Winnipeg Blue Bombers

This time by catching an absolute missile from Collaros over the middle and romping into end zone with a 16-yard touchdown grab. A couple plays later, running back Ka’Deem Carey punched it in from two yards out. 18-17 Calgary following an unsuccessful two point conversion. With just over four minutes left, Collaros tossed a 25-yard bomb to the back of the end zone for Schoen. The rookie hauled in his second touchdown of the game to give his team a 32-28 lead in the final minutes. On the ensuing Blue Bomber drive, Demski struck again. The 38-yarder gave Calgary an early 6-0 lead.

The 7-0 Bombers roll into the 4-1 Calgary Stampeders - after having what I believe was Winnipeg's worst game of the season. But do not call them lucky for ...

If you have been watching the Bombers this season you know that they are not abandoning the run. Yell and scream at your television or from your seat in the stands all you want – I know you have – but they are not going to give up on the run. At last possible instant releases the ball to find a Bomber receiver playing back to the quarterback. In the CFL a big play is one that is 30 or more yards. The Bombers have shown that a chink in their armor is explosions plays. However, they have not come out of a bye week and faced the best team in the CFL over the last two seasons. They can use the bye week to look at their opponent’s game the week before. In the last meeting Ka’Deem Carey had 12 carries for 110 yards. However, if that is Calgary’s strategy they are not going to glean much insight from watching Winnipeg’s Week 7 game against the Elks. About the only thing they are going to learn is that Winnipeg is a really good team that can win even when they have a pretty bad game. Lets all agree on one thing, neither the Bombers nor the Stampeders are going to play as bad as they did in their last game. They will get some later season byes to get healthy where as Calgary has already had two bye weeks. Those that are Calgary fans will point to that other game against Winnipeg and say, ‘Calgary will not play that bad again.’ They also might look at Winnipeg’s game in Week 7 and say, ‘Winnipeg definitely looks beatable’” Does anyone else see an error in that logic?

Paredes then booted his fourth field goal of the game, this time from 38 yards out, before Liegghio responded with a 12-yarder of his own with just 37 seconds remaining in the first half. After Paredes opened the second quarter with his record-setting field goal, Demski responded with a 10-yard touchdown catch to cap off a six-play, 70-yard drive by the Bombers. Led by Collaros, the Bombers responded with a 10-play, 70-yard scoring drive that Demski capped off by catching a four-yard touchdown pass in the end zone with 33 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

It was billed as a heavyweight showdown between the best two teams in the CFL.

They scored field goals on their first four drives. At that point, their drives seemed to just die. Article content Collaros seemed to carve the Stamps defence up in those situations on Saturday, and it didn’t sit well with linebacker Jameer Thurman. All the Stamps can do now is try to learn and get better. Article content It is worth noting that the Stamps gave the Bombers a fight. Go watch some film but use it to your advantage, they’re one of the better coached football teams, so obviously anything they’re doing against you they’re picking up on film, so they’re showing you what your deficiencies are.

Billed as the Game of the Season by many CFL fans, Saturday night's Winnipeg Blue Bombers-Calgary Stampeders tilt at McMahon Stadium did not disappoint, ...

“Y’all can crown it right now if you want to, but they’re not going to be the Grey Cup champions today. If they’re that well coached, they’re going to show you what you’re not good at.” On Saturday night, there were costly mistakes like offsides, missed tackles, and drops that, should the Stampeders ascend to Winnipeg’s level, it will have to eliminate. He finished with 270 yards and four touchdowns, despite receiver Greg Ellinsgon remaining out of the lineup due to injury. I’m not down on our players at all.” Instead, it was Winnipeg who made the statement.
