lol.  I'm pretty sure that if some MBB poster were on the sidelines calling the shots, the rest of MBB would be pining for the good old days of Tim Burke...

likewise, if we had maas/dinwiddie and their staff coaching us, we very likely would’ve won 4 gcs in a row and be leading the cfl standings again. I don’t see this team losing in 21 with burke or the stretch run 19 either.

Obviously not. Because Hall can coach a D just as well as Burke can. Both of them needed a certain type of player to succeed. A Hall D relies on pressure up front, a Burke leans heavily on DBs who can cover one on one.

I have to admit, and I was at the stadium... the play calling for this game was really good - and the execution was great. I have been very critical of Hogan - and frequently calling for his head... and if he was calling the game - I was impressed. I do not understand how his calling can go from putrid to amazing in one week!

I have basically zero evidence to back this up. But it often feels like this team works in quarters. As in 4 games, 4 games, 4 games, 4 games. Doesn't always work out this way but it generally feels like if changes are needed they are made after a few games of trying. Last week marks the start of the last quarter.

Also the obvious change in QB and WRs and just overall offense capabilities.

Mm i they are very close in terms of quality at dc. I think halls big advantage is being a worlds better leader and great at adjustments.I think burke was way better at Xs n Os on the front 6.
