Burke is in all out saving his own ass mode right now but it's too late the damage is done. HIs record as a head coach is abysmal he's got to go big contract or not. I don't think there is any amount of talent that would make Burke a good head coach at this point in time.

Creehan has earned it but so has Burke. I don't expect them to have the balls to fire any more people though, they're running out of coaches period but right now if they gutted the coaching staff save for Craig Dickenson I wouldn't care one bit.

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? I agree Burke has to go...but I would rather have a player who knows he had made a bad mistake, and who wants to stay on the field and correct it, and you'll notice he did not go offside for the rest of the game, than someone who has given up. This is not a normal situation, the team is playing bad and it is effecting EVERYONE!. So I say give Hall a break in this case, he will get his lecture after the game. Look Hall might be the best player on the team, but the coaches word should be law. You don't listen there has to be consequences, especially when the team is 1-7. I have no faith that Burke ever had this team in control (going back to last year and the terrible terrible games they played, continuing this year) so it's all part of the same problem. Burke is the worst head coach this team has had since I've been following them, yes even worse than Daley or Reinbold. He's got way more talent to work with than either of those two had and he's doing far less with it.

Some people are just meant to be coordinators and nothing else. Burke doesn't seem to do much as a head coach so he should get his hands dirty with the defense. Not doing much else for us.

yeah I dunno why people want Denmark gone, he had as good a game as any receiver today.

yeah if you're going to cut a secondary member it should be stewart. been real bad. Though Cauchy has been by far the worst.

yeah yeah yeah we have no one worth a damn on the team, joe mack was worse than hitler blah blah blah

hire the right GM and coach in the offseason It won't take that long.

I don't know if Mainor has been shitty lately or not, but he has been invisible.

there's no way anyone thinks this is an answer, this is just a warm body.

well that's cause teams are just blitzing all the time... How about instead of harping about the o-line we start doing some things to slow down the blitz? Drop a pass in behind the blitzers and make them back off. Should be lots of room out there, why aren't we taking advantage of that? The QB doesn't even have enough time to get a pass behind them. If you can stomach it rewatch the game and count the number of times the QB is picking himself up off the turf. Hamiltons D isn't even any good and they are able to shred our line. Yeah the qb is picking himself up because the team isn't doing anything to slow down the blitz.. Teams are just loading up and sending more than we can block because they have no fear of the bombers burning them. You want the qbs to stop taking hits then they HAVE to get the ball out quickly otherwise it'll be 7 or 8 guys coming all the time and you can't block that many people.

I'm hijacking this into a PGT since I'm too lazy to make one. Brown is really fired up about the coaches, ready to string Creehan up.

did he say no to Porter? That's what it sounded like. The easy answer would be for them to just bring Brink back and call that a solution.

I agree, with a more veteran team that has had consistency at all positions it might have worked better but as it is just not happening.

It seems to me that the biggest change is taking a lot of the thinking out of it. Based on comments from everyone involved it seemed like Crowton had a lot of "if this then do that" built in and maybe our players just can't handle that.

Reilly to Edmonton was decided before BC traded him! That's the whole point here. Wally being the all-time great GM was trying to either con more from Winnipeg or use the possibility of WInnipeg being interested to get more out of Edmonton. Reilly was going to Edmonton, Buono just tried to get more than he did already by including Winnipeg. Mack knew what was happening and didn't make a trade where he couldn't talk to the player before it was completed.

Well I've given up on the playoffs after they lost to Hamilton last week, I just want some company down here so there's other people to laugh at.

He put up more yards then any of our guys have this year lol! and 4 ints! Montreal was damned lucky to win that one. BC completely **** their pants on that last drive. And offensively all game long.

so everyone prematurely on the marsh bandwagon off again?

and Marsh with another back breaking int.... but the lions offense just crowton-esque. The **** show continues.

Elliott yes since he showed something... Brink was not a questionable move... the guy showed no progress at all in his time with us. I agree with that, but still he had shown some ability at least. Some more protection he might have been servicable.

conversely the Lions containment on him looks absolutely horrid.

they were only ever there to fill out the roster of teams that bluto's Boatmen beat every week... last i checked Stoddard's Heroes were the team to beat... playing in a tougher division and all that
