Go Brown Go
Nice two-and-out!
All d so far
Matty sure likes the silky smooth thing tonight lol
Great stop by the RB D on 2 and short
No French from this ref today? Wth
Dickie will win that challenge. Poor throw Brown.
Redblacks not looking sharp so far.
Great job Drew on the rebound.
Marching....
Stamp D Looks puzzled at the moment.
TOUCHDOWN D'Ottawa
Like the creativity of the Redblacks offensive scheme. Very nice!
Nice drive
On a rope
Logan does a nice job.
so far drew looks more like his games as a Bomber.
took a few games but he's getting more relaxed.
That was a weak PI call.
Ottawa looks to be much improved this year. D is doing a job on Maier so far.
Quote from: J5V on July 27, 2024, 12:11:57 AMThat was a weak PI call.
refs as a group, seem to have decided to call that penalty more this season.
Cgy OL hurt
Crazy recovery
Brown looks awesome early.
Brown lucky ducky
Geez wiz Dunnigan needs to mix it up a bit. It feels like every play he says the same thing.
Quote from: Blueforlife on July 27, 2024, 12:21:53 AMBrown lucky ducky
He does throw his share of ugly looking balls.
Big blow for Ott
Armstead has to be smarter than that.
Kinda ticky tack on the second misconduct to me.

Agree but if you already have one misconduct you're just asking for it.

Can't do that 9/10 times
Pimpleton is a quick, shifty guy. A little rough around the edges but definitely has some nice skills.
Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on July 27, 2024, 12:25:52 AMKinda ticky tack on the second misconduct to me.
Not really. You can't chase down a defensive guy across the field then drill him from behind. Stupid play on the RB players part. You have plenty of chances in a game to even scores, now you're out and your team is in a bind
Well bad Jake is playing tonight. Last week he looked unreal, this week it's tough to watch him!!
Dunigan calling a good game imo
On a rope
Nice coverage
Quote from: dd on July 27, 2024, 12:38:05 AMWell bad Jake is playing tonight. Last week he looked unreal, this week it's tough to watch him!!
Indeed the guy is THE most hit and miss in the whole league. He looks like a plumber at QB tonight. No offence to the plumbers out there.
Maier .... 27 yds passing.
how can that clear out of bounds hit be ignored?
just ridiculous.
These teams are punishing Ewacha othe.
The way cgy is going points here might mean game over
Brown just shredding this CGY secondary.
Brown hands it off to Hardy lol
Not quite the same but Drew Willy to Ryan Smith no look catch years ago. That play still cracks me up! LMAO
How on earth did the Stamps beat BC last week?? How?? They are gawd awful tonight
Did I hear right?? 2 net yards of offense in the 2nd quarter!?! That's bad!!
too many red zone chokes by redblacks
***** reads- Brown LOL
Dru Brown 20-25 for 250 yds in first half of football. That's more than Collaros gets in a game. We definitely kept the wrong guy

Zach has forgotten more than Brown knows about CFL football. Zach has had many amazing games in this league. He just needs to work his way out of this funk he's in.

Sorry, ones trending upward, the other is trending downward. Who cares what he knows if he can't execute. This 'funk' you speak of is old age, you can't play forever
Addison doing a good job filling in for Armstead.
Wow! Lord Pimpleton!
Game over
Who is this pimpleton kid!!
The stampeders should be embarrassed with their performance or lack thereof tonight. I still can't believe they beat the lions last week. What the heck!?!
Maier is not playing great but ottawa D is ferocious tonight.
calgary o line is getting killed.
ottawa has good fans, so nice for them they deserve this.

Yup, I saw that too. Wow, officials in this league suck.
it Sure is enjoyable watching Dickensen's sour face.
I never get tired of that.
Dickie gets slaughtered. Never not a good time.
Ha ha! Philpot with the alligator arms there!
Ha ha! Philpot again with the alligator arms!
What a beatdown by Ottawa. Thank you, Redblacks.
Stamps are a bunch of chumps.
It's hard to believe that we are chasing the stampeders in the standings!!! That was the worst performance I have ever saw. Man the elks and the tabbies don't ever look this bad, we don't look this bad!! Man that was a stinker.
Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on July 26, 2024, 11:50:26 PMNo French from this ref today? Wth
Only French in MTL. Major probably relieved he doesn't have to use that part of his brain tonight.

