Fringe penalties? Hands to the face is called every game and so are late hits. PI is PI. You sound like Suitor. 

The one unnecessary roughness call on Ball was absolutely horrible and the jersey tug was ... eh

The Ball penalty needs to be called 100% of the time.  Way late and how you end up with an injury list full of stars.

Yeah, glad I'm not the only one who thought that.  I mean, the score speaks for itself with our guys up by 15, but I feel offenses in the CFL are already getting a crazy amount of advantages, and these handicaps being put on defenses have to stop.

That was a bad call. Great it helped us set up the first TD but next time we could be the victim of a bad call like that. 

Kenbrell 3 for 81 yards

He was still on the playing field. Ball was coming over. I don't know what he  could have done?

The ball penalty was definitly "uncessary"...

Yeah, had it been helmet to helmet or something cheap like that, I'd have agreed with the call.  But a collision like that ... I don't like flagging it.  Big hits are part of football and those who don't like them should just stop watching the game.

Stopped?  The ball hits the turf and Adams pulls up nearly a full second before Ball levels him full speed.  That's dirty as hell.  He still would have hit him if he slowed down but nowhere near that amount of contact and force.  Totally unnecessary as the play was obviously over.

Made sure the player had the ball.

Bowman had 95 yards in 6 games.... previous best was 38 yards in our blowout against Montreal....

It wasn't dirty. He hit him shoulder level. Didn't spear him or go low. It was a clean hit as far as I saw.  It didn't look late to me.

Play was definitely over no need for the hit, hard hits are a part of the game, late hits are not and should be penalized whether its on a qb or any other player

SJ Green is more done than Bowman.

If that was a Bomber DB who did that we'd all be screaming WHAT??!

Well of course we would be but it would still be a penalty

Loffler has been called for that hit when the ball was still up for grabs FFS.

Miller ST Demon

Peel back block on Neufeld?  Did they show it on TV?

Hence why it's bad on the league/refs

Meh two forced throws... luck they were not intercepted.   Nichols is playing like Reilly just chucking it up for anyone to grab.     He seems to have so much protection that he should be able to find someone open?

JSK having a great game so far

nope

JSK so hit and miss.  Great play then loses Wilder on 2nd and 10 and gives Franklin a freebie.
