I just find it weird that people get stoked when Etienne get 3 receptions for 60 yards or when Simpson runs for 75 yards. I remember Roberts getting 120 yards many times and when we'd have stats like Stegall, Armstrong and Edwards all well over 75 each in a game. It just seems so weird that literally nobody on our team is excelling (outside of our d-line) and we are so far down the list in each of the stats columns. I can't imagine really anyone on the team making All Star aside from the d-line guys.

Somewhat copied from the message i wrote on the other site but.... Remember back in the day , not even so long ago when you and your friends would go to the game and would be "disappointed" if Khari/Glenn didn't throw near 300 yards, a few TD's , and Roberts was always over the century mark and Stokes would be expected to get at least one big return per game. You would expect the defense to actually make a few interceptions or someone like Barrin would strip the ball and the offense would get some fantastic field position. Back when our only major complaint was that Westwood was still on the team and that our placekicker would be the shits while Jon Ryan would boom some huge punts. I used to go to the game with my friends and generally expect more times then not for our team to win at home. What really sucks is most of my casual bomber fan friends have absolutely zero interest in going to the game anymore... I'm thinking the team is going to really struggle selling tickets at the end of this year and next season. Fast forward to these days , when I watch the Blue play, It's nearly a miracle if they get a win and for the most part I go into the game hoping that they don't embarrass themselves and keep it competitive. I only expect us to win if the defense has an insanely over the top fantastic game (like against Montreal) and if our QB actually can go over 200 yards passing and our rb is over 60 yards running to me that's almost like a Tecmo Bowl like stats and it's a huge success. It's just weird because I look back and remember complaining about Glenn getting shell shocked and on a crap day he'd throw 250 yards and Roberts would only get 70 or so yards on the ground and I'd think that used to be a stinker. Has anyone else lowered their own bar of expectations massively as much as I?

It's starting to get bad when I go online to check the score to see if the game is worth watching on the PVR..... after seeing 128 yards passing I'd rather save the 3 hours and watch something else..... that is not a good thing. Has this defense intercepted a pass this year? I don't even think Marshall old crap soft defense being this bad.... it seems like every qb gets 70% and higher completion with 3 tds and 0 ints every game. It seems like forever since this team has actually made an opposing QB struggle or returned a pick 6..... Oh well, how many games until they throw Max Hall to the wolves? I'm guessing 3?

Stop before you really embarrass yourself anymore.... Tillman sucks as a GM, even when they did win in Saskatchewan nearly everyone said it was the players that Shivers brought in with Austin being the coach that gave them the cup. Tillman has had way more misses then wins with his trips around the league, he's a dirt bag, more crazy then Mike Kelly, and he's simply a moron. The complete wrong person the team should hire.

Edmontons defense looked worse that's for sure.... they play soft and so far back that it's easy to kill them with short to medium passes.

Watched most of the game and all I can say is wow Edmonton must have Crowton calling plays because it seems like they love to long bomb it whenever they are struggling to win back some time of possession. Is Edmonton's D-Coordinator Greg Marshall? Because that defense was so soft and pathetic it was really quite sad. JC Sherritt looks absolutely the shites this season.... poor tackling all around for Edmonton they really need an ass kicking or at least some kind of consequences. LeFevour looked good out there, Hamiltons secondary blows and wow that team takes a lot of dumb penalties. One thing I did notice was that the TI-Cats seemed to have way more intensity this game then Edmonton did. Lots of big tackles and lots of energy from them. Dumbest moment of the night..... Edmonton fans screaming and cheering when they are in the red zone all while the o lineman is waving his hands for them to quiet down.... so in return they go louder?

I thought Drew chopped his hair this year?

Anyone think that Mack either makes a trade or brings anyone in to jump in on our o-line? Clearly it's a weak area and is their any fringe guys waiting for their NFL shots that we can maybe bring in once they get cut?? Think we have anyone of value on the club that we can make a trade to get a starter? Does JJ have enough value anymore for this?> Any thoughts?

No point in firing any of the coaching staff during this season.... FINALLY we got Burke to make the right decision and start Goltz so we might as well ride this wave and give Goltz his experience and then next off season we sign a new OC to run the offense.

wasnt he with us during the kelly year?

Forget not him saying post game that he thought the receivers were out of place, blamed the defense and said that he also wasn't quite the best for that lost.... when in fact he was outright garbage missing targets by a long mile and holding onto the ball for way to long. At least Calvillo admitted that he stunk....

The guy was outplayed by Goltz who had 14 career passes and who did not have our best receivers playing in that game..... Pierce also has what 6 more CFL years of experience then him? Bucko also has shown to be very selfish and while he's a warrior for being tough, the guy has no honour at all and really he sh ould stick to his restaurant and be happy to collect a pay cheque this year.

From the unknown poster

People were saying this 2 seasons ago.... I guess Burke needed 2 years of game footage to come up with the same answer that a casual fan could come up with....

I don't get all the Buck worshipping, his play was substandard and this year he was not a huge team player. Remember his post game interview where he blamed mostly the team and receivers and only took a slight bit of accountability. IMO him getting sacked a lot does not make him a legend... Glenn accomplished way more then buck ever did.....

Dump Buck get someone who could mentor our guys. Any retired qbs that we can bring in?

I guess Burke has been reading these threads, I wish we had put goods in from the start but I guess better now then later when the season is really over.

So 5 games in they make the right qb move... I wonder if Burke or crowton w will be next?

That time was like a year and a half ago.... the club is only now doing something that many fans suggested a long time ago.

I was being sarcastic because on ob.com people would cry if the club made any big move without taking the person being axed feelings in consideration. I.e obby khan or lapolice...

This is great news, I wonder if they will bring in a cfl vet as a 3rd string?

So are they on the hook for a few years on his contact? I think this was a classless move by Montreal to only give the guy five games.

I don't see the point in trading for Collaros or however it's spelled, why bother we still have a crap o line and a crap gameplan. Plus Goltz showed not bad and we still haven't given Max Hall a chance yet....

You mean they didn't call for Collaros to bomb the 2nd pass in the game and they actually used a backup rb more then 4 times in the first half! As someone else said they gave him high percentage throws and allowed the receivers to make plays.... i wish we could do that. It's almost like when they did that with jade he would turn it up the field and would maybe get some good yac....
