I don't hate Burke, I just think he's quickly proving himself to be a very good defensive coordinator.

Not to me, it doesn't. If he gets hurt, he's done. For good. I don't care how good/bad the backups are, I'd rather be developing with SOME hope than have no hope whatsoever.

All I will say is that if the next Buck injury is not the end of his time as Winnipeg's starting QB, I will have a hard time keeping the faith.

Continuing on my last thought from another thread ... Burke continues to coddle the most unimpressive veteran on this team. The approach to the most important part of our team this offseason has me so uninspired right now. I feel like we're throwing a ticking time bomb under center and it's only a matter of time until Goltz or Hall get their shot, which will be the best possible thing that could happen.

I really don't like Tim Burke. His veterans hardly played at all (I missed the first 5 minutes of the game and don't think I saw more than a couple of reps from a handful of starters the rest of the way), the worst performing veteran of all is the one he coddles the most and he continues to hang them out to dry as a "motivational tool" His player analysis in the media has a LONG way to go.

That golf course is well ... 100% fairway free.

I'll turn it into my signature. Probably against forum rules but hey, I'll just rewrite them for myself. And ban anyone who dare oppose me.

There was no way this was going to go off without any hiccups no matter how much planning you put in.

lol

I wouldn't say that at all. Etienne was clearly ahead of Carter last night whether they both made two catches or not. I saw a side of JE that we haven't seen before as far as attitude goes and the amount of times he got seperation on his cover was great.

They just got volunteers to ride them around in circles around the stadium.

Beer selection looked huge to me, I saw a couple beer fridges stocked at stands with at least 7 or 8 different varieties.

Actually, we were accused of planting that idiot over there. So he has a point.

Oh yeah and as good as my actual SEATS are, holy **** is the environment around me AWFUL. I think my section is being sponsored by the River Ridge Nursing Home. The most excitement I saw from other fans was a dude shaking his cane at the field. For real. West side sucks. Why am I here.

Here are my thoughts ... -- I missed the first five minutes because of traffic -- My hamburger had no toppings because they ran out -- Desia got a quickname nickname from me. Is. As in Desia Is Dunn. Cut him tomorrow, he was horrendous. -- The best thing McGee did all day was get hurt. -- Etienne had a couple nice grabs, as did Carter. -- Hall was by far the best QB and all this talk about how they took Buck out to protect him makes me sick, it`s pretty obvious teams are just going to gun for him until he gets knocked out. -- Apparently missing five minutes means you don`t see ANY starters, I think the only first unit guy I noticed on the field was Jovon. Maybe Stewart once or twice. -- Massey and Kennedy both impressed me as returners, McCree can follow Dunn as far as I`m concerned. -- Wendell Brown was all over the place but still ... how can I honestly try and say ANY linebacker impressed me. -- David James looked on. And then off. And then on. And then off. Too inconsistent. -- Marty Markett probably will not make the team but he needs to stick around on the PR. He will be a very good replacement at CB WHEN the time comes, I just dont think that time is now. -- Marcus Hyde is FAST. JT Gilmore is HUGE. Like both of these guys on the line. That`s about all I remember for now. Oh yeah. Doug Brown sucks as a radio personality. Maybe he should go commentate a funeral, seems better suited for his personality.

Honestly, even as a diehard fan, if this game were televised, I'd consider not going. Kind of like how I turned down tickets to the Jets first home preseason game when they came back. I want my first time to mean something. (lol)

If they ever legalize weed, I'm buying stock in Frito Lay.

Anyone feel like making some 2012 season predictions? I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what could go down.

I'd love to see this kid make the team, but I still think he's in tough. I really hope he takes a tough hit or two, just because I want to see how he responds.

First game at IGF? Time to celebrate.

Rod Black isn't happy with the similarities between himself and the newly named Ottawa franchise, he has filed a request with Jeff Hunt to change the name to the Ottawa Gigueres.
