Wow first play of game Nyles Morgan clubs Ticat receiver right in the head/neck knocking him out.  No flag.

How is a clothesline not a penalty, vicious shot ambulance already on the field

[Booch]

Yikes...that was ugly...hope he ok

Should be auto review since it's a turnover.

Couldn't be more of an intentional shot.

Ya that’s got to be a penalty all day long. Horrible hit those high tackles need to be dealt with

That's a hit that can kill someone.  A lot of force into the neck.

[Rich]

That is a brutal hit. 
 

 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Insane that there's no penalty applied for that hit.  And will likely lead directly to points for Edmonton.

A tale of two positions do that to a qb and he gets penalized and maybe even ejected, but receivers are fair game

They aren't though.  The rules are extremely clear on Unnecessary Roughness.

QB has at least two refs watching him at all times.

Either way, that's a hit that should easily be a flag and likely a misconduct foul as well.

You let those hits slide and why should anyone care about taking that risk swinging at guys like that?  I know he's thinking that the ball is there but you can't be that reckless.

[17to85]

Yeah that crap has no place in the game. You come in like that it's because you're just trying to hurt someone.

[Atomic]

Slide idiot

[bustamente]

Powell gets cranked by a hit to the head

[JuranBoldenRules]

45 with a spear right on Powell's facemask.

Time to eject.

How Morgan can pull those hits and not get a single flag is just absolute insanity.

If I'm seriously injured and they can't even throw a flag I'd be suing the league.  There's rules around contact in this sport in the interests of player safety.  If they don't apply them they are liable.

Isn't that the same guy who clotheslined Luther Hakunavanhu and sent him to the hospital?

[bustamente]

Gets tackled by his own player gets up and keeps running

[GCJenks]

How is Morgan still in this game? Sure hope the league takes action and we don’t see him next Friday.

It was a violent hit but it was more blindsided than clothesline imo...

[IC Khari]

Bo's back in, time to change the thread title

Both hits were intentionally  high and those will cause violent injuries. Should be extreme penalties and ejections

Completely illegal though.  Can't arm tackle above shoulders, can't hit head or neck.

That single hit covered a quarter of UR clauses.

Then spears a QB in facemask.

These things tend to snowball if rules aren't enforced.

[Atomic]

Man the Ticats are by far the worst team in the league. Crazy that their answer is to bench Bo Levi. They have problems everywhere on the roster.

[JuranBoldenRules]

That Edmonton owner is 64 going on 85.  Looks old as hell.

I was JUST thinking that... I was not expecting a really old man.
