I did not give a rats arse who won tonight but I saw the two worst calls this year both against Edmonton.
1. Pass interference against Edmonton because a BC Lion tripped in the endzone , the trip had nothing to do with the defender. An awful call where NO INTERFERENCE OCCURRED!!!
#2 . A non-call where the Lions used an illegal pick play where a Lion receiver literally grabbed the Eskimo player and pulled him away from the play. This freed Harris who became uncovered for an easy touchdown. The grab and pick was seen by everyone but the referee??? :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :twisted:
Oh Yeah, BUT THESE WERE NOT THE WORST CALLS OF THE GAME. THE WORST ONE WAS WHEN, AFTER A PENALTY FLAG WAS DROPPED, THE HEAD REFEREE RAN FORWARD WITH HIS TELEVISION MICROPHONE ON AND SAID, " PENALTY AGAINST WINNIPEG!!!"
As we all know, B.C. was playing Edmonton!!!
Riders Rule
Officials Drool!! :thdn: :thdn: :thdn: :thdn:
A miss-speak is the “worst”. Now that truly demonstrates grasping-at-straws to make a point. I guess when a Ref names the wrong number as the offender on a play they should be immediately terminated.
I was a the game, and yes, those two calls were wrong. On #2 my buddy and I saw the flag and both thought interference on BC for the pick but it was offside against Edm and the TD stood. On #1 the worst that should have been called was accidental interference (possibly stepped on his foot) with a lesser penalty be we didn’t see anything deserving a penalty from our angle (which was in that endzone!) and the in stadium replay offered nothing. Of course, there was also the missed PI call that should have been called on Edm earlier in the game that disrupted a possible long BC reception. So maybe that’s the even-out : )
Disrupted a drive as opposed to 21 points off missed or blown calls, yeah that’s a good trade-off. :lol:
I m trying to recall...was this the game that a roughing the passer was called when the D guy was lightly pushed towards the QB, and the QB turned into him? I don't recall if it was the game, but I think it was. I just remember seeing it and laughing.

Not sure which you are wondering about. I was particularly questioning the pass interference where the B.C. player tripped over his own feet and fell in the end zone, causing the official to I would assume guessed what happened and threw the flag on something he did not see. I really have no problem with officials missing something but please, your better off missing a call than inventing one!
