Just take a look at Tim Burke, small man syndrome, this guy will never be a HC.

Below average tackle even if he was a NI. It's like the dutch boy and the dike, stick a finger in one hole and another leak opens somewhere else, that's just because other teams actually scout our weaknesses and then exploit them in games.

The most productive time for the offense was the last 7 games of last season, when Buck was in the booth with the headset on. Now if you ask me, you could pretty much take any former CFL QB and ask them to call the plays from Crowtons play book and it would be an improvement.

Yup, stay the course to the end of the season, maybe offer up a coordinator or two as lambs, but start planning for the house cleaning that is coming in the off season.

Doug Brown and half the city agree with you.

Bang on. Two games in a row facing top OC's and they made the defence look like swiss cheese. The Bomber defence is dreadfully undersized and teams have figured it out, pound the ball down their throats and get match ups on our smurfs in the secondary. And three games in a row where the Bomber offence gets shut out in the 3rd quarter, that's being out cached at half time, Crowton is garbage and Burke is clueless except when it comes to making the wrong decisions at pivotal points in games. ******* gong show again like the Jim Dailey year.

This article actually confirms it assuming the Bombers had the first pick in the second round. http://www.canadianfootballtalk.com/cfl-news/ted-laurent-nabbed-by-eskimos-in-second-round/?doing_wp_cron=1374810147.2083780765533447265625

Interesting comment from Lapo that seems to suggests getting both was a possibility. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Winnipeg/2011/05/26/pf-18194341.html

The level of coaching in the CFL really is as bad as it looks, no timeouts left and you run the ball instead of having 3 shots at the end zone, simply brain fartish.

Hey, somebody has to be the first to start the rumor.

You inherit a first place team (10 - 8) who went to the Grey Cup.........and that's not an ideal situation for a new coach......other than having won the Grey Cup......you don't get any better than that. Unless of course it was somebody else's fault that the team went to horse shat......Mr Mack.

Goltz was in Detroits camp with Stafford, he ran a 4.3 - 40.......that's pretty darn quick.

A coach has to lead by example.....

Goltz should do fine as long as he is allowed to run out of the spread offense. I don't know how they thought they could employ a spread to run offense without a qb who was actually a threat to run in the first place.....

I give the Argo defence just as much credit for stringing those Simpson runs out to the sideline as anything. The Bombers just don't run enough options out of that formation to fool most defences, never mind a Chris Jones defence. Still comes back to the OC having a bland offence with little or know imagination in the play selection.

Actually, the speculation is that these guys were cut to make room for Isaac coming over from the Argos, so releasing a veteran to pick up another is not really the same thing.

If I couldn't find an OC with CFL experience, the next best thing is one who can run a west coast offence, which all that Trestman was doing in Montreal, but doing it very well.

Hey, every team in the league uses the jet or sweep at least once a game, our problem is that we run out of the same option read every time unless Goltz is in and then runs with it. A whole 2 running plays in the arsenal.....not good enough.

No thanks.

An absolute golden opportunity to get some veteran presence in the locker room.....their experience alone could help our young Lber's and DB's develop.

lol, nobody has time to let the play develop behind our terrible oline.......just a thought genius, shorten up the routes and get rid of the ball quicker and you might have something.

The best way to beat a good offense.......is to keep their asses planted on the bench as long as possible. Even a shitty offense (like the Bombers) can eat up clock with ball control but that means getting good production on first down, especially when all your big play guys are sitting in sick bay. Any QB can throw 6 - 7 yards, which is what you need on first down, once you're in second 3 or 4, then you can start to think about running. This is CFL Offense 101 at it's most basic.

Considering we're down 2 I receivers 2 NI receivers 2 I DT 2 I DB yes, I guess I do......

Now this is going to turn things around..........

The Argos have a lot of speed, combine that with lots of crossing patterns (subtle picks) and an accurate QB and you get receivers looking wide open all night. The defence never had a chance playing man coverage and zone is only for experienced guys who have played together and know when to pass off on the coverage. That is why they all took turns looking bad tonight.
