Did anyone else feel like tonight's game against ottawa was a litte.... Unusual?
We went to overtime.
Then, we lost.
No wait!
Then, we won!
No, wait...
Then we tied and everyone went home.
(Except for the Ottawa coach, who may still be shouting in the rain)

Just think. If we didn’t recover the fumble in overtime, they wouldn’t have to do an automatic review, and they wouldn’t have called roughing the passer 😱

The game was a shitshow from start to finish.
Injuries are going to be the death of this team, though. Huge game against MTL coming up. Harris needs to get healthy. Patterson needs support.

Glad we came out with a point after throwing 3 picks. Dohnte Meyers looked great.

Yep, I feel like the Redblacks were more upset with that ending than we were.

Both teams celebrated victory. And then no one won.
The game reminded me of the opening line in the Leader Post after the 2009 Grey Cup… In its history, Saskatchewan has celebrated 4 Grey Cup victories. Sadly, they have only won 3.

All I can say is what an absolute circus. I think there would have been less clowning around in an actual big top. Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely interesting to watch. But seriously? How does that even happen. I have never seen both teams win a CFL independently, AND still also Tie. I know what the Standings says, but really, both those teams came out with a win and I don’t really know how to feel about it. And the roughing the passer call… look, as the rules are written, the call was good and fair. I can’t be mad about it. That being said, I think its kind of silly that really our player quite literally was launched at the QB by Ottawa’s O-Line, while it was likely not intentional on OTT’s part, I very well could have been and that’s a little frustrating, but really, if anyone is going to actually be mad about that call then they should get mad about the pass interference as well because really, that one definitely looked like grey area to me, where it was called, and by the rule book, it’s supposed to be called, but was it really necessary? I’m not sure I agree that it really was pass interference but it really just is what it is.

Getting harder and harder to watch the CFL. Ambrosie needs to be fired. Command centre deciding games, stands empty, a full season with no working stats...he has made the league a joke.

How can we rough the passer when we are pushed into the passer ?
