Tailgate party!
They'd be too scared of the fans staying at the tailgate party and not bothering to watch the games. And with good reason too.

Ricky Ray out six weeks
and Tate. Think we could get Lumsden out of retirement?

Alex Hall To Be Fined
Would not have wasted a time out, but yeah. Soon as he came off the field he should have been told to go change.

Burke: Happy with Buck's play on Saturday
Still want an "unlike" button You must mean dislike. I 'liked' your last post and there already is an option to unlike. Sorry. Yeah, a dislike button. Buck should either be riding the pine or sitting on a beach.

Does Burke Last the Year?
No. I'm thinking if players like Hall can't show him any respect as HC, then him being DC would not work.

Not bloody likely.

Does Burke Last the Year?
So, where do you think Burke will end up as DC next year? Really doubt he will stay with the Bombers. Edmonton maybe?

???? Have people gone off the deep end? I think we have gone to the "people can just make up whatever **** they want" end.

Can we get a "Don't Like This" button?

CFL Pick 'Em Pool Week 9
Who will be brave enough to pick the Bombers over Sask this week?

rays of sunlight?
We're 2 wins out of second place? Somehow that depresses me more....

Bombers Sign Veteran DB
that was my exact reaction, we signed a guy that Hamilton didn't want in their secondary to help ours? How far have we fallen? Oh, we've fallen that far all right.

Chris Matthews out 4-6 weeks, Pierce or Hall to start Saturday
I'm with Noeller on this. While my gut says I don't want to see Buck again, I'm willing to let MB go with what he thinks is best for now. But whoever starts needs to be on a short leash.

Buck vs Goltz (Advanced Statistics)
Not disgreeing on Elliot (he's 3rd in BC and not seeing playing time for a reason) but who do you see as good prospects that we have a shot at? We could have a realistic shot at Drew Willy and Zach Collaros to name a couple. Someone might shake loose from Calgary too, if we want to go that direction. Matt Nichols could also be an interesting option, depending on his health of course. Like those two. Don't think I want Calgary's. Tate seems to be Buck 2.0 and, while Glen is doing well, he'll take a hit and go back to his old ways soon enough. Have to see more of Nichols once healthy.

Crowton fired
How long does Burke have? Keep him to finish the season? I admit I'm a little surprised MB didn't take over as HC.

Buck vs Goltz (Advanced Statistics)
I understand what your are saying, but **** those are depressing stats for both of them. Especially the ave points per possession.

Is a demotion possible?
I think if another team offerred him a DC job, he may jump at it. Can't say I would blame him.

Practice Updates: Swiston In For Morley, Watson/demond Back, Hall #1
Honestly do not remember that. I remember a good DC getting elevated to HC and wondering why he would bother. Then realizing that it was his best bet for some job security because if he didn't take the HC role, the new HC would bring in all his own coaches anyway and he'd be looking for work. I don't remember him be touted as HC material before Lapo's firing. If he was, show me.

Thinking about this. If the Bombers had a better HC in mind at the time, the firing would have been fine. But letting him go mid-season and promoting Burke was a bad move. In hindsight, they would have been better to hang onto Lapo until seasons end and then do a search for a real HC. Not someone who doesn't know offense. And I think this is where we are at right now. If there is not another HC who can be hired and take over right away, then stick with Burke, keep him away from the media (man he say's some dumb things, not Mike Kelly dumb, but stuff to make you shake your head) and start a search for nexts years HC. We can still get a playoff game or two this year given the quality of the league right now (wtf is up with that?) but this is not another GC year no matter who is in charge. And I did figure out the lack of GC's is my fault. Last one we had was the year before I got married. So as long as my marriage stays good, we won't win a GC.
