Besides Hartley wants to cover his butt too. If he lose 3 or 5 games in a row, Calgarians will demand him fired right away.

I understand what you're saying but I don't think MacDonald played very good against Vancouver or Columbus. It's my opinion that if Ramo had played like Mac last game, Hartley would not go back to Ramo like he is with Joey Mac.
I'm not saying Hartley isn't the right coach, I just really have to question this decision.
Why go with Ramo in the 1st game if you have such little faith in him? Why not start Ramo vs. the team that traded his rights last year? It seems like the perfect opportunity to test Ramo's confidence.
