-DLC- Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Because one official noticed the clock and it wasn't until the ball was already snapped I don't think. There was a holding call on the play, from what I was seeing, though no replay evidence confirms that. I think Wally saw a hold, saw the flag, then saw that the play was coming back. With the flag, that's 3rd and 11 for the Als with 50 seconds to go rather than 3rd and 1 with a minute to go. Oh, so he thought it was a holding call on BC? Thanks. My bloody phone interfered with the whole game. Changing my number next game. Wow, what a weird one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXCanucksXX Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 One of these days I'm going to get a real job and post a lot less. But for now, it's a good way to procrastinate. Still should be packing/cleaning. And yes, that's true. All the same, I'd rather have an injury-prone QB start than a wildly inconsistent one.

XXCanucksXX Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Holding on Montreal. Would've pushed it back to 3rd and 11. Had TSN showed a replay instead of a bunch of guys in tight pants stand around, I could have confirmed that.

Hordichuk Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 You would if you were compensated $70 a week for your troubles. And had to cover bogus school events. And have nobody read what you write. Still, it's the best I can do, and I'm quite pleased to have that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 OK, so finally got it straight (it was bugging me). No penalty called on the play (that's where I was confused). The play had been blown dead to add more time on the clock. Simple, but what a lousy job of whistling the play down. We caught a big break there. And that other fumble - was the same. I was on the phone but thought his knee was down and they were quick to whistle that one, too. But it definitely was a fumble...just a really quick whistle there. God, so much confusion. That's a Montreal game for sure (last one I went to was ridiculous - injured players every play, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 That play is challenge-able, even if the whistle blows, it just negates any return that the defense may have had. Had an Alouette player picked up the ball and ran it into daylight, but the ref had blown the whistle, a successful Montreal challenge would have only given them possession, not the return. Oh, for sure. Before the replay, I thought he was down (the whole ground can't cause a fumble thing) but he clearly wasn't on the replay. Ball was knocked out before that.

-DLC- Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Actually that's not right. BC got kind of screwed on that play. If they play had been allowed to count, Montreal would have been called for procedure, nullifying the touchdown and putting them 5 yards back. Instead of 3rd and 1 it'd have been 3rd and 6. But how it's being reported is that it was a non play because the refs blew it dead to add time on the clock. At least per the CFL recap. So according to the news - the flag, apparently was to signify "no play" because the play clock hadn't been set. Makes sense but who the hell dropped that ball? Als should be infuriated.

Captain Bob Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Finally got home, what a game!!!! Man, I can't believe they won. Can someone please explain why they called back the Montreal TD at the end? They didn't explain sweet F.A. in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clock ran down to 1:00, then they said no play because the clock wasn't reset, but they never reset it to 1:05 in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please explain why they called back the Montreal TD at the end? They didn't explain sweet F.A. in the stadium. I thought I understood it, but I'm confused about it now. But supposedly the clock wasn't right, it was off by 3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hordichuk Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yeah, it's funny, because when they reset the clock, it should have been 65 seconds, not 60. So they totally screwed that one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it was the playclock, not the game clock they were talking about. Which would make sense as to why the play was blown down after the fact. If it was the game clock, they would've straightened it out beforehand, but it's really unusual for the playclock not to reset. I believe that's what created the confusion. Correct me if I'm wrong (I may be). And damn it if I don't want to know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
