Check out the Lions; receiver on the last play before Whyte’s FG (9:54) on the highlight attachment…he’s 5 yards offside…how the Command Centre missed that, I have not idea.
I usually just go past any and all of the “the refs beat us tonight” postings, but this one was legit…
Did Coach O have a challenge left?
It was offside, blatent missed call
And the Hamilton spotters missed that!
They’ve missed these all year. They also missed an obvious one earlier on Kiondre Smith where Shiltz wound up running for a big first down. I’ve seen it in a lot of games across the league - not sure if it’s the line judge’s responsibility to pick up on these. It just seems really bad this year
On the long interception return how did they miss the BC player Hardy smashing our guy square on the back sending him directly into Lawson and and making that tackle???
Offsides get missed frequently. If they stopped to look at every play the game would take 5 hours.
Also if Simoni hadn’t touched him with 1 second on the clock
time would have expired
Touching a downed player is no longer the rule. Once a receiver hits the ground and gives himself up the play is blown dead. This also happened at the last game in Ottawa. Just before the half, Acklin caught a pass in field goal range, hit the turf, nobody touched him and the play was blown dead.
While bad, or missed, calls did hurt the TiCats, I thought they were very lucky, late in the second quarter, when Campbell lost his challenge on the play where Godwin was stripped of the ball, before an early whistle, and it was recovered, immediately after that whistle, by the Lions. It was wrongly ruled TiCats’ ball by the on-field officials and then, again, by the command centre. It led to a TiCats TD, four plays later, cutting BC’s 10-point lead to 3.
Can’t challenge offside
This is the correct interpretation…Simoni touching him is overblown
I don’t see anyone offside. The near slot receiver is close but in my screenshot the ball has already moved. Certainly nobody 5 yards offside.
Perhaps we just prevent them from getting 10 yards in 3 seconds.
Just another excuse for all the Simoni haters out there to take a big giant uncalled for dump on him . Some people just have to hate to make them feel better about themselves . To all you Simoni haters out there …go take a flying leap !
No I don’t think it was offside…I though so at first but
This GIF shows how close it was, then take into account that the camera was not looking straight down the line
Note when the gif freezes, you can see the ball has been snapped
Its close, but as you said, no-one is 5 yards offside
I think you should be able to challenge offside, or ANYTHING else for that matter…but you still get 1 per game
A badly called offside can affect the game just like PI can
They gave a lot of cushion on a play with 4 seconds left. My guess is they figured BC wouldn’t be able to run a 10 yard pattern and down the ball in time to get back in field goal range, and were playing for the Hail Mary to the end zone. That was my expectation after the holding call.
Lots of favourable calls go both ways during a game. I thought the PI on White in the first half before our second TD was a gift - looked like Tim just ran into the db and fell, ball didn’t seem catchable to me at the time.
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t play tighter with help over the top. But prevent is Stein and Wash’s favourite word.
Agree they should have had at least a couple guys playing tight. Looked like 3 dbs all a few yards away from Hatcher when he caught the ball 10 yards downfield. It’s almost like they figured there was no way BC would throw underneath.
