He made good decisions on when to not force that throw, when to leave the pocket, Buck has experience, Goltz has intelligence.  Looks like he has the arm and he's dangerous on the move.  Liked the improvising, one play in particular to Etienne was something great.  Gives us way more options because of his abilities. 

There were lots of positives to be had out there. The defense looked pretty good, yeah they made some mistakes and msised some plays (should have at least knocked down the ball on that Green td and probably should have come up with the pick) They had Calvillo rattled from the get go and that's very encouraging going forward. Dunn looked real good at sam, didn't notice parker a lot but that's probably ok at this point, the d-line I thought was very good, Secondary was pretty decent too. People like to rag on JJ for that PI, but even though he did get his hands on Bruce I think it's bullshit to single out the defender when there was that much fighting going on between the two. Bruce was interfering with Johnson as much as vice versa so while JJ did interfere I think in that situation you gotta let em fight or call the receiver for his interference as well. 
 
Offensively there were a lot of good things too, but the elephant in the room was Pierce. He flat out needs to be better. Noeller has been trying to tell me all morning that it's just rust it'll be fine, I just saw too much of what many of us were worried about leading up to the season... that being that Pierce is not the guy to be a consistent pocket passer. If he doesn't step up his game bigtime and become a dangerous passer I'm sadly going to be rooting for an injury to the guy so we can at least get someone with potential to get better in there because right now it's wasting a lot of talent. There were a lot of plays left on the field out there and the patented Pierce int on the sidelines showed up on the first throw! Pierce has been throwing too many of those balls to defenders the last couple seasons and it puts the team in a real bad spot.

I think the problem with Markham is that it is a gravel road.  I don't know if it could take that amount of bus traffic.
 
They need to make the curb lane, heading towards the stadium on University Crescent, the designated bus lane.  There is a bus loop on Pembina that loops the buses into that curb lane. 
 
So buses would take the loop like they always do and merge into the curb lane.  Cars would also enter the same way they always do, but at the point were the buses merge onto University Crescent, they could put cones up and funnel the curb lane cars to the left lane and the left lane cars onto the outgoing lane on the other side. That would leave one outgoing lane for any residents that would want to leave.
 
That way the buses would never have to stop.  And they would be able to drop people off in front of the stadium without making people walk across the street.
 
I would also make Chancellor Matheson one way, (All lanes going in.), 60 minutes prior to the start of the game.  If Students and Profs need to get out they can use the outgoing lane on University Crescent or Kings Dr.
 
At the end of the game, they should make all lanes going out on Chancellor Matheson.  (They could start that at the beginning of the 4th quarter and end it when everyone is out.)
If your heading north, use the 2 right lanes and if your heading south use the 2 left lanes. 
 
They would need to employ some traffic cops at the mouth of Chancellor Matheson as they did in the first game.

If they fix the way the buses work it won't have to take that long.
 
I took the bus at 820 Taylor. (Park and Ride.)  I was there at around 5:20, (The first bus was supposed to arrive at 5:37.), and by that point there already around 200 people lined up.  That was for the first bus and the line was growing.
 
I had to wait for a second bus, because the first one filled up so fast.  However, once I got on the bus it took very little time to get from 820 Taylor to University Crescent.
 
It took 40 minutes to get from the beginning of University Crescent to the stadium.  All they need to do is designate a lane for the buses and that will cut the time from 40 minutes to about 5. If University Crescent was flowing properly, I think I could have got there at around 6. 
 
If they can make taking the bus more palatable, then more people will use them, which means less people will be driving in.  Less people driving in means less congestion which means getting to the stadium will be faster.
 
That will reduce the time it takes to the stadium considerably.  I truly think that they can hit the 60 minute threshold.
 
Lucky for the Winnipeg Football Club there are some simple solutions to the problem here.

I really hope Jade Etienne becomes the Manitoba posterboy for why people need to shut up and let development run it's course before trying to label a guy a bust.

Burke may not like it, but I do.
 
You want effort? There's effort.
