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.

I was responding to someone who claimed Huf (HC), Dickenson (OC), and Millanovich (another HC) were better equipped than Crowton to mentor their QB's because they were former QB's. Do they not have a lot going on as well?

Risky business... Week 6: Andrew Harris Week 7: Kory Sheets

Already ordered my jersey

It also helps to have someone on the outside reinforce and validate the things you're doing right, as well. We get consultants come through my office all the time. Never a bad idea to get a fresh set of eyes.

I agree that a solid oline would go a long way... but Gary Crowton was a former QB; he played QB at Snow College in Utah 1976-77, and again at Colorado State in 78. Further, he has coached 7 QB's that went on to be selected in the NFL draft. So... there's that.

I know we've gone on and on about there not being a dedicated QB's coach, but I thought for certain Gary Crowton was still mentoring the QB's. I know he spent a lot of time with them during TC. He's been a QB's coach (among his other roles) since '91. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Crowton#Offensive_Success_and_QB_Guru

What get's me is the factual errors in their articles. Even Ed Tait (Freep) said in his latest article that the Bombers have only thrown for 2 TD's through 5 games this season. I mean... come on. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/so-many-problems-217546701.html DIRECT QUOTE: Fact: The Bombers, as a team, threw for only 16 passing TDs a year ago and are on a slower pace this season with just two through the first five games. Well, I'm pretty sure that Chris Matthews was the first Bomber to catch a TD at IGF, and J Detain scored another 2 in our most recent game against Calgary... this is only off the top of my head. The writers in both papers are awful and getting worse. Pulitzer Prize? Not even worth a participant ribbon.

Sure did. Collaros has clearly mastered the 5 D's of Dodgeball. Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

When is the last time you actually saw a copy of the Winnipeg Sun? Out of curiosity, of course. It's just... the Sun is such a rag, cover to cover...

Worth repeating.

I'm like that little kid that touches the red-hot stove top after he's been warned it's hot... I should have listened. Consider yourselves warned twice!

I think to celebrate Coach Harris I'll going to one of his old haunts for lunch: The Burger Place at Portage and Rutland. The man had good taste in greasy burgers, that's for damn sure.

Whitaker for the win! Or more like Edmonton defense for the win.

Get fired up, MBB! We have horses to flog.
