He is getting it done HH #2: wife and I have a winning streak when we attend games. This one needed all 3 phases #forthew If we would dress another dline guy who requires attention other than WJ and Wooda "couch cough Adams" and parked a couple others for minimal reps...hi there Canadian DT's rhen wj and whoever is opposite him would feast...maybe before ayoffa we will grasp that BigBlueFanatic, wbbfan, Noeller and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the CFL execs have directed the officials to do such. If anything, maybe this is the refs way of evening things out. I would like to rename the executive's names to imitate ostriches. This is how they cope not with difficulty but with self-delusion as they maintain the status quo. These guys occupy positions of status, not a history of effectiveness and courage. So let's just say the CFL Ostriches and save ourselves a lot of bad breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how they cope not with difficulty but with self-delusion as they maintain the status quo. These guys occupy positions of status, not a history of effectiveness and courage. So let's just say the CFL Ostriches and save ourselves a lot of bad breath. Keep in mind, it is well documented that the nba and mlb have done this multiple times combined. I do not think any one would tell the refs to just not call holding etc. but I could see telling them to only call “obvious, severe” cases of it. Holding etc is one of the least enforced rule sets in the cfl, along with opi. Meanwhile illegal blocks are called at probably a 1/3 rate on kick returns. Far more than on OLs. I think the main issues are 1 incompetence, and 2 less effective/experiences refs. You see awful spots with great regularity in every game, and even the command centre struggles to get calls right on review. We’ve seen a lot of the old guard retire and the next guys up just aren’t very good. They struggle to call games moderately consistently half of half. We’ve seen the league crack down on dpi a few years ago to try to improve performance. It got to the point we had the most ticky tack Hail Mary reviews lead to changes. Plus the only reason they moved the hash marks was to try to increase scoring. The league would 100% so stuff like this with holding just for that reason.

Seems this year there are way fewer no yards penalties during punt returns. Could be my imagination, there are probably stats on the infraction, but just an observation. wbbfan and Sard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Starting Quality CND QB is MOS wet dream. He might be the only guy who would replace zach in season!!! On another note. I've said since last year I hope Tre moves on from Edm.

GCJenks Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 I'm a big fan of the Criders being Winless since Week 7. Last couple of years there last win has been around Labour Day, could you imagine (and I feel possible) they go winless the rest of the year? July 19th as final win of the season???
