Blue-urns

However, I can't help but think that even if Goltz plays well and we win that Buck will be leading the troops out to their deaths again once he is healthy.

I'm in the middle of watching the Tor. game and I'll tell you right now there are 2 instances that I can spot where the O-Line is doing their job and keeping the D-Line at bay...but Buck...looks underneath for the 5-yarder, on 2nd down, throws completions, but for short gains.
Now, I couldn't see if the other receivers were open further downfield but Buck had at least a few more seconds to look...but didn't.
 
And on that note, in the 1st half, the O-Line was blocking for a hole but Simpson chose to go outside, twice...to no avail.
 
I'm not going to go all out for the O-Line but sometimes they get the blame and it's misplaced.

The one thing the Bombers don't do is cut down Buck in the media.

No, what I'm suggesting is that our fan base should pay attention and not whine or cry when we cut a veteran for a younger (gasp) cheaper player because, obviously other teams do it all the time.

Hopefully the 2 seasons of game cheques while he was in no position to contribute to the team on gameday will help him make his decision.

He has none .. also has no evidence to support his assertion that Mack cut Kent .. lot of hot air ..

Marginal player.  Can't cover good enough to play SAM so he plays WIL, not really suited to that position either, he was a fit for Jones because he sends him on a blitz almost every play.  We don't really blitz our LB's, so I don't see him being a good fit here.  I think he got beat out by Shane Horton, who was all over the place last Friday.

yeah... maybe we ought to take it to the general forum tho.

what's so weak about them? The argos were a team that needed great D, scoring from special teams and their D to force turnovers in order to win games prior to Ray showing up and I don't recall you evey saying how poorly they were constructed. Point is absolutely valid, if you don't have a qb your team is more than likely going to suck unless everything else goes right.

So what you are saying is that any player on defence should only tackle above the knees to the shoulders? That's reserved for QB's. What a joke! It's football. Talk about seeing things only from a TO perspective! 

I think you're over stating how attatched to Pierce Mack is. Not like he ran out and grabbed him immediately, he initially wanted no part of him but signed him anyway just because of lack of options. This past offseason I definitely got the impression that Mack was willing to move on from Pierce but Burke was the one who was adamant about keeping him. To me it's a GM giving the coach the player he wanted and trusting him. Ends up a mistake but I do think that if a GM believes in his coach then he has to give him the kinds of players that he wants. 

Yes, you're right, LaPolice hired hired Crowton, he explains it all in the video you posted. But then again that's proof, so why would they listen to that?
It's maddening though, kinda like Burke sticking with his "no feasible QB- but play him anyway" policy.

Goltz looked good against T.O. in the second half.  A lot of tools to work with there, why Buck?  Is he going to be our starter in 2 years?  Next season?
 
Come on already....

There's no supporting evidence for this anymore.  

I was making a short joke but hey whatever floats your boat. Tackling guys bigger than you at the knees (everyone in subers case pretty much) is just a fact of playing football. 

FIXED.
 
Crowton can't obliterate Hamilton's defense, the QB gets the ball on every play, not the OC. Was a thing of beauty watching durant in the pocket, all composed and ****, looking off receivers looking past his first read. Beautiful.
 
Too bad we'll never see that within the next couple of years.

Plus they are committed to it.  They use run formations that let the OL fire out of their stance and give Sheets the ball with a head of steam.  We run read out of shotgun and if we get stopped a couple times start heaving 40 yard bombs to no one.  Big difference between BC, Calgary, Sask and everyone else.  And only one of those teams has a great QB, but they all start with being able to pass and run, get the ball in the hands of the playmakers, tons of bubble screens too.  Used to be a great play for us in 2011 to Denmark or Carr. 

First quarter almost in the books. Sheets with 7 carries in the first quarter. Hi Gary Crowton

the bad news is we LOST to hamilton and montreal. 

In order to be inconsistent, you must sometimes be good. Jovon on D is a joke and Jovon on STs is just depressingly pathetic, Straight up, he sucks.

He keeps getting beat down the seam, taking outside leverage on a guy and looking for help inside.  Guess what, get inside position and the sideline is your help outside!  Everyone has picked on him so far.  He's our worst DB hands down.

just blows my mind how selective that guy is when looking at pierce. Pierce is crap in the hamilton game but hangs onto the 2 good drives he had and throws every other players slighest mistakes out there... Goltz looks solid but says he didn't do some things well. Pierce does his usual thing which includes a lot of crap and it's best qb blah blah blah postive postive postive. If Burke were able to assess Pierce with the same critical eye he uses on everyone else this team would be a lot further ahead.

Just the fact that he could run, throw on the run and could make plays to secondary reads, says that he is at least a viable option to what Buck presented.
And he didn't have too leave the game...so wait, he was better than Buck yesterday.

It's not like Burke is all of a sudden going to turn into an intelligent, logical person of sound thought. He's stuck in his ways and Buck would need to get Tanya Harding'd before we can move on as a franchise.

Watching that game live was unrewarding until Goltz got into the game, not because he was going to bring us back and win the game, but because, finally, he was going to get some meaningful reps.
And meaningful they were.
What he saw out there and his reaction to live bullets flying looked promising. And yes his ability to scramble was welcome. I liked that he kept seeing things downfield and was actually able to do something about them.
We're 1-3, looking at 1-4.
This is the time to make the switch in QBs.
