Mr. Perfect

Joe Mack was building this team for long term sustainability right down to the bitter end. He took on a dirty job that most couldn't stomach, and left this team in WAY better shape than it shoulda been considering what Kelly did to it. Mack kept draft picks and did the best he could with em to build for the future. I respect the hell outta that man for sticking to his guns and always doing things his way. That's a man's man right there. He's now taken the bullet for what I believe is the long term betterment of this franchise.

I love how Chick goes high on Glenn and doesn't get flagged...

he could do better, I admit, but with banged up receivers and no run support, I didn't expect much.

BTW great discussion everyone.

The resemblance to Cal is crazy.

The way this news was leaked by the board has me wondering how this will look to people approached for the gig....

But what do people expect him to say, it feels great to be demoted? How do you think it feels? He's said that he wants the team to win, and will help the team win in his current capacity. What more do people want? That's all you can ask of someone that's just been asked to take a seat. Just because he says that he was not approached about helping mentor Goltz and Hall, doesn't mean he won't do it, and he never says that he won't do it either. He's a competitor just like the other 41 guys who lace up every game, and I guarantee you if you were to take any starter and bench them, and ask how they feel, they wouldn't be singing sunshine and rainbows. They are competitive, professional athletes.

Get real. If a guy was happy being 2nd string, we'd all say to cut him, he lacks drive and fire. Now a guy says he wants to start and he's not a team player? Give me a break. It's funny how people are ignoring quotes such as:
 
"It’s my job to stay positive with the guys and help and I’ve always done that in my career and I’ve always been positive in adverse situations. It doesn’t mean that I agree with the decision, because I don’t. But I want this team to win and I want to help these guys along."
 
Yeah...what a cancer in the room like a lot are making him out to be.

Awesome that the site has grown, and continues to grow as quickly as it has. A great place to discuss ball regardless of what our opinions may be.

Congrats to the kid, hopefully Buck helping Crowton as he did with playcalling last year will yield some of the same results.

Good ol Dave Ritchie. Sure miss that guy. What a beauty.

Because he's the CEO and the top dog for one. If the product sucks, and he's the leader of the ship of a community owned team, he shouldn't be shying away from tough questions. Sure Friesen has....questionable articles, but I think for the most part Penton does a solid job, so because "it's the Sun" I don't think is a just reason to turn down the interview request, if indeed that was the reason. As I said, would they be shy if the team's record was 4-1? Not likely.

As much as I enjoy watching the best running back in the league run the ball, doing it at this point is just asking for an injury.

You guys are doing it right, voodochyle. We are passionate about our team & after this years start the frustration is sure there. Sometimes like a pot on a stove, things boil over. We all care.

I would disagree.  Goltz was far from impressive.  when the game was out of reach, he was only 50% and had 135 yards.

Quote of the week. Funny & sad at the same time.

So to summarize, we don't blitz, we don't get pressure, our DB's are to slow for man, not smart enough for zone, but aside from that, hey, it's not so bad, right?

And your quarterback is making his first career start, ideally, how many times would you want to run the ball in the first half?
 
For the record, Simpson had 4 carries in that situation. Great work Crowton!

78/91, 1095 Yards, 7 TD's
 
There are no words. Sure glad we can all agree Buck Pierce is the biggest problem with this team.

God bless that man. RIP.
