CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Presenting a typical scenario inside the command centre as a pass interference non-call is challenged: Reviewer 1: Oh yeah that looks like pass interference to me. Reviewer 2: Yes it does, I agree. Reviewer 3: Yep that's pass interference. 1: But is it clear and obvious? 2: We have to keep in mind we're looking at it in slow motion. 3: Right. That's unfair to our officials. In real time, it was close. If it was CLEAR AND OBVIOUS, the officials would have called it! They are pros. 1: I agree. It could be clearer and obviouser. 2: Yes. It looks like pass interference but for me it's not clear and obvious enough. 3: So we're all in agreement. There was pass interference but it was not clear and obvious enough. Therefore the non-call stands. Great work gentlemen. 1, 2, and 3 in unison: We deserve a raise!

TNF RedBlacks @ Stamps GDT
Agreed, he looks really good for a 35 year old coming off multiple major injuries. Impressive QB depth for Ottawa

Adams did take that misconduct penalty I believe last game and O'Shea did not look happy with him... Not saying it's related but.... 🤔

Seems obvious that Lucky should take Johnson's spot and Lawler takes Lucky's spot.

He's played and thrived in Maksymic's system before and he's obviously in playing shape as he's been going through NFL training camp and pre-season. He's got three full days to practice. I bet he plays.

Maas might be underrated as a coach, I'd say he's been successful pretty much everywhere but Saskatchewan. Won a Grey Cup as QB coach with the Argos and coached the Redblacks offence to a major turnaround as their OC in 2015. His time in Edmonton was a mixed bag but not terrible either, he made the playoffs 3 out of 4 seasons and won a semi final game each time. They've gone 13-46 since firing him after an 8-10 season in 2019.

SNF Lions @ Elks GDT
Lions D cannot tackle. But Javon Leake is the real deal.

Yeah Sheahan is problem #1 for this team right now, IMO. I'd love to see them bring in some competition coming out of the bye week. I'm not sure if there are any CFL free agent punters out there. I'd also be interested in giving Castillo a chance to punt, at least for a game or two, while Sheahan sits on the PR as insurance...

I'm just not convinced that Eli is that much of an upgrade. He may be. But nothing I've seen so far shows that for sure. You're going to pull your starting centre and gamble on his replacement? What if Eli gets trucked on his first 2 snaps like he did at guard? I agree Kola is nothing special but I don't think he's some anchor dragging the whole line down that desperately needs replacement.

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
So what are you suggesting exactly? O'Shea just has a personal vendetta against Eli? Why not cut him at the beginning of the year if he hates him so much? Or even advise Walters not to sign him at all? This thought that O'Shea hates certain players on his roster is just nuts to me.

Wow just steamrolled him

FNF Als @ Ti Cats GDT
He seems like he is obviously a Bomber fan to me but if you disagree that's fine, it's not really important. But on the topic of the command center, he was on CJOB and I just hunted down the clip on the audio vault. If you start at 51:41 on the August 1st 6 PM timeslot and then continue onto the 7 PM timeslot you can hear the interview. It's painfully obvious this guy has NO CLUE what is going on or how to fix it. It's actually insane how much of an airhead he is. https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-vault-cjob/

What the **** is going on, that is robbery I hate the hyperbole around reffing but that is literally the worst call I've ever seen

FNF Als @ Ti Cats GDT
I heard an interview with Ambrosie on CJOB and he was talking about the command center and I wish I had a transcript but he is just way in over his head, that guy is totally clueless. He seems like a pleasant guy and I love that he's a bomber fan but he's definitely a bit of a muppet This is ludicrous

Case seems very average to me but at least catches the ball and runs forward. If Woli and Lawler are healthy after the break then we won't need our returner to also be a backup receiver and we could go back to Chris Smith and even use Lucky on some kickoffs.

GDT - Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts
How many starting QBs in the CFL right now would you take over Collaros? For me the list starts and ends with Dru Brown and that's only because of his age and ceiling. Really run through the list and ask yourself, would I trade Zach straight up for Fajardo? BLM? MBT? Chad Kelly lol??? Trevor Harris??? ******* Maier McCheese? Maybe you can make an argument for Tre Ford or VAJ but that's about it and both guys have pretty big flaws in their games as well. Collaros is on the downswing but he's still the man... IMO

I can't pick 3 stars. Our secondary is incredible - Bonds, Nichols, Holm, and Ford were all awesome all night and they have been mostly all season. Best secondary in the league, easily. Thank god for Pokey Wilson... our offence would be truly screwed without him. Kendall Randolph - welcome to your new permanent home on the starting OL Brady Oliveira - It seems like he is getting stronger by the game. Running hard and fast and violent. Happy Honker to Zach Collaros for doing exactly what he needed to do to win this game. No stupid throws into coverage, and that run for a first down was a thing of beauty - haven't seen that side of Collaros in quite some time. 3-6 is a tough first half of the season but heading into the bye with guys starting to get healthy and everyone feeling great about their game... we're on an upward trajectory and the forecast is suddenly looking a lot sunnier.
