of the game. Cats go for 2 - Tasker up to the job as per and Hamilton now has a commanding 33 - 19 lead with just over 6 to go in the final Q.

Jeremiah just tied Hank for the most 300-yard games in a single season.


Lirim good from the 49 and the Cats increase their lead by another 3 points just prior to the 3-minute warning.


Great drive by the Argos finds them in the end zone for their 3rd TD of the game. They miss on the 2-point convert attempt but have moved up to trail Ham by 11 points with just over 2 minutes left in the game.

 

[Mowich]

Ham's Brooks intercepts Bethel-Thompson who was backed up on the Argo's own 5-yard line - takes the ball to the 2..........and the Cats are taking the knee in victory formation as they let the clock wind down to end the game.

Great game by my all-time favorite Eastern team. Rock on Cats.

Final: 36 - 25


And we are off to Winnipeg............Let the Game Begin!



GO RIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mowich]

Our D is letting the side down on this first Bomber drive......still haven't figured out how to stop Andrew Harris...........Elam steps up to prevent another first D and the Bombers are forced to go for a FG which Justin nails. Bombers on the board first with 3.

 

[Mowich]

Zach finds Rosie for a six-yard gain.........But ? has the ball knocked away and the Riders go 2 and out.

 

[Mowich]

Bombers start at their own 30............Matt finds his receiver for the first D...........then our D goes to work and shuts the Bombers down on the next two plays forcing them to kick at 7:53 in the 1rst Q. Ah shit.............never like to see a player taken off the field on a stretcher.......but it looks like Winnipeg Blue Bomber receiver has suffered a neck injury.


Zach finds Evans for the D........Mason gets another one on the ground......Marcus gets us another 6 or so......make that 2 and 3..............Mason lunges across for the D.......glad to see Jonsie wearing his Green Diversity T again today...........hopefully it will continue to bring good luck to the team........nope, they were short by inches but get it on the next play..........oops, Bombers read that play well as they tackle our receiver behind the line of scrimmage and Zach is forced to go long on 2 and 16 but misses his target while almost being intercepted.........Josh gets a good kick away and the STs get a big stop on the return

 

[Mowich]

Bombers 2 and 18 from their own 15, Harris gets the ball but the D comes up big and stops him way short of the D.....Medlock out to kick.............Riders have great field position at the 50 and on the first play of the series Zach throws the ball right into the hands of Winnipeg's Gaitor who finds the end zone for the TD. Bombers go ahead 10 zip with only a minute thirteen left in the 1rst.

 

[Mowich]

Mason gets us 7 ...........then Rosie somehow fails to secure the ball and we're 2 and out ...........again.

 

[petros]

It doesn't sound good. I'm glad I'm not watching.

 

[Mowich]

Were I not aware of the team's ability to come from behind, I might be a tad concerned right now especially as we do not have home advantage and Winnipeg fan's are just as lusty in support of their team. Oh, oh.......Chris has got his sunglasses back on.............


Washington just got huge reception to start off the Bomber series and our Elam gifted them another 15 when he was called for a FM penalty.

 

[Mowich]

Willie Jefferson just intercepted Matt and took the ball all the way for the TD!!!!!...........and he had fun doing it as he skipped laterally across the field on his way with all the defenders safely in his wake............it was grand thing to see and just the spark the team needed. WTG Willie!

 

[Mowich]

He started from the Winnipeg 15 yard line on his romp to the end zone.

 

[petros]

Ugly penalties.

 

[Mowich]

The score looks a lot better now at 10 - 7 for the Blue and Gold.............oooh Brooks just drew an OC penalty for taking out a ref while trying to get at Harris...........Demski can't handle the pass ......2 and 10 ...................oh fps ..........Ed Gainey intercepts Matt but the Riders have the ball taken away due to a RTP call.........that just burns my butt something fierce.......on video review it was a pretty sucky call...............so I'm not holding against our guy.........our D bounces right back to force the Bombers to kick on 3 and 10.......... Moore is taken down around the 7 yard line................long field for the Riders.


Zach finds Rosie close to the first down marker but the D is flagged again for an IBD(illegal block downfield)....... Zach will throw from around our 2 yard line...........overthrows his receiver on the next pass......and there is yet another flag on the play.........we're called for a time-count violation and we are already in our end zone..........Randle almost intercepts Zach...........Bartel kicks the ball out....???...........Bombers in immediate FG position and gain another 20 or so on the return.

Harris into the red zone on first play of the series..............but is stopped behind the line for a loss...........flag on next play..........and of course we are called for ICOR(illegal contact on a receiver)...............Demski makes it to the 1 yard line ..................Steveler in on short-yardage ...........Riders hold fast but are called for OS and Steveler doesn't miss on his second attempt.

6:44 in the 2nd Q: 17 - 7 Bombers

 

[Mowich]

Someone's on our side..............Zach just got picked but the Bombers were nailed with a 15-yard penalty and we retain possession of the ball.............thank you Universe.........Williams-Lambert with a couple gets us to the Bomber 9........Zach misses his target..........flag on the play........we're tagged with holding......3 and 8 and Lauther comes out and puts another 3 on the board with a chip shot from the 17.



Willie comes up big again...........forcing Winnipeg to punt after he knocks down Matt Nicols pass........on 2 and 10, Nicols under pressure tosses a nice little interception into the hands of our receiver.............Bombers hit with a 15-yard OC penalty.............Zach misses Rosie as he's hit throwing the ball.........Mason comes up a just short of the D and Lauther will come out to attempt a 37- yard FG that he puts it right down main street - as Rod Black just opined.


Bombers moving the ball downfield .............Riders flagged with a FM penalty..............and on the next play.........Eguavoan comes up with the pick........flag on the play ........Elam charged with an IB......O'Shea challenging that there was PI on the play...........outcome will determine who has the ball..........and he wins the challenge.............Winnipeg ball at Sask 7 yard line........OMG............Eguavoan.........just intercepted Nicols and took the ball all the way back for a TD......and Boo Birds are out in force at Investment Field.

 

[Mowich]

20 - 17 RIDERS!................and we aren't even finished the half!

 

[petros]

Wow. I'm packing it in to catch the 2nd half.

 

[Mowich]

This time the ball was taken at the 9 yard line of the Bombers and run all the way back...........a true thing of beauty that............the crowd is much more subdued now............that's a good thing for the Riders

 

[Mowich]

Wow. I'm packing it in to catch the 2nd half.

Once again the D is saving our butts, pete.......mind you they seem to be doing their best to help the Bombers too...........but I forgive them if they keep making plays that end in TDs.
