Makes sense. He was a great player, and for the last 20 years has been a pharmaceutical sales rep. Therefore he's ready for professional coaching. 

But iso, if it was the players that didn't want to really play today the score would have been 54-7. 

97-98 are the worst I can remember.  Worst stretch in my lifetime is 97-99 - combined record of 13 - 39.  I think the Bombers went 3.5 years during that stretch without winning two games in a row.  We're at 2.5 years without back-to-back wins right now.  Getting close to that modern day record of ineptitude.

I refuse to peg Burke alone....we need to dump everything and start fresh. I'm not blaming Burke, singularly...lots of things wrong, lots of people to take blame. 

The thing is there are a lot of people on this board with so much credibility capital wrapped up in Joe Mack that they can't admit what a dog of a roster this is.  So whatever shortcomings Burke may have need to be blown 10x out of proportion in order to blame him rather then the lack of talent on this team for the disaster this year has become.  

Asper hired the architect that had no clue how to design a stadium. Hence some significant redesign requirements were needed....hence some huge additional cost.... Does that let him off still?

What makes Edmonton a better city than Winnipeg if you're a football player? They are quite similar cities to my eye, just that Edmonton is bigger and has a bit more money kicking around from the oil patch but really that just means there's more douchebag rig pigs around and that's not a plus. 

I'll bet the Bombers are the only pro team of any kind, where a guy can go from a bad special teams coach to AGM to GM in less than a year.

I think people are not questioning if Creswin is sussessful but moreover whether that success has in any way been the true result of Asper's direct involvement.

the guy has had poor offenses in his past stops, just because there's been little improvements the last couple weeks does not mean he's an offensive genius, just that there was a real low bar to step over. Let's set our sights higher than this guy. 

Neufeld is a fine addition, a prospect.  The problem for him here, and will be from the first day he sets foot on the field for practice, is that he's been labelled a "starting Canadian offensive lineman" by the fans and media, which he isn't.  The Riders tossed him in last season because they had ratio issues and he performed a little better than a speed bump.  He can't play inside, so he is going to have to make it at a position where it is tougher for NI's to make it over the long term.  Depending on the philosophy of the management and coach next season, Neufeld might be completely useless to us.  Trading for someone's 7th OL who is a fairly limited player on a 6 figure deal isn't a miracle.

Did players in the Winnipeg Jets organization think the fans were unclassy for cheering Teemu Selanne everytime he touched the puck during that game in MTS Centre on December 2011?

That's an interesting theory.  While these are professional coaches we are talking about, they aren't any more or less likely to make certain moves out of spite than anyone in the general working population.  It's a possibility although probably a remote one.

anyone who thought the crowd was cheering.for.bc.buck (fans and players alike) are complete morons... they were cheering for warrior buck, community buck,.a.guy that fought and bled for us..
glad they cheered for him, guy deserved it..

They weren't "cheering for the opposing QB." They were cheering for a really good, classy guy who loves WPG who was just traded from our gong show of a team 2 weeks ago.
 
Its not like they were giving fricken Darian Durant a standing o. 

Yeah well how about you stop presenting your 'common sense' as fact. 

I don't care if they choose to not bring back Bellefeuille, but he doesn't exactly have a lot to work with out there.

Well the lack of talent on this team is Mack 's fault.  He wasted the fanbase's time for 4 seasons with little to show for it.

Why?  It was between Winnipeg and Edmonton.  Reilly was already getting the starting job in Edmonton.  Winnipeg didn't have anything to offer other than money.   Do you really think that Mack would have outbid Edmonton for Reilly?  I don't.
