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.

I'm surprised that they don't have more people working in the booth with the camera angles in which they can call down for flags to be thrown.   I know time is extremely short to make decisions but I do notice several times a game where this could of helped make a big impact on the outcome. 

It's the same refs.  That's where the CFL refs come from.
In the past two seasons they've fast tracked a bunch of refs.  I see guys/women who were working WHSFL games I was coaching last year working the lines in the CFL.  Many of these people haven't even officiated football for 5 years at any level.
They weren't good amateur refs.  One particular rookie official I see in the CFL this year could never understand that we had 7 guys on the line if the guy covering the tackle on his side of the field wasn't a wideout, if we used a tight end or had a bunch formation he'd constantly **** it up and call us for No End....even when the guy on the line CHECKED IN WITH HIM!  I see a lot of missed offsides, early movement in the CFL this year.  That's where they have stationed the rookie refs, side judge, line judge.  They've kept the vet officials at back judge, head linesman, umpire.
There's a massive shortage of officials.
One thing they really need to do is clarify the role of the replay official.  If they want to review every play and buzz down if necessary, do that.  But why are there some plays where they are buzzing down with a flag to throw and then nothing on other plays with obvious offsides for example?

Anyone have an ideas on how to improve reffing?
it is approaching dreadful.
I have watched a few Canadian college games, reffing seemed better than what the CFL has right now.
It has been getting worse, yet no indication that I have seen that the league can or will do something. or even thinks there is a problem.
when players have to take a chance on making a remark, things are bad.
the review booth seems to be wonky. 
and Do these  refs ever face some consequence for messing things up?  do they ever have to explain or sdmit an error?
I also think the idea that refs cant be publicly criticised is absurd. every other person in every job, in this world can be criticized. but not refs. stupid.
sick of it.

Little behind...watching on PVR...
Through 1 quarter and not a word from Dustin and Suitor about the beat down on BC. After the bomb by Kelly would have been the ideal time to toss in, "If you like long bombs you would have loved the Bombers/BC game last night"...but, nope.
If BC had laid the hurt on us they wouldn't have shut up about it tonight

I don't care for the mandatory bye-week for all teams. The CFL can't afford to lose momentum and taking a week off in the middle of the season would do just that. 

May long is when we would open our pool and plant our garden.  Significantly warmer then November.     
 

Not if you are used to wearing a bikini in Winnipeg's February heat waves... but seriously the 3rd and 4th week of May in no way compares to November cold; some people start planting their gardens on the May long weekend

Just said on SC BLM suffered a lower leg fracture. Smfh...what a brain dead call.

I once saw Angela Lansbury scissor...errm...actually...nevermind.

That’s a catch. Lawler too.

Somebody at TSN needs to tell Kate she is not funny nor entertaining ask the panel members what they saw in the game and leave the comedy to comedians. 

Might be time to have ZC roll out more often if the line can't handle the Elks pressure

Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged wimmin'

Speak softly and carry a big stick

I don't give a spit about who Lawler replaces, if this comes to pass. We need to fix the goddam o-line or everything goes for poop. I did not like Buck's playcalling for most of the second half, but if Collaros keeps getting sacked, not only will we lose the next game but also his services for the rest of the season. If Walters hasn't called O'Shea in on the carpet or O'Shea hasn't blistered Pierce and Hall, we are going to have repeat performances.
