Thursday Night down 26-20 with 100 seconds left Drew Willy marched his Winnipeg Blue Bombers 93 yards. With one play left, Winnipeg needed a touchdown. Willy magic prevailed, throwing a 2-yard game tying touchdown with no time remaining, and the ensuing extra point gave Winnipeg the win.

..

down 24-19 with 92 seconds to go, Kevin Glenn found an open Ernest Jackson who caught the pass, then cut into the middle of the field to break away from would-be tacklers and into the end zone. The 65-yard TD reception was EJ's first TD reception in two seasons.
 
Having Drew and guys like EJ has really moved a lot of Buffalo fans to start following the CFL..
 
This was our Game Thread for the CFL this week...

The last and only time Drew Willy faced Dan Lefevour was in 2008. The Bulls traveled to Mount Pleasant for a game against the defending MAC Champion CMU Chippewas. Aside from a 5-7 record in 2007 the Bulls had been a conference doormat since they joined the MAC in 1999.
  The idea that UB could give the defending champs a real run for their money seemed far fetched.
But behind Drew Willy the Bulls found themselves within field goal range and down only two points as the clock was down to its final seconds. If A.J. Principie hits a 46 yard field goal Buffalo walks out with a fantastic comeback win.
 
Both Quarterbacks had solid games with Drew throwing for 270 yards on 22/33 passing, he threw for two touchdowns. Lefevour's passing numbers were more modest but in addition to 152 yards passing he was the games leading rusher with 100 yards.
 
Dan Versus Drew - Round 2:
This Thursday Drew Willy will once again take a trip to Dan LeFevour's house. This time LeFevour is playing pivot for the Hamilton Tiger Cats while Willy is the starter for Winnipeg.

You can throw the sink at Drew and he does not lose his composure... Still I hope he is not as beat up against Montreal..
 
Willy is having arguably the best season of any CFL quarterback, he is certainly playing at a far higher level than one might expect from a journeyman backup in the NFL, UFL, and for last seasons Roughriders.
  This season Drew is second in the CFL in Passing yard and touchdowns thrown among all quarterbacks. He is also second in rating and third in completion percentage among pivots who have thrown the ball more than 25 times.
Name Team Comp Att % Yards Long TD % Ints % Rating Ray, R TOR 56 75 74.7 690 49 5 6.7 0 0.0 124.9 Willy, D WPG 40 60 66.7 615 51 4 6.7 2 3.3 108.7 Reilly, M EDM 51 75 68.0 482 42 4 5.3 2 2.7 92.2 Durant, D SSK 32 51 62.7 431 59 4 7.8 3 5.9 91.2 Glenn, K BC 31 53 58.5 410 55 2 3.8 6 11.3 48.5  
Ottawa tried to rattle Willy in their last meeting and although his touchdown output was down from the opening week he still threw for 300+ yards and played clutch under pressure. The RedBlacks aggressiveness bordered on cheap in the last game. The league fined defensive back Jeremy Gavins for a cheap shot delivered on Drew.
The Gavins hit, although the cheapest, was not the hit that had Blue Bomber fans worried. That hit came when Willy's throwing hand struck an oncoming Ottawa defensive lineman. For a few series after that hit Willy last the zip in his passes and could be seen wincing in pain. The staff "medicated" him and his play improved enough for him  to lead Ottawa to a win and now he has been cleared to play this week versus Montreal.
The Winnipeg press are reporting that Drew has looked to be at 100% in practice. With no lingering symptoms from the hand injury Drew Will make the start this week.

The bigger take away from this win could be that despite adversity Mike O'Shea has created a team which stays focused and does not lose control. Down 14-0 the Blue Bombers did not ever seem to panic. They have proven they can win with the run or the pass, that they can win when they are spotted 17 points or spot their opposition 14.
 
It's still hard to gauge the ceiling for Winnipeg but it's looking higher by the day.

After the worst outing of his career, (13 for 25, 80 yards, 2 INTs) en route to a 41-0 loss at Boston College, Drew Willy's week got even worse. In practice, Willy broke his thumb in a drill to test Willy's skill at passing under duress. Then it got worse, the following Saturday, Willy's backup Tony Paoli led Buffalo to their second win of the season, a rousing 41-14 win over Kent State.
 
Behind the scenes, it looked like Drew Willy's career as UB starting QB was over. A high school quarterback 30 miles east of Willy's hometown of Randolph, New Jersey caught the eye of Turner Gill. His first recruiting win, Buffalo signed Chris Johnson, 3-star QB from Patterson, New Jersey. Johnson was seen as Gill's savior, the QB he would bring in to put a stamp on his program. Drew Willy would have to fight for his job in the summer of 2007, but It was a foregone conclusion that the job would probably go to Johnson.

I heard Ottawa has special helmets for this first game...
 

That will be the score, but only if Willy plays the whole first half in a lazy-boy recliner.

Willy and Burris were not available at the same time... If they are perhaps Burris is not offered 375K

"mobile" qurterbacks who extend the play are over rated. Give me pocket presence and compsure over a "dual threat" any day.
