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.

Hardrick punching but leaves his feet behind.

Buck seems adverse to sticking with what’s working tonight. 

I’m thinking we just keep running the ball until they demonstrate they can stop Brady.. Like why even throw on first down? When Brady’s picking up for 5, 7, 12 yards each run?

Curious… is that not illegal contact (or PI) on Roberson? He blocks Lawler from getting back to the ball, I realize he has equal right to the ball but that seemed too early.

This game is boring 

Attaboy Willy!  Get in McCheeses grill.

Willie J forced that one

How do you not call that hold on Willie?  Easy sack without it.

Maire’s form really sucks.

Great play by Kramdi to make sure they don't get 3rd and short.

We need a return

The old Skydome/low crowd wide angle shot doesn’t help. 
Looks like watching USports.

His pump fakes are elite though!

Hallett with the hero play. 

I assume he was pleading with the ref for a call.

They need to track pressures. 

Time to take McCrae off punt returns even though the no yards penalty would of saved him

McCrae is going to play himself off the roster if he can’t learn to catch a punt. 

We need a returner.

Put Houston or Holm back there.  At least they'll catch it in this shitty wind game.

Great way to kill clock when we should be driving for a score 

Don't go to the well too many times with the inside pitch.  Someone in red will be waiting on it.

And Parker can’t seem to get a helmet….  Ugh.

He saw the coverage was there. Short kick, go get it/the penalty. Smart play

Some one send the concussion spotter to check on buck please.
