I give O’Shea some credit where credit is due. Instead of plugging Wallace or Eli in because they have some game day experience they went with the un known guy with tremendous upside. If we can critique O’shaa for being loyal to vets in ok giving him some praise for a good roster decision.

The CFL is broken. That's PI but the one on Demski wasn't? Unbelievable.

The CFL wonders why they’re losing viewership, look no further than your own officials and command center.

I thought Kendall Randolph was better... but Keith played OK too...

Both teams and refs should just leave the field out of embarrassment.

That wasn't pass interference when we played Toronto.

Bob Cameron? What’s so tough about that?

In addition to calling PI on Ford's non-touch the week before, how easily Rider fans forget when it doesn't fit their narrative.

I hope Ottawa kicks Saskatchewan's butt. F the Riders.

That was an amazing race by all 4 of those guys.

On the RTP play, the officials needed to quckly announce that the play was under automatic review due to the turnover. They shouldnt have waited 40 seconds. That would have lessoned some of the frustration as some fans just think the Command Centre was arbitrarily getting involved.

The cc shouldn’t be able to review what ever it wants. Turn overs, scores, qb/p/k hits, should all be reviewed, but with out stopping the game. Have 2 officials in separate areas review the play independently. Each one grades the play with out knowing the call on the field. Combined with the call on the field the majority rules. Cap the time for reviews at say 2 minutes in the final 3, or 1 minute other wise. Senior director of reffing answers questions after each week on calls, with the integrity of the game as most important. Not protecting refs. In the mlb you can see how accurate refs are with the strike zone, ump grading hasn’t hurt the umps. If any thing the top tier have been shown to be extraordinary at their job.

What an embarrassing game. I vote we abolish reviews. No exceptions. 100% serious.

Mace better resign...anything less would be meaningless.

The correct answer is PI is what the Command Center decides it is each game with who they want to win the game being a huge factor.

What is the right call anymore? If PI was the right call on that play then the interception on Demski 2 weeks back was triple PI.

Yes, I think it was during the Banjo Bowl? I remember O'Shea after the game saying that it was on the player to ensure they don't hit the QB and that they were responsible for their own bodies after Jake's penalty.

This was the point I was trying to make with Corey mace's comments that the loss to the Elks "was on him". Nothing happens. It's all words. Does anyone think the CFL will punishb anyone from the CC? It'll never happen. It's great to say that you're accountable when you're not.

With the officiating being this incompetent coaches should be given an extra challenge and should be allowed to continue challenging so long as the calls are overturned. Why punish a team when all they're doing is highlighting your incompete....oh, yeah. Artificial intelligence? I'd settle for some good ol fashioned normal intelligence. As I've shared before. It could have been written with CFL officiating in mind. "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." - Thomas Sowell.

CC and the refs need to be full time employees who are held accountable for their performances. The lack of consistency in rule enforcement, and challenges is as bad as it’s ever been in the cfl. Changes need to be made this year.

Heard Weitz was shortlisted for the John Smith award which goes to one of the top 500 linebackers in Western Europe.

Every game seems to have a “command center moment” where the league decides to intervene and have an impact on the game.

Exactly. Looked like the DB knocked down the ball first then contacted the WR.

con: ugh probable roughrider win. pro: at least this ass game won't get OT.

I see you're still in fine form. Do you like any doughnuts at all?

For those not watching. It’s been flag, flag, flag, turn over, flag, flag, turn over, flag, first down, turn over, flag, turn over.

Wrong forum

I think we’re basically agreeing. I don’t think Eli has shown much either yet. And, I said if he clearly had in practices, meetings, pretty sure the other coaches would be lobbying harder for him. I don’t think Kolo is a great center. Below average. So why not try Eli based in part to his pedigree - Remington trophy consideration - over Kolo?

And when Genius does do something for the fans such as their enhanced broadcasts you need to pay for the extra service. We were all promised great things when Genious came on board however they have done nothing to improve my CFL experience. The gamezone at CFL.ca is noticeably worse. They sould make the TSN enhanced broadcasts free for everyone or at the very least all season ticket holders shud have free access.

Tre Ford

I like Dante Mastrogiuseppe who we had in pre-season. With all these teams using global punters there's gotta be a supply a decent Canadian punters out there. Would Bob Cameron even have made the CFL during these times?

It's impressive what some of those people can do, but I've always questioned judged sports in the Olympics, so adding more of them is really questionable to me.

Good luck to you, Cam. Your screen name is the same as my favorite upgrade to a V-Twin motor. And good luck to you as well, Atomic. Your screen name is my favorite Blondie tune.

Watching "breaking". I think the Olympics have jumped the shark.

Exactly what I was thinking. How does the command center call that one PI and let the Demski one go? Zero consistency.

When everyone thought the game was over after the turnover, a bunch of fans jumped onto the field. I believe that it was one of those fans who was over talking to some of the Ottawa players, and Dyce didn't like what he was hearing, so he got into it with the fan. Not sure if it was an Ottawa or Sask fan, but it looked like some random dude who had no right to be on the field. As for the reviews and such, I'm surprised that Crum wasn't pulled from the game by the injury spotter on the OT TD run, because he took a shot to the head and looked a little wobbly getting up after he scored. I thought the player who hit him led with his helmet and should have been penalized as well. For the last automatic review, it was a turnover which are always under automatic review by the command centre, we just don't always hear about it because some of them are reviewed faster than others, and there is usually a commercial break after a turnover, so we don't notice it. In this case, we did because of the timing and it seeming like the game was over. I think the PI call could have gone either way. Someone on the TSN panel made the comment that if you have to use slow motion to determine if it was PI or not, then it likely shouldn't be called, and I kindof agree with that. I would also say though that if that was PI, then the one that didn't get called in the Bomber game definitely should have been because the guy was all over Demski long before the ball go there.

Tyson Philpot for me

The Refs on the field missed both calls. The CC got both calls right. That's what they are their for. To fix obvious mistakes.

Guessing it has something to do with targeting QB's below the knee.

Patterson did that

Crum is hit in the head twice and they missed it?

What an offensive explosion at the end of the half

Quite the **** show tonite. Enough mistakes for a season in this game.

Let it bounce. This is quite the comedy of errors already.

Tried to let it bounce into the endzone

Hate to see such an entertaining player go down.

That should be an ejection.

The enemy (Ottawa) of my enemy (Riders) is my Friend! Go Ottawa kick those Greenies butts!
