Three American OL will really hurt this team in other areas so why do it? I'm surprised Burke hasn't decided to rest all his veterans & go with an all rookie lineup. I mean, that's probably next, right?

Strike 2....... Bo's not going anywhere. Are the Bombers that dense?? Clue in, Walters. The Stamps are going to protect him. Same with some of the fanbase here. He's not leaving Calgary. Lol at iso .... Bad comment. Bad in the sense of what? That the Bombers keep calling about Mitchell? Not the first time I heard that rumour.

You're right. That's a new one.

When it comes to Polian: Can you say Super Bowl? I knew ya could.

Ask Saskatchewan fans how solid their OL is. Injuries but when they come back they are among the CFL's best. Calgary the same thing. Lost Federkeill to a groin injury & Tsoumpas to a concussion & is out indefinetly... Both lines are dominant when healthy.

Walters is looking good because Mack was asleep at the wheel... Walters found import tackles and signed some castoffs - but all GMs (except Mack) do that... I would agree that the jury is still out - i.e. Bo Smith, Levi Brown, etc... However, I do think that Walters ends up as our full-time GM - there is such a tiny window to sign Collaros or anyone before the Ottawa draft... if he gets that done, how do you fire/demote him after that? If he doesn't get it done, is there really time to get a new GM in place before free agency? If Higgins or someone is available, they would have to be in here by mid-December at the latest. Chances are Mack would have brought in the same tackles just because it's the scouting that finds players and we have the same scouts, other than that Kelly is the only guy Walters has brought in that has made an actual impact so far. People are freaking out cause the guy said the right things and brought in a couple bodies, but Mack brought in bodies when he needed them too, just tended to be from a different source. The amount of crap that Mack gets thrown at him is too damned high and because he made such a good scape goat Walters has a pretty easy job. Never mind that the biggest mistake is still there (Burke) and the team still has no life and still regularly gets out coached and continually shows no signs of life. Man, this is STILL Mack's team. He built this steaming pile of crud we call a football team. How can you keep apologizing for the guy??? Burke is not a good head coach & Mack hired him. In fairness to Burke, Mack gave him the (lack of) players to work with. I guess zippo talent at most positions is Burke's fault too??? How can you say, "chances are" he'd have brought in the same tackles?? You can't say that with any certainty. The smell coming from the U of M campus is all Joe Mack.

Who the hell cares? Does it matter? Season is a lost cause anyway so can him.

Thought did rummage around in my head at one point this weekend. I'm having a tough time thinking MB called for a knee. If he did, I'm sure Burke would have tossed him under the bus in the post-game. I'm still waiting for Burke to be fired. Hopefully today. Yes, out of the playoffs. Team going nowhere. The Friday meltdown on the field, taking a knee & then throwing Demond Washington under the bus. Enough is enough. Get rid of the guy. Season is done.

He has said in some interviews that he would like to go back to being a GM and/or HC. He's also applied for a few openings in the past few years as well including here after Kelly and Bauer were gone. Interesting... Sorry TB, but this is pretty common knowledge. The CFL job is a gig until he finds something else coaching wise. If not, it's a nice cushy job to fall back on. But Higgins does want to coach again.

Plays? What plays? Plays? Don't talk to me about plays!! Do we actually have plays?

I haven't seen enough of Drew Willy to formulate an opinion on how good he is. In the time I've seen him, he looked okay. But he has a very good team around him with a solid OL plenty of weapons so how would he do here?? Trading Muamba to sask for him. Don't know about that as I'm not convinced.

If Boltus was listed as number 2 then yes, he goes in. He's been here long enough so give him the chance. Truly, had something bad happened & we lost in the final 23 seconds I'd have been okay with it as at least we tried. But going back to Goltz The Doltz then taking a knee being afraid to throw with him in there with 23 seconds left in the second half??? Unbelievable. No excuses anymore. Stupid decision. Goltz can't play & yet here we are using him in a situation where we have no chance of winning with him in there. If they are afraid to use their qbs then cut them all & bring others in. Burke coached not to lose. He coached passive. He coached scared. You don't win coaching a game like that & sure enough he lost.

Give me a break. Such a double standard lol Burke was the biggest mistake Mack made so even if Penton wants to slam Mack start with the #1 issues, terrible at picking head coaches. Mack was a total **** up.

Ha,ha... Lovin' this!!

What??? He clearly blamed Washington for not knocking it down, saying he is too young. He did not blame it on the O. He blames everybody for everything IN PUBLIC! That's exactly what I heard. Same, he blamed Washington. Burke needs to be fired.

Strike 2....... Bo's not going anywhere. Are the Bombers that dense?? Clue in, Walters. The Stamps are going to protect him. Same with some of the fanbase here. He's not leaving Calgary. Better to ask and be told No than not to ask at all...that would be dumb! Check my posts here since I posted that a few minutes ago....

I think Mitchell is the better fit in Calgary. Tate is a talented guy but he'd never co-exist with BLM & would be a distraction with his unhappiness. Glenn is an easy going guy & doesn't make waves. I think at the end of the day, the Stamps protect Mitchell & if none of their qbs are taken by Ottawa then trade Drew Tate. Just my gut feeling.

Now if the Bombers want Tate then ask away.... Please.

Strike 2....... good for them though. if they aren't asking, then they aren't doing their job. As I said, they've asked more than once & turned down everytime. Being in Calgary I know it's never going to happen. So the Bombers gotta move on.

Misdirected anger? More like frustration left over from Friday.... What I said though. There's no way the Stamps trade BLM as he is their future. The Stamps fanbase has been pretty vocal in their support of Mitchell over Tate. In the words of Mr.Lahey, "There'd be a ****storm in Calgary if they traded him anywhere".

Strike 2....... Bo's not going anywhere. Are the Bombers that dense?? Clue in, Walters. The Stamps are going to protect him. Same with some of the fanbase here. He's not leaving Calgary. Dense? What does it hurt to ask. They wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't turnover every stone. Mack was bad because he didn't talk to GMs. Walters is bad because has asks for things he should know he can't have. If Ricky Ray was traded, anything is possible. This is silly to criticize Walters for this. Walters has asked more than once. He's been told no everytime. Why would the Stamps kill their future in a trade with Winnipeg?? Not happening. We need to concentrate on another qb.

Tired of the Tim Burke Dog & Pony show. Had enough of the guy. Six games left. We ain't winning with him so can his ass after those comments.

Sure we should try to get him but that Ottawa draft stands in the way of doing anything...

Whaaaaaat??????
