Ever since Betts sacked Fine on a meaningless last play of the game and was dancing around like an idiot… no time for him. It’s a shame as I think Ryan Phillips is a smart coach.

The hit was clean(point of contact was not the head), but i think it fell into that whole defenseless player rule. Here is the NFL definition for a receiver, i would imagine ours is similar: A receiver attempting to catch a pass who has not had time to clearly become a runner. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player. So the way i read that is Arceneault was reaching out and attempting to catch the pass, the ball was not caught so he never established himself as a runner(having possession), and during this catch attempt did not have the time to avoid Loffler, hence he was still in a defenseless position, there for it was a penalty.

The NFL rule might have been in place already at that time but I am pretty sure the CFL didn't adopt their version of that rule until a couple seasons later.

I thought Walker being in his third year had enough time... but anyways, I was just using a quick example to mirror what Edm is doing... you are right that Jeffcoat would probably be the ideal candidate,

You could be right. A Morningbigblue video review might help. But it sure felt like the worst call of all time cuz we, the underdogs, were going to win.

He knew it was a dumb call and just kept playing. Being ahead hugely allows a guy to stay cool.
August 11, 20231 yr comment_652393 The reffing in Edmonton was one of -the- all time worst officiating performances I’ve ever witnessed. Thinking back, I could almost believe this crew took issue with Bighill and Lawler’s criticisms last week. Sure looked like they were out to prove a point at the Bombers’ expense… usually incompetence of that magnitude goes both ways in a game.
