  3. Jon Cornish has setback

    If the CFL was serious, I mean really serious about concussions, Hebert would have been suspended, instead of just being fined half a game cheque. Big whoopdey doo. Cohon can say whatever he wants but it's all BS. Just remember, next game, it could be one of our players who gets hurt because of a dirty hit to the head.

     

    The CFLPA is just as much to blame as the CFL. Suspensions have to be negotiated into the CBA and as you may have noticed, the CFLPA has a long history of not wanting to agree to player suspensions because of the wage loss.

    BS.  Reilly didn't slide feet first.  He didn't hook slide.  He wasn't down by contact.  He got back up and continued the play which is what the rules allow and exactly what he was taught to do.

     

    The defensive players don't need to think if it was a hook slide or feet first or even if it's a QB.  No thought process needed.  All they have to do its tag the player on the ground.  Every freaking time!  I don't mean spear the player on the ground.  I don't mean hit the player on the ground.  I mean tag the player and I've never seen anyone get a penalty for that.

     

    This shouldn't even be a debate.  If Willy had done it, we'd be rightfully saying "Good Job". 

     

    Of course we would be. There's nothing wrong with what Reilly did. I'd expect him to get up if he didn't hear a whistle. The point is there should have been a whistle.

     

    This is one of those arguments where you're obviously not going to get it, so we'll just leave it at that.

    Argh! Any player on the ground, QB's included, have to be touched down and every player on the defense knows that.  It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

     

    No. They don't.

     

    Reilly slid. The play is supposed to be dead because he's giving himself up. There's no touch required in that situation.

     

    And to be honest, considering the way they flagged both Turner and Willis for such minor contact to a QB, I'm not sure the ref doesn't throw a flag if someone tags a QB after he slides.

    Epic fail. Tackling 101 not happening. Willy has been exposed. Where is the goddam running game? Despite lack of plan, execution was pathetic . I'm more pissed at Rielly not being tackled by the 20 guys that didn't wrap him up. I have foam bricks, lucky me or my tv would be...  Better be a learning game, or we're fcked.

     

    lol here we go. Willy has been exposed.

     

    As what? A quarterback who won't go undefeated?

    Abject and utter failure on O....in both preparation and excution ...we looked completly intimidated.....

     

    Moes rushed 3-4 guys and were in Willy's face all night....they also did a good job of blocking some of Drew's passing lanes....because of the penatration.

    Grigsby....too much zig-zag, and starting to wonder about his hands

    The group we started at receiver....wouldn't make too many DC's lose sleep...particularly at wideout

    Noted the physicality issue against the Als....this time, OL just got pushed around entire game

    Didn't see a single roll out/sprint play, entire nite

     

    This. Especially the stutter steps.

     

    Just run straight ahead. You don't need to be dropping your shoulder to fake out a defender that is 5 yards away from you.

    Apparently the "rule" is that he didn't give himself up because he didn't slide feet first.

     

    I don't know how it's written, but to me a slide is a slide and I guarantee you if someone had buried him, it would've been a 15.

     

    Definitely not the stupidest call by an official tonight though, which belonged to the guy who flagged Washington for belting Stamps in the end zone. Flag the play, not the result. Thought Odell Willis got tagged for one lame one too on Drew Willy. You can't hit a guy low, that doesn't mean you can't pull him down by his leg.

    Dave sorta explained it to me...something to do with Suitor....but the whole thing just seems really dumb. 

     

    Darrelle Revis is a corner in the NFL. The space he occupies on the field was/is called "Revis Island"

     

    Randle Island.

  23. Arland Bruce sues CFL over concussions

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

     

    Since this lawsuit is in Canada and not the States, if any damages are awarded, it won't be anywhere near what they could get in the states.

    So, let's say Bruce wins & gets $5 million in damages that's a hit of over half a mill per team. If it's upwards of $10 to $20 mill, you do the math. More? The floodgates will open. Keep laughin', guys.

     

     

    Who is laughing?

     

    I'd love to actually have a serious debate with you about this because it's a very interesting discussion, but I'm not even going to bother because I know the minute I disagree with you (which I do) you're going to take it personal. I stumbled across an old CFL forum the other day and I saw posts of yours from as far back as 2002. How have you managed to make it 12+ years online without being able to figure out that just because someone disagrees with you, it doesn't mean they're attacking you personally.
