Jer15 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The "rouge" is basically the U.S. equivalent of a kicked touchback, and is worth 1 point for the kicking team. So in this case a missed FG still wins the game if it was tied. The Argos could have run it out, but the end zones are 20 yards deep so he probably have been tackled (thus conceding points). You're allowed to kick the ball at any time in Canadian football, so they do (to avoid the rouge or giving up that extra point) that's why you also see a second kick from Montreal and yet another (very weak) kick back from the Argos, which let to the touchdown. Also, the CFL uses "no yards" instead of the fair-catch rule (similar to rugby union) - the kicking team must give the catcher a 5-yard halo to catch the ball before attempting to tackle. I believe that the Argos were hoping to tackle the Alouette who caught the ball before getting in the end zone to keep the game tied. I don't think they were expecting that Montreal would kick the ball back....but obviously I have no way of knowing that for sure.

johnnysama Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 An unsettling thing to me about the new Adidas uniforms: Many players seem to be going the 'solid sock' look, with no white bottom halves showing. That looks terrible, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Love the BC uniforms. Also love the Winnipeg uniforms. I'm torn between which one I think is better. Nontraditional vs Traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helmet stripes still didn't match the pants stripes though. I liked the helmets. They need to fix the stripes on the pants. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Chewbacca Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Edmonton's last home jersey was way better than their new one. What's with the huge space between the names on the backs of the RedBlack jerseys and the numbers, let alone how small the names are? Besides that, Ottawa's new road jersey is way better than their old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using the newest template. It just doesn't have Shockweb on it like the older versions. BC's design shows all of the different pieces off. What's annoying with Calgary is thst if they dropped the horses a little closer to the dleeve cuffs they have space for TV numbers. Ottawa and Saskatchewan have the same issues since they all use the same design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMLind Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 BC looked much better as an orange and white team. Also, pretty sure some Calgary helmets have red flakes, specifically the running back, but others don't. Maybe my eyes were deciding me, though, and it was just a reflection of the scoreboard overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I don't like how BC has 2 different shades of orange. It's like a matte finish at home and more shiny for the roads. I didn't notice it when they were first unveiled, but it was really noticeable when they wore the orange helmet with the orange jersey for the pre-season.
