Really hard to judge the talent of our receivers when the QB who had been throwing them the ball couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Remnicent of 2009 to be honest. Clinging to hope til the last game of the season.

I'll take that with a grain of salt...

To take false start penalties in an effort to run down the clock? ;-) (I kid I kid - I think this is a good move)

Buchko got canned as well?!? Is that correct (not listening to the conference)?

This whole things flies in the face of everything that's been communicated the last week or so .. that the team needs to turn the page on Buck .. that they need continuity and stability at the position .. what a giant clusterfuck .. honestly .. I like Burke .. but if he *IS* driving that decision .. the flip flop .. the mixed messages ... it's killing this team.

Bob Irving ‏@BobIrvingCJOB 26s Joe mack has been officially informed that he has been fired

Just out of curiousity .. who is going to be calling the plays on offense?

Just when you think we're moving on .. making strides toward the future .. they F it up ..

Yep .. just misread that (and thanks for correcting). Still trying to get a decent level of caffiene into my system ..

I would hope that Mack at least has a sense of which way the wind is blowing now .. but .. given the fact that nobody from the organization had even touched base with Mack after all this came out yesterday .. it wouldn't exactly shock me if he's learning his fate through the media today .. just the way things are with this Mickey Mouse outfit.

I advocated doing this when Bauer left .. like I said in another thread .. the current structure simply has too many competing agendas .. many of which aren't directly aligned with bettering the club.

Looks like the Bombers are holding a press conference for 11am. I'm guessing this is to announce the dismissal of Joe Mack. CFL Official Feed ‏@CFL 55s The @WPG_BlueBombers will hold a news conference at 11am ET. Details to come. #CFL

Thanks for posting this!

BTW great discussion everyone.

The fans are a large reason why the team reached and fell flat .. the organization caved to howling masses who demanded an end to the drought .. not down playing the terrible hires and fires .. but the fans here in Winnipeg can't wait to build a strong viable franchise .. they demand instant gratification ..

I'd say it's impatience .. the club traded picks .. mortgaged its future in an attempt to win now .. a large part of why we are here today is because we fell short .. were prone to knee jer reactions and left our cupboards bare.

You mean the one that required taxpayer's cash in addition to Ledohowski coming up with 90 million in financing himself and involved a gift of 35 acres of land? Also proposed a 265M covered stadium which wasn't feasible due to the arrangement in place with True North. It wasn't doable.

Like it or not .. without David Asper's initial push .. IGF probably doesn't get built.

Makes signing free agents more difficult .. People may look at the lack of stability and steer clear ..

No .. was a turnover on downs I believe ..

Wow. What have you got to lose ... go for it ... still down 19 with 9 to go .. 3 points doesn't do you any favors

Was wondering how long it would be before Calvillo tosses his hands in the air. And there it is. On a side note, flavor of the week is holding onto the ball much too long tonight .. also a bit scattershot .. Pronounced after watching Ray early on.

People are going to have to realize .. we are not going to turn into a winner overnight .. change won't happen right away .. it's going to take time .. I wonder if the board or the fans have the patience to build a winner ..

Such a treat to watch Ray go to work. Accurate. Poised. Aware. WTF was Tillman thinking ...
