December 7, 20213 yr comment_544047 In the CFL vid highlights on YouTube....one can clearly see the point of the ball hits the turf, and drags along almost a foot. To say nothing about the "subtle"(Credit Suitor) push off by Williams.....

December 7, 20213 yr comment_544063 2 hours ago, bearpants said: The frustrating part for us... which you're failing to mention... is this was NOT "ticky tack" or "marginal"... it was VERY CLEARLY not a catch... it was a rare moment where CFL twitter was almost unanimously in agreement (save for some Rider fans, of course)... the command centre just didn't have the balls to make the right call. BTW, this isn't meant to be an attack on your post.... I agree on the points you've made as to why they might not overturn some stuff... this was just not one of those moments. I agree, and I was not trying to defend the call. This was not ticky-tack, I am saying the mindset of both sides is “defer to the other party” so no one stands up and makes the call that needs to be made. Sorry if my post was not clear enough there. It was absolutely a blown call, and command centre has been really bad at many calls this year. An overhaul is due. Edited December 8, 20213 yr by TrueBlue4ever

It’s incredibly concerning that the refs and the command center both look at that and say “Yep. Good to go.” That hurts the reputation of the league.

December 8, 20213 yr comment_544122 The push off by Williams was so obvious as well... no idea how that was missed.

If I have a question about the bombers, I can write and expect an answer, even a canned answer but sometimes rarely a surprising candid response. Wonder what happens if one writes the league and asks for an explanation?

It's funny because Williams was well known as a push off artist in his first go around with Edmonton... yet for some reason they never cracked down on it... and now they're still letting him get away with it... very confusing

It's rarely called. I've always felt offense gets a huge advantage when it comes to what one can and can't do when fighting for the ball.

December 8, 20213 yr comment_544342 I’m surprised how enamoured they are with CF on rider fans. They think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Saying he’s way better then Collaros lol! Funny group of fans those people are.
December 8, 20213 yr comment_544347 Already anointed as a franchise QB in Riderville. He'll be 30 by the time the 2022 season kicks off, so I have my doubts and I think his ceiling is well known. He's got the skillset to be an effective QB in the CFL. However, what's between his ears will continue to hinder him unless he learns to not be bothered by external factors like fan opinion on social media.

I'd say that depends on what a team's expectations are...in terms of a downfield passing game But he will be employed...somewhere.
December 8, 20213 yr Author comment_544352 Yeah...he is what he is...mid tier..and he won't be getting better...regression will be more likely...and at 512k for 2022....ouch!!
December 8, 20213 yr comment_544356 career 3rd stringer...will never be anything more than what he's always been. Enjoy hitching your wagon to that, assholes.....

December 9, 20213 yr Author comment_544399 Yup the comparisons are laughable..his completion percentage is a funny one...if he can't make all those 2 to 5 yard passes to offset the 6% efficiency on deep balls over 20 yards then u really suck...and 20 yards isn't deep . That's the funny part...and thing they don't see...
December 9, 20213 yr comment_544401 Mike Reilly in 2013 4207 passing yards, 25 td passes, 18 interceptions, 709 yards rushing, 1 td, 8.4 yards per carry Cody Fajardo in 2021 if you take his 13 games and make it 18 using averages 4112passing yads, 19 tds, 15 interceptions, 648 rushing yards, 6 yards a carry. I mean its somewhat close but that was Reilly's first year as a starter and he had thrown 75 passes in the CFL going into the season. It was Fajardo's second season as a starter and he had thrown 541 passes going into this year. Plus you know MR can complete a 20 yard pass and has more arm talent.
