    Tim Burke was the worst head coach I have ever seen this team have and that's saying something.

    It's sort of the chicken and egg argument again buddy. He had terrible talent to deal with. If he had great talent, who knows what could have happened. Maybe he was a bad head coach. I don't know. But when you have a great QB and lots of talent you can make even a bad coach look decent. (Heh, even I could have coached the Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers to multiple Stanley Cups)

    Sounds like it wasn't. Jeff Hamilton seems to think its because as a Vet hes due his full salary after the 1st. Pretty apparent its lack of production for 2 much money. 

    Well, as others have said, the way our offense is structured NO offensive player is going to be a big production player in this offense (except Andrew Harris). Rightly or wrongly, it is what it is.

    I pretty much expect a Bomber loss every year on Labour Day.... records be damned... I've felt that way ever since he 7-1 vs 1-7 fiasco...

    Yeah, it goes back even further than that. I was so confident the year the Riders started their 3RD STRING QB Rocky Butler who was probably a worse passer than Streveler...and we get beat.

    We also lost in 1990, 1988, and 1984, years we won the Grey Cup.

    Giving a team to the Maritimes is a huge mistake. If they really wanted a team they'd have packed the park. They didn't. This whole thing is a joke. That's all the CFL needs is another team in constant financial crisis.

    Anyone know what the attendance was for the game vs. what the park holds?

    We just beat the Esks. with Streveler...I think Edm. is a better team with a better qb....No reason why we can't knock them off in their own barn

    Yes even though Streveler is not a top rated passer, I think the Riders might underestimate his running. The Esks knew he was going to run and they still couldn't stop him.

    Ah Labour Day! living in SK is bad enough for a Bomber fan like me the rest of the year, but this weekend ( and next) it gets amped up to a whole new level.

    The media around here (Regina, Saskatoon) have been relentless in minimizing the Bombers accomplishments and telling us how great the Riders are (5 game win streak). I've heard numerous times that Streveler is no threat and that the Riders will sweep the series.

    Please Bombers, please, please win. I don't care if it's 3-2. Just win.

    The Halifax expansion is a bad idea for many reasons, but hearing the ownership group talking about playing in 2021 and "playing a couple seasons" in Moncton while a stadium is built in Nova Scotia is complete lunacy.  They'll be bankrupt before they play a game in their stadium.  Based on the crowds showing to these games they are likely to lose $10-15 million a season on operations in Moncton, plus the initial costs of starting up.

    There's truly no benefit to the league.  Is TSN going to cough up a bunch of money because there's now a team in the coveted Atlantic TV market of half a million people?

    I tend to agree with this comment. I've always thought the best places for expansion would be Quebec City or Saskatoon. I hope it works in Atlantic Canada...but I have my doubts.

     we were saying how both Bennett and McGuire outplayed him for the #2. Now, I'm cheering hard for Streveler, and I'd love that he use these next several games to stake his claim to the #1 job and never give it back. Having said that, I just don't feel like he's gonna do it. Prove me wrong, Strevelation.....

    I think McGuire outplayed Streveler in pre-season.

    It would be nice if we could wait around until a few low on the depth chart NFL QB's get cut. Not that they could step in right away

    . I suspect though that the Bombers will sign someone late this week or early next week with CFL experience. I'm guessing Willy or Bridge. 

    Yeah, it would take most nfl guys 2-3 yrs to play up to level here....some would never adjust.

    Okay, I'll play. I think Don Jonas is an option. If he can play & play well at 34 then why can't he at 79?

    That reminds me of a story I once heard about Gordie Howe. A number of years ago a reporter asked him, "If you played in today's NHL, how many goals would you score?" Gordie answered, "30!" The reporter queried further, "Only 30?" Gordie shot back, " What do you expect from a 75 year old!"
