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.

Wow. That was some BS, right there.

Sometimes a simple run is your best play but the Bombers have gone away from that

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

They idolize angel Hernandez

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

And Holm stays calm. Pro.

Brown just tripled his yardage

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

This time it cost us. About freaking time a bomber caught a decent pass.

Let brown play now. Run the ball. 

I assume they'll call it against Winnipeg because they got a first down.

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

If that is true it is a joke.

Are we that unconfidant in our return game we won't take a kick?

Eli is a big boi
