CFL 2024 Recap: Ottawa @ Edmonton - week 6

[@CheeseEnthusiast617]

Edmonton is the only team that could somehow manage to lose a game on a kickoff. And yet, I'm really not surprised. Ottawa played great ball too, 480 yards and 2 TDs for Brown is a huge confidence booster this early in the year.

[@teo_heel]

Ottawa played great. Edmonton wasn't bad either. It all came to one stupid mistake.

[@teo_heel]

Memorable for sure. That was AWESOME. He looked so great tonight. That's how you made a first impression.

[@CheeseEnthusiast617]

he's certainly a speedster. I'd be surprised if they don't keep him in the starting lineup after tonight. He's not really that tall but that long TD run on the crossing route shows that you don't need to win jump balls to be a good player. If he stays in the lineup for next week I'm totally adding him to my fantasy team

They are. After name change they can't win.

[@nancybannerman1224]

Another exciting CFL game. I really do feel sorry for the Elks. They just can't catch a break. To lose after such a great comeback and because of a stupid mistake. The Elks kicker had a horrible night. Maybe they will get the next one. Still love watching the highlights. 🇨🇦

[@ashvanes484]

random American and I looked into the CFL like 25 years ago (probably just after college, I realized the internet had to exist at least lol) and didn't really get into it. For some reason I started looking at game summaries this year and it is way more entertaining than the NFL. Of course I have soured a bit on the NFL overall. A question perhaps someone can explain, it feels like the refs call a lot of pass interference. What are the rules for this in the CFL? Thank you, most respectfully.

[@sloburnjo]

Cfl defensive pass interference explained In the Canadian Football League (CFL), defensive pass interference (DPI) is a penalty that occurs when a defensive player interferes with an eligible receiver’s ability to catch a forward pass. Here’s a breakdown of the rules and penalties associated with DPI in the CFL: What constitutes DPI? DPI occurs when a defensive player physically contacts an opponent, creating separation, redirecting, restricting, or impeding the opponent’s opportunity to play the ball. This can include: Physical contact that creates separation between the receiver and the ball Redirecting the receiver’s path to the ball Restricting the receiver’s ability to catch the ball Impeding the receiver’s opportunity to play the ball Penalties for DPI In the CFL, defensive pass interference is punished by an automatic first down at the spot of the foul or 10 yards from the point of the last scrimmage, whichever is closer to the offending team’s goal line. Key points to note: DPI is a foul that can be committed by either team, but it is more commonly called on the defense. The penalty for DPI is an automatic first down, which can significantly impact the game’s momentum. The CFL allows coaches to challenge DPI calls, which can lead to reviews and potential reversals of the call. Comparison to other leagues For comparison, the National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) have similar rules regarding DPI, but with some differences: In the NFL, DPI is punished by an automatic first down at the spot of the foul. In the NCAA, DPI is punished by an automatic first down at the spot of the foul, but only up to 15 yards. In high school football, the penalty for DPI is a 15-yard penalty with the down replayed. Conclusion In summary, CFL defensive pass interference is a penalty that occurs when a defensive player interferes with an eligible receiver’s ability to catch a forward pass. The penalty for DPI is an automatic first down at the spot of the foul or 10 yards from the point of the last scrimmage, whichever is closer to the offending team’s goal line. Coaches can challenge DPI calls, which can lead to reviews and potential reversals of the call. - from a born and bred Montreal Alouette fan.

I wondered that myself after only reading that that was what happened, not seeing the end of the game. I only read game reports that the ball was placed at the 50. Like of course. I don't know why it was of course. The rule book doesn’t mention placing at the 50 in that situation.
