GAME 1: Grey Cup Rematch - Hamilton at CALGARY

[Resolute 14]

The offensive line needs to be a lot better. Bo Levi wasn't outstanding overall, but the pocket collapsed almost at will for Hamilton. Especially in the second half. That said, they all held up when we needed it most.

I still can't believe that was ruled a stuff, his waist was even on the line! There were so many bodies that whatever the original call was would stand. Unfortunately, they ruled it idiotically.

So impressed with Fuller, if he can stay healthy he's a sure all-pro. I was surprised how poor Rogers looked, he was every bit as effective as Fuller last year after he went down. For now I'll chalk it up to early season rust; the drawback to only 2 preseason games.

Fun game overall, that ending was insane. El Matador!

I saw no angle where only 3/4 of Tate's body wasn't over the line....unless he had the ball pinned to his butt with one hand behind him, that ball was easily over the line. And I am guessing because they couldn't see the ball from any angle that TSN showed (as would be the case, the ball is usually under a pile or under a set of arms at least), they said no conclusive evidence, and didn't go based on common sense that no part of Tate's body that could've had the ball, wasn't over the line.

Then a pretty questionable PI call on the next/first HAM play to get them 10+ yards of relief from their goal line....and then very questionable/tacked on objectionable conduct call after the play after the last catch, to push Parades back 10 yards.

Good on him...must have worked on his leg strength, as a couple years ago, that would've been very near the end of his range. Didn't at some point they used to bring Maver in (yes, even after he tried to show off in preseason and pulled his hamstring to kick long ones)?

my personal favourite ref cal of the game was when the stamps d man grabbed Collaros by the lower back of his shirt and got 15 yards for a horse collar... these refs are a disgrace.
