In fairness to Buck he was under siege for most of the game... HOWEVER many of those plays he hung onto the ball way to long.
He definitely needed to do his Kevin Glenn impression and make some quick passes to help suppress the massive blitzes.
Burke needs to choose his words more wisely.... I wouldn't be happy with less then 100 yards unless the rb was running for over 200....
But has that been confirmed yet?
It's been confirmed that it is not Adrian McPherson... though he did tweet that he's waiting for the gm to call him. So that is *an* option.
I wonder really if he will make it to the end of the season..... the post game show excuses from Burke about the defense not expecting certain players and plays was extremely weak sauce .....
It's disappointing that guys like Isaac Anderson and Doug Pierce didn't step up and steal the jobs away.... but fortunately receivers are dime a dozen and we need some guys who can give a full effort and make the catches.... Edwards has shown life in the last few games it would be nice if others did the same
No way in hell Glenn is going to get traded by Calgary... not a chance. Me thinks Tate would be more likely purely because they don't want his injury issues.
I don't think we should cut Denmark , just feels like he's a good scapegoat....
I'd be shocked if Boatmen still is on the team after NFL cuts...
No way Buck is getting cut... *UNLESS* they bring in Jyles purely for the irony and/or they make a trade for Tate..... I definitely do think Tate is probably the only CFL vet they could acquire via trade.
I'm going to say next vets to get the boot will be Denmark, Suber , Palardy, and probably someone else in the secondary....
Anyone making any bets on who gets axed next?
I think they'll also bring in some retreads... maybe Romby Bryant, Lobendahn or even Jyles
Well in fairness the Blue were not expecting both Hall and Pierce to go down with injuries so they probably were looking at a body to come in as a 3rd stringer/4th guy.
So I won't crucify them if it is Boltus.
I will crucify them if they don't bring in new blood at o-line and receiver though....
He was 16 for 26 tonight... and 21 for 25 against BC...
I know Mack is gone and it hurts... but no reason to just make things up...
He didn't look completely lost out there, just made some bad decisions and rookie mistakes... go figure!
And yet Toronto had 8 penalties for 113 yards and Calgary had 6 penalties for 70 yards.
I counted at least 5 major penalties that were missed.... I don't see how they didn't call the facemasks when it happened right in front of the refs faces!
He looks like he is playing hurt.
He's getting plenty of time to make the throws and his receivers seem to be making the plays moreso then dropping them. Just seems like he's missing his throws quite a bit. The playcalling also was atrocious... they completely abandoned Harris and made it seem real easy to predict what they would do on every down....
Am I the only one who watched the game?
What I saw was some absolute one sided reffing... blatant face mask, offsides, horse collared tackles by Toronto that went uncalled. Then the opposite where Calgary was getting dinged for some really questionable calls. When Gord Miller starts pointing out how bad it is then you know something is up.
For the game.... Calgary receivers made some big plays.... Bo Levi looked more human but still good enough to hang in the league.
Collaros seemed to depend on his cannon arm and made some expected rookie mistakes. Chad Owens did not come to play at all tonight. Toronto's defense is pretty weak sauce.
Was amazed at the stats they showed of Ray's last 100 passes and with nearly 70% of them for going 9 yards or less...
Mack was very good at recruiting import players in every position with unfortunately the exception of QB and O-line......
I don't think mack was sipping drinks and sitting on his ass doing nothing..... I do however think his method of getting his own players and completely ignoring quality free agents definitely bit him in the ass in the end.
