Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Toronto., July 26, 2025

Oh, and in no way is this about players in general (not just hoggies) blocking downfield before the pass.  I'm not betting about that!

You are saying there is the "hoggie illegally downfield" thing that they call in the NFL all the time.

There are rules that NO ONE can block downfield before the pass EXCPET on behind-LoS passes.  That's called fairly often in CFL.  It's "Illegal Interference - Blocking Downfield", but it is not unique to hoggies -- it applies to EVERYONE.

An offensive lineman cannot be downfield in the CFL on a forward pass, period.  They can on a screen pass, they can on a run play, but can't be on a forward pass which were the 2 plays I've been speaking about and you've been debating on.

Person is fine. Still in.

Laughing at a players injury is disrespectful and has no place on here

[TecnoGenius]

Laughing at a person's serious injury is as disrespectful as it gets

No one is laughing.  We all feel bad for Case.

We're just saying that this solves the "dilemma" of whether to start Mitchell over Case.  The choice has been made for us.

He literally posted a lol after stating he was injured

Yes yes he was

I can believe you were not

What a fitting way to end this disaster, Olivera fumbles. We are a very bad football team right now

I have never been so glad a game was over. What a stinking mess!!

Sigh. You're going to have a long season, PJ.

How do they fix this?

To even look like a CFL team?

Too many leaks? 

[Blueforlife]

Back to the drawing board that was really bad!

[TecnoGenius]

I'll be calling Monday night and asking the coach.  Or I'll just talk to other officials such as myself and get the rule number for him.

You can download the whole thing or run word/phrase searches online.  I'm looking right at the book, looking for all your keywords, and it's literally not a thing.  I've never seen that NFL penalty be called in the CFL in the last 10 years.  Never.

Now, it MAY be in the book, under different words, in which case I'll owe you $100.  But I seriously doubt it, because there's very little in the CFL rulebook I haven't come across yet.

Remember, I read the rule book for fun.

Yes yes he was

I can believe you were not

I wasn't. But even if I was, I can if I want. You certainly aren't going to stop me.

You said the same in the preseason just because we don't agree doesn't mean anything to me

[Blueforlife]

I wasn't. But even if I was, I can if I want. You certainly aren't going to stop me.

I don't believe in disrespectful posts about anyone in this league
Happy you were not laughing at him

[TecnoGenius]

Rule 6, section 4, article 9, written in plain black and white as jdrattops said. You armchair officials make me laugh and there's a few of you

You're not following along.  jdra says this is a hoggie-only rule.

We are not talking about the frequently-called penalty you cite above.  Everyone knows that penalty.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I don't believe in disrespectful posts about anyone in this league

We know. Nobody cares.

I resisted the Person pun longer than you did...
