But Buck has zero strengths, Goltz is way more agile and has a stronger arm.

Or to take over the job hmmmmm

But Burke has been doing this all along, Mack wanted Buck gone, coaching staff wanted Buck to stay because he gave then the beat chance to win. Coaching staff wanted Elliott gone. If Burke wanted what was best for the club he would of had Elliott or Goltz be our starter and let them get more experience in game action. The only time anyone aside pierce got any playing time was when Buck would get hurt. So this whole must win now mandate has been going on since they traded Jules.

The drastic changes needed are with the coaching staff,

Wrong Sinopoli is the 4th qb.

I'm basically suggesting to have Tate take Bucks spot on the roster. We keep Goltz playing and if he stinks the joint up I'd way rather have Tate go in then Buck. They are equally injury proned however Tate has looked fantastic when he does play while Buck has been the worst qb in the league. I'm not saying put all eggs on Tate, suggesting we bring him in to get some wins this year and maybe in the future he can be our Kevin Glenn.

This is a good start, someone with cfl experience that can help out. Is he going to consult with the offense or as a gm?

So I'm going to assume the fans are ok with writing off this year then?

With his more turnovers, less point production and lower qb rating? Despite being nine year vet. If Goltz can reach that level of production in only two starts then clearly his ceiling is way higher. If Buck with healthy receivers can only be marginally better as you claim then why not stick with Goltz?

We've had the mandate to win for the last few years, this is why Buck had been starting despite getting injured all of the time.

So no one wants to try to salvage this season then? Tate has what Five TD passes this year with only a few games played. That's more then all of our guys have done all year. I'd rather risk it this year with Tate then with Buck

Riders almost made the comeback but bad penalties and the Jock Sanders non conceding the single killed them. Calgarys secondary was god awful, the lbers were also poor in the second half. That defense will prevent them from winning the championship. Rider fans are hilarious, they were lucky that the refs didn't call more major penalties on them. Lots of border line unnecessary roughness penalties missed same with the high tackles.

For a good laugh read riderfans.com they are saying it's the end of the season, the beginning of the downfall and how crappy the Riders are..... love how a team can be 5-0 and then the fans give up on them for maybe losing a game!

If Buck starts again then Burke has then lost his job at the end of this year. Absolutely nobody wants Buck to start and thinks that he should

So far so good for Calgary. Very creative play calling and with the help of a few ill timed penalties and the turnover and they have the lead. Rod Black on the other hand has called an awful game so far. So many mistakes and confusing Sinopoli with Cornish was pretty funny.

I'm just saying for the rest of this year ...

Who could they bring in that could do anything?

This is why I think they should trade for Tate now while the Calgary fans are against him because he could really be the best stop gap qb we can get before moving to Goltz or whoever else full time..

With Calgary seemingly fed up with his constant injuries... Why not make a trade for him now? Send Jovon and Poblah and Buck for Tate and another player. We should always have a cfl veteran qb, he'd be the perfect filler guy to have to ride out this season while Goltz gets more experience. Considering how crappy Montreal and Hamilton are, I think the odds of us getting into the playoffs would be much higher with Tate then Buck. I think he'd be the only qb that could salvage or season. Anyone agree?

Qft! I think a few fa signings would of gone really far the team.

People are way over reacting the Bombers current state. This isn't like when Mike Kelly gutted the team and this isn't like when Taman locked up all our salary money on old crusty players. We have a really young team, lots of talent in various positions, we have depth , draft picks and should have lots of free room under the cap. Truly all we need is a few guys on the o line, qb stability, and a good oc. People are way over reacting on the current state. Remember if we had someone average like Glenn and say Doug berry has our oc.... We would of won our first three games easily. I'm hoping they bring in a gm who won't take other teams scraps (boatman) and who will bring in guys to compete on a regular basis. Burke can only stay of he gives full control of the offense to somebody who knows what they are doing. I.e somebody who will bench Pierce and not flip flop on him.

Well looks like it was under my guess...glad they made a move and it'll be better if buck was released also to give rest to the qb spot.

I like the hire and the move. I say keep Crowton and Burke until the end of the year, and force them to play Hall and Goltz for the remainder of the year. Burke can then only stay if he wants to be the dc

I don't blame the fans for booing, so many costly turnovers and lots of bad drops from their big play guys.... messam dropped 2 easy passes that could of extended drives. 2 returns for TD's , lots of bad penalties.... i'd be pissed if i was a fan...

That was a fantastic game to watch and enjoy, Montreal is a bigger train wreck then we are! Devine should get benched ASAP, I looooved when they sacked Collaros deep in Torontos end only for Chip Cox to take a completely stupid 15 yard penalty followed by Edem taking another ridiculous 15 yard penalty.... Popp has no control over his guys. Collaros looked like a rookie out there, was not impressed at all considering he had a tired defense and a running game that was working. The hype has cooled off on him IMO. I love how Matt was puzzled that Popp wouldn't put his back ups in.... I also thought it was very short sighted considering Calvillo is definitely going to retire at the end of this year... me thinks Tate is starting QB for Montreal next season. SJ Green is dropping more balls then Matthews.... Goltz had better stats then Calvillo soooo maybe Popp will get desperate and we can trade Buck to them for some poutine and a draft pick?
