Captain Blue

It seems Tim Burke really didn't like Palardy - and it seems likely that Mack continued to force that roster move. Two kickers in a matter of weeks already.

This is such flimsy reasoning. Weak. You can see with your OWN EYES that Buck isn't playing well. Do you also believe everything politicians tell you? Or that lawyers are always telling the truth? I sure hope so, because unless you can show me your law degree or that you're secretly Stephen Harper we should all just close and eyes and accept what they say as gospel. its a double edged sword.tho.. why do you assume hes lying? Because he's given me plenty of evidence suggesting I should question his decisions. i also saw hall and goltz not fair much better.. i assume you did too.. "Not fair much better" = better. you nor i know EXACTLY what plays were called and/audibles...we also don't know if the o-line executed properly, if the receivers ran the right routes or if the rb blocked the right gap.. So? I don't need to know the exact plays to know that Pierce can't read a blitz and makes terrible decisions on the field. so without knowing even half of this info, isn't it safe to assume your simply guessing or going by your own opinion? id take a coaches take on it over your or my own opinion any day... why? guess im just a dumb ole follower (even though I'm probably on par with you or close to it football knowledge wise and after watching the same game) For the sake of not personally attacking you I won't reply to this.

Wonder how healthy he is. Couldn't stay healthy at all as he bounced around the NFL.

He's a journeyman. Most journeymen don't amount to much, I'm afraid. First you criticize Mack for quite literally everything related to this team - and then you go and criticize the approach that you've clamoured for.

i thought all qbs looked equally crappy... i also dont have a score card or video footage to reference like the coaches do so i too tend to listen to what the coaches say over forum denizens/media.. i dont think the o-line played well.. at all.. and from what i understand, edwards was the only consistent reciever.. *shrug* i still think coaches and coordinators are the.best judges of whos doing their jobs and i cant see why they would willingly lie about players performances... especially when hes been brutally honest in the past... This is called an "authority bias" - people want to trust the people in power, even when there is evidence to suggest otherwise.

Maybe he thinks that if he says it enough it'll come true.

Just fire Tim Burke. He honestly has no idea what he's doing.

Listening to Troy Westwood is the equivalent to reading Paul Friesen.

If we are going to suck (and that is clearly the stage we are at) then at least do it with young QBs so we can see if they have any potential. For this reason, I'm okay with Goltz, Hall and Boltus (and likely someone else since Hall could be out).

You liked your own post...

Hahahahaha you never disappoint.

When is Brown not ready to fire anyone? That's kind of his thing...

I'd be okay with Brink here. If we had decent coaching to use his athleticism he could be at least an adequate placeholder. Not a big Porter fan but I will support anyone but Buck.

This is what ticks me off the most about people that just blindly hate Mack. They criticize him for things he doesn't deserve criticism for. The man built a currently 1-6 team, and one that has sucked for two years now. There is plenty of legitimate things to criticize Mack for. That does not mean every move (or non-move) he made was wrong. Fans at this point just love to revise history here and blame literally everything on him now. I could not stop facepalming through half this thread.

HOLY. ****. This is the right move, but you will have to excuse my shock. I'm not used to the team making logical decisions..

Right there with ya. I can't wait for them both to get far, far away from this team.

Super. We lost to Hamilton when our defense was good and our Pierce-led offense sucked. Now we've got a crappy defense and a Pierce-led offense. Pierce is genital herpes to this team. He's not good for you and he keeps coming back.

Tried and true. Now that he's gone Mack will be treated as the devil to every issue, regardless of whether it's his fault.

You guys aren't going by your real names? My birth certificate is Captain B. Blue. The B stands for Big.

Said we need to give our young QBs time to grow...

Playcalling will be the biggest change, in my opinion. Terminology will be a big challenge for Bellefuille, he'll have to stick with it. Many of the players have said that the playbook isn't that different from what other CFL teams run.

Let's hope so.

Which means they'll have Buck back in just in time for Labour Day... and a fifty point loss...

Not sad to see him go, though I don't think he deserved all the hate he got. OC is always an easy position to criticize. Interested to see what Bellefuille can do at the OC spot (who didn't see this move coming, honestly?). We have gone from one of the least experienced OCs to the most in one move. Time will tell if Bellefuille can do anything to save this offense. First decision for him will be to figure out who starts at QB. Have to think he goes back to Buck (/vomits). Burke and Creehan better figure out that defense quick.
