It's all been said above.

That's putting it lightly.

they were only ever there to fill out the roster of teams that bluto's Boatmen beat every week... I think you are going to get a run for your money this week... could it be you'll be sharing first place?

Sooo glad I took MTL QBs in the Fantasy Draft this year. 'The Sackos' are dominating the cellar with authority.

I liked this piece from CFL.ca http://cfl.ca/article/steinbergs-mmqb-the-gap-widens-in-week-8

IGF when we win tonight

Like you don't know

Also down to one strike after Harris/Sheets failed. Come on Chad Simpson, make it happen.

LMFAO Gold RG, gold

Wow is right. <--Without words

Thanks for sharing. If that's the case, at least Mack doesn't have to spend all weekend with the axe hovering over his head. If the leak was meant to force the BoD's hand... mission accomplished.

Rough game for the Als. Messam looked decent, over 6 yards a carry. But that's about it. That crowd is only going to get more hostile.

Aha I see, it's really just missing emphasis and quotations... Burke doesn't literally know 'nothing' about an offense, rather he leaves it in the hands of people who (presumably) know more. Or: Tim Burke knows vastly more about an offense than he claims and only lacks experience as a coordinator... even though he has been quoted saying he knows 'nothing' about an offense. And I'm sure that's obvious to you, so I don't know why you would take him so literally.

I'm not sure what more to say. It's all there, try again.

I'm sure coming up with a comprehensive offensive gameplan is a little different from knowing whether or not a QB has good mechanics. Burke doesn't literally know nothing about an offense, rather he leaves it in the hands of people who (presumably) know more.

Friesen's article had a little caption saying Joe Pop believes Mack should get the rest of the season to turn things around. But it's gone now for some reason. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/08/06/time-to-fix-bungling-bombers

LOL It's a bit early to be drinking isn't it?

All 3 phases of our team took turns looking good and bad last night... Renaud and the punt coverage team were the best they've been all season, but our returner fumbled the opening kickoff... good and bad. The Dline took Lulay down 5 times (1 taken away by a shady roughing call) and mostly shut down Harris on the ground at least, but Lulay made a lot of easy completions against some at times loose coverage. Good and bad. The offense.. well you saw. Good and bad. http://bcove.me/rz793qxg The opening 30 seconds of this video is Burke responding to the use of the word 'cusp', check it out

The message aside, I'm sure the 'peppyness' was overcompensation for the true feelings he had (somewhere between anger and outright fury I wager). No point going all Jim Mora only 1/3 of the way through the season.

http://www.cfl.ca/article/report-als-whitaker-out-3-4-weeks Now Whitaker is out for a few weeks, that isn't going to make things any easier. The trouble keeps piling up in MTL.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Sorry, I forgot cheeky emoticons to express the playful nature of my response... Did you actually want a response, or are you just asking rhetorical questions to nobody in particular? As a fellow fan I'm legit sorry for you that you're a self-described 'Buck guy'. I wanted so bad to see him succeed for his sake and for the sake of the Bombers, but that's clearly not in the cards. But really, why make this call at all? Forgive me if I'm failing to grasp your point, but that sounds like you'd rather see them stick with Buck at least til the bye week. I wholeheartedly disagree with you if that's the case, he should have been demoted at the very least back in the off season, and Goltz should be getting the starters share of reps RFN. I stand by my remark that it's the right call to make so it doesn't matter who made it. And you know what this team need even less than 'more distractions'? More losses. Something had to give and soon. This was the best move they've made all season.

- Who made the call? It doesn't really make that much of a difference if it's the right call. I imagine this decision was made by Burke, not Mack. - Why make this call at all? Because Buck is clearly not getting the job done, even when he is healthy. His injury history speaks for itself, as do his numbers (see Mike's post re: Buck's stats over his past 18 appearances). - I'm a Buck guy. I'm so sorry. - Where is the GM and CEO during this disaster? In their offices, doing their day to day work, I figure.
