Greg "The" Peach Signs with Bombers, Freddie Harris Released
Good job, it's not like they have anything to lose at this point.

The Legend of Khari Jones
Khari was like a lot of great QB's, he'd hang in the pocket and take the big hit to make a play, and he made many of them.

Bombers Sign Five, Release OT Carmon
Bring back Carmon or was he just another Taormino, Mike seemed to like him.

Hamilton Cuts Knowlton And Patrick
I'm surprised we haven't signed either of these guys or Kuale given all our injuries and poor play. Perhaps they won't play for Creehan given their experience with him last season?

Bombers add to the board
Way too many Board members just as there are too many Senators in Ottawa.
-
Boltus and two receivers
Except that the team was swimming in debt and about to fold, Cal spent like a druk'en sailor.

Alex Hall To Be Fined
How is it that no one else on the teem was good enough to play SAM except for Hef, yet he's cut because there are guys better than him in the secondary? If you believe that, you are even dumber than Burke.

Lets look at behavioural biases (and what's actually wrong with the team/franchise)
I completely agree with your, 'players don't give @#$%' conclusion. I don't remember which player said it after last years LDC but it was basically 'if the organization isn't giving us 100% why should we', the players just didn't believe that they had enough talent left on the team after 2011 to win which was really the whole point behind their twitter outbursts. So, with a new direction being taken by the organization, things should change with better players onboard, and attitudes should change once it looks like the organization is serious about building a winner. If not, then they still haven't found the problem.

Report: Bombers to sign Aaron Kelly
I remember him, he wasn't bad and has some experience, what a novel concept.
-
Mike Sims-Walker
Nice, I assume Watson will be back too, might just have a different looking offense soon.

Does Burke Last the Year?
In the world of Iso. What's it like being so angry and bitter all the time? He's had 23 years to perfect it.

Burke: Happy with Buck's play on Saturday
Go back and watch the second play of the game again, the one that Hall hurt his wrist on. The Ticats sent 5 on the rush, Swiston trips trying to get out of his stance, everyone else had there man but his walks right in and hits Halls throwing hand, done. That's just the kind of shitshow we are getting from these players.
-
Boltus and two receivers
No but it is his job to get the players ready to play and put them in positions to succeed. Do you see any of that happening? You do realize that football is all about getting the matchups you want......like how Hamilton matched up their backs on our sad sack linebackers for most of the first half (gee like that hasn't been a problem for oh......2 years now). All any coach can do is get his players matched up with the opposition the way he wants, it's still up to them to make a play, like Terrance did last game for 180 yards. That should pretty much tell you that 'a good player' will win the matchup while the crap ones won't. We have too many turds circling the bowl on this team.

Blow it up some more......
The only upside with Walters is that he's the head cheese now, maybe players will respond differently to him than dead man walking. From a coaching stand point though, this does nothing to improve evaluating players as some are suggesting that get rid of Burke would accomplish.
-
Firing of the week ...
There are a few players on defence who are not responding to either Creehan or Burke, so somebody does have to go, just might not be a coach this week.
-
Does Burke Last the Year?
Perhaps just like with Mack, Burke is now just as powerless with Walters/Miller at the controls. Looks to me like he is HC in name only and not really involved in any of the 3 coaching phases. Or he's just really as clueless as he looks.

Buck Hurt Again
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 think we should acquire Tate from Calgary, Nichols from Edmonton, and keep Buck. We can run a 3 QB rotation depending on who's healthy. It will keep other teams off balance. Based on today, Hall looks like he may have potential as a development QB in this scheme. lol, I know you're joking but trading for Nichols probably makes the most sense since their season is all but over too.
-
Blow it up some more......
He doesn't even need to fire him, just take over the duties and have Creehan be the head cheerleader like he was before. Berry used to do this all the time with the oline receivers and backs, until they made him fire his buddy Cartwright then he just checked out.
-
Blow it up some more......
I'm starting to come around to the idea of Tom Higgins, classy guy too boot.
-
Blow it up some more......
Burke has to go and the sooner the better. when you try and pull a player off the field and he refuses and then you don't even bench the player for the rest of the game that's just unacceptable behaviour. The team isn't listening to Burke so why are we letting this persist? Not that I disagree, what should happen now, Burke should sit that guys ass down on the bench for the next game and get the players attention back. If that happened in TO Milanovich would probably have cut his ass on the spot. If there are no consequences for this then yes, the HC should be fired on the spot as well.

Rod Pedersen on the Bombers
Do the Bombers need anymore motivation than this going into the LDC. Is there even any pride left in that locker room.
-
Blow it up some more......
I'd like to see a player shake up first before we can more coaches. As Tim Burke said 'you can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****'.....actually he said, 'we are doing the best with what we have' but pretty much the same thing.

Buck Hurt Again
You guys are definitely more optimistic than me, it took Ritchie 3 years to get things turned around the last time it was this bad and if he hadn't stumbled upon Khari in BC, who knows.
-
Buck Hurt Again
Rebuilt 80% of their roster and their entire coaching staff after 2011. All they had was a good QB and a great receiver and they built around that. I'll take your word for it but guys like Getzlaf, Best & Shologan have been there for 6 or 7 years now.

Buck Hurt Again
They were coming off 4 straight winning seasons, they had talent, they just went off the rails for a bit.
