I like how people are all glamorizing wally letting a player go as in that every move he makes is gold.
Forget not that Wally traded for Buck Pierce!!!! Why isn't anyone bringing up the fact that a gm actually would trade for a guy who is beyond washed up.
Look how bad Pierce has looked in BC!
Foster sucks but hey at least we gave it a shot, saved some cash and moved on from a real poor player weighing the team down.
I haven't really seen much of Buck in BC. Even with Demarco crapping the bed, they refuse to pull him in favour of Buck or Elliott. Which speaks volumes for both of those guys.

Mulumba is playing for Green Bay. What a wasted pick that was...
-
Wow, DeMarco is horrible. He did nothing today to even give the Lions a chance to come back & win. I hope this puts to rest any rumours that we'd try to sign or trade for him.
LOL like that's ever going to happen....

That is all...

My thoughts...
Hall is to slow and doesn't have the arm for this league. In the first half he only could dink it 5 yards and couldn't hit anything while on the run.
He had two ints taken away from penalties. That being said he's the best we got for now.
Ford isn't starting material but he's good as a change of pace back. The O line aside from the one big run was poor. Guys were hitting ford the second he had the ball.
Montreal was god awful, nieswander had time to throw but just made some poor throws. They looked like they had zero interest in playing.
I thought the lbers and secondary were solid and had a lot of hustle.
Overall with all those turnovers we should of won by a lot more...
Both of the int's were taken away by blatant pass interference calls, which, if the receivers hadn't been interfered with, they probably would have caught the ball. There's reasons to doubt Hall, but you can't say that the INT's were just "taken away by penalties" - they occurred due to illegal acts by the Montreal players.
The first interception was taken away by a penalty from Chip Cox who was on the other side of the field. You're right about the second though, Parker literally pushed Kohlert down and then intercepted the ball.
I just watched the first half again and the first PI that took away an INT was on Shea Emry, even though Cox was the one called for it. Emry held Kohlert so when Hall threw it it looked bad as he threw right to the Montreal DB, but Kohlert would have been there had Emry not held him up. Kudos to the refs for catching that one, but boos for all the other PI's they missed. Montreal was holding our receivers on almost every play. The series where we got the ball on the 8 yard line after the Dunn INT Hall lobbed a nice ball to Watson, who couldn't get it because he had Chip Cox hanging off of him from the line of scrimmage. Just ridiculous. I guess the refs felt bad about missing that one, as they let Edwards go on his blatant off-side on the Denmark TD right before half time.

I'd still go with Burris, I think.
What's the problem with this team? Too young and inexperienced. So we're going to solve that with.... more youth and inexperience? Bring in Burris as a stop-gap for a couple years while we bring a young guy along. Bringing Collaros into this mess right now is just setting him up to fail.
yeah well Burris coming into this mess would just pout and be a total jackwang in the dressing room, blaming everyone else for the team's failures. No thanks.
Hamilton was a disaster last year and that didn't happen with him.
were you in the Hamilton dressing room?

The Bombers have the best red zone % in the league they said... That is mostly because of Goltz and his legs.... Yet Burke keeps putting Boltus in... Blows my mind...
Hall wasn't doing that great he came on strong later on but for most of the first half he really sputtered and tossed some really ugly passes.
He at least didn't look scared or made blatantly horrible decisions.... If only he could run and have an arm like Reilly....
it also would be nice if the O-line could give him more than 1.5 steamboats to pick a target and throw. Hall was rushing almost every throw as on almost every throwing play there was a free Alouette coming at him unblocked. I know that this may have been "designed" - but to just let a guy run at our QB unblocked on almost every play? Really?
They highlighted a play yesterday where our o-line didn't even shift in covering a 5-man Montreal rush. Amazing how even when we are man-on-man, we are outnumbered.
yeah that was brutal. Two o-linemen took the same guy and left a Montreal D-man completely untouched to walk in on Hall. To his credit, Hall stood in there and got the ball out quick. I think he's realized that he has to make quick throws as he will only be given 2 seconds tops to get the ball away, on every single passing play. Our O-line is just plain awful. I still am scratching my head at how we won that game yesterday. Montreal truly looked like they were trying to lose. Is the mob now controlling that team like they control everything else in Montreal?

