This is how they lined up for the rest of the Toronto game after Sears got injured. Markett looked ok at HB, I thought.

Oh Jesus go back to OB

What was wrong with the comment? I think "No." would have been worse.

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming1m Tim Burke asked; Does Justin Goltz have an opportunity to win the #Bombers' starting QB job this week? Burke: "Maybe." And that's it.

Goltz could use a strong performance from Simpson

And spending the week telling his team to look up to how great the Stamps are, right before they are playing the Stamps, probably isn't a great strategy

Yeah but that doesn't mean you have to cut him down in the media

Buck may still be "the starter", but based on the way Burke was talking on the coach's show last night, I'm 99% sure Goltz will be starting Friday, and if he performs well he may keep the job. This is just a hunch I have, and if Goltz doesn't perform Burke will put Buck back in when he's healthy while maintaining he never lost the starting job. Burke kept using the phrase "at this point in time" when the Buck as a starter talk came up, which is the same thing he said about Brink when he was asked about Brink's future after Elliott got released. He also said people shouldn't get too worked up about it and maybe wait to see how things play out. Almost like he was hinting at the fact he's leaning towards going to Goltz but doesn't want to throw Buck under the bus in the media.

Weird and surprising move. Milanovich press conference today to talk about that move and other Argo news.

I don't think coordinator experience has to be pre-requisite, but there should at least be some knowledge of the Canadian game and previous experience as a CFL positional coach. Cortez, for example, was a QB coach in the CFL before ever becoming an OC. All the successful OCs right now are the same way. Chapdelaine, Milanovich/Brady, hell even Dickenson with all his knowledge of the game spent time as a positional coach before advancing to OC. It's just the only way that you're going to have success in the CFL and unfortunately the Bombers chose to ignore that.

So that's where my dad went

Kory Sheets Changing my pick to Jade Etienne

Might as well go with Goltz now, the season's in the toilet already

How many times a season do you actually see a running back get 20 carries in the CFL? Cornish led the league in carries by a fair margin and only averaged 14 carries per game.

I had a dream last night that we will get off to a hot start tonight, 11-0 in the first quarter. But I also dreamed that Oscar from the Office played for the Argos, Doug Brown was back with the Bombers, and they were wearing orange and blue. So I don't know how reliable that dream was.

Elliott sucked

School doesn't start til September, bring in Johnny Aprile

61.3%, 250+ yards, and a couple TD drives of 60+ yards each. That is good enough QB'ing to win with a good defence, which is all we need. More than we ever got from Elliott, that's for sure.

One more win and he will be at the same level

Wait are you talking about Pierce this year or Elliott last year, hard to tell

2012 Elliott -> Worst QB rating in the league (20+ attempts)

Third most passing yards in the league

Exactly, and that's the whole point. If Elliott manages to put the ball in the endzone even once, there are no opportunities for bad coaching decisions or defensive breakdowns because he put the points on the board and won the game. But it just didn't happen. I just love how the Elliott boosters' main argument is that he was great at moving the ball until he got into the redzone, like that is something to be proud of. And then they put on their coaching hats and tell us how easy it is to fix.
