Shankman, right? He's the reason I left. Over moderated on that site. The guy is way too zealous & Colin is as usual oblivious to it all or doesn't care. I got 3 warnings in less than a week for saying things that would be considered tame here so I got fed up & left. I'm all for being well behaved but I don't need to be warned for saying things similar to what you said, BNBB. We now have a choice thanks to the chaps here & this website

If winning that game against Edmonton is showing signs of life then that Als team is already the Walking Dead.

Just happened? A rookie qb in his first start torched us for 376 yards & 3 tds. I like you're trying to find a silver lining in a black cloud but that's being too generous. A sack here, a pick there, some pressure to throw the ball sooner than he'd like may have made the difference. But as in the Argos game, the Bomber defense let both qbs get on a roll.

Mack's got to go.... Lots of posters here don't want to hear that but I think he's done. This team is regressing. He fired LaPo for what??? A Crowton offense which is worse than it was a year under LaPo??? A young head coach who while he made some mistakes managing the game because of inexperience.... yet never, ever looked totally demoralized, flummoxed, like Tim Burke does having no answer as to how to get this team to win. Right from the very first game Burke coached as a HC in Regina last year, this team has never been ready to play. We are constantly being outcoached. And Mack gave this dude a long term deal. Begone, Mack!

The GreenBlues... errr... OrangeYellows... errrr.... RedBlacks will take a mix of youth & experience. They'll take a guy first who they think gives them the best chance to win & then a second & third qb. The second being the closest they feel he is to starting & then the best long term developmental guy they can draft. Pretty simple formula.

Going into the bush, eh??? I'll make a couple. We'll be 1-6 very quickly. Heads will roll. Not just players.

I'm guessing the name gives it away?

Well, Tate would have to have about 20 more injuries or break an arm shaving before being fairly compared to Buck... It just may be some temporary bad luck & he may never get seriously hurt again. With Buck, you know it's going to happen again & again. Not so with Tate. He'd make a difference IF he had a playbook to work with. I doubt this team could win with a healthy Doug Flutie in his prime with Crowton calling the plays but to get a guy like Tate??? Either he stays in Calgary or Ottawa is gonna grab him. I'd rather he be here in Winnipeg than Ottawa.

17, it all starts on defence with pressuring the qb. Blitzing is big risk, big reward kinda stuff especially against a guy like Ray. But a rookie qb??? He'll be running for his life or throwing the ball into our defenders hands as inexperienced qbs can't make their reads as quickly as a veteran qb can. Plus inexperienced qbs hold onto the football longer making a blitz easier to get to him. So, to just sit back & let Mitchell throw rushing the DL?? That's no strategy as we do it game in & game out. No pressure means a qb has time to go thru his progressions & for the receiver to get separation. Disrupting the qbs timing & putting absolute fear into his head where he throws early or inaccurately is what our D needs to do. Look at guys like Ray & Durant. They get rattled easily as they don't like to get hit... Yeah, they could kill us but what's the diff... we're getting killed anyway playing this defense. The stubborness of this coaching staff to stick with things that don't work is going to cost all of them their jobs as this is getting absolutely stupid.

Creehan refuses to blitz. Can't get any pressure from the DL. We have to blitz to create pressure on the qbs. What we're doing now just isn't working.

Tate would be available for the right price. With the emergence of BLM now.

Attendance is gonna start to free fall. The Bomber Board Of Directors must be in panic mode right now as they need big crowds to pay back their debt. Those people have royally screwed up now for years with their GM & coaching decisions.

Goltz looked good at times & inexperienced other times. He/s being hung out to dry. Sink or swim. But hey, Buck/s back next game... Ugh.

Quote of the week. Funny & sad at the same time.

I am just sick & tired of the bullshit & the fact nothing ever changes with this team. I/m angry that a fanbase like ours has to put up with this garbage year after year. I want change yeah, damned right. Big changes, but I/m being totallly irrational & emotional right now.... Arrrgh. TOUGH TO TAKE!!!

Right now, I'd think.

Do you seriously think that Tim Burke is the kind of head coach that can get this team to win 9 of it's next 11 games & go on a run? Just can't see it. Maybe this is a 6-12 team, maybe.

So what? We couldn't sustain drives. Look at the TOP.

Now, you just contradicted yourself... Exact opposite of what you said. Whatever.

Okay, whatever you say. Let's give the kid no credit at all for playing well. The Bombers beat themselves tonight. It's all good. can't wait for their trip to BC Place. Piece a cake & a guaranteed win. Wake up dude, smell the flowers. This team has one foot in the grave. That's why fans are upset.

When a qb has time to throw he'll find open receivers. It's too much to ask the defensive secondary to keep blanketing receivers play after play when there's no pressure on the qb. That, to me is the defense's problem. And the fact they're gassed because the offense can't sustain drives & it's constantly 2 & out...

Mitchell is a 3rd string qb by circumstances only. He won't be a third stringer for long. Drew Tate may be available. Maybe the Bombers make a trade???

When you play teams with qbs like Burris, Durant & Lulay they are tougher to scheme because they have to be accounted for. It's actually 12 on 12 & not 11 on 12. AC & Ray are so good at getting the ball away & finding the open man that it doesn't matter if they aren't accounted for. Our qbs aren't a threat to run or pick a defense apart so teams can scheme them easier & have little or no fear of big plays from the qb position. Not using the option off of the zone read by the Bombers tonight with an athletic ab by Goltz??? Unreal.

We don't blitz. No pressure. DBs in chase mode.
