starting Hall isn't necessarily a bad move, a lot of people figured he'd wind up as the #2 coming out of camp anyway and might be the best option for the season. The real issue is how much this just screams coaches desperately trying to save their own asses now that the GM has been canned. Hated the timing when it happened, hated it more now. Yeah 1-5 sucks, but with back to back with Hamilton on the way it was a great chance to get into a better spot... then with back to back against Edmonton not far away either it was yet another chance to improve their lot. Now we're seeing a bunch of what appear to be knee jerk moves and it really does look like they just threw in the towel already.

I find it odd Goltz gets hooked before what would have been likely his two easiest starts. That I can't get over.

...and yet the club says the exact opposite. They apparently told Goltz the reason they're going with Hall is because they need to win now...

Missing open receivers. The slots are gonna get killed running those routes over the middle & he throws high or behind like he does. That alone should be enough for him to be benched.

I agree it would get them killed but could be an issue resolved with timing and practice. missing a wide open edwards or simpson in the flat is inexcusable though
