  1. Bye Week Changes

    I think you're right, though the KABOOM will likely come after Labour Day/pre Banjo Bowl -- when we're already out of it -- just to see if the shake-up gets more bums in the seats. 

    The move will have to be done by the Board though.  Can't see Mack making any drastic moves as he'll point to the fact that the East is bad.

  5. Best Coaches Since 2000

    did he really say that? if so it's a good move. Being able to know when you need help is a big part of being successful I think. And really I don't think it's about admitting that they have no clue so much as they want an outsider to help determine if the problem is with the way the players are prepared or if the players simply aren't good enough. If he's willing do get an outside perspective maybe there's hope that Burke can turn himself into a better coach with some time and experience. One of Mike Kellys biggest flaws was that he refused to admit that anything he did might have been the problem. If Burke is willing to say "gee maybe the problem is me" then there's hope that he can learn from that. 

    SOmetimes the best solution is to get the opinion  from someone on the outside looking in.  No biased opinion, just calling it like it is.

    What get's me is the factual errors in their articles. Even Ed Tait (Freep) said in his latest article that the Bombers have only thrown for 2 TD's through 5 games this season. I mean... come on.

    DIRECT QUOTE: Fact: The Bombers, as a team, threw for only 16 passing TDs a year ago and are on a slower pace this season with just two through the first five games.

     

    Well, I'm pretty sure that Chris Matthews was the first Bomber to catch a TD at IGF, and J Detain scored another 2 in our most recent game against Calgary... this is only off the top of my head. The writers in both papers are awful and getting worse.

     

    Pulitzer Prize? Not even worth a participant ribbon.

    Mathews & Denmark in Game 1. and Etienne had 2 last Friday

    Does anyone really care what Garth, Bell or Mack have to say? All were gonna get from them is a bunch of canned cliches ......I prefer to see actions, rather than hear words.If talent is the issue , then bring in new guys. If coaching is the issue, then bring in new coaches.If the GM is the problem,then find a new one. A few quotes in a newspaper means nothing to me.

    Joe Mack should be front and center, if not for the media but to the fans that by now (most likely) flooded their twitter time line and facebook page with loads of complaints.

     

    Butchko will only be heard when Mack is canned.  Expecting otherwise is ridiculous.

    It's not just a football ops question.  It's a question of which way are we going to go and it's completely valid to question the guy who is going to have to 'pull the pin' on the decision.  I'd hope that Buchko would dance around the answer, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked.  Getting his opinion on which way he is leaning is what the fans want to know.  

     

    Young and Wetenhall are owners and I have seen Young asked questions about Hamilton's struggles.  Buchko isn't.  He is the president and CEO. 

    My mistake, when Kirk Penton wanted to ask Butchko about the 1-4 start, he really want to talk about concessions

  13. So What's The Problem?

    and it seems to me that wild is doing ok out there so really it looks like Dunn is the guy who kept things from falling apart.... who knew? 

    I don't think Dunn is the difference between our secondary forgetting how to tackle and Jovon looking like he had no idea what he was doing.

    But as Bluto pointed out, if (most likely when) Mack gets canned, it will be Butchko who fires him, and he'll also sadly be in charge of hiring a new GM as well. That in itself is reason enough to get comments from him. He does have a role when it comes to the on field product.

    Correct! When Mack gets canned, he will answer, but when the Sun states they want a response in regards to a 1-4 start, what were they hoping for an answer when talking to Garth?

  16. Burke Comments

    I don't hide the fact that I'd love to see Jovon replaced. Being burned by Sam Giguere, one of the most painfully average players in the entire league, is just plain not acceptable. I just don't think it's happening based on Burke's comments and the fact that Sears will have to play SAM for the next while.

    You could hear Rod Black wet his shorts on that play.

    At least he doesn't say  "Need to look at the game film" ,   honesty is at least something redeeming. 

     

    That being said it looks like he was cutting a WWF Ultimate Warrior Promo.....  

     

    I honestly thought of this guy when I saw the vid.  If this were the WWE, we just witnessed the very first CFL heel turn

    anyone who makes inference about this in any kind of fashion that might be construed as a jinxing said inference should be banned from the site.

     

    Sounds like Walker back in for them. They say he's a more explosive runner, but isn't a very good pass blocker (which is why he's been sitting...)

     

     

    Knowing what the D-Line has done in the first 2 weeks, you would think they would like some extra protect back there.
