Against maybe the worst team in CFL history

Double down on being wrong classic. 
Just the facts jack
17/24   307   4   1

Haha, I admit Dru was better than 25%.  I think he shocked the entire league tonight, looking like he might be ready for primetime.

And we didn't run it much when the game was on the line.  In any event, EDM worst run D couldn't stop our run when they had to.  So that's less of a strategy call than a failure to execute by EDM.

I'll stand by having a spy.  How many yards for Ford?  Just see what teams who employ a spy have done to Crum vs what we did.  Same with Ford: teams will employ a spy.  MOS seems to hate spies as some kind of hill to die on.

So I'll eat half a pie of crow.  Well, maybe 2/3rds.

He ran the ball all game consistently.

Admitting the 1st step.  Spy leaves you venerable elsewhere, not needed today. 3 pieces of crow pie min lol

did you watch the game....dru threw it where heis recievers could go get it..the defender on the lawler catch couldnt have played it better. Aslo Dru's composure when protection broke down was great!

Facts are presented above.  Guess they need to watch again.

He did it all.  Came back from huge deficit.  Handed ball of great, scrambled, pocket passing, quick release,threw on run.  Calm, no happy feet.

Really enjoy reading your posts, particularly the analysis on the plays and schemes (especially during the game itself!). But it's going to take you a while to live this one down.  

It was a fun amount of banter.  Yes he will need to regroup   when you win like this even crow pot pie is good lol.  Thanks for the fun get everyone.  #1d hall is boss

Give the guy a bit of credit. The guy came into a 22-0 ball game. Our offense was stinking the joint out, just gave up a pick 6 and he had to go out and get some momentum going for us and not only did just that but he put up over 300 yards passing and threw for 4 touchdowns.

I wasn't really counting and am shocked it's 4 TDs.  That may have been a first time ever in the CFL for an unproven #2 stepping in, well at least in a decade.  That's an insane stat.

Kenny is 100% right: it's all about head (composure) and heart.  If you're a good team, you just need to believe.  EDM doesn't believe, well not for more than 2Q.  We're very lucky the EDM headspace is messed up as I believe that was the difference when it hung in the balance.

On the bright side for EDM fans, those P1 guaranteed-win ticket holders get yet another free game next week.  And some team not named Bombers will get to be the trivia question answer.

that series where it was 1stt and 30 and dru throws three passes for a first down..says it all

I think Dinwiddie had a big game once but maybe not off the bench, big yardage game, can't recall the tds.

Cfl had Brown with one pick, I can't recall the play?

Agree one of best bench performances in a long time.

That was sick.  But some people don't want to give him credit because it's the Elks.  Nah, he was exceptional.

You're right, that may have been the play that broke their back.  We've gotten burned in X and super long before and it's extremely demoralizing to a team.

Stats on the success rate at 1st and 30 must be tiny!

yup he was a superb closer.

He played incredible...but it was against a terrible team - that makes it easier.

It?s not only coming in off the bench, but it?s coming into a game where you?re down 22-0 and your MOP #1 Qb has stunk the joint out and just threw a pick six. The guy had a mountain to climb and did it! Super impressive.

I'll stand by the spy idea.  Anyone have Ford running stats?  Watch what the other teams do against him.  And watch the teams shutting down Crum: they don't let him run at all.

Triple down on being wrong
None of that was easy
He worked his entire life for that moment
Don't down play it

We contained him fine
5 for 50

None issue handled internally without spy

3 pieces pie plus plate wings for defending your mistakes lol

Yup can't do anything more
Some people don't get how great that was
Downtown Dru Brown

I stopped watching the game rather that throwing something at the tv ( I read they just scored).

EMBARRASSING play by the Bummers.

You missed
An entertaining game ?. That we won
