But Toronto would have started from their 13 yard line instead of their 35. If they had then moved the ball the same distance they likely would have punted rather than go for the FG.

Definition of insanity: putting Boltus in for short yardage plays over and over again and expecting different results.

Burke's been spinning the tires all season. I don't see how anyone could suggest firing Burke would be throwing him under the bus.

Anyone else notice that against Montreal and Toronto the defence played better after injuries forced a few changes like JJ going back to the corner.

Had my times mixed up. They took the time-out with 30 some seconds left after Foster took a knee, not earlier. Thanks.
 
 
 
I completely agree.

Who goes for a field goal down 6  with 2 minutes left within the redzone. How the **** does Burke have a job in professional football

The fact that Goltz isn't doing short yardage is an absolute joke.
 
Boltus looks like he's got concrete blocks for shoes when he's out there.

Here's the thing about Burke and his complaints regarding a lack of talent.
 
Similar talent was at least competitive under LaPolice. We may not have won a ton of games, but at least we felt like we had a chance to win. I watch this team now and all I can think is that they have absolutely no chance. Given that these are professional athletes competing against other professional athletes, you'd think we could at least put up somewhat of a fight.
 
To me, the main issue with this team is coaching. Top to bottom, they are doing absolutely nothing to improve the skillset of our roster. I can count on one hand the number of players we've had during the Delmonaco/Howell/Burke regime who have improved under their watch. Most of our imports seem to get worse the more they work with our coaches. Matthews came here and lit the world on fire, now he can't catch. Denmark was a ROY candidate, now he's a spare part who struggles to get open. Simpson played on instinct last year and seemed dominant at times, but struggled this year with our new offensive schemes. Our defensive backs, aside from Washington, seem to be getting worse. Ian Wild and Desia Dunn both debuted incredibly strong and now look mediocre (maybe a byproduct of our entire defense) ... in two years, they couldn't teach Alex Hall how to time his break well enough to avoid going offside. Mike Sims-Walker was highly touted enough to get his own press conference as a CFL rookie when he came here and now he can't even crack the lineup because Howell can't get through to him on the waggle. And don't even get me started on what our quarterbacks are doing in their development.
 
It's ridiculous. Our coaching is garbage. Talent level may be on the lower end but they could still produce a LOT better with some average coaches.

He throws the whole team under the bus every time he makes comments about doing his best with what he has.

Call it blind optimism but I'm going will Will Ford.

It's not hard to say things like "all I can do is worry about winning game this year and whatever they decide to do they decide to do" says nothing and still answers the question. Seriously this isn't complicated. 

Can we fold our team and start again next season as an expansion team?

Drives me nuts that Burke gets such a free pass from guys like Kirk Penton.
 
Penton is a quality writer, but his absolute hate on for Joe Mack drives me nuts.

Seriously?
 
 
Give me a break. Such a double standard lol

He has said in some interviews that he would like to go back to being a GM and/or HC. He's also applied for a few openings in the past few years as well including here after Kelly and Bauer were gone.
