One CFL exec told me yesterday the #Bombers are in such bad shape right now, 2014 could be a writeoff as well.
YAAAAAAAAAAAY! Over/under: First win at IGF in 2015?

He should get rid of Burke before anyone.
Yep. The Burke/Buck combo need to be shown the door as well. But, i figure with the comments around the east being weak and the playoff opportunity, we're likely to see ol Bucky Boy back behind centre at some point. Greeeeeeaaaaat.

The team should not allow Lawless to conduct interviews until he gives up the name of the rat.
Don't let the guy eat until he fesses up. We'd know the source in 10 mins.

Why in the world would any player want to play for this team? Honestly. Can we attract the names we need to only selling a new stadium and a rabid fanbase?

Bucko is getting a raw deal. He had the job for a little over a year. AND he walked into a crap show. AND handled it decently. AND changed his hair.
I hear LOTS of dodging going on in this news conference. Do they really think the fans buy all this "we are righting the ship" nonsense. Hiring old buddies again.
They should, because "we" will and are.

Another positive note is that we don't have to suffer through another loss this weekend... #ByeWeekVictories
Also, it bothers me that the chair of the board doesn't know where the leak came from... GARY, anything to add???
-
Unbelievable.
Well, if individual's own agendas and inflated egos was a problem before.... LOOK OUT now.

I don't understand why we always have to reach back into the past for all our hirings.
We need to clear out the Board of Directors and everyone all the way down from there to the coaching staff and bring in some fresh blood. People that aren't tied to the successes of 25 years ago and all the failures since then. It's time for a total overhaul from top to bottom.
Yup, agreed. The problems run even deeper than board - management - coaching staff - players. It's the WHOLE damn organization. I've got good friends who work operations and even that crew is an old boys club.

Yep .. just misread that (and thanks for correcting). Still trying to get a decent level of caffiene into my system ..
I hear ya. I almost spit out my morning coffee when Lawless tweeted that if Mack goes (which he will) and Walters gets the interim tag (he will) than Buck moves up the depth chart.
Good god, one step forward, 2 steps backwards with this organization.

Looks like the Bombers are holding a press conference for 11am. I'm guessing this is to announce the dismissal of Joe Mack.
The @WPG_BlueBombers will hold a news conference at 11am ET. Details to come. #CFL
That's 10am local, fyi.

So, are we relying on Goltz to have a great game in order for him to be annointed the team's starter? Is there anything he can do to be the full time #1? I LOVE the fact that he's starting this week, I'd just hate it to be a one off, and have Buck trot back out in Week 6. I don't know how many more "he (Buck) gives us the best chance to win" bullcrap statements I can take from Burke...

Im feeling very doomy.... and gloomy about this game.
No Turner, No Gilmore, No Parker, No Watson(good bye any hope for a passing game), No Matthews, and a shitty Quarterback.
1-3 anyone?
Just be happy they don't give out 2 L's for real lopsided games!!
In all seriousness though, I'm usually on the optimistic side of us Bomber fans....but maaaaaaan, what is there to look forward to?! I just read a tweet about Buck being "fired up right now. He's angry. Looks like he wants to play right now." So, there's that. Maybe an inspired (and free to scramble) Buck pulls a similar game to 2011 vs Edm and sparks the team to a victory.
But then, well, Buck would further entrench himself as this year's starter....which, well, isn't exactly a great thing either!
-
I picked Matthews. I love the way Watson has been playing, but I just can't see Matthews playing this poorly all season.

I'm pretty sure I only have 1 strike.... took Cornish in Week 1.

I'm not sure if I'm for or against bringing KG in. What I am for is developing a QB already! We tried with Elliot, tried with Brink, tried with others before them. Now, it's on Goltz and Hall.
I want this drought of ours ended as much as anyone, and if KG was the guy to get us there (Mr.Clutch in the postseason he is not, btw) I'd support it....but when are we going to abandon the band-aid QB's and give the youngings a shot?! Sure, it's different if a healthy Buck can be a top 4 QB in this league, but he's clearly no where close...and in the first 2 games he's arguably been the biggest liability on offence.
I really can't see the Bombers making a pitch for Glenn, besides the fact that Mack has never shown a willingness to bring in an aging vet like that, the move would also raise the question of why they didn't make the move in the offseason. To date, Buck has been exactly what they should have expected him to be, even hoped to be. He hasn't been injured, and has been just good enough to give them a shot to win both games. I think that regardless of what people think, Mack, Burke and co. are not stupid, they know that they have, at best, the 7th best starting QB in the league. Now, if Buck goes down, and Goltz isn't impressive, than maybe they re-think their strategy....but don't see it happening before then.

Is it bad that I'm actually happy about this? I really want to see some more of our young guys step in; it's incredible that in our first two games, our three leading rec.eivers are all Canadian. Can't wait to see what Anderson and/or Pierce can do!
I wouldn't say I'm happy - never like to see one of our guys go down. But, this is a good test for the guys you've mentioned.
-
I'm curious as to how good people still see Mtl's o-line. Was week 1 more of a product of our stellar d-line? Because I haven't seen AC running for his life that much, well, ever..

Buck was pretty bad last night. Just rusty? INT first play of the game, oy vey! Several throws that were 4/5 yds wide of the reciever on the sidelines, no excuse for that, just poor throws.
What last night's game highlights, is that even when Buck's healthy, he's not really anything more than a mediocore starting QB in this league.

It's GAMEDAY today!!!!!
