Mr SpeedFlex27: How would you like to put up the gameday thread this Thursday night or Friday?
Then you can see your "name up in lights"!
Go ahead I won't do it ... I would like you to get all that glory
I've been here a long time. Everyone who knows me here also knows that I don't start many threads but I do when I think they are relevant. I pick & choose the time to do it. Not to get attention like you.

And out of the three Nichols is probably the most nervous about his job.....Streveler An Bennett are both younger and stepped up when needed. The next few games might even be huger for their resumes....as for Nichols, it's the the old "what have you done for me lately" scenario........it's going to be interesting...

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.


Friday: Masoli vs, Streveler, Timmis vs. Harris, Banks vs. Demski
