Calgary @ Winnipeg Pre-game.

You didn't miss it. We don't know yet. If Collaros is getting reps he has to be moved to AR, reserve or 1 game IR. Obviously moving to 1 game IR blows any chance of SMS savings. Him playing again after this week if we lose seems to have little value.

If he can actually play then it's a different story whether we think he should play or not.

Put another way, I think if he practises then I think he ends up starting. He might give us a better chance than Brown.

I know I am a broken record, but we haven't won with 80% Zach, we haven't won with Brown.  Elgersma is still green.

Perkins is a UFL league MVP and has a SB ring.  What is the downside of giving him the starters reps, and then at least the first half of the game.  If he can't get the job done, go back to Brown or drop Elgersma in.

We need to see what he is, what he can do with a week of reps (2 practices, sheesh) and the confidence of giving him the keys.  He seems well liked, I think the team will play well for him, he has done everything they've asked of him without complaint.  And we've seen what he can do with his legs.

The season is on the line, and its on the line in large part because the QB position hasn't delivered.

This could be the lightning in the bottle we need to get to the playoffs, and go all the way.  Its not going to happen with ZC8, or DB4.

Are you crazy? This is not the time to gamble on a miracle worker, they either beat the Stamps with their established talent or they go down swinging. Once eliminated from the playoffs they can do whatever, till then they need to try to reach the level of play they attained when they beat the Als.  I see this as Zach's last gasp.

What we have done lately is not working.  The last game was a disaster.  Going into the game without changing anything is giving up, sorry.

ZC8 will not be 100% if he plays.  80% ZC8 will lose. DB4, bless his heart, hasn't had a full game of success in how long?  Not sure if it is a nick, or just in his head, but he hasn't been good.  Will he get better?  I guess we will see.

The actual way to have a miracle and make the playoffs is by looking at a miracle worker, or trapping a miracle in a bottle, or whatever mixed metaphor you want to use.

We know what we have in nicked ZC8 and in DB4.  We have no idea what BP9 can do after a week with the 1's in practice.  If he loses, well, that's pretty much what we'd expect from ZC8 or DB4.  If he wins, the team lift is incredible, and they have belief going forward into the playoffs.

If ZC8 or DB4 actually manages to beat CGY, next week we still have the doubts. 

IF BP9 wins, hope springs alive, and the bandwagon gets fired up.

You play Zach if 80 to 90% and there isn't a big risk to his health, otherwise it's Dru.  The idea to start Perkins is really out there.  5% chance he would get a W.  25% with Brown, with Zach it's a coin flip maybe if all goes well.

I don't think that's a good idea. We play with the best we think we have with the season on the line. Perkins may have a future but giving him reps in this particular game is not a sound strategy with zero game experienc beyond SY.

We're not a great team but it only takes a bounce or two or big play from someone to win a game. VAJ may have an off day and we have the crowd on our side.

Exactly, if Zach can keep the offence on the field moving the ball as he did against the Als and for the first half of the Elks game, the defence has a chance of harassing VA and knocking him off his game. 

It's not like the Stamps are a well oiled machine, they've been as inconsistent as the Bombers this season.  If Collaros performs to his best they can win, if not, he's finished.
