ZC does scramble early when he has been rattled a bit. But the pass pro isn't good. Who on D missed their assigment on the first play of the game? Biggie looking like he's often arriving late to the party tonite. 

Every job Barker’s had connected to the CFL gives me one thought.

“Could they not have found anyone better than this?”

So....... This isn't fun.

I don't know i like a come from behind win now and then... just didn't expect it would be the Elks

That hit on Collaros very reminiscent of Philion on Khari in 2000 playoffs...but 23 years later needs to be a call no question.

In hindsight we should have kept some of those TDs from last Thursday for today's game.

I didn't think the pass pro was bad at all tonight.  One time they blitzed 7 and got through.  Collaros is not great at getting the ball out quick which is what Edmonton is trying to force, and I'm not sure Collaros is trusting his OL too much tonight.  I think he leans on the scramble too to open things up downfield when they see lots of zone, but Edmonton schemed for that holding a rusher back to read him.

I don't think the hit on Zach was overly late or had vicious intent behind it. But I do think its the refs job to protect the QB so they should be calling these close ones. 

In 2008, Reigning MVP Tom Brady coming off a record 50 TD pass season gets hit below the knees in quarter one of the first game of 2008 and is out for the season. What rule comes into effect the next season, can't hit a QB below the news. The two time reigning MOP takes a clear RTP and no call even upon review. Bush league. I love the CFL but we're a ******* bush league at times.

And the first contact is arm/shoulder to QB's head.  Should be an easy one.  Guy is already on turf and without ball, so can't say he might be live, can't say "oh I was blocking him because we had the ball."

Was hit to head...we have seen hands that just grazed a helmet get called...bs non call

Brown is a stud, I’ve said it for ages. That was an excellent drive.

I love Streveler as much as any Bomber fan but Brown has got so much more potential as a passer in my view. 

I hope we take wind in 4th and not the ball to start.  Long game.

If nothing else this is great experience for Brown

Brown is already leagues ahead of Streveler as a passer.  Streveler just has that unique running skill with some passing savvy.

It was a clear RTP. Read the rule.

Play 30 minutes of real Winnipeg Blue Bomber football and head home with the win.

I don't care whether the hit on Collaros was late or not, it was 100% a head shot and shout be RTP every time. 

I haven't seen those called much this year. I honestly think it's collaros Fault so yeah... regardless of rule they don't normally follow

And that's why you come up to catch the ball.  Lose 10 yards there.

Yeah even if he knocked it out of bounds

Collaros and Woli both under concussion protocol by the looks of it. And Schoen, shook it off but had to be seeing atars.

Wind is no joke tnite 

No surprise that ZC is done for the night

Don't mind running with brown here.

Anyone notice the panel barely talked about Brown?
