Captain Blue

Not a good game by Goltz. Didn't think it was a good game by Hall either though. He definitely moved the ball a little better, but he also threw into tight coverage an awful lot. Go back and watch all of his throws, there are several that were contested and probably should have been picked. I thought the bigger problem was the OL. Hall's got a faster release so he is able to minimize that a little more than Goltz but neither is going to have success with that line. They are hilariously bad. And this coaching staff still blows chunks. It should not have been such a monumental task to scheme against Edmonton on both sides of the ball.

Dual recording is where it's at.

The historic natural rivalries are in the West. Not Ottawa or Hamilton. Especially Ottawa next year. I'm hoping to see another Winnipeg/Hamilton GC someday. But the Bombers better hurry. I'm not getting any younger. One of the things I am finding out is that whether we are a West or East team, by fan perspective, depends on age. My dad for instance said he's happy to be back in the west as we've always been a west team. But by comparison, I told him in my opinion that we are an East team because for most of my adult life the Bombers have been in the east.

Mack should've released his QBs to show Reilly we wanted him? Reilly was worried about going against the crop of crap we had? Awful article. We should release all our QBs right now to show Collaros and other free agents we want them, lest they grow concerned that we may not be serious about our intentions.

Man I really thought we were going to get compensated. Should've stayed in the East if we weren't getting money.

It's good as now there's more urgency to build a better team & not rely on weaker teams to prop us up. I'm great with this because we are a Western city. When you are 2-8 there shouldn't need to be more urgency to build a better team. Sorry, not buying it. Wade Miller isn't sitting in his office going "Oh, we're in the West now? **** I guess this team does need to improve quickly."

Yuck. Hate this honestly. I grew up with the Bombers playing in the East the majority of the time, and for that reason I think of us now as an Eastern team, even though I am well aware of the geographical location of our city. Plus the East right now is a mess, and I'd rather be there. We're going to get pummeled in the West.

I watched the first half for the first time today. After listening to the radio rip him up and the comments on here, I was expecting Goltz to be awful. Frankly I don't think it was terrible. He had a pass literally go right through Edwards' hands, who was as usual about to argue for a flag. Later he had a throw smack right off Kohlert's shoulder pads when the WR took his eyes off the ball. Near the end of the half he made a decent albeit under thrown ball that Denmark couldn't catch in the end zone (the throw wasn't good and it would have been a hard catch, but still it was almost a completion). What I thought he struggled with was knowing when to throw the ball away. I felt that way last week too. I want to see him get the ball out when the blitz is on. Sometimes he still tries to scramble even when there isn't an open lane. It would help if our offensive line didn't completely just fall over anytime there's a blitz. Right now the goal should be to keep Goltz upright and see if that makes this a lot prettier. My guess is you'll see a big improvement. For now I still think he makes the best decisions of any QB on the roster, and provides added versatility with his feet. We can be successful with him.

They said Henoc's agent is a guy who pushes hard for his players to go after NFL tryouts. Could be something to that too, though Winnipeg is obviously a tough sell right now.

I think with this later move for Parenteau Walters has won me over. He's a big gamble. I know people won't like that. I wouldn't expect him to stay as busy as this in the future if he does get the role, but I love how he is finally acting on things we have been clamouring for. Get rid of Pierce? Check - and an added bonus for NI WR. Get a Canadian OL in here? Check. The only thing that would really give me a red flag is if he wanted to keep Burke.

I have nothing against Buck Pierce the person. Hopefully things work out for him in his personal and professional life after football. But I HATE Pierce the QB. I am more excited about this move than the win. This team kept wanting to ride the Pierce roller coaster so much and all it did was make everyone vomit. This move is one that puts the franchise on the right rebuild track.

This is the freaking steal of a decade. Pierce had the trade value of a used football...and not even one that was gently used. I LOVE what Walters has done so far. He's winning me over, and quickly. If he promises to get rid of the coaching staff, I might be sold on him.

they are funny.. stop trying so hard to find fault in everything bombers.. An uninspired **** joke is funny? This is like the Two and a Half Men of mugs.

It's so...juvenile. I honestly didn't even chuckle.

If the argument was that Buono saw something in him, then that's shot down now. Elliott had potential but made a lot of mistakes. Thought he made a lot of poor decisions on field. I'd rather we just keep searching...

Walters is winning me over...

The more QBs the better at this point. Like the move. Walters is racking up a few 'name' signings lately.

/puts on Bomber jersey and paints his face What if Walters is actually the best candidate? How many CFL guys have his knowledge of the Canadian game, it's players and the CIS system? There are other interesting candidates, but we know that the easier part of this job is finding the Americans. Mack's downfall wasn't the American talent (though it is apparent that isn't as good as I initially thought) but rather his inability to find a QB, a HC and Canadians (a group that improved with Walters running the show). /wipes paint off I'm not saying give him the job. I'm not even in favour of having him run this club. I don't think it's nearly as crazy as it seems though.

Would be so nice to have new DBs brought in.

If he can even just interrupt the DL a bit he's an upgrade on our right side of the line.

I think Goltz played well - until his game fell apart near the end. He was trying to do too much at the end, because the game was quickly slipping away.

Well at least we kept it under 100. Burke: "I thought we'd be better on defense today." If only we had a defensive coach to straighten things out...

Let's keep it under a 100!

Replays are so rare at Bomber games, it is probably my biggest issue with the new stadium.
