CFL (Non-Bombers) 2026 season news

[Pigskin]

Anyone want to bet on when Lemon gets into the lineup? 

Blindside blocks get fined when they are egregious and intentional.  Neild's was borderline at best, yes he was going towards his own line, but he was in full view of the blocked player.

Yes, I agree. That was a very weak call.

Neild's was borderline at best, yes he was going towards his own line, but he was in full view of the blocked player.

Look again, that player had no idea a hit was coming.  That's why it's called "blindside".

The rule book says it has to be "forceful".  Nield's hit was.  If the dude gets knocked back or off his feet, that's forceful.  He would have to have gotten more in front of the guy and just gotten in the way.  That's perfectly legal.

Yes, sometimes what he did goes unflagged.  But in general that's a flag in the CFL nowadays.

Now that's how to give folks information. Others take note. It doesn't take a wall of text.
