Burke's argument was he had an ill prepared QB with just above zero playtime in the game Which is precisely why guaranteeing overtime against a hot QB with all the momentum was the worst decision he could have made, Yeah that is the biggest problem for me. OK you have no faith in your qb... you know that winning on defense in OT is next to impossible right? At some point in OT you have to rely on your offense. MIght as well have shown faith in them BEFORE over time and who knows maybe they make a flukey catch and get into scoring range.

To me it looked like the Esks made adjustments to our scheme after the first quarter. I guess it takes more than four weeks to rebuild a playbook.... That's working under the assumption that Bellefeuille is actually a quality offensive coordinator, he isn't one either.

no kidding, at least try and get to midfield and let Renaud try and kick it into the endzone or something! Taking a knee shows no confidence in your offense and then you put them out in OT needing a TD and a 2 point convert, way to pump them up for that task.

Takes a special kind of head coach to make me wish for MIke Kelly back.

Burke first then Boatman.

With no experience they were far better than what we've used previously. Even if they were beat at least they got a piece of someone. None of this Boatman just lets them run past untouched nonsense.

I feel terrible for the players. They are not given a chance at all by this coaching staff.

I don't mind having edmonton kick off, but not letting the offense try anything is just pure loser mentality.

Hall was good in the first quarter when he had protection, once the protection went away he started chucking ducks.

there was a guy could be clearly heard on TSN on the 3rd down in OT screaming "Maybe you should take a knee" sums things up perfectly. Burke is a loser and the team is a loser because of it. What is he? 6-16 as head coach with so many games where the team was never ever remotely in it... he needed to be fired 2 or 3 months ago.

**** Tim Burke for not even trying to win in regulartion. Stupid ******* decision. ALWAYS play to win.

send Doug Brown to slap some sense into him.

how depressing was that comment from Bob? man oh man as if things didn't suck enough around here.

not that I'd know about that or anything but you can probably still find that **** on google

Braleys money was good for the CFL, Braley is so self serving though.

man I wish we still had a runningback like that. Just so elusive.

GIF away. Don't put GIFs in here, or I'll start another thread...

get the qb killed? No I doubt that's changed much. I'm not holding out a lot of hope for the offense here. Don't think Ford is a good enough option as an every down running back, don't have faith in Hall having any kind of time in the pocket, right now the only play that I see being reliable is the old toss it up for Kelly and hope he comes down with it cause he's the only receiver on this team making catches for his qb.

well I'll go that far. Good riddance.

nice of the team to reward you for your loyalty with some superb performances...

Ahh revisionist history. Burke was tapped as HC, because he was the most highly touted "next CFL HC" around the league. People were TERRIFIED we were going to lose him if we didn't promote him. Precisely. But that is merely fan opinion. What concerns me more is management's evaluation of head coaching candidates...or rather...the lack of it. safe to say I think that Burke was lured here with the promise that he'd be next up to be head coach. How else can you explain him just getting the job after all those red flags that popped up last season

2011 was the last time, according to a FP article this morning... and it seems to me that it was actually quite successful.

He shoulda tried winning more games, that's a surefire way to keep your job. Leading the team into blow out after blowout and game after game where the team is out of contention by halftime is not going to be good for job security.

Yeah but are you going to hire a new head coach based on an ultimatum that he keeps the current ST Coordinator? I can't see any head coach not wanting to keep a guy on staff who is that highly regarded around the league as a special teams coordinator. That's would be a pretty careless way to think if you were the GM don't you think? I think you misunderstand, I'm not suggest the Bombers dictate who stays on as assistants, I'm suggesting that any head coach would opt to keep Dickenson on staff because he's that well regarded.
