These refs are actually atrocious but here's a legit question - if they can reverse a call AFTER it's been called with one team not having a challenge in their pocket, what on earth is the point of the challenges in the first place? Why is the booth not just reviewing every call and making decisions like that?

In all honesty, I'll probably have beer tonight

I would like to see 4 consistent quarters of football.  If we're up by 30 points, don't take your foot off their throat and let them back into it.

I'm curious.  Did we lose or win the game we played by ourselves?

 

I couldn't hear what your screen name was. I wanted to get you a beer at halftime and did, but with 1:20 to go in the third yoy haven't returned to your seat.
It's a large, premium import and it's getting warm. I'm drinking it.
Fraternal love,

Make that 16 points off nothing...the Argos have done nothing except get gifts...what a joke.

Just heard he died in the Humboldt bus crash. He was TBieber on this forum and ran cfldaily.ca.
 

I believe this type of thread shows up every December...  so we're right on schedule...
Then a few signings are announced just before/after Christmas...   but the forum still rumbles - panic continues...  
Most of our big name free agents are signed just before FA with one real head shaker...  forum argues over that one decision
Walters grabs 2 big names and 2 not so big in FA...  forum agrees Walters is a genius then we argue about Joe Mack
Walters make a fairly small trade like getting a 4th round pick for some dude...  forum hails him as a genius
Coaching personnel decisions takes a long time... panic ensues...  new assistant hired...  forum argues 
Someone asks what happened to Nasty Nate...  someone else complains about how bad this board is getting (unlike the old days)
Draft occurs and we all hail it as one of the most 'solid' drafts in recent history...  forum rejoices in Walters' genius - then we argue about Taman
A long-winded thread starts about Cal Murphy and Don Jonas in a subtle attempt to show just who the real fans are here... and then its pre-season!!!
 

Odds of getting hit by a bus vs odds of getting hurt playing football when you've already suffered significant injuries playing the sport...........seriously. I'm not arguing one way or another, but get a better argument than that.

I don't think that's the point.  The point is every great player still has to think about life outside of football because father time comes knocking whether we want him to or not.  At this point, I don't know how many ceilings Ray really has to bust through.  He's going to be going to the CFL Hall of Fame at this point anyway, he's not going to break Calvillo's passing record, and considering how taxing even the rigors of training camp can be, I'd be thinking if I was him that now is my time to say "mission accomplished, thank you CFL for a great career."

Now why wasnt the illegal challenge a delay of game penalty.   And why wasnt the  supplex on dressler and ejection. 

Brutal call.  Textbook illegal contact.

I realize I'm talking to a wall here, but I reeeeeeeeeeeally feel like we should disallow posts that exist strictly to boost page views for their own site. It's one thing if it's a regular contributor here who also has their own page, but when a poster comes here once a week strictly to promote their own page........this is just all kinds of greasy.

Good riddens to that site and the ahole
who ran it!!!!

I couldn't possibly argue with myself, how can I prove a guy wrong when his logic is flawless?

The score....where we have more points than the green guys...That's the obvious one....now the way to get there....shutting down Glenn.

Mike made a good comment in one of the topics and I thought it was worth while to mention it here.  We are often down and hard on how other teams (Riderfans.com) fans behave and how they treat everyone poorly but it seems that we have been getting to be very similar in a way with the new fans coming to the forum to discuss football.  I honestly understand that yes this is the internet and one needs a thick skin, but I do believe we as a group need to be better at not assuming every Rider, Lions, Hamilton fan is a troll.  I mean I find that there is more trolling going on in this forum by our own fans than the other fans (minus Mosaic).  We also should stop assuming every newbie fan who may not be super knowledgeable is Migs.  We were all very new once, I still consider myself the newbie to be honest.  But the forum would definitely be more engaging and fun if we can have more topics talking about football with many different perspectives; even if not all those perspectives are viewed through our blue tinted glasses.

100%. Checked the comments on the cfl Facebook page and Rider fans are out complaining in full force. Also one guy saying the Bombers aren't **** until they beat the Eskimos...

1 more for the win column is all I'm hoping for.  No matter the final score differential.

The command centre continues to consistently get it wrong. I mean it's a hand to the face mask that by definition should be roughing the passer. Sigh the command centre has been awful this season. 

Harris. Dressler. The D in general. 
0 TDs and 2 Ints for Ray. 
No Offensive TD scored by the argos. 
HH goes to the guy who will woop Glenn Suitors ridiculous anti bomber BS constantly whining ASss.

Good stuff here...one of the all time greats.

I just don't get how TSN could freeze frame it clearly showing his leg was not down and the ball was out... yet command center still not get it right?  
It was crystal clear...

Wow CFL 0/2 on two big plays in two games. This is absolute bush league.