Maier just doesn't seem to have the kind of persona that other players rally behind. Brown OTOH seems to have the whole team behind him.
Quote from: Blueforlife on July 27, 2024, 12:24:33 AMBig blow for Ott

Woooooooooow! That is crrrrraaaaaazzzzzzzy. double-misconduct
ejections are super rare. Maybe 1 since the rule was instituted (last year?).
To boot out the ONLY dressed RB for OTT... that's huge. Think back to the punch AH33 did on someone a few seasons ago -- and they didn't DQ him because it just wouldn't fly @IGF.
I'm only at this point in watching the game so far, but this could mean the difference between OTT winning (they were looking like the better team to this point) and losing, which'll suck for me as I pickem'd OTT.
IMHO Armstead deserved it, that shove will be a misconduct (OC not UR) every day of the week. Refs can't consider the importance of the player when calling a OC. That is has such a huge impact... well, maybe OTT should dress a backup NAT RB!
Dickenson The Greater must have been giggling with glee on that one. I can just imagine his barely contained bubbling excitement.
Pimpleton really reminds me of Lucky (Whitehead). Super fast but very questionable hands. The tough hands-catches he is less than 50/50 on. Give it to him in the bucket. Dru will have to learn to deal with it the same way Zach will once Lucky slots in.
If coaches/QBs ignore the limitation, it'll cost them wasted passes.

You know what extra online feature I'd pay money for? A camera dedicated to showing Dickenson The Greater's face on the sidelines all game long. I really wanted to see the look on his face during that Pimpleton return. :D :D :D
Oh ya, mic too! His whining is unequaled.
Quote from: J5V on July 27, 2024, 01:24:43 AMMaybe BC isn't that good.
You beat BC with your brain, not your brawn. As we saw in the '23 WDF and the CGY/BC game, your DC has to out-plan and out-think BC. You stop VAJ's mid and deep ball and he just loses his cool and can't recover. It's not all VAJ, either: it's also incumbent upon BC's OC.
In sum: BC never has "plan B".

Thanks Junkie! Just to check: are we talking ejections period or double-misconduct ejections?
If the latter, I guess I didn't take much note because maybe it was a nobody being ejected instead of the team's only dressed RB!
One would think, as a player, if you've taken 1 misconduct you'd walk on eggshells and play extra-super-clean the rest of the game!! Surely it's also on the coaching staff to keep reminding the guy to tone it down? If the guy is a key player he should be reminded
constantly.
The whole game looked dark. This isn't the first time, either. I think others complained in the last @OTT game? It's like the OTT stadium isn't properly lit. Shouldn't there be some standard they have to live up to?
Yes I thought so also. Ok saved me a trip to the eye Doctor! Lol?!

I always thought their field is an especially dark green, the TD logo at center is the color of most fields.
The TD logo. All the other colors seem ok, so I don't think it is a lighting issue.
Compared to BC. lighting seems similar but field color, not.
Watching the replay it's definitely a lighting issue, just look at the shadows on the field, even shots into the stands, definitely lighting is substandard
Quote from: TecnoGenius on July 27, 2024, 08:55:35 AMThanks Junkie! Just to check: are we talking ejections period or double-misconduct ejections?
Yes, these all were situations where a player received his 2nd misconduct foul of the game.
Huge
* to Nyles Morgan (2023) who in addition to receiving his 2nd misconduct foul, he also received a penalty for rough play - disqualification on the same play. I suppose he was tossed from the game twice on that play.
Other quirks:
Derrick Moncrief (2022) received 2 misconduct fouls on the same play giving him a total of 3 on the day.
Sione Teuhema (2023) also received 2 misconduct fouls on the same play. Teuhema is the only player to be ejected twice in the same season for accumulating 2 misconduct penalties.
Comparing 1st quarter with the sun still up, to the 4th. I have to agree that lighting is an issue in Ottawa.
For sure. Just look at the shadows during the telecast. It's like they're using 60W bulbs to light 5e stadium!!

Ya, shadows everywhere. Players' unis are dark. CGY colors are completely off. Often can't make stuff out on my computer PVR slow-mos.
Riderfans forum saying the same thing. Something wrong with OTT lighting for many weeks now (all season?) and people have been complaining. CFL should set a candle-power requirement measured from the C and both goal lines, and measure it every game, would take a one-time equipment cost of $500 and about 5 mins for some official to measure. Teams with substandard lighting pay a fine, which doubles every week it's not fixed.
