The sad thing was we all thought (at the time) that Tim Burke replacing LaPo as HC of the Bombers in 2012 was a positive move as we thought that he would instill a little fear into the players by being more of a hard ass than Lapo was. That he'd also instill some much needed team discipline which was lacking under LaPo as well. The total opposite happened. If anything, the team got worse & not better under Burke. Often times, he had no answer as to how to fix the team when asked after loss after blown out loss. He made a name as a Defensive Coordinator in the CFL but couldn't make the successful jump to Head Coach which seems to happen a lot. It was obvious from that 52-0 blowout in Saskatchewan on Labour Day Sunday in his first game as HC on that he wasn't the answer going forward. Mercifully, Wade Miller fired him as soon as the 2013 season ended. That really affected Burke who went to the Argos as DC but eventually quit. I have no idea where Tim Burke is now or if he is retired from football or not.

This is why you don't fire coaches and gms every 2 years. Give a group a chance to actually build something. Where are all the people who wanted to fire everyone a couple years aho5now? Would love to hear from them.
Just curious but would you give Reed & Sherman another season if they go 1-17 & 4,000 people show up for games? There has to be some kind of hope for fans as well. Firings do that. Sometimes they are justified when incompetence is clearly showing as it was here in 2013.

The other comment about wanting to see Simonise over Dressler. Why?? The kid's a rook. You lose with too many rookies all starting together at the same time. Let him develop playing sparely on O when they can get him in as well as on ST's. In the meantime, Dressler is quietly having a great season. Just enjoy that.

Open letter to Chris Streveler:
Dear Chris I feel like I can call you Chris because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real touchdown!

exactly. In this amount of usage we can rely on him to last longer. the guy isnt a spring chicken but like steph logan some how still has the quicks to beat guys. Dont question it just enjoy it as long as it lasts. At this rate we might be able to get another couple years out of dressler.
Memo to LaPo: Don't use Dressler anymore on fly sweeps.

Wait... that's your take away from that? Not the fact that she was treated like ****? C'mon, it's pretty draconian the way she was treated.
Read the article- they show the stretch of beach she was jogging down- I didn't see any signage.
Oh look, I took the bait. Not gonna even debate this. Buh bye.

Got behind fast & early. When that happens the run game goes out the window. Willy didn't help himself last night. He hangs onto the ball too long. He gets sacked, constantly because he lacks athleticism, checks down & throws 5 yard outs or dumps. He is sooooo finished as a CFL qb. Hard to believe the Als can't see that.
