BC's receiver group is decimated with Cotty, Berryhill and McGee out and Hatcher a GTD. Buck is going to be calling some of us to play if this continues.

Mitchell seems to get better with age. Zach seems to get weaker with age.

What are the odds that a QB reduces in effectiveness as they get older. Zach is in strange territory because that never happens to any other QB.....

BC is getting beat up early this season. Receiving core has been wiped out and now they are forced to use a DL on offense after a couple o-linemen go down on the same drive.

Not surprised that Hamilton won, a little surprised at how Rourke looked. Thought he'd still put up a fight. He didn't have a lot to work with, but damn...and Buck still refuses to run the ball.

He had NOTHING to work with... Definitely not on Rourke.

Media planned the parade for BC.

Buck is such a weak OC. No run game again, what could possib-lie go wrong?

Establish the run to open up your playbook is a beautiful thing.

When you're down 27-9 at the half why would threy run the ball?

Hamilton's offence made it kinda hard for BC to utilize a run game.....Damn near everytime they touched the ball they scored....The only reason Hammy didn't put up 60 is because they backed off most of the second half and they ran the ball...

If BC had all their starting receivers this could have been a tight shoot out I bet...but with that much receiver talent out, Rourke didn't have the horses....

But again, last week 4 of 6 QBs over 400 yards and Bo could have been but he beat us up so bad he backed off, same as this week....now this week first game and Bo throws for 5td's back to back damn near perfect QB ratings. Even Rourke without all.ost all his starting receivers goes out and put up almost 300yards passing...

What is with defences, this is wild, can't wait to see what the games today look like, can any defence stop the other teams passing attack this year......or is the only solid defence going to be weather.....

Watching that game, everytime Rountree touched the ball he got 5 yards minimum. The Lions were down so quickly they couldn't utilize a run game. QB talent this season is reminding me of the 90's. If this keeps up we could have multiple qbs throwing for 6000 or more yards this season. Mike Benevides will be gone as OC by Labour Day. Ryan Phillips will be calling the defensive signals in his place. As a GM, I think Ryan Ringmaiden is overrated.

Really do think he's one of the best scouts in the league though.

Not a coincidence win cups with him, then our American talent has fallen off a cliff

What do you mean no receivers, I'm heading out there for next week. I'm not fast or uber athletic but I have heart.

Probably lungs, stomach and other such stuff as well.

Thats not a huge deficit for a half of CFL ball. And you need to keep mitchell off the field.

A great scout doesn't make a great GM. Just like a great assistant coach doesn't make a great HC. The CFL is littered with failures like that.

Then it became 34-9. BC couldn't run the ball at all during that game. The situational just wouldn't allow it.

....come up with another effort like that and Bucks position will start to look a bit tenuous....No receivers didn't help ...but no running game didn't either

There were few holes, and that is on the O-line. But the Lion's RB was hesitating a lot as well- maybe he didn't trust his O-line?

When th opponent knows you have no receivers, they're going to I specifically take away the run game. Definitely not Bucks fault at all. That's a brutal hand to be dealt for any team/coach...

When you know in advance you 'have' to go with a running game, what they came up with was pitiful...Now I agree it wasn't all on Buck BUT after taking a beating like that after a loss, critical eyes start turning to coaching....agreed not just Buck but he can say it more than anyone the buck stops here

Good (unintentional?) pun.

Mike Benevides is walking on thinner & thinner ice. Benny will be the first coach to go. I'm thinking Ryan Phillips will eventually replace him
