Yeah, he says they don't act like they can win - neither does he....

It's frustrating when you see the Riders run Sheets N-S consistently and get 5 yards each time.

Didn't he say on H&L last night, if he were a betting man he'd say Goltz? All this back and forth is certainly frustrating. It'll be nice to finally get it over with and find out today.

Can't believe Ray and Harris got beat out for Durant and Bagg in garbage time against a team that didn't even bother to show up.

Well they don't do a lot of things Didn't Burke call out Pierce as needed to improve after the (very short appearance) preseason game? - From http://www.cfl.ca/article/irving-burke-bombers-working-the-pre-season-kinks-out And knew he was struggling after the opener: - From http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Winnipeg/2013/06/28/20938341.html I don't know, I just don't get the feeling that so many here do that Burke is the one pulling for Buck.

Any status on the other guys? I thought Poblah was getting healthy soon?

Oh god, just stop. They had plenty of opportunities last year. In regards to Buck being the starter, I, yet again, seriously doubt he is the one making that decision all by his lonesome.

I guess he'll have to make sure not to tackle in a preseason game. Oh, wait.

Preaching to the choir, but that seems to be how CFL coaches like to treat close games, basing it on score rather than how the team is actually playing.

Well I guess the good news is, if Pierce gets hurt now that they've unleashed the scrambler, the backup will have a lot of experience with the backup receivers

Not sure how all the blame is going on Burke, a HC who is putting all his offensive trust in Crowton.... does he not consult with Crowton about whether to pull Buck or not. I'm guessing Buck is on a very short leash at the moment. He got a "pass" when we won in week 2, and the game was never out of hand against the Ticats which makes it tough to pull him (imo) regardless of how awful he is playing.

How can you not understand it? Nichols was recovering from a serious injury, and Reilly ended up being the starter by Week 1. Here we refuse to pull a struggling QB until he's knocks himself out of the game. Pretty sure he chose right.

Burke has called out Buck's poor play before - I don't think he's the one who NEEDS him to play. That said... Is he waiting for Crowton to tell him to pull Buck? Burke is not the most offensively minded HC. And for those saying Bob's an idiot - try listening to other team's radio broadcasts. It can be tortuous.

Anyone know where to stream the game? I usually use stream2watch.me but for some reason it's not one there (no cfl games have been I dont think).

I couldn't find the Toronto one... but I've learned my lesson. Everytime they scored, "canada's team" scored. Who would have known?!

I can see what you're getting at... but why Glenn over and over, when he's one of the LEAST likely guys that would end up here. Forgot to add probably, that yes, Glenn is a better QB than Pierce in our system. Sad that Calgary's backup is better than our starter...

Sorry, I didn't read through the 4 pages of "well it's a good idea because .... but ...." I am so tired of this discussion. Would not happen. - Mack has repeatedly said he is not interested. His track record has proven he is trying to find a star QB himself (should be end of discussion here imo). - There's pretty much no trade that this would work out in. - Tate has barely played a whole season and is proving to be injury prone with his risky style of play. AFter Glenn, it's Bo Levi Mitchell and Sinopoli. Neither guys with CFL or barely any pro experience. /end discussion

Very interested to see how Montreal plays against someone other than the Bombers. I never would want to be the one playing against an angry Calvillo. I'd give the edge to Montreal, mostly because they're at home.

I was out of town and listened to this on the Rider radio station.... worst decision I ever made. Their offence seems to be firing on all cylinders (Sheets is ridiculous) - but they station claimed they have the best defence in the league.... does this seem accurate at all? It sounds like the defense barely showed up for the first and last quarter.

This is my main concern. None of our qbs have shown to be anywhere close to Buck, and we all know how we feel about his play. So I've resigned to waiting it out with pierce and hoping he turns it on permanently sometime soon.

I like when people are wrong just as much as the next person, just... so tiring. I missed this Harry Potter thing though!

Seriously doubt that. I see what you're saying, but I'm getting pretty tired of this "Oh! Remember when I said he didn't suck and now he's awesome! You suck!" or, "Oh! Remember when I said that guy was going to be terrible and now he is! You suck!". Everyone just HAS to be right and let everyone else know about it.

Yes. As of April 2012 he was ranked 11th (I think this was the 'final' rankings): http://cfl.ca/cfl-scouting-bureau-april-2012 In September 2011, he was ranked 6th: http://www.cfl.ca/page/ecamp-scouting-bureau_september_2012

Tjh got injured, going to Pan Am to see what's up.

Let's not all jump on the Etienne train just yet - let's see how he does up against the big boys in a reg. season game.
