The good, the bad, and the ugly.

[bomb squad]

There was a missed Illegal Participation penalty on the Jamieson Sheahan punt single. McAllister stepped out of bounds at the Calgary 2 yard line before recovering the ball in the end zone.



Reminder that the penalty for Illegal Participation in this manner is the Loss of Ball (LB) at the Point of Foul (PF)



As the penalty was triggered when McAllister recovered the punted ball in the end zone, we need to look to another portion of the Rule Book to determine what happens when Team B (Calgary) commits a penalty in its own goal area.



Illegal Participation triggered in goal area of Team B. Option to decline the score and apply the penalty, LB at PF, from the 15 yard line.

It should have been 1st & 10 Winnipeg at the C15. Instead Winnipeg scored a point and it was 1st & 10 Calgary at the C40. BTW, Calgary scored a TD on that drive.

2 items here( with lot's of questions I'm afraid):

1. If the ball is loose (which I agree it is) and McCallister then touched it, thus illegally participating in the play, isn't it just Loss of Ball at the Point of Foul, per Article 8? Why would the other rules even apply? A foul can only apply to one rule, correct? Illegal Participation is the foul.  Are you saying Article 8 is superseded by Section 6-1c? Why?

2. If the Point of Foul happened when and where he touched the ball, isn't it then Bomber touchdown, since it happened in the end zone?

Because the Section 6 qualifies how many/most/all other fouls get special treatment in the rarer case of when they occur in-goal.

2. If the Point of Foul happened when and where he touched the ball, isn't it then Bomber touchdown, since it happened in the end zone?

No, because of the previous answer.  I think you already sussed this out.  Pretty sure there's no foul that can result in a "free TD".  Putting it on the 15 is the next best thing!  Kind of like a DPI in the EZ isn't a free TD either.

We don't run the ball every play. Having the extra import receiver is only a choice in how we deal with the Woodbey injury and no direct replacement.

Said another way, we can't do Singer or another IMP REC with the ratio the way it is with Elsbury IMP at C.  Can't see it happening, unless some matchups allow for Eli to start.

This is insane.  Insane that:

a) This is near-identical to what you spotted in PS, and

b) How did the refs miss this?, and

c) How did command miss this?, and

d) How did MOS miss this, especially given point (a)!

Once again, SJ, good catch.

Demski was limping pretty good after the missed catch. Didn't see him do anything after that.

He was on-field for most of the rest of the game.  I think he did a couple of touches after that.  Seemed fine.

Was Condell the "heavy set" coach in Hamilton?

Might be a return of a version of that.....which was really effective as I recall.

You bet.  We got a fair bit of jumbo this game.  But since we aren't dressing 2 extra OL, the jumbo was combos of Eli / Daniels / Ike.

My definition of Condell's super-max-pro is on pass plays, though.  I'll have to go back to see how often we did that.  Seemed to using the extra jumbo on running downs this game.

7, 8, 9 super-max-pass-pro in 2019 HAM just couldn't be beat in-season.  If you can, watch some of those.  Then they didn't use it in GC and we hosed them.  I'd like to see a form of that here a couple/few times a game.  Eli/Daniels/Ike gets us 8 blockers.  Brady staying in makes 9.  Pokey out left side, White out right.

[Tecno]

Surprised with how much playing time Daniels received, he was out there every series and may have played more snaps than MCI, Corcoran and Cobb.  Looks like he's going to be a huge part of the offensive game plan, stoked to see the TE position make a comeback, the last one I can recall was Brian Jack.

He's this year's seal.  But with the correct FB/TE passport this time!!

[Tecno]

Seemed well reffed. Although on a pi called on the bombers I thought the Calgary receiver pushed the db.

It was a classic "mugging".  The same thing Sayles used to get caught out on in '18.  Often it's the REC purposely trying to hit the DB, but the DB needs to get out of the way.  Doesn't seem fair, but it's clear CFL precedent.

The mugging has to be super blatant before the CFL will penalize the REC.  And even then...!

Perkins reminded me of good Dan Lefebvre

Anyone mentioning The Feve gets 10 updoots from me!  If Perkins can be half of what Feve was I'll be one happy SY fan.  I just worry about all the dancing/delay...

Id like to see Fletcher added to the dline. we need a bigger body to go in to spell off dt, Jenkins is too light. Looking tat the pr why do we have 4 wrs ? (and no import lbs)

And not using the RR properly either.  Isn't this a way to get +2 to the total roster??  Sure, it's on the SMS, but who can argue with +2 to total roster?!  We always say CFL roster sizes need to be bigger!

I think league needs to clarify that RR is not optional.  Every team must have 2 on RR.  If you don't like it, park an ELC there.
