Quote from: TecnoGenius on August 16, 2025, 03:57:32 AMHow do you overturn that when there was zero camera proof of what that left hand was doing??

Zero cameras on that side.

This is a bizarre command call based on their new 2024 standards of "clear and obvious" to overturn.

The cameras couldn't see the PI. The only one who was in position was the ref who threw the flag, lol.
My wife is amazing!

Quote from: Jesse on August 16, 2025, 03:58:14 AMI wonder who Dinwiddie will throw under the bus tonight.

Isn't Dinwiddie the OC?  He should throw himself under there.  Just horrific play calling.  And useless "2 min drill".

Put Grant in and throw a deep post in the EZ.

Does command even ask the ref who was standing literally right there staring at that left hand?

Remember the completely bogus DPI on Ford vs SSK last season, and the likewise non-DPI on Demski vs TOR?  Weren't both challenged, both field calls were 100% wrong, and command upholds both?

What the heck is command doing this season?  It's like they've once again completely changed the 2024 standard ("clear and obvious" = "overturn nothing") into "we'll overturn a lot more now".  And they have been overturning many things that would stand last season.

I would expect the quality of officiating this weekend to be subpar. There are 2 full crews of officials in the US this weekend attending NFL training camps as part of the officiating development program.

Re: the UR penalty on Herslow
When Herslow attempted to hurdle the Elks player he led with his foot out (cleats first) and it appeared to make contact with an Elks player. This is just an educated guess on my behalf. If true, it is a reasonable penalty as it is a dangerous act.

If that's it, then that would make hurdling too risky to ever attempt, no?  That would mean all team B needs to do to get a UR on every hurdle is to get a body part (arm enough?) up in the path of the hurdler.

You could only hurdle AFTER you saw the DB going low on you.  You couldn't anticipate ahead of time.

Also, this would be the first time I've ever seen this (in a decade of watching).

Nothing on the TOR site yet.

Funny thing is he contacted the kicker returning the ball!  :D

Still no post-game on Argos or CFL site.  Why isn't there a central place for these things?  They are so hard to find and teams often hide them away, never post them, or only post them until the next morning!!

I'll hand it to WPG, we suck on the web site with depth charts, but we are great at getting post-games up quickly.

SC just showed a bit of the Dinwiddie post-game and he seems strangely calm.  No Full Kavis.  A big letdown!  I wanted blown Kenwood headsets, physical beatings of players, and spittle-filled Kavis rants.

Riderfans think they caught a Suits S-bomb.  At 2h40m19s as they go to commercial he says on hot mic "totally sh...".  So maybe, maybe not.  Not sure what other words he could be saying?  "Totally shocking play"?  Who knows.

P.S. Better get Dinwiddie Maas's Kenwood headset repairman on speed dial after this game
