I caught a bit of the postgame afterwards and my fav caller was the guy who asked if the busses would be fired up at halftime next game.

[iso_55]

This team is absolutely lost. What was Goltz doing in there after Hall got hurt? I thought Boltus was #2? When Goltz went in how many of you thought he was going to pull this game out of the fire? If you said yes then you're lying.

[Floyd]

I was a Burke supporter up until the second half of this game.  It is unfortunate to say but he does not have it...  I mean Kavis Reed out-coached him (AGAIN) and, well, its Kavis Reed...

[iso_55]

Burke threw Demond Washington under the bus blaming him directly for the loss. The CFLPA said coaches & managers can't do this kind of stuff... He should be fired.

[Floyd]

Just watched Burke's interview... wanking about rookies blah blah... except he was the one that cut Logan and Hef...  not to mention pumped Washington and Cauchy's tires.  Wow.  Free fall.

Ugh

he didn't really throw him under the bus... he mentioned bad punting ,  missed int opportunities (suber and demond) and the offense as a whole.  

 

I thought Brown was just being a tool and enjoying watching us lose.     

 

Mitch Z was just a ding dong thinking that this game was a positive... it took every ounce of restraint from Irving to not call him an idiot.   

 

I think of the three Irving was the most right on guy...

I enjoy listening to Irving .. but Brown was the one guy on the panel who thought the Bombers were playing not to lose rather than playing to win .. what happened last night in the fourth quarter was absolutely gutless.

On the other hand if they don't take a knee and Goltz throws and interception everyone is talking about what an idiot Burke is for not taking a knee.

[BlueBall]

Tim "Take-A-Knee" Burke...sums up his whole miserable career as a head coach.

So you're saying there's no way the game could've been won? 

[The Unknown Poster]

He won't be fired until the off season. We can't afford to lose him anyway. Imagine Creehan without Burke?

If only there were some way to keep Burke on as DC.

[blitzmore]

I've had my signature tag for the whole year...Many of us could see his tendencies a long time ago. Glad to see we cut an 82 percent kicker for one who chokes... to gain an extra 3 or 4 yards on a kickoff.

[The Unknown Poster]

No I'm saying decisions are impacted by outcomes. Burke is a Conservative coach. I don't like the decision. But I guess it annoys me to see the insults. Too much of the personal attacks on this board. It's very emotional.

So better we should all just say "Nice" things? 

[The Unknown Poster]

No. But much like disagree with a lawless article doesn't mean he's a fat bald ugly stuttering hack with no writing ability, calling Burke a **** idiot coward is emotional. Does anyone truly believe Burke the man is a coward? Or that he knows nothing about football.

I guess I much prefer the intelligent football discussion that this board was created to promote not the name calling.

Having said that, if he bombers had won in overtime I do believe people would still be upset with the knee. But Burke isn't paid to "go for it". He's paid to win and he felt the knee have them the best chance. I don't agree

Well that was good...you just did to Lawless what you're telling us not to do to Burke

Even the best people get upset sometimes, it happens.

Fans and objectivity are not synonymous. Hence the derivation of the term fan. Burke's argument was he had an ill prepared QB with just above zero playtime in the game with 25 sec. He made an objective decision. No one has commented on Burke's decision to play defence first in OT? A decision I am sure was also objective providing his QB more time to prepare. Perhaps the counter argument could easily be he should have rested and calmed the D after giving up the td for the tie. Isn't hindsight from an armchair wonderful.

The decision to play defence first is because it gives you a huge advantage in the overtime format.  If you go offence first and find yourself on 3rd down, you pretty much have to kick a field goal.  By going offence second, you already know what your opponent did, so if they scored a TD, you have the luxury of knowing you have to go for it on 3rd down.  If they went FG, then you know you can kick the FG.

 

Has nothing to do with resting defence or preparing your QB.

I missed the post game and miss the golf visor.......  Any mention of who is running Gassers this week?

Which is precisely why guaranteeing overtime against a hot QB with all the momentum was the worst decision  he could have made,

[DR. CFL]

And I assume that Burke then actually made a sound decision for a change ? Or you sent in the call?
