  1. Someone should tell that moron Pedersen that he's the Ravens OC. It's just more bs from Pedersen
  2. No to Taman or Higgins so really... it's down to guys like Murphy McEvoy and the sort. Maybe Walters says no thanks to Guelph
  3. So Murphy comes in and hires Mike Kelly as coach? Lol
  4. It's weird and yeah I get Murphy has been around for a while but basically to me he sounds like Joe mack ish... he's a good scout but not sure he's a guy I'd want with the final say on everything. Don't get me wrong Murphy would be my guy too or McEvoy in BC but... he's as unproven at the GM level as Walters and mack. No to Taman. Been there done that. Taman isn't the guy for the job but surely there's got to be someone other than Higgins out there with actual gm experience
  5. Willy still would have got hurt and Brohm and Marve both would have still sucked
  6. I don't think he's lost the room. Only people in the room would know that and despite what a few people say on here... the team didn't quit yesterday. They just weren't very good. There's a difference between quitting on the coach and just not executing. Yesterday the O really struggled. That's not quitting. It's just not being very good. Dropped balls and over throws is not quitting on the coach and I really don't get what people were watching yesterday if they think otherwise. The O sucked. Didn't execute. That's not on the coaches it's on the players. The talent just isn't there at the moment.
  7. I figured when willy got hurt.. our season was done.
  8. Underrated player. Very good player. I like this move
  9. The talent isn't there. 1st and 2nd year rookie Canadians for the most part
  10. Sting in an interview with Slam Wrestling said he's there to put guys over.
  11. That person doesn't exist. Give me Steinhauer or Thorpe as coach
  12. Really. The rock from ballers. Lots of effort here. Good job.
  13. If Burris got hurt Ottawa would probably be as bad as we are.
  14. Dropped balls and over throws are not on the coaches. The lack of talent is not on the coaches. It's so easy to blame a coach.. scapegoat mentality really but what can a coach do when receivers drop passes and qbs over throw guys. The team didn't quit. They actually had more first downs time of possession and yards than Montreal did. The D didn't quit. The O didn't quit,they just weren't good. Special teams is an issue but O'sheas resume says he's a good special teams coach... played it and coached it. It tells me it's a lack of talent. Fire the coach? I wouldn't. I'd be looking at the GM right now. That lack of talent is on him and our scouts
  15. I didn't see any quit in the team so Nichols is right. What I saw was a lack of execution by our O. Poor play calling but they didn't quit. They just aren't good enough.
  16. Now, I'm not blaming the fans here at all but... part of the problem is the lack of patience around here, I'll be the first to admit i Want MB gone but i've wanted him gone for a long time now but.. after every loss, fans lose their minds and want everyone gone. I'm not saying the fans are the reason but... at the same time, we need to show patience, the BOD needs to show patience, you can't keep firing guys every 2 years or so and expecting someone else to come in and be a god immediately and if he's not, he's shown the door and the cycle keeps repeating itself. The other problem is QBs, we haven't had a legit QB in years, we got one now in Willy but the OC is getting him killed so really, it's like we don't even have a QB anymore. Nichols is ok, he's not great, he's not awful, he's just ok, good backup really but probably not a starter. The main reason tho in my opinion, at least this year and last... our OC, we are dead last in many categories, our D is pretty good, our special teams not so much but again that's lack of talent there, young canadians really learning on the fly... Jake Thomas is the only played Joe Mack drafted that is still on the roster for us, that's a problem.. Our drafting hasn't been good, some of the guys walters have taken have shown the ability to play but they are also rookie and or 2nd year players... really lack those vet canadians out there and the ones we do have just aren't good. Pontbriand, Cronk,Remple to name a few. There is no magic formula here, i think firing the OC would be a step in the right direction tho. I think for years we got a reputation around the league of an organization that lacks patience and fires people way too quickly at times, some justified, some maybe not.. it takes time to reverse that reputation, stability is important and for a long time we have had no stability at all.. front office on down really... You look around the league at the really good teams, Calgary..stability. Hamilton has stability now, didn't for years but finally do.. Montreal has stability, Popp has been the man for a long time, BC, not so good but stability there for sure with Buono. It's something we have lacked... I also think if you look back at our OC's the last several years you will see a whole lot of terrible coaches, Crowtown and MB come to mind right away... why do we have to settle for these guys tho? Probably because of our instability as an organization, do coaches want to come here and coach and be fired in 2 years if things don't go well? Probably not, they want the ability to build a team, it takes some time, our Canadian depth was so poor for so many years, this goes back to Taman trading away our picks for vets, it goes back to Mike Kelly gutting the team, it goes back to Joe mack having only 1 drafted player still on the team.. it takes time to repair that damage. In the CFL, you are only as good as your QB's and your Canadians... for years we have really had neither. You hear about players like Eric Norwood who was on our NEG list but didn't want to come here, why is that? he's not the only one either, he's just the guy that sticks out to me at the moment, why didn't he want to come here? Lack of stability i bet played a role cuz when you really think about it, i'll bet for lots of players in the CFL... cost of living is an important factor... outside of regina, i'll bet winnipeg is a lot cheaper of a place to live then say toronto montreal or vancouver yet players still don't want to come here.. why? once we figure out the why, i think you will find that the answer to the question of why have we been so bad for so long will be right in front of your face.
