No Mitch was complaining that the guys were switching on and off the field and Doug pointed out to Mitch that is how the Bombers d have been playing over the last 2 seasons and it's simply how Burke runs his d-line.

An ugly game indeed and it does make me feel better to see other teams play like crap. That Harris qb is god awful and clearly can only run a qb draw and nothing more.

I liked Swaggerville because the players showed some life and energy. Forget not how PUTRID the offense was during swaggerville days and how the defense held us together during those many 2 and outs and bad field position scenarios. Mike - We cut our best qb because he didn't listen not because of talent. Buck is a great team player and a great human being. Unfortunately for Burke that does not equate to wins and production from the offense. I'd be shitting bricks if I was Burke considering in both pre season games every single qb (aside from ours) moved the ball and scored points. Even in years past with Kelly and Berry we had jobbers like Justin Holland or Richie Williams who could look good in pre season (and then fizzle out once they play against real defenses). We were playing against back ups and yet still managed to stink the joint up. If we don't score 30+ points in Hamilton then full blown crisis will take over Bomber nation fans. I'm at least satisfied with knowing that if things don't work out this year... at least next year we can rebuild and criticize a new coach and a new group of players! No more threads on Buck and Jade and our poop o line!

Pierce as a 3rd stringer qb coach I have no problem with that. I'm sounding like a broken record but to me it's desperation from Burke and instead of having a long term plan he's praying Pierce plays well and that he saves his job for another year or two. It's kind of weird that so many Bomber fans have the same feeling of hoping Pierce goes out with a season ending injury early in order to push Burke to use Goltz/Hall. Or to at least push Mack to trade for Glenn...

Mike what are these red flags you speak of? (I don't disagree but I think it would be good to recap on them!) I don't mind Burke's approach, my only concern similar to LaPo is that the lockeroom does not really respect him and with this young team we may have guys being unmotivated (i.e. playing way below their normal level).

Mike - I lost faith this off season when they didn't give Buck the axe or at least demote him to 3rd string and move into a new direction. If Buck comes back as the starter after being knocked out then I will lol and will anxiously await who will be our new HC next season.

Mike are you a hater?

Glenn wasn't often injured, he would be rattled and play scared if he was hit but it wasn't nearly as bad as Buck. With Buck it's simply delaying the inevitable....so for our sakes hopefully Hall gets some decent game time and shows that he can play and by mid season he can at least be serviceable once Buck brakes whatever bones he has left that are healthy. This isn't a huge surprise, we all knew and know what the deal is this year after Mack released Elliott...

It was 100% Mitch who questioned the rotation , claiming that the guys could not get into a groove since they kept going on and off the field.

From the radio show they made it seem like Goltz was great in his brief play, Hall played well. Lucas and Markett stood out on defense where everyone else was absolute 100% garbage. Renaud had a good game as well. Burke really hated the play of the 2nd unit of lb'ers... anyone know who that was? Sounds like they are gonzo.

Ok I somewhat take it back, Doug mentioning being waked up from a coma wasn't really appropriate. Kind of sounded whiny and that was unnecessary.

I didn't watch the game, but based on the comments on here and the other site and from CJOB it sounded like our defense was god awful. I appreciate Mitch and Dougie being negative on the radio, I hate when radio guys don't tell it as it is and downplay how bad the home team is playing. I'm not shocked by them getting handed.... the last few years have stayed fresh in my memory to this date and I still have serious questions of Burke being the Head Coach of the club. I don't think he has the respect of the players and this team over the last few years has not looked organized or prepped at all.

The general attitude at my work place.... everyone thinks the Bombers will be horrendous and will lose out the season and have no interest in seeing the game for the game itself. The only ones who want to go to the game are the ones who want a nice hot sunny day to get wasted off over priced beers....

This site needs a thread where people can post random non Football videos! I'll start! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkByAkAdZs

My own studies have shown that old men in hats, east indian women , any asian under 5'5 , any teen girl dressed like a hoochie, any one who owns a truck that lives in the country, everyone in Quebec and any men having a mid life crisis driving a convertible..... all of these people can not drive for **** whether they are on medication or not!

So was Argo Dave Access Blue? Either way it was annoying that someone would troll the old site, not very cool. I noticed Colin originally had a burst of topics and participation, but that has all but gone now. This site needs more Do Or Die thoughts/opinions and definitely this site needs more gifs!!!

I'm sure half the players from the States are into some kind of drugs, it's not a huge surprise. What's disappointing as said before is that he didn't disclose it to the team in advance, that's quite unprofessional of him

Still surprised that they'd go with a name that could be taken as racist.....

Some of us don't have that option when at work..... And also IE is the 2nd best browser out there.... Firefox has been the absolute drizzling poops for the last 2 years and sadly Chrome is also starting to get a bit shakey with each release...

This is fantastic news that you guys ended up switching to this board, that other site I linked to you has lots of nice neat features that can be added in at any time and they've tinkered with it quite a bit and it seems very easy to add things on the fly. I like the look and the layout, and maybe a bit of gold might be nice, but I'm digging the grey and the blue.

Well every year we have qbs that look fantastic in pre season and then tank once people really start to play.... I will say though.... no matter who they have behind Pierce.... it couldn't be as bad as it has been the last few years.... plus Kevin Glenn is a quick phone call and late round draft pick trade away....

http://ourbombers.com/phpbb/ will take you to the "new" site....

It appears the "other" site has a very similar new look to this site, the only difference is the slightly better color scheme they have going..... verrrrrrry interesting

Won't someone please think about the children!!!
