Brandon

Never heard of him either but looked at the stats and the one good year he had he was pretty much identical in stats with Calvin Johnson.... Kind of odd that he hasn't been on a team in 2 seasons after being fairly productive...

I will say this... in my life experiences whenever myself (or coworkers) had no respect for the boss.... our productivity was absolute rock bottom and the sheer lazyness and going through the motions was through the roof. I believe it's the same as with what is happening to the Blue with Burke. I think they have mentally checked right out.... they did the same to LaPolice since he was essentially nearly as bad as Burke. Burke will never command the respect from a complete team, unless he does a 180 and actually acts like a leader and gains the respect of his players.... the team simply just won't play hard for him at all. All of the evidence is showing that this is the case. Burke really s hould get a demotion.....

Okay, I can accept that if you accept that he'll never be the reason if we ever win. Bingo bango.... Most other qbs might face the pressure and struggle and probably piss away a few possessions... but when the defense is making the same plays against you all night long... you can't hit denmark with a quick pass and let him burn them for some easy 20 yard gains? Glenn made it look easy the other night simply getting the ball and immediately lobbing it above the blitzers and right into the dude replacing cornish or is slotbacks hands giving them an easy first down..... It just seems that Pierce can't throw it to a receiver who is on the run... always seems like he waits until the route is finished and then underthrows it leaving them to come back to the ball and missing the first down...

considering how similar it looks to what Hamilton did last year it's Creehans scheme. Remember when the bombers played man coverage? Now all we're doing it seems is playing the softest zone in football. This just reminds me of the Greg Marshall defense

a veteran CFL receiver? So in Burke terms, a guy who caught a couple passes in training camp. I'm going to guess Romby Bryant? Maybe TJH!!!

In fairness to Buck he was under siege for most of the game... HOWEVER many of those plays he hung onto the ball way to long. He definitely needed to do his Kevin Glenn impression and make some quick passes to help suppress the massive blitzes. Burke needs to choose his words more wisely.... I wouldn't be happy with less then 100 yards unless the rb was running for over 200....

Maybe he's hurt?

But has that been confirmed yet? It's been confirmed that it is not Adrian McPherson... though he did tweet that he's waiting for the gm to call him. So that is *an* option.

Does anyone know if Higgins even has remote interest in GM'ing for us?

So who did they bring in???

I know two guys who would more willing to finish off the season as HC and DC and who definitely have lots of motivation skills

I wonder really if he will make it to the end of the season..... the post game show excuses from Burke about the defense not expecting certain players and plays was extremely weak sauce .....

It's disappointing that guys like Isaac Anderson and Doug Pierce didn't step up and steal the jobs away.... but fortunately receivers are dime a dozen and we need some guys who can give a full effort and make the catches.... Edwards has shown life in the last few games it would be nice if others did the same

No way in hell Glenn is going to get traded by Calgary... not a chance. Me thinks Tate would be more likely purely because they don't want his injury issues.

I don't think we should cut Denmark , just feels like he's a good scapegoat.... I'd be shocked if Boatmen still is on the team after NFL cuts... No way Buck is getting cut... *UNLESS* they bring in Jyles purely for the irony and/or they make a trade for Tate..... I definitely do think Tate is probably the only CFL vet they could acquire via trade.

I'm going to say next vets to get the boot will be Denmark, Suber , Palardy, and probably someone else in the secondary.... Anyone making any bets on who gets axed next? I think they'll also bring in some retreads... maybe Romby Bryant, Lobendahn or even Jyles

Doug Brown out of retirement?

Well in fairness the Blue were not expecting both Hall and Pierce to go down with injuries so they probably were looking at a body to come in as a 3rd stringer/4th guy. So I won't crucify them if it is Boltus. I will crucify them if they don't bring in new blood at o-line and receiver though....

McPherson maybe or is he still hurt?

Porter or Jyles

I would rather have nobody doing double duties anymore.....

He was 16 for 26 tonight... and 21 for 25 against BC... I know Mack is gone and it hurts... but no reason to just make things up... He didn't look completely lost out there, just made some bad decisions and rookie mistakes... go figure!

Also the really weak blocking call on Sinopoli when Walter ran it down to the 5 yard line was definitely fishy....

And yet Toronto had 8 penalties for 113 yards and Calgary had 6 penalties for 70 yards. I counted at least 5 major penalties that were missed.... I don't see how they didn't call the facemasks when it happened right in front of the refs faces!
