He does not give off the vibe of someone with a lot of time left. Not making a ton of sense while speaking. Didn't watch the press conference.

That Edmonton owner is 64 going on 85. Looks old as hell.

Completely illegal though. Can't arm tackle above shoulders, can't hit head or neck. That single hit covered a quarter of UR clauses. Then spears a QB in facemask. These things tend to snowball if rules aren't enforced.

45 with a spear right on Powell's facemask. Time to eject. How Morgan can pull those hits and not get a single flag is just absolute insanity. If I'm seriously injured and they can't even throw a flag I'd be suing the league. There's rules around contact in this sport in the interests of player safety. If they don't apply them they are liable.

They aren't though. The rules are extremely clear on Unnecessary Roughness. QB has at least two refs watching him at all times. Either way, that's a hit that should easily be a flag and likely a misconduct foul as well. You let those hits slide and why should anyone care about taking that risk swinging at guys like that? I know he's thinking that the ball is there but you can't be that reckless.

Insane that there's no penalty applied for that hit. And will likely lead directly to points for Edmonton.

That's a hit that can kill someone. A lot of force into the neck.

Should be auto review since it's a turnover. Couldn't be more of an intentional shot.

Wow first play of game Nyles Morgan clubs Ticat receiver right in the head/neck knocking him out. No flag.

I don't think it matters much either way. If anything the TD happening with more time gave the Riders a chance to tie, along with the PAT miss. Their D wasn't making any plays once they lost the corner and Montreal was just picking on a few guys.

The person who started this rumour literally has an entire feed of posts whining about the CFL and Chad Kelly situation. It's 1000% bullshit

Butthurt Argo fan.

Murphy? Not even a factor in this discussion IMO. But I'm sure we could put him on for Johnson, have him play out at the field and dare the D to leave him uncovered. Charbonneau is already on so in your scenario you're short one Canadian. We're already down Feltmate who was a pretty big difference maker on teams, went from getting gashed the first couple weeks to what we have now....I don't think we play around too much with that unit when we don't have to. The worst thing O'Shea has always done is waste American spots. We've often had 1-2 guys who are backups who don't function on teams. At least Johnson gets on the field. We've had lots of receivers who stand on the sideline holding their helmet all night. I've got no gripe with Ayers. Solid player. Special teams is 15% of the game here. No issue with having guys who are backups and solid in that realm. Haba needs to get some hurries and stay disciplined. He's not the kind of difference maker that I'm making adjustments to the D for. The rotation right now between different fronts is a huge strength for this group to keep guys off balance. I hope they don't mess around too much.

That was PI. You can't grab and hold with no position, no attempt to play the ball. That was a classic I'm beat with no help on top of this route desperation grab. The sell job was pretty weak though too.

We aren't dressing extra Canadians so the ratio is a factor if you want to make that switch directly. Haba, Johnson, Karamoko are 3 guys we could easily live without. Reading Tait's story on Haba was quite disheartening. Sounds like a "give a good guy another opportunity" situation. Guy just isn't very useful in comparison to other options. I really don't know how Johnson stays on over Case, even just as a receiver. Johnson is halfway through this season, has no idea how to navigate zones to make himself an option and gets force fed screen passes where he can get yards so long as there's no resistance from the D. Case looks like a technician to me when he's got on the field in the games when guys have been injured. That safety valve kind of guy we need without Wolitarsky or Bailey....the guy that can take advantage of the space the vertical threats like Lawler and Wilson, even Whitehead, open up.

Every team in the West is just a little shaky on D. They’ve all had strong games, maybe aside from B.C., but they all have had games where they can’t make the stop to win it.

18 point swing off Lauther's foot in that game.

Can't overstate how shitty of a play that was by Auclair. Sideline is your friend there. He gave Alexander all that space, stopped his feet and took out his other 2 linebackers pursuing.

Auclair with terrible leverage plus a weak effort on the tackle...blocks his 2 teammates.

The ruling on the field makes no sense so they can get the auto review. It's an incomplete pass.

What the **** is Davis doing?

With support and cooperation of the PA he'd have to exhaust the grievance and arbitration procedures outlined in the CBA. Then the PA could pursue a lawsuit on his behalf beyond that. If the PA drops him at any point in the process he'd be suing them and not the CFL first.

Blatant horse collar on a QB there.

Upper deck is nearly empty.

I mean....it's pro sports and the only pro sport without guaranteed contracts. If you run foul of the team and league you're always on the chopping block. Says right in the SPC portion of the CBA that the Commissioner decides who is eligible to play. I don't see why Kelly can't file a grievance and try it out in arbitration if he feels he's completed the requirements of the initial discipline. Personally, I'm not sure how his return at all could jive with league policies on respectful workplace. There's no requirement to give him another chance to **** up.
