do or die

Just look at all the years we didn't win with Milt Stegall because the o-line wasn't good enough or we didn't have a good qb.... there's other places to break the bank, not at receiver. I'd take Dressler on the team, but not at any price.

This would be a great move. Walter having knowlege of the draft and Danny Mac extensive contacts down south.

The total ineptitude of this organization.... to find and develop young QB's continues, it seems forever.......we finished investing 3-4 years on Elliott, Brink and Goltz....and currently end up with Boltus....
 
Gawd...
 
That said, playing Boltus in short yardage/red zone situations.....is yet another clear reason to dump the HC/OC, moving forward....

From top to bottom, players and coaches.....we have created an entire culture of excuse making, round these parts.   

What some folks fail to realize is....that at this point....firing Burke is no longer an option.
 
It is a prerequisite.
 
That is....if you actually want to create some sort of "new attitude", round these parts
 
...and are simply tired of this guy's excuses, his playing "not to lose", the lack of leadership and purpose, the failure to take any responsibility whatsoever, the inadequate preparation for games, the unsound on-field decisions, and finally......his standing around along the sidelines, looking like Huckleberry Hound, after Clementine dumped him yet again.......  
 
I know that I am.  
 
Never mind Monday......Burke should be fired, even before the sound of Saturday's final gun, fades into the night.

Generally, the HC has a major input, in personnel decisions......unless we buy the theory that Burke was/is just a helpless puppet/victim of Mack. 
 
Burke IS responsible.... for maximizing the talents of the existing personnel on the field, overseeing the activities of the assistant coaches, making needed in-game adjustments, making the correct in-game decisions and providing a motivational/leadership example for both the staff and the players.....
 
How would people grade him, on those?

Prefer just about any lineup, that doesn't include Cauchy Muamba......this guy is simply the defensive equivalent.....of Brock Ralph. 

Even back in the pre-season, Burke looked and talked like a guy who was way over his head, as a HC.
 
Frankly, at this stage......nothing has changed.

Ok, found one:
 
Bob:     Bombers bumble their way, right out of the gate.
Mike:    Horrible 1st Quarter, down 17 nothing.
Leroy:  With this O, the game is already over.
Tad:     Cauchy Muamba stinks.
Bubba: Jovon should hang it up.
Mike:    Goltz has no pocket poise whatsoever.
Joe:      My arm is stronger, than Max Hall's. 
Bob:     Boatman wouldn't make a good pool rack
Tad:     Nice O playbook, would take 2 mins to read
Tom:    That Do or Die fella, gonna have fun with this one
Leroy:   Does he really drink all that gin?
Harry:   Does he really have any choice?

Great....

We are a western city. Period. Our great history and tradition lies in the West. 

So, how long will it take us to fire up the ole rivalries with BC, Edmonton, and Calgary? Try about 5 minutes. To say nothing of the utter craziness, we'll have going on with the Riders, as a actual division rival....... 

As far as this "tougher division" stuff.....we just have to wipe our noses, hitch up our pants and get on with it. 

Washington .... been boosting this guy, since early last year......great speed, instincts and a pretty good hitter to boot....
Markett .... Banjo Bowl was his big coming out party....as far as actually making plays
Wild ...... every week, this kid just looks more and more..... like a serious football player......
Turner .... when healthy and in beast mode (like Sunday).....he sets the (relentless) tone, and creates opportunity for the entire D..
Dunn....coaches are solidly in his corner, during his learning curve....
H. Muamba - takes some flack, but with the right coaching, can/will be a ratio busting fixture.....very few MLBs have his range and quickness...
 
Some young building blocks......all right.

If he can even just elongate the phrase "look out" a bit..... he's an upgrade on our right side of the line. 

Before Douglas was hurt....he was average.  Now that may make him look like the great hope, compared to what else is going on, with the OL.....but seriously, we need some competent import OL's, to bridge the gap, while the young Canucks develop - assuming they are developing, under this coaching staff.......

Been a certain amount of sentiment, that we have had enough shake up this year.....and that Burke and Creehan should finish out the year.....
 
What on earth for?  So we can watch even more of this total ineptitude and incompetence?
 
Watching Burke.....the players have completely tuned him out....and he stands on the sidelines, with the ole 5000 yd stare.  Firing him now, would simply be a mercy killing.  As far as Creehan......accomplished nothing in Steeltown...and is doing pretty well the same here.   If the idea is to have the young guys who are considered keepers....improve consistency and fundamentals....it will not and should not be with this coaching staff.
 
While we are at it.....at NFL cutdown....just back up a tandem trailer....and get some of these laggard import players, right out of here..... In today's game, Suber defended his first pass this year.  Way too late.  Boatman is a joke.  J.J is on his last legs, our import receivers are completely uninspiring.  Cauchy Mumaba made his first play of the year - on a fluke INT.  Any QB worth a look....should be scrutinized, as well.....
 
The team is completely dead in the water....pushed around physically.... the most pumped up and excited guy.....was the field kicker.....no joke. Terrible offensive playbook, static and vanilla D schemes, no ability to prepare a team for a game or make adjustments later, a head coach who looks like Huckleberry Hound on death row, and a bunch of veteran players who frankly, don't seem to have what it takes......
 
Glad I'm not Wade Miller.....
 

OK, perhaps too much emphasis on firings.....
 
Ready for some cuttings, though.....time some people on the field, take their share of the responsibility for this debacle....

Still mystified why everybody assumed that if we were in the ring, on Picard, it would of been a slam dunk.   Guy already had blown town, once...

Despite all the theories.....perhaps Labatte just really, really wanted to play in his hometown, for the right price.....
