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.

That's unnecessary roughness, but a guy jumping on the QB's head is no penalty.

As bad as that call is…. It’s equally as bad that Osh didn’t challenge it.

 

Okay, it’s nowhere near as bad, but he needs to challenge that.

Hakuna Matata with the drop wide.open for a TD.

Sometimes I think Osh is a little to laid back on the sidelines

And the mediocrity continues.....

Wooow we are playing to lose 

If Maier wasn’t so awful this game could be long over

Why the **** do we not challenge that 

Wasn’t called PI, called UR. I don’t think you can challenge that on a non QB. 

Are they sure that wasn't a catch?

They ran into each other going for the ball.

Holm ducked his head to not hit him. Wow. Can’t challenge UR I guess?

I can not imagine this team ever being as good as it was in the gc years with hall buck and mos here.

That was catch....unfortunately 

And, the game just got jobbed from us by the refs... how is it UR on holm when he is going for the ball... 

The command centre can eat my shorts

Wouldn’t command Center not review that? 

TD to win. Pounce time. Tiger style

Honestly plays like that the cc should step in and correct it with out a challenge. 

That’s two weeks in a row now coach doesn’t throw his challenge flag and it cost us points.

Goes without saying but if the O doesn't wake up we will not win. D is starting to get a little leaky

Frustrating game. Its there and we're currently fritering  it away.

Who will not be heard from again.

Holm hit him on the arm and Begelton whipped his head around. Brutal. The refs love having an influence on the game.

They should but…

Mine too 

Osh is not a good technical football coach. He's a good culture setter and leader.

 

No way DD misses that challenge on the Holm play.
