Based on both forums , every comment on the free press , phone calls to Bob Irving from the fans, overall talk around my work... literally everyone aside yourself and maybe 3 other people from this board want Buck gone IMMEDIATELY. Stop trolling.... and I don't think people really want Buck to get hurt... it's just unfortunate that Burke has been such a **** coach that he keeps that cancer around the team. So the only way Buck can go is if he gets hurt... which he will once any team blitzes him. Fear not Unknown Poster, next season your hero Buck will be nice and available for Ottawa and then he can flourish in the league and you can prove us all wrong with how great he is after he leads Ottawa to a winning season! I look forward to this!

Dinwiddie?? And clearly the obvious other point would be the massive CFL field.... I'm concerned about Hall because several of his deep balls were severely underthrown..... guys like Burris/Durant/Calvillo/Reilly when they attack deep that ball gets to the receiver in a hurry... usually when it's missed it is because they tossed it to hard.... while with Hall (and Pierce) it always seems like the receiver is 5 yards ahead of the ball as it skips on the dirt. Watch that last Edmonton game... Reilly was doing EXACTLY what Khari used to do by lobbing a missile and giving the receiver a chance to make the play. With Hall/Pierce the receiver literally has to stop and run back 5 yards and hope that the defender doesn't beat him to the ball.

Lol people are very testy on here , it's almost as bad as during the Kelly years where people over exaggerate or derail threads or go on wild tangents for no reason at all... All I was suggesting was that Hall wasn't the worst qb out on the field this last week. While I am critical of his throwing arm and still have my doubts on it (looks weak) looking back his play was better then some well established stars in the league. People around here (ISO / UNKNOWN POSTER / CURT HENNIG FROM HIS GRAVE ) made it seem like Hall was a complete waste of skin and that Goltz was equally as terrible... when in fact they weren't that bad considering they have barely any on the field CFL experience. The point of this thread was to show Hall actually had decent numbers and their were much worst qbs this week.

Signing anyone at this point is better then sitting on our hands , I'd rather a mediocre Bo Smith be on the field then having the same old secondary just running through the basics and giving a real lack of effort week in and week out. At least this shows that jobs will be on the line and it may light a fire under some of the guys asses. The team still needs a 4th qb and definite OL help pronto. As for safety... maybe Ian Logan gets a call?

Buck was bad last year and mediocre the year before.... Buck also had healthy receivers this season and could not perform..... Unknown poster is just trolling because no one normal would back buck this much. Just stirring the pot.

I thought for most coordinator jobs that the money is not guaranteed?

Lulay had the 3 ints.... Max Hall had 2.

So you don't think Max Hall having similar and also better stats then Durant and Lulay isn't something to take note of? Same goes with comparing him with another qb who was playing his first CFL game ever?

Patience .... it's almost a given that both are gone at the end of the season.

Toronto?

And I stopped reading right there.... a hold over... so 1 week is a hold over... also no mentioning that Mack told Lapolice YOU NEED A DEDICATED OC... Lapo SELECTED Crowton.. it was Lapo's guy. All that other stuff is nonsense and sounds like a lot of BS... almost Nate like in just throwing crap out and hoping to be right about something.

18/30 241 yards 1 td - 2 int 18/32 250 yards 2 td - 0 int 12/30 147 yards 0 td - 2 int 16/28 223 yards 1 td - 3 int 4 qbs who played this week.... which one had the best completion % and nearly the most yards..... He did way more then someone else making his CFL debut despite that guy being in the league for 3 years and backing up a legend that he could of learned lots from.... He had better stats then an all star QB with a fantastic o line and great rb... Almost had as good as stats as a guy in Saskatchewan who is playing behind a way better o line with much better talent at receiver..... Perhaps Max didn't do as bad as some people made him out to be.....even with the noodle arm he still managed to top Lulay, Durant , Niesomethingwander.....

No slack for Burke... the guy looks lost and way over his head... the OC wasn't the reason for him doing this. If he can't manage a team with both the offense and defense then he should stick to being a coordinator.

Long story short.... more then 50% of the fans are actually hoping that Buck goes down with an injury so that we can move forward with someone else. That is a very sad but truthful statement. I don't want to wish pain for anyone, but man would it benefit the club with Buck out of the picture.

Kavis Reed just got an extension literally a month ago....

The funny thing was that Ricky Ray was doing this all night long... I think he was 17/17 at one point .... but he was doing his same old dink and dunk passes... the difference was Edmonton could not tackle for shite and the YAC that Owens and Durie were getting really hurt the Eskimos. Also lots of ill timed penalties from both clubs .... the games score made it seem a bit closer then what it was...

So any chance of Elliott coming back next season?

51 yards of passing came on throwing into triple coverage, and completing the pass on a double tip drill. 9 times out of 10 it was an INT. Sometimes the breaks fall for you sometimes they don't... at least he moved the ball. It's to bad that Ricky did an even better job.

Wow Reilly had more yards in this one game then our qbs have had in the last 3 combined! Definitely has a strong arm and quite a gunslinger , it's unfortunate that we didn't sign him because he seems to have a good future. That being said Marshall defense was picked on big time by playing so soft... those dink and dunk passes by Ray were money all night and some easy YAC. Edmontons receivers came up big with some great long ball receptions... Overall a fun game to watch with both teams having issues on defense..

Just watched the game and Glenn looked OK, in the third quarter he had four passes in a row that his receivers flat out dropped.... I think he played good and doubt that Calgary will trade him

I have to say, I wonder why people around here like Howell so much. He sure hasn't helped Matthews this year. Or Denmark. Or Poblah. I'd get rid of Howell too. I think folks like him because he's a great community guy?

and if you don't throw missiles you can't win? Give us a break...Jyles for one! and many others Hey if we had the kind of stats that Jyles had with us we would be sitting at 500 minimum.... 19 tds to 7 ints is pretty damn good!

Aside from the fact that Saskatchewan has a fantastic offense and we had a pitiful offense and only won many of those games with superb performances from the D...

Everyone knew this was going to happen, not a shocker at all. The writing was on the wall when MB came as a consultant. As for who choose Crowton it was LaPo and all that other junk is nonsense. And who really cares Lapo was a genius on offense and he couldn't do sweet F all so he sucked just as much as Crowton. Time to move forward and I think MB's impact will only start to show maybe in 3 - 4 games from now... cant expect him to create a miracle over night.

From my very foggy memory as I don't want to remember that ugly season. I seem to remember our defense keeping us in close on many games but being on the field for far to long and the points piling up a lot in the 4th quarter when they were tired. Mostly because of the offense being absolutely putrid and lots of 2 and outs... a trend that has not gone away since then. Looking at the old stats... wow our offense really was putrid with Kelly. We had a 47% completion for our passing game! Last in the league for time of possession and a whole bunch of stats for the offence. The defense lead the league in int's and were near the top on lots of the good stats such as average yard per pass/run against them. The accumulative stats though they were at the bottom for most. Not really their fault considering they were on the field for more then 200 plays then the 2nd last team in the league!!!
