hooooo boy costly penalty there hamilton.

yeah turned into a good finish, who knew! couple real great catches by the esks on that last drive of theirs and game on!

I am mostly just curious to see how it all goes now that the team has actually divorced themselves from Pierce as the starter. Think you gotta give them a chance to see how it goes without that glaring issue that is PIerces health looming over everything.

yeah I just assumed it was common knowledge that I was firmly in the don't fire anyone yet camp.

do you need to ask?

so you were just whining for change for change sake and are part of what is wrong with the discussion around these parts lately.

not sure if hamiltons defense is getting better or edmonton just that bad....

If it were up to me I'd have replaced DelMonaco anyway. Just think too many guys took a step back when he came in and no one has really stepped up and gotten any better.

I just want to see who people want is all, and snuff out all this stupid "I want people fired but don't want to stop and think about replacements" garbage that is going on here.

all you other voters better start naming names before I get angry all call you all sorts of names.

hey i didn't say it was happening, just suggesting that maybe the mistaken thought that continuity is helping is preventing changes... I mean they did think a lot of false things with regards to the quarterbacking this year so there is evidence of poor decision making.

these teams are just the absolute shits.

other is a cop out unless you start naming names whoever picked that one.

yeah but when you could fire the chef but the only guy to replace him with is the night janitor does it make sense to fire the chef? Come on you are smarter than what you're saying. You're really just coming off as a panicky fool demanding someone lose their job to appease that anger.

there's the burris we know and love. tosses a pick to Grimey.

there are other things to try at this point in time, one of them is trying a new qb. It just makes much more sense in the long term to fire coaches at the end of the year, especially when you're already bare bones on the offensive side of things right now.

I am wondering if they haven't made changes due to continuity rather than guys not being better... just seems strange that they refuse to make changes.

hah! even toronto doesn't want to cheer for that team.

yeah hiring tillman would seriously have me questioning my loyalty to this franchise. Just looking at the mess he left Edmonton along with his legal issues.... no thank you. keep that guy away from this team.

and I'm pointing out the foolishness of that mentality. I mean really how many times has firing anyone midseason actually worked out long term for this team in the last 2 decades? That should be a lesson for people to cool their jets on this. The whole idea of "I'm angry I demand a sacrifice to appease me!" has led to more setbacks in the long term future of this team than anything else.

short sighted thinking. Let the people you are already paying try and salvage it and if they don't then you make moves in the offseason when there are plenty of quality people available. Doing it now might just give false hope and wind up causing people to stick with less than ideal people who showed perhaps minimal improvement. There's a time and place to fire people, the middle of the season isn't it.

I think the common thread here is that Winnipeg fans just love to ***** and complain about something, doesn't even matter what, just as long as they can ***** and complain.

stupid attitude. You can't fire someone you don't have a replacement for. You say it couldn't get worse, but it might actually get worse, especially given the limitations already on the offensive side of this coaching staff. I don't know why everyone is so hot and bothered to fire people in the middle of the season. Wait until the offseason to make changes and you have many more options to replace people with which should lead to better hires to avoid these kinds of situations in the first place.

The only reason to fire a GM midseason is to stop a guy going crazy gutting a team to desperately try and turn things around. I don't see Mack doing that so there is absolutely no reason to do a mid season firing that will accomplish precisely nothing.

Going out on a bit of a limb taking Simpson. I'll hold off on making 2 guesses.
