That game was a rout. Challenges/reviews would have had zero impact on that. Wait until a 20-17 game where there's a blatant missed call on the drive that would have turned the outcome.

Or inevitably let Fajardo take over.

The best system IMO is the NCAA one which relies on the booth to initiate reviews with coaches given minimal challenges. I'd like to see the CFL move to that. They don't call down to the field every five plays, but it gives the league a mechanism to get it right even if it isn't a scoring play or turnover. Also I forgot to add my time limit which is 60 seconds to review and 90 total to have a decision to the field otherwise call on the field stands.

Here's my proposal: -Up to 3 coaches challenges per team. If a coach loses a challenge, they are done for the game. Need a timeout to challenge. If a coach tosses a challenge flag to challenge something that isn't reviewable they are done, lose their timeout and are assessed a 10 yard objectionable conduct penalty. -Coaches can challenge anything but penalties. -Review of penalties (PI, illegal contact, UR, RTP) can only be initiated by the Command Centre. -The Command Centre can initiate a review (not just scores/turnovers) at any time to correct significant on-field missed calls, wrong calls and improper application of rules.

Kind of a silly position IMO. Used to finish a game concussed too, or play the next one. If there is a tool to prevent or fix HUGE mistakes, why wouldn't they use it? They should use it, they just have to refine the process and close the loopholes. Maybe broadcasting the games is bringing too much scrutiny. Radio only, like the good ol' days.

Who cares about PI or RTP? What about fumble/down by contact? Catch/no catch? Many of these don't happen on turnovers or scoring plays. They are getting these wrong every game and unless they are giving more power to the "eye in the sky" to initiate reviews this is a brutal move towards officials deciding outcomes.

PI isn't as bad as the illegal contact ones, just eliminate those and it wouldn't be so bad.

Well look at our games this season. We had to challenge a catch for a first down that clearly and blatantly incomplete against BC. So now O'Shea would have to gift that first down to BC to preserve his challenge for later? Bullshit. They got it wrong again, the old cut off the nose to spite the face change.

Disagree. The problem wasn't the number of challenges coaches could initiate, the process was the problem. I would have limited PI reviews to video at regular speed, set a hard cap at decision within 90 seconds or inconclusive and eliminated the illegal contact review. Just wait until someone loses a game on a botched PI call that they could have reviewed previously, the pendulum will swing right back around.

Could just set all their ratings to 99.

Knox has no clue against the pass, doesn't have coverage instincts. He's a ball chaser and as a result he gets sucked into the line and taken right out of the play a lot. Rare to see a play where Wild doesn't end up right at the ball, whether it's at the line of scrimmage in his gap or 80 yards away across the field. Don't see that in Knox.

Every game against an Eastern team is a must-win for a team looking to make the West playoffs, even potentially for 4th place. If the Bombers go 6-2 against the east (2-0 right now) and manage 4-6 or 5-5 against the West (1-2) they'll surely make the playoffs. If they sweep the East or do a little better against the West they'll host a playoff game. Bottom line, gotta feast on these shitty eastern teams, and they are shitty. No ability to close games.

I hope Ottawa paid a lot for him. Can't catch punts, makes a 2 turnovers/bad decisions that bury you in field position game for every big return. Not too worried about "missing out" on McDuffie.

Far less cocaine than his dad.

Relegated to 2nd division.

If he stays in bounds on the one run he had before his TD the Bombers have no hope of scoring that TD with or without the refs help. Needs to look in the mirror.

Look at how many tackles they missed. Stupid penalties they took.

It crosses a pretty big line towards personal, which is absurd for someone writing about sports. Like call a guy out for a fake punt, but labeling the guy "hated," saying he doesn't hold himself accountable for his work and calling him "the smirk?" Really makes you wonder what's wrong in his life.

You think the players aren't giving their all? Is that "effort" that you're talking about. O'Shea was pretty forthright in saying they were lucky and need to be better on the post-game, all the players that were on said the same. They didn't sound very happy. We've had some awful teams that sounded like they won the Super Bowl if they ever won a game, let alone a game like that one. These guys weren't too excited beyond the moment Harris dragged the ball over the plane. I can't say I've seen anything on this team to make me question effort, meaning guys putting everything they have into the game (and we've certainly experienced that). Execution is a different story.

That makes no sense. If a prevent is executed it should take so long for the offense to drive downfield that there'd be less scoring. What you're referring to is poor execution, shitty tackling.

Completely went forward after the bat. Can only do that with a kick and guys onside can recover, a dribble. Should have been dead and penalty applied from spot of fumble. Needed to be challenged.

I'd like to see him return some kicks. Seems like a waste to roster someone just for kickoffs. Could make room for Flanders. Lankford is a decent option if Dressler is out, perhaps pushes Denmark eventually if he keeps it up. Looked pretty good at receiver in preseason too.

Sounded like he was drunk. Pretty crappy way to present himself.

Got KO'd in a bar by a Bomber in the 80s IIRC, Walby stepped in to end it, heard that story a few years ago though.

The media don't represent the fans. That's ridiculous. Even then, the access the Bombers give is incredible. They are all over 1290, who isn't even a local rights holder. Players, coaches including O'Shea, Walters, Miller. Everyday there's several people from the organization giving radio interviews. Wiecek and a few others aren't good journalists. They don't ask questions. The give a narrative and want a yes or no. It's a complete joke. Study the sport, gain some knowledge and ask some intelligent questions. O'Shea has no problem answering those, nor does Maurice or anyone else. The problem is Wiecek, not the coaches. I also think you might need to go back and do some reading or listening to radio chats because O'Shea addressed exactly the issues you used as an example at the start of the week and post-game last week.
