  1. How much did Pierce talk to him during the game? I think if Pierce wants to stay in Winnipeg in any capacity, he needs to step up a bit and take on the QB coach role. Prove he can help the young guys out more. Otherwise, why is he even here?

    I think the whole "Pierce is such a nice guy" thing is a bit of a facade. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I've never seen him help any of the QB's on the sideline, even when he was hurt bad and really couldn't play. You watch a good team and when the starter is sidelined and he's a vet, you almost always see him standing beside the HC and helping the QB that's filling in because that vet wants his team to win no matter what. Pierce seems somewhat satisfied watching his team fail when he's not starting. Yeah sure, you don't want someone taking your job, but you should thinking about your future as a coach or something.

    Lapo got us to a grey cup and was plagued with injuries at the beginning of 2012. Then, just as the guys were coming back from injury and they started succeeding, Mack fired him like the tool he was. I'm not saying he was a great coach, but I think he was pretty decent.

  3. It was Lapo's decision to fire Barresi and Lapo chose Crowton. Barresi was really upset over his being fired and made the scapegoat by Lapo since he had little to no control over the offence. Personally I believe Lapo hired Crowton over a coach with CFL experience so he could keep his grip on the offence while Crowton was learning the league. This is certainly evidenced by the fact the offensive play book was part Lapo/part Crowton and the comments after Lapo was fired about the offence now having one voice.

    Now this I buy.  Makes total sense since LaPo was an Offensive control freak.

  4. I wouldn't have paid anything for any of it.  What are they going to do anyway, especially if they're in the US?

     

    I work as an internal systems admin for a large company and one of the many things I do is purchase equipment and I get a lot of stupid phone calls from people wanting to sell me crap.  Let me tell you something, if a company is dumb enough to send me something for "free" that I didn't sign my name to, put my credit card to, or create a Purchase Order for, then I wouldn't pay a cent to them for anything.  I would have kept it all and not bothered to pay the invoice if they told me it was free.  Especially if you're in Canada and they're in the US...wtf are they going to do?  It's just a big scam.  If you never gave them your credit card (very good on your part BTW) then they can't call your credit card company.

     

    I remember once some magazine company sent me a Pittsburgh Steelers magazine and when I requested it online it said try one issue for "Free".  Then all of a sudden I started receiving a magazine once a month and I was like...whatever.  Then I was sent an invoice and I was thinking...I never bought anything, screw them.  I emailed the company telling them I'm not paying for this and I never subscribed to anything and if they want their magazines back they better send me some shipping because I'm not paying for anything.  They sent back an email saying they were so sorry and left me alone after that.

     

    Always go on the offensive when dealing with these kinds of companies.  Like THEY put you out or the world is crumbling around you and how dare they ruin your summer etc....  b i t c h like their's no tomorrow and eventually they'll get so tired of dealing with you they'll just leave you alone.  Even if it's not your style to do that, do it anyway.  You have to almost act like (please no one take this as me being racist cause I'm not) a bitchy black woman.  Just go up and down on them like they just attacked your kids.

     

    Hopefully everything works out for you and you can stop thinking about this crap.

  5. Bombers aren't sure if Buck will be healthy enough to go this week but even after that here's this great nugget...

     

    From the Freep just now:

     

    Insane.

     

    Yeah, that was pulled from the interview after the game.  You can watch it here:

    And you know what, when Goltz was on camera, he acted really professional.  I'm liking this guy more and more, and I've only watched him play for a little more then a quarter.

  6. It's a shame if it goes down like this .. I think Creehan / Burke are tremendous coordinators and losing them (and the influence over our defense) would hurt .. hopefully the team can right the ship and we can make some progress.

    Agreed.  Burke just never seemed like a good HC to me.  And the even dumber thing is, if you listen to his interview after the game.  If Buck hadn't gotten hurt, he would never have pulled him.

     

    Sigh...

  7. CFL website has Goltz at 13-15 for 170 yards no tds no ints... seems like there's something there, we know Pierce doesn't have it anymore and yeah some of those Goltz stats were garbage time but he's the most athletic qb on the roster, let's give him a shot and see if he gets better. Can't be worse than going down by several scores before the game is half over. 

    Not only did his stats look good, but he had some zip to the ball when he threw.  He seems like he has a decent arm.  After watching last night (if it wasn't beginners luck) I'm all for backing Goltz and developing him this season.  As we were talking last night, I'd still like to see Hall this season just to see what he can do, but I'm liking what I saw from Goltz.  He showed poise and promise.  Crowton just needs to work on some of his gawd awful fake plays though.
