Even from the angle inside the the end zone, the tip of the ball crossed the front plane of the goal line, so if that camera had been right on the goal line it would have been even more obvious that the ball crossed the plane. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2389/#videos At the 1:17 point you can see where the white stripe is on the ball and extrapolate where the point of the ball would be above the goal line. This angle isn't directly down the line and it appears to be across, so moving the camera down the line would make it even more obvious.

SHOCKED are you? It wouldn't be the worst possible outcome. It wasn't 3rd down. It just would have made it 2nd and one, which we likely get anyway.

We seem willing to accept players like this instead of insisting only on players who are among the best in the league. yes. walters and o'shea are willingly and purposely fielding sub-par DBs and LBs because thats what they would rather do then find legit defensive players who are studs. I mean, its amazing that Johnson and Leggett are still on the field, them being so talented.. they should clearly be shelved for inferior players..

What about Medlock? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be unemployed long if we cut them. Hell, I dont think Wild, Alexander, Okopulgo or the rookie DE playing for Oko at the moment would last long on the open market either. our offensive line is one of the best in the league.. we have the best combo back in the league. So, our average QB and somewhat average receivers are essentially the only spot where we can say we are "willingly" accepting sub-par performance. Riddle me this batman, how would you correct that? bring in players to push their spots? we did that. nobody adequately rose to the occasion.. So in synopsis, this theory that we are just oh so happy to sit on sub-par or mediocre players is a laugh. We have upgraded a few spots on our team from last year.. stood pat at others which were not needed to be addressed.. By all means, feel free to refute this if you'd like to. should be interesting to watch. Edited July 25, 2017 by SPuDS Sard and Mr Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen them blow too many D-men off the line of scrimmage so far. They've done a good job of protecting Nichols for the most part.

Our O went 6 straight 2-and-outs when we needed them most on the way to blowing a greater than 2 TD lead. We're drooling over the prospect of getting Bruce Johnson back, a guy we regularly roasted here last year. Nichols is an average to below average QB and no, guys like Hurl, Carmichael, and Pat Neufeld don't excite me. Yes we have some *good* players, but your definition of stud and mine are obviously different. If Leggett, Heath, Randle, Loffler, Westerman, Nevi(n)s and Johnson, along with the others you mentioned, are your very best, upper echelon players, how do you explain the results? Coaching? Or are they studs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your entire point is a rookie DB who is only playing because of injuries, a backup OL who I don't think has seen the field at all this year and a canadian who is only starting because an american rookie came in and stole a spot that was ear marked for canadians and caused a ratio change? Keep on reaching man, keep on reaching. The team is 2-2 with losses to teams that were widely expected to be among the top teams in the league, things are not nearly so dire as you make them seem.
