This I agree with 100%. Pierce has been gawd-awful and if it were up to me he'd never play another game for the blue and gold. I like Goltz. He is athletic. stands tall in the pocket. and seems reasonably intelligent. But he is not ready and needs more seasoning. His passing accuracy is suspect also. I want to see Hall play. Looking at his video highlights makes me wonder if this kid might not be a good fit for this football team. He seems to be an accurate passer and has good arm strength. He reminds me of Joey Elliot but with a stronger arm. I'm willing to sacrifice a few games to see what he can do. He might surprise us. What the hell do we have to lose at this point?

So much for Justin being our starter for the rest of the season. Buck will be back. You watch. If Burke goes ahead with the QB Merry Go Round he said he wanted to avoid then he has zero credibility & should be kicked out the door with Crowton. This is a hill he should die on because he announced Goltz would be the starter for the remainder of the season. If not, that tells you what he really thinks of Goltz & the rest is all lip service. Took Burke 2 games to figure it out when he sees him throw in practice everyday. He didn't capture the imagination with his play. Pretty average to below. Still for Burke to give up on Goltz before perhaps the easiest game he'll probably have against that horrid Ti Cat defense speaks volumes.

I have a feeling that a big part of Mack's firing was his meddling with the coaches. I don't think there is an appetite at the board level for this to be a rebuilding year under Goltz. I have a feeling that we will see Buck again because Miller will give Burke a mandate of win right now.

At this point simply watching an exciting game is a boost to my CFL morale.

I love how Chick goes high on Glenn and doesn't get flagged...

he could do better, I admit, but with banged up receivers and no run support, I didn't expect much.

Basically a scout in over his head.

Burke in his post game presser said if small guys can't tackle bigger guys then they have to go. Okay, all for that.

Way too easy for Mitchell to make a 5-10 yard throw.  The point of zone defence isn't to cover turf, it is to cover receivers, if you are playing zone and you're not with a receiver, something is wrong.  Suber and Johnson both got victimized bad on TD's because they were watching the QB and not covering their zone.  Markett isn't a HB, and sure as hell isn't strong enough to play boundary HB.  H Muamba really sucks at reading screen passes, and now everyone knows it.  C Muamba just really sucks generally.  We only have one DB who I have confidence in to make a play on the ball when it's in the air, that's Washington.  The rest are lost.  The DL got pressure but didn't keep contain so Mitchell just rolled away from it.
 
Embarrassing mistakes all over the place.  Lining up offside.  Motioning the TE over but not having a receiver get up on the line (called for no end).  Pretty good juxtaposition of a well-coached team vs. one that isn't last night.

One game, no biggie, two games, hmm, three games, wtf.

The most productive time for the offense was the last 7 games of last season, when Buck was in the booth with the headset on. Now if you ask me, you could pretty much take any former CFL QB and ask them to call the plays from Crowtons play book and it would be an improvement.

Mack in September...status quo till November.....board hires Higgins/Forde by December, who announces Burke/Crowton/Creehan can look for work.
 
New HC announced very early Jan -- likely an O mind like Dickenson.
 
Bank on it. 
 

Goltz was a threat to run yet we never exploited that once. He wasn't any kind of threat in the zone read. We need to make the defense account for him. Right now, it's 12 on 11.

Entire staff. Coaching. And Burke is clueless as a HC.

Good offenses keep defenses off balance.  You need to have strong run formations, you need to run from them and show you can pass from them too.  You need strong pass formations, you need to show you can run from them too.  Our offence right now is very predictable, any playaction or read plays we use are slow developing at 5 yards depth in our backfield, really just bogging down our offence and not fooling anyone.  Do the basics well and mix it up.

Poor Labbe, even from the bench he gets no respect when in fact it was the golden boy Henoc who missed the tackle on the biggest play of the game allowing Hank to scramble for 13 and a first down. Ratio changer my butt, when he starts making plays in crunch time he will have earned that label.

Isn't Brett Carter the local kid with no chance of making the team..........and he gets the hardest working player of the game for the Bombers.......that doesn't reflect well on what the scouts brought in from down south does it.
