BLM, Cornish and McDaniel all had a big game tonight. BLM started off targetting Eric Rogers way too much earlier in the game and Winnipeg defense was ready for him. Once Stamps noticed the Bombers was so focus on Rogers, BLM started throwing the ball to McDaniel with success and he combined it handing the ball to Cornish. Cornish ended up with less than 100 yards rushing and it was because the 2 losses of yards in the 4th. He must lost at least 12 yards. Lamar Durant also had a good game. Huff or Kilam probably was not happy with Anthony Parker's return game. After that one good return(called back because of holding penalty), Stamps started using Burnett then Durant after Burnett went down with injury. This game is a costly win for Stamps. They lost DB Joe Burnett, DB Adam Berger due to injury. MLB Juwan Simpson also were injured undisclosed and did not play in the 2nd half.
Winnipeg put up a fight at the end and their offense is starting to click but they tend to make mistakes at the wrong time. The last penalty is avoidable and not sure who to blame, the coaching staff or the player. As for their kicker, I am not sure why he still have a job. It seems like everytime I watch the Bombers plays their kicker keeps missing the field goal.
Anyways good win for the Stamps. It looks like Montreal might sneak in to get the crossover playoff spot the way the Bombers and Lions been playing lately.
