    Onyenegecha reacted to Noeller in Bombers @ Argos - GDT   
    I'm a big fan of eternal optimism, while maintaining the ability to be critical. I will **** on this team when it's called for, but I'm always a fan and I'm always cheering. Sad as it may be, I'm not sure anything gives me as much joy in life as watching a Bomber win with a glass of rye in hand. Even a loss is still a Bomber game on TV....not much better!!
     
    always, Always ALWAYS: Go Blue!!

    There's only one guy dumb enough to value a young qb over Ricky Ray and that guy is now unemployable in the CFL. Ray simply put is hands down bar none the best quarterback in the CFL and if you think the Argos would protect Collaros over Ray you're out of your mind.

    Yeah that was my recollection as well - that both INT's were the result of illegal play by the Montreal defence, and wouldn't have occurred if they weren't breaking the rules.  I'll go back and review, as I usually watch a Bomber victory many times to bask in the glow of victory, while losses are quickly deleted from the PVR.  Needless to say, I haven't re-watched a lot of games this year.

    I remember when MBB was launched and how happy everyone was that we finally had a site where forum discussion didn't eventually devolve into users attacking each other. Even the ones who are so much better than everyone else.

    You mean they move on just like the "permanent GM" Taman did? Or how about the "permanent GM" Kelly? Maybe the "permanent GM" Mack?
     
    No GM is permanent and every time one leaves, another one is left to pick up the pieces and build the team with their own vision.
     
    The only thing that is implied by the title of "interim" is that Walters may have a shorter stay than the others.

    I get you're being tongue-in-cheek, and Burke shouldn't be our head coach in 2014, but his CV from 2008-2011 would suggest God provided him with a pretty decent tool kit.

    You're confusing what Burke's duties and responsibilities as a head coach are when he's on the field with what Burke's duties and responsibilities as a head coach are when he's in front of a microphone. He has absolutely not lived up to on-field expectations; the record speaks for itself. But he is absolutely supposed to stay on message and consistent with what the two management levels above him are saying. And Burke did not say anything in this interview that hasn't already been said by Walters and Miller.

    There's nothing here I can really disagree with. I think you hit the nail on the head.
     
    That being said, I still can't blame Burke for trying to make a case for himself.  It's not going to work, because there are major flaws in his argument, (As you pointed out.), but I can see why he would try.  I think most people in his situation would try the same thing.

    Yeah, ignore a direct question from the Official Broadcaster of the CFL. See how well that goes. That would be the opposite of smart, clearly.
    I get that nobody here thinks Burke should keep his job. But anyone who thinks he didn't respond to this specific question the right way is allowing their hate for Burke to cloud their judgement.
    Just because we've all checked out this season, and clearly some players have checked out this season doesn't mean he has. And that speaks to him as a man, and has little to do with his competence as a head coach.

    Of course we should get the fans input. That'll be real productive. Who do we want to talk to first? The guy dressed like Hulk Hogan, or the one who tackled Eric Carter during a playoff game?

    Onyenegecha reacted to sweep the leg in Burke's comments on what Hervey said about Rottier   
    I think you're looking too hard for reasons to complain about Burke. He's the coach, so of course he's going to have to comment on his players. He's rough around the edges, but I don't know if anything he's said is going too far.
     
    Your being an Elliott fan is, IMO, why you're still worked up about that comment.

    At this point, I don't care what shade of blue they use. I don't care what piping the jersey has, or what shoulder flares they want to add. Just please, please, for the love of God, please do not add a tramp stamp to our jerseys. That's all I ask.

    Dear Darian Durant

     

    What you witnessed 1st hand on Sunday is something we've had to put up with for the last several years.

    Missed blocks by O-Line, poor positioning by O-Line, and defenders just beating the O-Line.

    How'd you like getting rushed so much you can't follow through on the play? 

    How'd you like just throwing the ball away to prevent a sack, or running because you have to? 

    Did getting knocked down bother you the 1st time, the 2nd, the 3rd.....?

    How come your running back isn't helping you out?

    Where are those damn receivers when you need them?

    Are you thinking everybody forgot how to block all of a sudden?

    That frigging Cortez, did he forget how to co-ordinate?

    Your quarterbacking skills are now in question.

    Welcome to our lives.

    I hate to pull a Shankman, but this was a thread about Walters trying to re-sign Henoc Muamba, and no one brought up Mack until you did. And this isn't the first time Mack has been brought up for no reason. The same Mack who went 'off the board' to draft Henoc in the first place. Bash Mack all you want, but if he didn't have the propensity to draft against the rankings, we wouldn't be talking about re-signing Henoc, we'd be talking about how shitty Scott Mitchell has been and waiting for Philip Blake to be cut by the Cardinals.

    At some point, maybe. But Goltz leads the league in rushing touchdowns, and he's VERY good at pulling the ball out of the running backs gut. Best I've seen since Burris. He fools the cameramen on a regular basis. I wouldn't be heartbroken if he was around as a Lefevour type where we have a set package for him as a change of pace QB who is our clear cut backup.

    They held the 8-1 Saskatchewan Roughriders to 127 yards passing, 154 yards rushing and zero touchdowns. They sacked Durant 8 times. Dressler, Getzlaf, Bagg and Simon all had ONE catch each. There isn't a single member of that defence that deserves to be called a bum. Not one.