I know this is a completely hypothetical situation but the reason I wouldn't want Burris is because it would go a long way in keeping Collaros away from here. Not saying that Burris isn't a great QB. We all know that he is. But I don't even think he is measurably better than Collaros at this point and no matter how good he is, a short-term Band-Aid solution really doesn't help us much. Especially when our number one priority should be getting Collaros to sign a long-term deal in Winnipeg.
The thing I like about Burris is that he has had success under several different systems over a period of many years. Collaros looks great, but he has only played in one system on a pretty good team with some great coaching. Could be a dramatic fall-off if Collaros comes here, which is less likely with Burris.
I'd rather bring in Tate and Burris if we are gonna spend on two... Burris -> age makes him a touch cheaper, Tate ->injury history makes him a touch cheaper... maybe affordable to bring two guys in... Burris as backup in case Tate gets hurt. Both guys are pretty veteran and therefore hopefully be able to transition into a new system more easily.
If we signed Tate and Burris we'd need to raise the ceiling of the dressing room by 3 feet so both their heads could fit.

And where has Lavoie been this year? Hurl is a good special teams player but how much value does he actually have?
Lavoie was the rookie of the year before the back injury...
Lavoie wouldn't have won rookie of the year. A fullback doesn't win it over a 1,000+ yard receiver.
Is he related to Patrick Swayze?
I think they said he is distantly related to him. His grandmother or great-grandmother's maiden name was Swayze.
and no one put her in a corner either.

Re first interception/PI
Right call, wrong player.
That seemed to be the story line of today's game when it came to the officiating
Yeah that was my recollection as well - that both INT's were the result of illegal play by the Montreal defence, and wouldn't have occurred if they weren't breaking the rules. I'll go back and review, as I usually watch a Bomber victory many times to bask in the glow of victory, while losses are quickly deleted from the PVR. Needless to say, I haven't re-watched a lot of games this year.
iirc on that play shea emry (41) twisted around the intended receiver as he was running by him. Ref probably didn't catch the whole number on the jersey and came up with 11 instead of 41.
yeah it was blatant PI, was my memory.

I'd take Collaros or Demarco over Burris. Yeah yeah he's "awesome" and "gives us the best chance to win right now" but I just can't stand that whining jerk. It was like when the Bombers signed Roy Dewalt in the twilight of his career. It was hard for me to cheer for the Bombers seeing someone I couldn't stand while he was in BC now donning a Winnipeg uni. Same would go with Burris. I guess winning games again on a regular basis would soothe the pain....but still...

Who, when and where are they even playing this week???? Have not checked yet, not worth the effort. Especially for a busy, important and beautiful person like me.
Montreal. On Monday. I don't plan to eat any turkey before hand as I probably will just be vomiting it back up again during the game.

Ah. Wasn't sure if Kelly was done.
*sarcasm on*
But still 2 head coaches, we should be 18 and 0 every year with that much noodle talent.
*sarcasm off*
You do make a good point. I just end up shouting at the TV "why didn't you do that when you were our coach" during the first segment of half time when Randorf comes on with Lapo, and Lapo gushes over the "creative play-calling" of whatever team is winning.
-
Well considering we have what 3 head coaches on the payroll, you'd think we could do better!
which 3? Kelly is long done. Lapo is done after this year. So we'll just have Burke and Burke's replacement in 2014 to pay.

im truly stunned that the concept of not caring, not watching, not paying attention are even being discussed, let alone acted upon.
its the bombers for christ sakes, the reason for this forum.. shitty, embarrassing or horrendous to bare thru, its our football team we claim to be fans of and love so much..
I think it's a matter of "I care too much", so I just can't watch the games anymore. It would be like watching your faithful dog get kicked and beaten by hooligans while you are tied down and helpless - it would hurt to watch that for sure, and that's how I feel watching the Bombers this year. There's nothing I can do to stop the beatings, so I'd rather just not watch at all.

A majority of posters on Riderfans are saying they'd deal Willy for him. I'd be all over that. I don't know if Willy will turn into a starter, but getting him for the expiring contract of an import de who most likely won't come back is more than worth it.
Willy plus a pick - 2nd round - and this is done and done.

I don't think Etienne's balls have dropped yet either...
