Captain Blue

I wonder what happens if Hall looks decent Friday. Because Crowton is clearly going to be canned but if Hall looks okay then you're kind of in a tough spot. BLM and Ray aren't leaving their respective teams, and Collaros will be a free agent. We should have a good opportunity to grab him in free agency assuming anyone would want to come to the sinking ship that is this organization.

Not much of a leak, could see that move days ago.

Beating Hamilton isn't that much of an accomplishment. I will still want to blow the whole thing up. And I am going to be even more angry when Pierce goes in at some point late in the game. It feels inevitable. Man I hope Hall lights it up and keeps him on the bench.

Ya sheesh, would it have killed him to say something like "I let the offensive staff pick the decision and I support it"?

The only coach I've detested as much is Mike Kelly.

We excel at dysfunction. Might as well make it the 2014 slogan.

You'll get no argument from me here. Dude could be a DC for my team any day, but definitely not a HC.

Honestly the solution here is simple...we need Duncan O'Mahony here. ASAP.

I agree that Burke needs to take charge and start communicating better but on this one Goltz deserves blame too. I was angry with Buck when he took his thoughts to the media, and I'm angry at both that they did it today as well. It's unprofessional and Goltz has to realize that the situation has changed - and that Mack is not here to support him.

Ya I didn't listen to much of the show but I caught that part (was in the car for the first half of the show). He says Goltz was a little better, then moves him down to 3...I have no idea what is going on anymore. Also regarding the "heated discussions" it does not sound like Burke supports the QB move. If he did, I'm sure he'd say so.

See now this lines up with more of what we've seen. Mack gets fired and Goltz goes from first to third on the depth chart.

Teams will have seen enough out of Pierce this year to know to stay away. And honestly, we've seen several second stringers play better than him too. The only team dumb enough to think he is a capable QB seems to be our staff.

One guy's reading a book, the other watching TV and the third is in the bathroom...

Perhaps a day old bagel?

Now that I'm home I watched the video of Pierce and Goltz...man they were both royally pissed off. Was I the only one that thought Goltz is ready to get out of here?

f) Team has no idea what they're doing

The best case scenario right now is to burn this thing to the ground. I'm not interested in picking up a few fluky wins, getting into the playoffs by default and then get pummelled by an actual playoff team. Burn it down. Fire them all. Start with Burke.

But Mack said he would fix the position, then didn't deal for a QB, and now that he's gone old #4 moves up the depth chart. It will be hard to convince me Burke doesn't love Buck. There are too many words and actions supporting otherwise.

If true, Mack was ridiculously stupid. Not sure if I completely believe this though. Burke loves him some Buck.

Anyone here watch the game again? Goltz had some really bad passes but there were also some bright spots. People are way to quick to dismiss him already. And despite his struggles he was better than Pierce.

We are hilariously stupid.

I find it odd Goltz gets hooked before what would have been likely his two easiest starts. That I can't get over.

Open question: is this Miller sending down a mandate now, both that we have to win now (no surprise I guess ) but also that he wants even more change?

I'm gonna throw a party when we can Burke, but we'll see how these changes affect his future. I wonder if he will convince Miller a change at OC is all we need.

The thinking is that Goltz is a raw, developing prospect, Hall despite his inexperience a much more refined and QB.
