Mr Dee

By all means let's wait 'til at least Friday and soon thereafter.
 
We wanted action, we're getting action.
We wanted out O-line looked at - check
We wanted to see what our QBs could do - check
More offence - work in progress
 
Behind the scenes things are rapidly occurring and they're certainly not being done to try and miss the playoffs.
I mean who the hell cares who called whom and which coach tagged Hall to start.
If these guys can get us on the same page and get some wins, I wouldn't care if they brought Dinwiddie back. (ok, maybe that's too far)
 
Call it what you want but if we come out further ahead at the end of this, then we all got what we wanted in the 1st place. (ok maybe not 1st place)

The overall plan failed and that sucks. But there were parts of the plan like acquiring draft picks instead of trading them away and trying to improve our NI talent that were not a failure. Building from within is a good plan in theory rather than going the Taman route and overpaying aging vets. Yeah our overall record under Mack was crap and I'm not broken up that he was fired but I'm also not going to re-write history to say everything he did was bad.

OT - Khari was on the Amazing Race Canada last night!  I was disappointed that the Winnipeggers in the race didn't say something like "that Green looks terrible on you Khari!" or something to that effect.  Oh maybe they did, and it was edited out.

He got a couple games to show what he could could do and was unimpressive. Now another guy is getting the same chance. How is that being screwed? The only person he should be pissed off with is himself for not playing better. Same goes for Pierce. They should keep their mouths shut and realize this is professional football not kindergarden. If either one of them gets another chance they'd do well to remember that.

Does no one remember what some other CFL starters looked like when they were rookies? Durant for one was roundly criticized on fan boards.

Lawless should go to his LEAK and find out the answers for us!

Bad idea.
I understand your desire to ferret out the snitch, that is not the way to go about it.

Miller....a passionate football guy, who love the Bombers. How can that be wrong?
 
1st step in the right direction....it's a start.

It isn't his fault it got leaked, it's his his timing to fire him now.
He could have recommended they come up with a list of names to replace Mack...just not now, while we're technically still in it.
A football man would know this.
 
Couldn't he wait to meet with the board at least?
 
Buchko doesn't get blamed for everything in my books, but he's like a new graduate form the military academy and he's running our frigging ship!

Age one, but he was walking earlier.

Here we go again....
 
Was it a plumbing company this time?

This leak and 'impending' firing is bullfrog.
Do it....or don't do it, but to drag it out is s_t_u_p_i_d.
 
Listen, I don't know what's in the works as far as scouting NFL cuts and talking with potential neg. list personnel but I would suspect there is some on-going activity and there might even be some on-going trade talks.
Now what?
 
Mack should have been talked to and these things figured out before this info. came out.

.....I don't want poor coverage like our secondary?
 
.....Can you teach me more about flashing?
 
.....Does soffit apply to helmet design?
 
 
Which it? ....Am I close?

Did i just miss the part where he said "vastly improved?"

Burke never said the team was "good"or that they "vastly improved". We lost to the Lions , a very good team, by 7 points with a QB making his 2 carreer pro start. I know you have a massive man crush on Buck but coming on here to misquote Burke to try and make him look bad is rather pathetic.

And what precisely is blasting a QB with exactly two career starts under his belt going to do aside from destroy his confidence?  We already saw Goltz's nerves come up during the game .. let's put more pressure on the guy to perform.  In all honesty, Burke was quite candid (with both the pros and cons) and very even keeled in his assessment of the game.  He's also right in that a few more plays on the offensive side of the ball .. this could have been a much different game than it was.
 
There are going to be growing pains .. and ANYONE who thought Goltz would come in and shoot the lights out was sadly mistaken .. guys have to learn to win .. learn how to play through adversity .. learn to play together.  For Goltz, it's learning to battle (and keep things level) when things aren't going his way .. a guy has to be allowed to make mistakes .. so that he can develop.

I thought Jovon Johnson had a really solid game.

Maybe because he's the QB coach who was helping his QB in only his second game starting?
Could that possibly be it?

Iso, you're really going to have to bone up on statements made on this here forum.
1st of all...there is no present rumour on Barker....nor Ray.
I wasn't serious.
Perhaps one gitch size larger would free up more....blood flow.

You don't understand, we gotta get this Mike Riley before Edmonton does.

So that means your second response is a joke, right?

Well. let's take a look at that statement, as to coaching.
And I'm giving Barker all kinds of credit  here for stepping out and hiring Miianovich and Jones as their coaches.
Imagine that pair in Blue and Gold and for sure you would see a different direction in the fates of those respective teams.

Well Iso. that's a huge surprise to us!
 
No, really...shocking.
 
Replaced?...you say...

It's a vote of confidence for Goltz, which he deserves. This is the proper way to develop a QB. He's had time to develop in our system and now they feel he's earned the job without having to deal with the same **** guys like Brink and Elliott did on a weekly basis. This is really the proper way to do it. Saying he's the starting QB for the rest of the year gives him a chance to work through issues without feeling like he is at risk.

Sorry, I forgot cheeky emoticons to express the playful nature of my response... Did you actually want a response, or are you just asking rhetorical questions to nobody in particular?
 
As a fellow fan I'm legit sorry for you that you're a self-described 'Buck guy'. I wanted so bad to see him succeed for his sake and for the sake of the Bombers, but that's clearly not in the cards.
 
But really, why make this call at all? Forgive me if I'm failing to grasp your point, but that sounds like you'd rather see them stick with Buck at least til the bye week. I wholeheartedly disagree with you if that's the case, he should have been demoted at the very least back in the off season, and Goltz should be getting the starters share of reps RFN. I stand by my remark that it's the right call to make so it doesn't matter who made it. And you know what this team need even less than 'more distractions'? More losses. Something had to give and soon. This was the best move they've made all season.
