I wish Chris Jones were still in Saskatchewan so I could call the thread Good Jones vs. Evil Jones.

man that hit on Pipkin ...that looked harder than the Buck Pierce shot in 2011...

what a crock of ****. Every team should get to count a 3 quarter game. we are now 7-1.

What exactly is the downside to waiting out the rain? Coming back to IGF at midnight to watch the second half of the Edmonton game was an absolute blast. What is the league afraid of?

Also don't get the lightning stuff.  Unless it's right over top of the stadium there's not really any danger.  Guess really concerned about liability.

I understand why they don't want delays, but forcing the score to final like that is just silly in my opinion.

Anyone know if this rule applies to the playoffs / Grey Cup? Now THAT would be bush league.

I don't think lightning is an issue at the end of November. Maybe a blizzard.

Soo dumb to call it

The Ambrosie CFL.

This rule is like deciding a gold medal with a shootout...

There'll be some fallout for sure.

If I'm the Als I'm pissed, only 7 points down and playing without a CFL quality qb.

Not going to get into this too much right now. BUT no one here is happy about this, I want to play the game.  If we lose we lose. This is bullshit. This league is going to **** in a hurry.  How am I supposed to enjoy this as a fan. We won, kinda…..    #nothappy

Business decision pure and simple. For the sport and spirit of the sport it's complete rubbish. 

So Saskatchewan gets gifted a win potentially skewing the final standings and playoff positioning. Great decision. Fire Ambrosie.

Doubt it. This is a recently implemented policy which was approved by the BOG’s.

 

Seeing as the Riders and Als play one more time. Could they not play a full game then head to the locker room for a short break (basically a second half time) then come out and play the remaining quarter and a bit? Not sure how it would work but it's a thought lol

They should have finished the game tomorrow.

Media & fan reaction is what I'm talking about. I'm sure the CFL is getting roasted on social media.

They are at every turn. 

So what happens at the end of the year if this win gives the Riders 1st place in the West when without it they would have finished lower?

As they should be.  No one is happy about this

I feel like this has happened in part due to the short weeks this year. 

Hope it's the last one we see like this.

Now that's funny!

Do you guys want this win? For the rest of the season there is a asterisk on our record, its ruined. What if it comes down to the wire for 1st or 2nd or 3rd place or whatever. How can I enjoy our 4th win in row. its tainted. Ambrosie needs to go, and soon.  I'm pissed off

should have been ruled out a draw

Can't do that.  Add the time etc. on to the next game when we play them.  OR just wait and heaven forbid TSN doesn't have it on tv, which is likely the real issue.  I sat and drank beer for a long time in Regina while we had a delay this year, no one called that game

As I said, call the game. Finish it tomorrow.  nIt's only common sense. Something the CFL seems to lack.
