Henry Burris better not be a stamp next year!

[SunshinesDad]

I wasn't sold on Burris when the Stamps signed him in the first place and I think this year proves that he is way too inconsistent to be a starting quarterback. I don't think Higgins has done a great job coaching this year (sitting critical defensive players during the year, and staying with Burris today even though it is clear that he is terrible).

I am a big Stamps fan and it is incredibly embarrasing to see Burris destroy our team and to see a defence that for the most part can't stop the run and has been bad all year against the pass.

Barker really has a lot of work to do in the off season!!!!! Hopefully his first move is to trade away Henry Burris!

[return to the red]

amen to that, Burris blows

[Winsor_Pilates]

Yeah, he really sucks. I don't care too much about football, but I feel bad for those who are true Stamps fans.
I would be ****ed at Burris

[Saint Troy]

Burris can't read a defence to save his life, and this organization has to go in another direction.

[Bertuzzied]

The stamps will never win a playoff game with Higgins as coach. Burris sucks too when it counts.

I hate it when he blames the receivers after every incompletion.

[CaramonLS]

Pray that Printers comes back from the NFL? Pick up the loser of the Calvillo/Palmer battle? Maybe Maas gets cut? See if you can get Dickinson or Pierce?

Might be some options, but I cannot see Burris being back here.

[Hakan]

Wow Burris sucked big time. That was terrible.

[troutman]

3 picks and a fumble. Burris can't be back. Dave Dickinson might be available.

[LockedOut]

Burris is overpayed junk. 2 playoff games, 0 TD's and 5 INT's plus at least a fumble that shouldn't have happened. Don't stand up on a 1 yard drive dumbass, get low.

[JiriHrdina]

He has to stop throwing off his back foot.

really though it doesn't matter. At this point he's done it enough that this is simply who he is. Doesn't make good enough decisions out there. I would be surprised if he is back.

[Resolute 14]

Well, this is two years in a row Burris literally threw away easy wins against inferior opposition.

Champions step it up when it matters most. Burris falls apart.

[OILFAN #81]

Burris really isn't good at football, plain and simple.

On a couple of the INT's he didn't have to throw the ball but just threw it to the Riders defense when the Stamps recievers were not in the picture. As Grant said, he also needs to stop throwing off his back foot. I don't think he will be back, Stamps need a good QB, the rest of the team is decent as is.

[Mccree]

On the bright side. This is the same time last the Flames turned it around. Stamps blow the west semi and Flames go on a tear.

[SaskaBushFire]

Go Green!!!!

I'm not really sure I agree with blaming the coaches. To me, this game was all Burris' to lose.

He said afterwards on the radio that he needs to make smarter decisions with the ball. Well, he's been saying that all year.

People who don't learn from their mistakes never will.

I think this game will be Burris' legacy. And what a way to end - a hail mary in the end zone for the final play, and it's picked off. Poetic.

[Red Mile Style]

Ha ha, to think, Burris once belonged to Saskatchewan until you guys stole him away.

As much as Burris is junk, I don't think it's not entirely his fault. I mean, Higgins pulled a bunch of experienced vetrans and juggled the lines around. This probably would be alright - in the regular season, but during the playoffs, that's suicide.

There were 5 turnovers - three didn't come from Burris, plus there seemed to be a bunch of penalties that also killed the Stamps. Plus, the calls seemed to be favouring Calgary, especially that one fumble early on that was ruled incomplete and that blatent face-mask.

Anywho, ha ha stupid Stamps! Let's go Riders!!!!! Wooooooooooo!!!!

[Bench Warmer]

Okay - I know I've been hamming it up a bit with the Riders win but this is in all seriousness.

When Burris was with the Riders, he was probably my favorite player. I was bitter when he left for the Stamps - probably still am. But when he signed with the Stamps, I said on here that Burris is either really good or really bad. There just doesn't seem to be an in between with the guy. I was worried today cuz he's usually really good against us - but he was back to his old self. Bad decisions and just a bad game. It reminded of the LD Classic in 2004 - Burris probably had the worst game I've ever seen of a Rider that day (and we've had some bad games in the past).

That said, I believe he will be with the Stamps next year. He's the Stamps guy - plus, he just signed an extension through 2009. What the Stamps brass will look at is what he can POSSIBLY do when he's on. And I don't think he'll be turfed because of this one. He was absolutely great for the Riders in the 2004 WF when McCallum missed the 18 yarder so it's not like he's bad all the time in the playoffs...

[Caramel]

No he is bad, he constantly leads the league in INTS, Burris must got, if not I will never ever purchase tickets to a stams game again.

[Shazam]

He'd better be gone. There's no guaranteed contracts in the CFL so they can just cut him loose.

You know what his main problem is? He wants to be a hero. It's not good enough for him to just do a low risk, high percentage play. Nope, he's gotta have the drama. He's gotta make the great play. Too bad he doesn't have the talent or the brains to execute.

As for Higgins, I'd keep him and sack Buratto.

[flamesaresmokin]

Up until this game i was a big burris fan, but he was flat out brutal. It wasn't blown routes except maybe one pick. I'm hoping we can swing a trade and get a more composed qb in here for next season. He just threw the ball away and made poor decisions. Either team would have lost to the lions anyhow so no big loss here.
