Note to Larry: The play was already replayed. That’s what the refs did. they blew the play dead because of the buzzer. Not many heard the whistle, but all it would take is one Lions player to hear the whistle and the whole thing is unjustified. Perhaps that one player took the play off after hearing the whistle and that was the player who would have made the tackle.

So the refs, knowing the whistle did blow, called the play back and then guess what? Did EXACTLY what you are suggesting they do now. They REPLAYED the down. Same atmosphere, same players, same refs, same time. In fact there wasn’t even any time run off the clock. So the Als got to try it again. However, this time, instead of running outside, the Als chose to run inside and got stuffed.

So Larry wants the League to replay that down. But didn’t we already do that on the play the Als got stuffed? Or did the Als get 4 downs on that series and the replaying was just an extra down.

Maybe this year at the League meetings, Larry, you will support Wally Buono’s idea to have the refs throw flags (or some sort of visual aid) when they get buzzed as well.

As a hardcore Als fan, I wish the CFL makes this quick & painless….CFL & Cohon overturn the game results & give each team 1 pts as if they tied the game …Mtl will have 15 pts…BC 7 pts…I’m not for the whole replay the last minute…..even if I’ll be at the game sunday

That is insane. I’m glad we don’t have a CFL Commish like Gary Bettman of the NHL who would actually probably do this kinda thing.
The Als are right, there was a mistake, but if they think for one second that this is an entertainable idea, they are crazy!
Pce out!
