    I hate the ones where it's a completely incidental graze to make a guy down.  Defender should have to be making an effort to tag the guy down or tackle him.

    Err on the side of the big play.

    As Ford pointed out, the defender glanced the helmet with his hand “before” the catch was made. But they got a TD almost immediately after. So…

    Starting in 2023, the league began using "chipped" balls to collect telementry and metric information.

    Begginning in 2023, with the introduction of chipped balls, players have been informed that they cannot throw footballs in the stands in celebration, nor keep them as souveniers. The result of either would be a $500 fine. Balls that end up in the stands as the result of in-play action will be retrieved from fans, and perhaps swapped for a non-game ball.

    From CFL.DB.  I'd say that all game balls are chipped, not just the kicking balls.

    BTW: As long as both teams have to play with chipped balls for kicking or throwing, then both team have the same equipment and it's equal. 

    I have heard of no move to change the yard markers to metric. Ambrosie should have his head examined.

    He was out of the pocket and down field, wouldn’t be rtp, he wasn’t a passer any more. 
     

    Any you cut it, that was a soft marginal at best call in a game with some pretty bad missed calls. Or in other words, “forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.” Wouldn’t be a cfl game with out a horrible inconsistency in penalty enforcement. 

    It seems there is less controversy in a missed call, (except Zach getting whacked in the head) than there is for a shitty at best marginal call. Watching the NFL seems like way more tolerance for marginal actions than shown by some winded Fat Pig CFL official.

    I mean on the replay his hand came down across the face mask so technically correct.... but soft as baby **** none the less. That dirt bag ankle roll was bad though, karma took care of that at least.

    Not lot of penalties called but several were bad timing. That face mask call, looked made up by the ref but I haven’t seen the replay. I think the rule says, “grasping the face mask”. Rule 7;art 4 e). https://cfldb.ca/rulebook/fouls-and-penalties/major-fouls/  It was quick and I doubted there was a legit grasp. It almost seemed that because it was a decent hit, the ref threw the flag and decided later what to call it. The penalty gave the visitors some momentum.
