Can't fault Buck for a crappy Oline, crappy play calling and dropsies by the receivers. He was always positive and I assume brought a lot to the community. It is a good decision for the Blue to trade him vs his out right release, but to dump on the guy because he was getting hammered on almost every play is just sad. Maybe we should be trading all our running backs as well. They rarely get 100 yard games, so dump the bums. Oh wait, the Oline hasn't opened a hole big enough for a fart to get through, but that's ok, it's the QBs fault and the running backs fault.
Put the blame where the blame belongs.
And...Flame away!
I'm not ragging on Buck for any of that.
I'm ragging on him because despite all of that, he was still a shitty QB.

No, Jacquie. Ask any Rider fan how their defense played. You'll get quite a different take from what you are saying. They were just okay.
And some of those Rider fans will also say their offense and play calling sucked while begrudgingly giving the Bombers D some credit.
Go on Riderfans & see what they are saying. Very little credit to us.
That's not what I've been reading at all.

^^^ VERY interesting

I specifically remember two beautiful plays in coverage that Suber made to break up completions. Normally if you don't notice a DB, it's a good thing but those two plays stood out to me for sure.

Saskatchewan had two different "cuts" of their jerseys last year. It looked pretty stupid.

Disappointed in all the glee here. Buck wore his heart and on his sleeve and would go to war if need be for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He deserves some respect and gratitude.
Having said that the trade had to happen. As long as buck was here the other guys would be looking over their shoulders. Great move by Walters.
I wonder about the timeline though. The "undisclosed" injury, Elliott being released last week. Etc
So what's Foster's story....
Why should I be disappointed to see Buck go?
He'll still live here in the offseason, he's a homeowner with a Winnipeg business and a Winnipeg girlfriend. All the good stuff he brings to Winnipeg will still be here.
And now he's gone from our football team.
That's a win-win in my books.

I hope BC traded for that god awful Danny's Whole Hog franchise too.

Even though I say it every time it comes up.
Can we PLEASE use these royal blue uniforms on a permanent basis?!
Is there anyone out there that honestly thinks THIS
is better than THIS

Suber is a bum when he had a damned good game? Did you notice Dressler doing anything today? That's cause Suber was doing his thing. He's had a real tough year to be sure but today he was real good.
I meant to say this too. Suber played unreal tonight.
But then again, he has dreadlocks.

I really think this is Buono making one last jab at Mack... he already abused him with Westerman...
If Buono wants to give us incredible value to take a jab at a guy who didn't like the player he traded for anyways, that's great.
-
Gotta think Poblah would be the guy on the move.
Or Watson.
Very possibly. I'd hate to lose him but ... if you can shore up the OL, he IS getting older.
-
You're right, Terrence Edwards is strictly 100% honest about pleading for flags. He just gets held EVERY time the ball is thrown his way.

So we now have quite a lot of NI receivers kicking around... someone on the move out?
Gotta think this is the precursor to a NI REC for NI OL deal perhaps.

what in the actual ****
-
Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave.
to do what? Go work as a greeter at Walmart? Seriously, this sounds just plain silly.
I don't know, I'm just passing along what I was told. Sorry.

Where'd you hear this? Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity
Same person that told me he signed.
I hope it's not true, but I don't see how suddenly a day into the NFL season there's interest in a 29 year old pensioned, high min salary guy who's been out of the league for two years.

Hahahahahaha wow.

Glad they finally announced this, although I didn't know they would be adjusting the CIS eligibility as well.
That's very interesting, although it makes this draft year confusing because they're essentially going to be combining 2 years of CIS eligibility into 1 in the 2014 draft if I understand things correctly.
-
While I like the fact that Walters and co. are being proactive, something Mack wasn't known for, I don't like the idea of signing/bringing in guys just to say you are.
Bomber fans deserve a proven winner, someone that has the odds in favour of creating a winning tradition. No more unknowns or future's until the ship is righted.
With each passing week it looks more and more likely that Miller will stay on as C.E.O, Walters as the permenant G.M and Burke as the HC, which IMO is depressing.
Why with each passing week? What is happening here that is making you think this way?
That's what I didn't quite get either.
What were people expecting? A weekly presser to update fans on the goings-on of their GM hunt?
Buck Pierce traded for Akeem Foster

Buck was NOT good in 2011.
He put up a couple of good games, but his body of work as a whole was poor.
So glad Pierce is gone.
