Didn't it? In Reeds first year weren't the esks into double digit wins? If that's not a coach riding the Ray train then what is? Edmontons been pretty devoid of talent for a while, Ray was the only thing keeping them afloat. Oh sure...but then there were the 2006 and 2007 seasons where they missed the playoffs. Point is, teams that are poorly managed won't have a good season even with a proven QB.

The RR bandwagon didn't seem to work for several Edmonton coaches...

I heard some talk about that in TO...but I suspect common sense will prevail...

Contracts are broken every day in the business world.

He was literally the king of come backs in '01...mostly because he wasn't afraid to take chances with the deep ball.

6 weeks of Collaros eh...trades prior to the expansion draft just got a whole lot more interesting...

He wasn't old, he just playing behind a poor OL. He was only 35 when he retired, 33 when the Bombers traded him.

ehh seems like they're just grabbing anyone and everyone with some experience at this point. Hmmmm...the assumption seems to be that it's a lack of talent...hopefully these are lateral moves at worst.

I had to google that...

Yeah well the ultimate in confusion for me was Tom Canada. I always thought January was born in an igloo

It doesn't matter how fast or slow he is if we can't get him the ball. We still need O-line help. Then worry about fast receivers. True, which is why I hope people have realistic expectations for MSW in 2013. Hopefully next season if he sticks around, and the club wants him back, he can showcase his talents in an actual half decent offensive scheme, should we be so lucky. As much as I dislike Barker and the Argos, I'll give them credit for making some tough decisions and rebuilding their O-line into one of the best in the league. We should do the same and then hope to find a Ricky Ray. Then I'll get excited about MSW. Concur. Who says we have to like a head coach? As long as he can do the job it's all good. Dave Ritchie could be a crusty old son of a gun who gave the media almost nothing to print...but he stuck up for his players and they rallied around him.

I'll 'woo' if they bring some import OT's after NFL cutdown day.

Oh yes, he's the guy who called cover 0 on that play. To me, that you've described is exactly what should happen. Unfortunately it didn't happen with Casey Creehan.

He's clearly connected to Mike Kelly, so I'm thinking they have similar personalities. Both idiots...assholes....that's my guess. You're trying too hard.

You don't say.... What is baffling is that I have never coached a game in my life and yet I knew that they shouldn't of dumped Elliott and that Buck should of been gone two years ago..... I also knew that Boatmen wasn't the answer and that Buck shouldn't be over Goltz in the depth chart.... Funny thing. Boatman used to be an Argo...Bluto said the same thing about him as soon as he signed here.

How was it stupid when the guy has been a healthy scratch for more than half of Calgary's games this year? It would have been done sooner had Mack not said no initially when Burke first brought up the idea of letting him go. Shaddup...the ah seen the guy make a pick...right in front of me he were...

Going out on a limb here but I think there may be a sharp decline in attendance after Banjo Bowl. I think you're on a pretty solid branch...Banjo Bowl takes care of itself...after that look out!

January is our left tackle and he is ok. Shannon Boatman is the RT and he is horrendous. It's sad that we are wasting an import spot on him. I dare say it's an indictment of our U.S. scouting...

Can't fault a man the first time.

Yep, but I figure the rest of this season is pretty much TC anyway.

Got a kick out of some people at The Keg: asked for the entire beer list to be recited...then ordered Bud and Coors Light.

Especially after watching Reilly get creamed multiple times on Saturday...maybe there's a mercy rule...somewhere in the annals of the CFL rule book...

Yum yum, now for some Horse Hash or Lion Leftovers to round out the palate

Do you really think so? Jim Daley in '05 had a much better QB (Glenn) than anything Burke has right now. That '05 team was abysmal. and what's this team? I honestly think Burke is the worst head coach I've ever seen on this team. Merely pointing out...there's plenty of futility to choose from
