Football outside in TO just looks right. Plus long off season finally over.

Canadian football games have to end with a play.  If time is blown in with 19 seconds or less left in a quarter the team with the ball can run a play even if the clock hits 0:00 before the ball is snapped.

The referee blew the play in which is why the clock was running. The RedBlacks then started to change their personnel which should have resulted in an illegal substitution penalty. Time has to expire while a play is going on.

The substitution gates were already down as the whistle had blown play in. 17 players on the field is 'too many men'. On the TV broadcast the line judge lowering the gates is visible on the Ottawa sideline.

That said the Eskimos blew it themselves. They should have been able to kill that clock on offence.

Ottawas never got put up. That's why they had to allow them to substitute. 

For those of us who missed it... was Burris replaced b/c of injury or poor play?

Nope. He was playing great. He had a hand injury and the way Harris was playing, there was no reason to put him back in the game.

That's what I guessed based on Burris' stats... thanks

Freak injury as well. Took a snap and bent his pinky back. He'll be fine and back starting in no time.

Not as bad as the Edmonton player holding his hand up for the cameras with one finger going a really weird way. That looked real painful.

Credit to the Lions/Stamps game for providing both the runner-up and the winner for dumbest coach's challenges of the season, and accomplishing it in the span of 5 minutes.

O'Shea's challenge of Willy's tackle at the 5 has to be a runner up, he threw away a timeout and every one except Willy could see that it was well short.

@Breakerdog @CFL_News Got answer for you from CFL's Glen Johnson. Ref mistakenly blew play in despite Ottawa not finished subs. 1/2
