Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) And the skinny from our man Tait: Scene setter: The Blue Bombers (7-2) and Stampeders (3-6) reached the midway point of the season last week moving in opposite directions. Winnipeg is on a three-game heater since the shocking collapse in Ottawa, including last week’s 38-29 win in Edmonton in which Dru Brown came off the bench to throw for 300 yards and four TDs – erasing a 22-0 deficit in the process. The Stamps, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four, including last week’s 37-9 mauling by the B.C. Lions. The big news heading into this one is Brown getting the start for Zach Collaros, who did not practice all week.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Stamps PR team couldn't find photos of Stampeder vet Marken Michel and CFL vet Mike Moore for their depth chart?

BigBlueFanatic Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Nice cool weather for a smash mouth football game. Pundits keep pumping Awe’s tires while the Brady-train already crushed their LB core earlier this year. If the score is close, looking to Dru to plunge the dagger Zach-style in the late stages.

captaincanuck12 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 That game against Calgary when it was here was a bit of a dud tbh. I don't think any team was particularly dominant. Brady O got many of his yards in the 4th quarter. Prior to that, neither offence looked particularly good. Anyways, hope the boys come out firing on all cylinders, and Dru has another great game! #forthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last weeks failure with the refs, CC, and whatever is responsible for dispensing fines... I am wholly expecting them to be making sure to be looking the other way or literally staring at a heinous unnecessary roughness play... and just stare right through the blatant penalty. I have ZERO faith in the officiating. rebusrankin, BigBlueFanatic and Bubba Zanetti 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard....and gotta look into it further, but when you seem to score more points, give up less than you score, generally you win...if you don't then I think something is wrong with something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I'm not starting anything here but the o sure looked efficient last week with Dru at the helm. Outside of the bc ass whooping I'd say the most efficient all year Again not starting anything but I'm curious if Zach tends to improvise more than Dru. Again zach is the man tho Edited August 18, 2023 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again zach is the man tho I have said this to a few people and they agreed. Zach does try to do to much. The guy has brought 2 Grey Cups so I'm not going to crap on him too hard, but it is evident he tries to make plays happen. Last week that interception from Purifoy was completely unnecessary. It's just the competitive man he is and I am glad he is our QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the Collaros magic: play breaks down and Zach pulls a rabbit outta thin air. Bonus: Every time you play that clip- an Angel get's it's wings.

Troy Kopp leading the comeback to beat the Riders for win 1 was sweet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
