Quote from: TBURGESS on July 21, 2025, 12:45:57 AMHe lowers his head to go for the top of the chest. Brown puts his head down to protect himself, but his helmet comes off because he didn't do up the chin strap. Refs on the field say no RTP. Refs at the command centre see that Brown gets hurt and hands out 25 yards. Results oriented penalty.

IMO, Brown should get the 10 yard penalty for not doing up his chin strap.

Thanks, I figured it would be a penalty. 10 yards seams reasonable. Not sure I have seen that called. Hope they start checking to protect our players. Coaches will have a word with Brown now doubt. Weird command center didn't catch that. I noticed presnap. Not sure if both lowers were undone. One side for sure.

Ottawa loses another DL

Cats OL looks hurt bad

the amount of injuries they had may save him but a loss tonight and sitting at 1-6 doesn't bode well for him.

Moxie hurt for Cats, starting corner

Leggs money 28 in row, pretty nice run for a guy that many on here completely wrote off

Moxie back

Fox starting for Cats on DL

Quote from: Blueforlife on July 21, 2025, 12:21:59 AMI agree about the penalty, never said it wasn't one. I liked the post J5V as it happened. It was called 25 yards.

I am bringing up a player safety issue and believe the league should ensure helmets are secure. I don't want head shots but I also don't want players hurt because of simple equipment issues. Browns helmet came off too easy there because of chin strap issue. I was curious if anyone else had info about helmet related issues (straps).

You are going off on me for no reason.

Not sure how the league treats these in terms of elections. Close call there.

I don't think that the chin strap would have helped on that hit. In fact it might have made the hit more significant with the head forced back as a result. I don't know what it takes to get a player ejected. Brown may miss several games after that.

Disagree the helmet when properly secured is designed to provide max protection

That flee flicker was ugly!

Quote from: J5V on July 20, 2025, 11:47:37 PMYeah, that's weird. I guess they don't want the coaches winning a half dozen challenges each per game making the officials look incompetent.

Ya, and you don't want them to have so many challenges that they feel the need to go Dave Dickenson Fishing in the last 5 mins just because they can.

If the officials make more than 2 egregious mistakes per team per game then there's bigger problems anyhow!

Quote from: gobombersgo on July 20, 2025, 11:26:32 PMWhy would Ottawa challenge to gain 10 yards?

Dyce loves blowing his challenge in the first half! Always has. Usually loses.

I'm shocked they gave OTT that overturn. Since the 2024 memo, that uncalled-DPI challenge usually always fails. Per last year's "rules" I'm shocked they overturned this one. Pretty bang-bang. They let those slide in the last couple of games this week. But they did give another team one a couple of weeks ago, which was also shocking.

I think they are being biased by giving garbage teams who are going to lose bad these overturns where good teams would not get them.

Quote from: markf on July 21, 2025, 12:13:56 AMWhy can't the cfl figure this out? They need to stop that kind of thing.

They have terms spelled out in the rules now, like ram, butt, spear. That hit was made way worse by the D guy lifting his head up during the hit. If he tucks his head further down he won't even hit Dru's head!

It was an old school hit, and the D guy should know better. However, he did succeed in "taking out" a good QB, and for most D's that's worth a 25 yarder. I wonder if the team gets together to chip in to pay the dude's upcoming fine...

Quote from: markf on July 21, 2025, 12:37:31 AMHe got a very long ovation in the Peg. Seemed to be meaningful for him.

For those who weren't there, the ovation was unlike anything I've ever seen. First, everyone went to their feet instantly. No hesitation.

Second, around the time the clapping/noise would start dying down, all of a sudden it jacked back up. Even more than at the start! It did that again and maybe even another time after that.

The only reason it stopped is the announcers segued into the anthem announcement. I'm pretty sure the Milt love would have gone on for a whole extra minute had they waited.

You're always welcome in WPG Milt.

The refs on field (Major?) immediately threw the flag, the moment the hit happened. It's the ref behind and to the right of Dru. The only thing command was doing was deciding if it was a 25Y and/or ejection.

P.S. As I look at it again I think the dude gets a 1 game suspension. League has been doing more than just fines for such hits.
