He does not deserve any more chances unless he gets his ass off the field.

Your hate for him is bizarre, since 2016 only 2 teams from the west have made the grey cup Calgary and Winnipeg.

He didn't throw 3 interceptions against Ottawa, or fumble against Toronto or throw an interception in the end zone.

we should have 4+ more cups if he would have called better plays.

We should have been up 15-20+ points on those kyitty teams. Those singular plays wouldn't have made a difference.

Why are you so willing to give him another chance? because he made the playoffs every year? where 6 teams out of 9 make it every year... lol

I haven't cheered for losses by a Calgary team since Button traded Savard and wanted Gilbert fired. But lets go stamps! lose every game until you fire Dickey.

Huh? 3 interceptions mean nothing? The fumble swung that game vs Toronto. Those play are difference makers.

What would you have done different? You understand the team that won with a backup yesterday is coached by our former QB coach. The defensive system installed by our former dline coach, who is now coach of Sask. Heck half that team was on our team.

The league MOP was our QB.

The cap and the ridiculous coaches cap really did a number on us. Do you blame Dave for that?

Replacing those players is almost impossible. Find a quality QB is hard, look at the NFL.

Why would you cheer for loses.

Yes so why didn't we keep Dinwiddie or Mace as our coach instead? You think a coach in a right state of mind would let Maier start 35 games in a row?? hahahahahaha

Don't tell you haven't watched a game for the past 10 years where you didn't think "why the eff did he just call that?" There are a minimum 3 per game. in a bad game at least 10+.

Because they got a head coaching job somewhere else adn we have a coaching cap in the league.


So those 14 and 15 win teams just won by fluke? Did Toronto call the best plays yesterday?

You understand we play against other teams and coaches who want to win as well right?

[dash_pinched]

Yeah, the play call to Andrew Buckley in 2016 was bad, as Bo said DD took the ball out of his hands.

In 2017, as Paulie pointed out above, the Jorden fumble was the difference. Tommie Campbell also picked the absolute worst time to have his most terrible game as a Stampeder getting burned deep not once but twice.

Also, how about a suggestion or two with possible replacements for DD, it's very easy to keep stating DD should be fired, but how about coming to the table with who you want to see as the new head coach?

Doesn't matter if you go 18-0 if you can't win a cup. It's a just a 2 game winning streak for those 14 win teams.

besides your points are moot if you think starting Maier 50 games in a row is indicative for a team who wants to win.

Even worse was if most of your play calls are 5 yard passes, why would you not give Stevens a chance at QB?

Yes the run with Buckley was maddening, should have won that game but Burris was on fire.

Campbell getting burnt was bad, but we still hung around. We also had 2 of the worst fields in the 17 and 18 Grey Cup. That plays a role in the play calling.

There are no good options for replacing Dave, not only is he a quality coach he is a good person who cares deeply about the team, the city and the league.

Should the Bombers fire O'Shea?

You are also not providing any answers. Which QB would you start? What coach replaces Dave?

Do you think Huff is a bum as well because he lost a Grey Cup?

They should. 3 losses in a row in the grey cup when you are overwhelming favorites is fireable.

After his first 10 starts... ANYONE BUT MAIER!!

Huff lost a few of those grey cups because of his OC and his terrible playcalling..... lol

Say no more. You irrationally hate Dave and provide no solutions.

Let's just forget he was the OC when we won those Grey Cups.

Have fun next year with the game on the line on 3rd and 1 and leaves Stevens on the bench.

It's true that the Stamps have let too many good players go but they used to be able to overcome that by bringing in new talent. It caught up to them eventually as the past few seasons they just haven't been able to field a talented team. Still kicking them when they are down is kind of low class IMO. Just celebrate your Grey Cup with class.

Agreed. I was agreeing with what Carey was saying in the article, he has a reason to be perturbed, and makes some valid points about Dickenson. But then it just kept going, and going...and going.

Once he got to this part: "It’s a bad organization. We laugh at them. We’re champions. I don’t wanna even be associated with the Calgary Stampeders anymore..", it had gone too far. Enjoy the win and shut up, Kadeem, stop whining about your ex when you love your new partner. Bad look.

[CaptainCrunch]

Yeah, when you win the Grey Cup and you go on a rant about your former team like that you kind of look like an idiot.



Here's hoping that the Stamps Linebackers line him up and light him up next year.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Was he asked about the Stamps or did he just go on a rant?

People have talked about his attitude issues in the NFL as well. P

Anyone else find those MVP trophies absolutely hilarious. So small even Arbuckles kid could one hang them.

I literally burst out laughing when I saw that award, it looks like something that you'd buy at Staples.

Heck, even the Grey Cup feels like a feather when you pick it up. It looks impressive, I figured it'd weigh the same as the 35 lbs'ish Stanley Cup....it's maybe 1/10th that amount. Feels kinda cheap when you hold it, but it certainly presents well on TV.

Didn't the Stamps break it in half?

Haha yeah I think so, think it's happened a few times actually. After feeling it, that's not surprising. I almost threw it through the ceiling, bracing myself for all the weight that never came.
