Als at BC GDT

[The Zipp]

All aboard the Faj train...Go Als Go!!

I am sensing bloodbath in favor of the Lions but would love to be wrong.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Anything is possible.

Hate that first PI. I call BS.

[The Zipp]

Vaj vs Faj in an open sunny dome.  Shadows are brutal and Vaj bailed out by a weak, weak penalty

[Lincoln Locomotive]

Anything is possible.

Well yeah...it's the CFL where strange things often and do happen...which is why I love  it

[GOLDMEMBER]

yup no kidding. Silliness plain and simple.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Als cannot hit worth a crap!

[3rdand1.5]

That was a terrible penalty...refs had to much of a hand in a 14 pt swing

[GOLDMEMBER]

Run that pig skin!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Sayles bad bad penalty lol

[GOLDMEMBER]

A La Beu


lol

[The Zipp]

Great drive by Montreal!!

[pjrocksmb]

Good game so far.  Bad call by the refs on the penalty on the pick 6.

[The Zipp]

Can Betts keep up this pace??  He is a beast so far

[pjrocksmb]

Can Betts keep up this pace??  He is a beast so far

Likely not but it won't matter, even if he slows he could end up with big numbers.

[The Zipp]

Not sure what Antwi was thinking

[dd]

What did antwi just do there and why??

[pjrocksmb]

Not sure what Antwi was thinking

Drop kick? Weird.

Well yeah...it's the CFL where strange things often and do happen...which is why I love  it

You called it, weird stuff happening

[pjrocksmb]

Cody has deja vu.  No protection again here in MTL.

[pjrocksmb]

VA has a nice touch on the ball tonight

[The Zipp]

Andre needs to call every game

[The Zipp]

Faj is moving gingerly...he takes a lot of hits

[GOLDMEMBER]

Andre needs to call every game

He has the whole rule book my mind??

Andre?.

[The Zipp]

He has the whole rule book my mind??

Andre?.

Andre Proulx - the legend - he needs to ref 2 games a week minimum. 


Is Cavillo a top tier OC ?  Not yet in my mind...

[The Zipp]

Great catch.

Mtl needed to go for it there.  But I get why they took the 3.

[The Zipp]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=XGLj4b--lXs&feature=share8

Love it..

Why didn't the ALS even try a run there?

[GOLDMEMBER]

Als need to wake up.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Love it..

Why didn't the ALS even try a run there?

No clue. You have Stanback but on the other hand they are losing pretty bad along the line.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Noice LOL

Never disappoints.

[GOLDMEMBER]

BC line cannot block without holding.

Suitor is lame at colour. He is aging ungracefully behind the mic.

[pjrocksmb]

This Shivers looks good

[The Zipp]

Another penalty against mtl on a punt return.  Almost every time...

[pjrocksmb]

VA might be banged up

[GOLDMEMBER]

VAG pops a groin?

That won?t tickle.

Als can?t play STs without a penalty. Pathetic pathetic!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Shiver reminds me of Blink in the beginning so far?

[GOLDMEMBER]

Maas Play calling is atrocious.

[3rdand1.5]

Mtrl is showing how important special teams are.

Grabbing the leg they said yes hard to say.

Has that pop

Mtrl is showing how important special teams are.

1/3 of the game

[The Zipp]

Faj and the Als are who we thought they were...somewhere between ok and mediocre...offensive game plan looked suspect. 

[GOLDMEMBER]

Faj is a poor thrower of the ball does not help either.
He panics to often.

[pjrocksmb]

That run was sick and nice punch out

[GOLDMEMBER]

Shivers got the shivers lol

[pjrocksmb]

He will learn from that

[GOLDMEMBER]

Nets is down the Suitor and Dustin are just yammering about diddly squat. Give your head a shake.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Particularly Physical game here!

Lots of key players on both sides limping around.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Dequoy has great range, he reminds me of Loffler except faster.  The Als have a lot of nice pieces in place, if they can hold this team together for another year or two they might become contenders, if they can upgrade their QB.

plus he is nearly the only one who can tackle in the open field.

[Stats Junkie]

What did antwi just do there and why??

I didn't appreciate what happened on this play live as I'm focused on data entry at BC Place.

Re-watching the game now and it appeared as though Antwi tried to punt and recover for a first down.

It was 2-16 from the M40. If the ball is kicked across the LOS and recovered, it is a first down whether or not yards were gained.

Antwi tapped the ball with his foot but it fell behind the LOS which is scored as a fumble. He just needed to kick the ball another yard or two.

Heads up play (well coached) and something that I've been waiting for years to see executed properly. Still waiting.

Does the ball have to be kicked behind the actual or original LOS? If a team started at the 40, but took 2 penalties and got backed up, so now on the 20 facing 2nd & 30, does the kick need to be behind the 20 yardline? And if the kick is behind the 20 and only travels a few yards, but gets recovered on the 25 - that would earn a 1st down?  That seems crazy.

I totally don't doubt you for a second, but if that's the actual rule...I vote it should be changed. Makes no sense.

High risk play for sure...but looking forward to seeing it done to perfection - just not against us...

[TBURGESS]

Entertaining game.
I hated the PI call on the pick 6.
BC's RB runs 60+ yards to seal the deal, but gets the ball punched out on the one.
Fajardo isn't anywhere near as bad as Bomber fans make him out to be.

If Bombers fans make him out to be bad, Riders fans are even worse!

2nd and 30 from the 20

If the ball is kicked from behind the LOS (20) and recovered at the 25 it is a 1st down.

In game at full speed, it is difficult for players to execute this type of play.

[theaardvark]

He seemed to change his mind last second, I'm guessing he sensed the presence of opposing players was too great.  Would have been a highlight reel play had he executed it.

[blue_gold_84]

If Bombers fans make him out to be bad, Riders fans are even worse!

I just enjoy watching him struggle whenever he's played the Bombers since the 2019 playoffs.

I think you're right, I vaguely remember someone executing that play 4 or 5 years ago, I can't recall if they succeeded or not.  I thought he was attempting a rugby kick downfield for his own team to recover, but in that case I think only players lined up behind him would be eligible to recover the ball.  It would be like a surprise punt to change field position.

[theaardvark]

The kicker is always "on side" so its legal for him to recover the ball untouched by the D...

[TecnoGenius]

Dequoy has great range, he reminds me of Loffler except faster.  The Als have a lot of nice pieces in place, if they can hold this team together for another year or two they might become contenders, if they can upgrade their QB.

Early goings, but Dequoy has looked good in nearly every game he's been in.  Mafia probably has their eye on on him when/if BA retires.  Probably have to line up behind every other team, though.  If BA retires and Fatboi retires, Dequoy lets us run an all-IMP DL.

We usually go for the sleeper future-stars (i.e. cheap).  But we can dream.

AFAIK the actual/current LoS is the only thing that matters, ever, for any reason.  Once the LoS has moved (back), the original LoS can be forgotten and ignored.

[theaardvark]

Any word on V Adams?  That splits he did screamed groin injury...

Didn't he come back in and finish the game?  If so, he'll be fine
