Re: BC vs. Calgary Game Day Thread

So, if Meathead Brooks recovers a fumble and punts the ball in celebration, thereby incurring a penalty, why isn't Anthony Parker likewise penalized for gaining a first down and tossing the ball downfield?

Re: BC vs. Calgary Game Day Thread

High snap from Cgy centre, only the first real consequence thus far of their O line injury woes. A break for BC. Only a FGA instead of maybe a major.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Paredes looked wide on that one! Officials see it differently. 27-6 Cgy.

All scores are automatically reviewed by command centre so not necessary; evidently this one stood after this review.

Did you see Travis bail to his left on the last second down play way too early. We had Harris running a rub route for Arsenault but Lulay was not patient.

Yes — in the sense that I believe we're toast, which if we're honest was pretty much the script for this one anyway.
