You missed
An entertaining game ?. That we won

Entertainment value x100 cfl at its best

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.

Exactly.  My question is why the big difference with Dru out performing Zach tonight? Game plan? No pressure? Everyone stepped it up? Suggestions?

I was thinking about that too, I don't have answers

Ford showed potential and nice to see a Canadian get a chance.  

That said Dru was superman to Ford?s Clark Kent.  

I hope Dru is on a 2 year contract

Gotta lock Dru up, not sure we have enough $$$

Agree on Ford

[The Zipp]

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

I said he played incredible - that is not wrong

I said he did it against the worst team in the cfl - maybe the worst ever - that is not wrong

It's easier to beat a bad team than a good one - not wrong either

Joey Elliot played great too and we know how that worked out.  Dru Brown should be proud of what he did, hopefully Zach is ready for the next game and Dru can keep learning.

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.

Definitely one of the best bench performances in years.

I wonder if people remember Troy Kopp coming in for TJ Rubley (who?) with a few minutes remaining.  And winning.  Back in 1998.  To give our Bombers their first win of the season and put them 1-10.

Just a completely different qb.  Dru looked a lot like Zach in his plays and moves, but he's a wildcard against other teams.

I wouldn't be assuming Dru takes over next week for a healthy Zach.

True - but is also true that crappy team was whipping our veteran all stars and MOP?s butt for 1.5 quarters.  Insert brown and he not only has a comeback but crushes Edmonton with some great plays and incredible poise, like 1 st and 30.  

How do you explain the change ?

Great game by Dru Brown. Played smart and did things Collaros doesn't do. He worked the pocket and used Oliveira for screen passes . Seemed to know what to do with the ball. Collaros was running around backwards in circles losing yards

That is what makes football and sports so fun...I suspect the rest of the team, offense and defence cranked it up a few notches knowing it wasn't Zach in there.  Consciencely  or not they realize their MOP winning leader isn't there anymore to win the game for them.  I suspect we still come back with Zach as Edmonton is a really bad football team - they are weak mentally and that isn't going to change until there are changes in leadership made. 

Bombers started slow and played down to the competition - they need to fix that somehow.

You are entitled to your opinion but I don't see it that way.

Nah you told someone to calm down about their excitement about Brown and then ddddoubled tracked your way to being wrong 4x, admitting is the 1st step

Nobody agreed with you

Brown dominated against a pro team
Brown outplayed Zach
Your comparison to Joey is laughable at best
Your might have out done tecno tonight now
At least he took 2/3 crow lol
Left a 1/3 4 u lol

You are stating things you said after your initial post.....go back to your 1st post that downplayed what Brown did

Report back

Brown has a long way to go but don't pop on his parade

We should all be proud of what he did.

Yup that crappy team had our number and then Dru and the D stepped up!
