2016 CFL Season Thread

Yep Kevin Glenn threw an untimely INT again late in the game vs Ottawa. As far as I know Glenn's best season is with the Stamps then he went back to being the same old Glenn again after he left the Stamps. Too bad because Nik Lewis was having a great game and if Montreal, all 4 teams could have 4 wins each.

Andrew Harris should have a field day this afternoon with where Makana Henry is lined up on the field. He's the starting nose tackle who last played football in 2009 with the Burlington Braves. I wish I was joking but I'm not.

There interior of the defense line has been a mess since December 2013 when Taman destroyed it in the expansion draft as Keith Shologan and Zach Evans were both left unprotected and taken. Tamans reason at the time would have been fine but his words later made no sense as they wanted to go with starting Internationals at that position. Last year they went back with Nationals who were really bad.

Evans has developed into a damn good football player, who is arguably the best at his postion now not named Ted Laurent with his passport. How things might be different if they still could line up Shologan and Evans, or maybe just Evans.

Holy man this secondary is attorocious

[puffnstuff]

Does Sask have different offsides rules then everyone else?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

If the punter doesn't wuss out and make a block he probably easily picks up the first down...

[Armchair Quarterback]

Haha Sask receivers are always offside. They only get caught 1/10 times though

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Loffler will be the best safety in the league in short order. What a player

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The thing about offside or not offside with receivers is the only people who can see it are the refs right on the line. Impossible to judge from TV when you can't see the line and ball move from a straight line.

[Drake]

That's a ####ing garbage call. He grabbed his jersey.

[puffnstuff]

No, you can see it on TV. Yardage markings and a pvr that pauses and goes frame by frame helps. That and being more than a yard offside makes it pretty easy. I have gone back to rewatch plays and I am not always right though, maybe only half the time.
I would honestly absolutely hate to be an official.

Sure, but this is true for every team, every game. If you want my opinion, McDaniel is "offside" more than any player in the league.

Football referee has to be the hardest in sports. Millimeters, milliseconds mean so much

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Why are they playing such a soft defence and letting Winnipeg march the field? This is stupid

[Drake]

I don't understand why Lawrence still has a job..garbage football player

[Drake]

What a stupid ####ing challenge by Jones...

Game on tied 19-19 with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Medlock has a heck of a leg - Bombers lead 22-19
