What ticks me off on these challenges is that no coach would actually honestly believe that a lot of these are PI. It is great coverage that they would high five their own player for - but because of the idiotic rules the CFL has implemented they challenge to try and win the game.
They either need to not make PI challengeable or make the consequences of losing a challenge more severe.

CFL is a joke. A total joke.
I can't believe they are letting the coaches and officials ruin this game.
Do they not realize that fans are already turning away from this game, and this constant garbage isn't going to help.
F'n clue in CFL.

you should lose 1 point if you challenge wrong.

but PI is one of those things that always looks worse on slo-mo

Knee was down, that's not a touchdown.

With 4 seconds left in a tie game, why didn't the esks just kick a rouge? I don't watch enough football to know for sure, but it has to easier to go for the kick through the end zone that to hit the uprights?

Losing a time out almost has no meaning in the CFL when the clock does not run in the last 3 minutes.

Or 10 yards.
Or the rest of your time outs.
Something.

Stamps would put their own kicker in the end zone to kick it back out. 52 was makable

Just terrible officiating. Walking the Esks down the field to get them into Fg range and now this. The ref closer on that PI call didn't throw anything but the back guy 15 yards away did.

You mean punt? Or just kick the fg with tons of leg but no accuracy?

Due to how much further back the punter stands than the fg kicker and the quality of punters in the cfl, it is highly unlikely that a rouge via punt would have worked.
