The starters played pretty well, not allowing a first down on T.O.'s first two drives, but then Harris came back with a couple 25+ yard completions in a row on their third possession and that's probably what had Burke so fired up. Resulted in a missed field goal after the defence held, but that was still the starters vs. a backup QB.

Fort McMurray aka Mordor.

Good discussion, I agree. Anyways, Pierce did ride Garrett to that victory. And Elliott probably would have turned the ball over on a stupid play trying to be a hero and lost it for us. Like I said though, I'm not even a big Pierce fan. I was just really unimpressed with Elliott and I'm glad we moved on. Hopefully we can get enough mileage out of Pierce that one of our backups has enough time to learn and rise to the occasion because honestly that's our only hope.

Yeah you're right let's just stick with the losing QB who shows no signs of improving... simply because he will stay healthy. Brilliant.

Maybe, maybe not. But Buck can move the ball, he's not completely useless as you guys are making him out to be. He had a bad year, for sure... but he's a winning QB and he always has been. Because he protects the ball and he can make **** happen when the team needs it most. Look, I'm not happy we're stuck with Pierce again either, I think it's insane. But I'd rather go with someone who has a chance to be good rather than a proven flop like Elliott.

Oh? And if he does it 3+ times in one game? Multiple times? Great for morale, I bet.

OK coach, if you say so. I had no idea redzone turnovers were so easy to fix. You should tell that to the hundreds of QBs who have failed in the CFL and NFL for that very issue. If only they had that secret formula that only you seem to possess!

Buck wasn't very good last year but Elliott wasn't better. He could drive half the field like a champ, unfortunately when he got to the 35 yard line he became absolutely useless. What good is that??

It may have been because Elliott was terrible.

That much is certain

If Buck stays healthy, we'll win football games. Been that way his whole career and it will continue to be.

Yes, how terrible. Let's look at the offending quote again. Can you believe that?!?! Wow what a big jerk. Can't believe he would drag his players through the mud like that. How awful.

The thing is Dunn has looked great in practice. Probably want to get a look at him in a second game to see if he bounces back.

I got on the bus at Woodhaven in St James around 5 35 or 5 40 and walked into the stadium about 10 minutes before they sang the anthem. Really wasn't that bad. They just need more buses because ours filled up with several stops remaining so we couldn't pick up anyone else. Easy fix.

Probably not but in all likelihood the majority of snaps throughout the season will be taken by QBs other than Pierce so it's not a terrible idea to get them as much experience as possible, considering they all seem to have a ways to go.

Apparently 8000+ transit riders compared to the expected 5200

Don't worry you're in good hands, apparently they're all absolutely fantastic.

Thoughts: Traffic plan needs work. Our blue n gold express bus was full after the first 2 out of 6 planned stops. Good job getting us out quick after the game though. I liked Wendell Brown, Marty Markett, and Ryan Lucas on defence. Everyone else sucked royally. Also Anthony Woodson is our second best running back and making a push for number one since Simpson decided it would be a good idea to gain 10 pounds so he could run slower and get less yards per rush. Odd decision but he's the pro I guess? Offence looked terrible. Pierce goes 0/5 are you kidding me? Maybe they should give some first team reps to their first team qb in practice... Just a thought. Concessions were unbearably slow. True North pays people to run their concessions, Bombers have volunteers (i.e. seniors from some ridiculous club) running the concessions. Seriously this guy couldn't even read the numbers on the cash register. It was bad. Missed 12 minutes of the third quarter waiting in line... Nice tv's on the columns at least. Massey looked good returning. Renaud punted 6 out of 8 punts and looked good. Hutchison and Cameron got the other two. So much for evaluation? The job is Renaud's. Palardy looked like Palardy.... Misses ugly ones sometimes but will otherwise do an adequate job... Not that it matters since no one is competing with him for the job. Overall I thought the team looked awful. Poorly prepared and completely disorganized. The atmosphere sucked because nobody cared and everyone stays in the concourse rather than sitting in their seats. The guy on the mic was AWFUL, oh man did he ever suck... See ya later pal, you win 0 dollars and a lifetime of shame. I thought Clement looked like he was the better QB out of Hall and himself. Hall looked better in camp but Clement is far more mobile and seemingly just as accurate as Hall when the lights come on. Hall had a LOT of chances to do something and he never did. Etienne was our leading receiver with 2 catches for 31 yards.

Traffic is hIlariously bad. People are going to be freaking out lol

It may also be because the Bombers are virtually silent in this city, unless you are a regular CJOB listener. I doubt most people even knew there was a game tonight. The Bombers rely on the press to get the word out rather than advertising. And the press shits on the Bombers on a daily basis so I don't find it all that surprising.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final is also tonight

Actually he is in junior, not CIS. Pretty sure he can go back but I bet they keep him on the practice roster with the big club.
