And a ton of time spent reviewing the play. I was sure it was a catch, but from this angle it should have been overturned. 

That's not the ball, that's his arm. It was a catch.

No it's not lol. That's his left elbow. The ball is in his right arm high above the turf.

Yeah the replays tsn had made me think it was a good catch. Nothing super clear but nothing that made.me think they got the call wrong. 

 

Still comes down to offense and defense for BC had.ample opportunities to win that game and failed to do so.

I can't believe the Lions bailed Mace out the way they did.

He really thought... I need at least one touchdown to close out the game, its 3rd and 5 with 3 minutes left... I've already gone for it inside the 5 on third down this half and made it...but no, I am gonna kick a field goal and give the ball to the best offense in the league, with the presumptive MOP and I am going to get the ball back... and it worked! They got the ball back! And then they promptly throw 2 incomplete passes! 3rd down game is on the line but nah, it worked once, lets do it again! And the Lions go two and out again... and the 2nd down play call is so **** the CFL.ca play by play doesn't even count it so it looks like the Lions ran 1 play and then immediately punted it. And now the Riders need to make it 75 yards and score a touchdown in a minute and they do. 

 

Like... if the CFL had robust enough stats to calculate a winning percentage those plays would have affected it negatively. The Rider fans were even going for the exits!

Yup. If they had got one first down they win.

That particular call is one of the best examples of why "the call on the field" should count for zilch when it comes to replay.  There's not a single ref on the field in position to make a call on that play in that spot on the field through the bodies.

I have a really hard time definitively going either way on it.  In the next frame from that freezed shot his lower arm is under the ball.  Seems like it's basically in his control.  But it is moving.

Watching live I thought the DB was punching that out and now way he was catching it.

No replay showed that clearly enough though. 

I did think it was funny that one of the Sask olineman did the no catch hand signal for a second before the refs ruled TD.

IF the very tip of the ball touched the turf it's definitely 'no catch'...Could chalk it up to 'inconsequential evidence' BUT in a game of that magnitude evidence that it was not a td has to be brought forward...The result  was 'shady' at best

Ive yet to see anything that even suggests the ball touched the ground.

Ok thanks, I was wrong. The crow is overcooked and needs more seasoning.

You really need a live slow motion shot to determine it. Still photos aren’t enough. This here looks like he has control and it’s a good catch. Others show him appearing to trap the ball. Really need a live slow motion shot.

Couple photos look like the ball is being trapped by the ground. But again unless we got this slow motion look at it and every millisecond you can’t tell.
