do or die

Was on a beach in Malaysia.....when some guy got hit/whipped by a stingray. Pretty ugly lower body injury.....

Yeah, guy was a young Canuck and all but.....he simply looked terrible - took real bad angles and as a tackler, the defensive equivalent of Brock Ralph.

Wonderful......if we have a coaching staff, this year that will have some clue, on how to get him out into space......

Well, at least this is one more excuse, to come off the books.......

A truly exhaustive search and signing process, here........

Burke simply needed to throw somebody....even "his guy", (several weeks previous) under the bus....in order to facilitate further execusemiestering.......

Not going to dump on the guy.....merely ecstatic, at his departure.......

Well, enough people, round this league have already filled me in.....to how badly this organization is viewed by others....and it is not a edifying sight.... At this stage, we really have to sign Burris, who would provide a creditable option at QB, short term.....and buy the new management some time....to bring in the next young hope, or two. Selling Hall and "somebody or other" as the options, going into this year, would create some pretty scorched earth, round this fanbase....

Would of loved to get Banks here, say....3 years ago. That said......if ever a team was crying out for some attitude and veteran leadership....it's this one. Banks is the kind of guy who can be the de facto assistant (for a rookie HC)....in the room. As far as Poblah.....look like Tarzan, play like Jane. Tracking the ball, in the air and catching it....ongoing problems. If Wally can't turn on the light bulb, Kito's next gig.... will be working out of a cubicle, somewhere.....

Bombers took the "play safe" route here.....experience and continuity, over pursuing "excellence"... like say, trying to find the next great OC. Oh well.... At least MB has a clean slate this year (no trace of Crow) We will see. As far as the Goltz banishment....my money was on it being Burke's idea... in a typical attempt to deflect the heat.... from his own shortcomings.

Wanted this to be O'Shea... Because I have pounded away on the forums, for years...on the need for direction ,leadership and accountability from the HC slot.. Might finally get it...

Good on Walters to not panic, coming out of the gate, despite all this pressure. ..

Pretty sure that one way or the other.... Bombers are not going for the "experienced" option at HC. Given that scenario... O'Shea is a name, I hoped would come up. We can make fans happy (and finally have that de facto QB coach), by giving Jones the shot as OC - the next logical step in his career progression. Bottom line, this team has simply had a giant void in leadership and the required attitude, needed to win. If we are going with a "comer", I just have a gut feeling that O"Shea could change up the vibe, round here.... Of course, we could simply retain Burke, Creehan, and Marcel ......save some dough, and wallow in mediocrity, or much worse....for for the next 10 years..... Bring on the comers......

Like "great week of practice"......."exhaustive search" has made it onto my Bomber list.... of phrases to be banned...... Currently considering "on the cusp".....

The total ineptitude of this organization.... to find and develop young QB's continues, it seems forever.......we finished investing 3-4 years on Elliott, Brink and Goltz....and currently end up with Boltus.... Gawd... That said, playing Boltus in short yardage/red zone situations.....is yet another clear reason to dump the HC/OC, moving forward....

Betting on Walters.....nice, tidy, cheap, already in the house.....none of that strenuous, exhaustive search stuff..... Hope I'am wrong... Btw...as far as waiting almost a month to determine Burke's fate....the Bomber braintrust might want to clear up this "interim" mode ASAP....for if this drags on much further. ...they will have to start worrying about more and more "interim fans"

Yup, particularly when we have such real good practices.......

They should be playing it......when the Bomber O is on the field....

From top to bottom, players and coaches.....we have created an entire culture of excuse making, round these parts.

Why conduct a thorough and exhaustive search for the best possible GM...... when you already have the good ole inexpensive options, "in-house"? I mean really......

What some folks fail to realize is....that at this point....firing Burke is no longer an option. It is a prerequisite. That is....if you actually want to create some sort of "new attitude", round these parts ...and are simply tired of this guy's excuses, his playing "not to lose", the lack of leadership and purpose, the failure to take any responsibility whatsoever, the inadequate preparation for games, the unsound on-field decisions, and finally......his standing around along the sidelines, looking like Huckleberry Hound, after Clementine dumped him yet again....... I know that I am. Never mind Monday......Burke should be fired, even before the sound of Saturday's final gun, fades into the night.

We do have some young talent....but: It will be interesting to see the (potentially negative) effect on them.....by riding out the rest of the season, with the present staff, particularly Burke....

Everybody has to share the responsibility.....that includes Burke Unless anyone really thinks T.B. has done a bang up job, as a HC, this year....beyond the wins and losses.

Yup, after 4 years Buck is finally gone and we get to suffer with the rookies.......which of course is a major reason Mack is unemployed, right now. Actually, Burke is being blamed, for a number of things....beyond that. Hey, he's either responsible for the personnel on the field or he isn't, so which is it? Generally, the HC has a major input, in personnel decisions......unless we buy the theory that Burke was/is just a helpless puppet/victim of Mack. Burke IS responsible.... for maximizing the talents of the existing personnel on the field, overseeing the activities of the assistant coaches, making needed in-game adjustments, making the correct in-game decisions and providing a motivational/leadership example for both the staff and the players..... How would people grade him, on those?
