Totally agreed. I do remember another one where it looked like a player just said something while walking by an opposing player who had been burned on a play. Perhaps there was something else not caught by the camera or microphone. But if not, I say let the players grow thicker skins and move on.
Who is Power and why is he tripping refs?
Enough flags.
I have never posted about the refs in my time on this site...until today.
I just don't understand the inconsistency of the calls, and the missed calls and the phantom calls.
John Chick was called for off side when the replay showed the Montreal lineman standing up and taking a step backwards before the ball was snapped. Instead of 1st and 15, now 1st and 5.....
A pick six by sask. gets called back for forward pass interference. As much as I hate the call, it was correct. Good call by the refs. Harris did pull on the jersey.
The very next play, The Montreal receiver had no chance at catching the pass. He grabbed Harris's jersey and pulled him down. Why is that not offensive pass interference?????? Why no flag????
I know Sask. still intercepted the ball but if Sask. had a penalty on the play, the offensive pass interference would have negated it.
We finally get coverage in the States and the league goes nuts with penalty calls. How many viewers have heard of how exciting the CFL is, to only tune in to is? I bet we lost a lot of American viewers and future CFL stars.
