TORONTO — Coaches will be able to challenge only one play per game under changes to the video review system approved Tuesday night by the Canadian Football League, the CFL announced Wednesday.
“We have a super game. Our elite athletes are treating us this year to incredible plays, close contests and even miracle comebacks. Scoring is up, penalties are down, and games are shorter. The last thing we want to have in place is an artificial impediment to our fans’ enjoyment of it all,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie.
”Video review, unfortunately, has become just that. It was put in place to fix egregious and indisputable mistakes that could affect the outcome of a game. It’s not being used that way now. Too many challenges and reviews are interrupting the game. Coaches, understandably since they are under pressure to win, have been using it to try to gain an advantage. Fans have been very clear with me that they want a change. We are delivering that change.”

The change is effective immediately.
Prior to this change, each team had two challenges per game, and a third challenge was earned if a coach was successful with their first two challenges. Now they will only get one challenge for the entire game. They will still need to have a timeout to initiate a challenge. And if their challenge is not successful, they will still lose a timeout.
Ambrosie ordered an evaluation of the process after his latest visits to CFL stadiums this past weekend. The resulting proposal, to restrict coaches’ challenges to one a game, was approved last evening in a series of calls with the league’s Competition Committee, team presidents and lead Governors.
“We at the CFL want our players to know we want the focus on the field and on their amazing talents,” Ambrosie said. “We want fans to know we are in the business of doing all we can to provide the very best experience for them.”
A national conference call with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and Senior Vice President of Football Glen Johnson will be held at 2:00pm ET on Wednesday.

One event that people have been forgetting and I just watched again was that goal line stand at the beginning of the 4th quarter.  Two straight stuffs at the 1 yard line, they were even able to push them back a bit.
 
It was a thing of beauty...  

Don't feed the trolls...

I was at the game and swear the whistle was before the ball came out, but after watching it again, yea it was a blown call.  
 
But what is it now...  One in our favor and 10+ the other way.   THe football gods have a long way to go in swinging the balance back in our favor.

And oh yea, whomever said that Medlock wasn't worth his reported $175,000, please come eat some crow.  

I like other fans input.  The name calling, insult hurling I see here and over there can be insufferable...
I hate seeing the inbred. 1990, 25 years blah blah.  It's why I hardly ever post, beacause it's tough to find someone who can take criticism well and not get offended.

Agreed.  I hover a lot on both forums (MBB/RF) and nothing that Ripper has done has been Trollish.
90% of the things that our fans say on RF aren't Trolling either, but I guess after a loss like that people can be a little thin skinned.
 

That's how I pictured the Holley/Adams situation.  
 
Trying to explain what I said earlier to a Rider Fan got me no where.   Oh well, we won.  Who gives a **** now.

Yea, saw that on Twitter.  Sad times.  And Riders will spin it that Orridge snubbed them.
