CFL Game Winning Rouge Compilation 

Add this to description.

@@teo_heel Done!

Sir, can you do, snice 1964 when it came in after 1963, as many kicked balls that hit the post being dead balls? In my opinion, it's awful as they should be single point as well (the other team getting the next play at 45, now be 50) So to see as many examples of those plays that could have resulted in the kicking team winning the game (like in 2022: Montreal still won in OT against Winnipeg, but if my rule change happened, Montreal would have won by 1 w/o OT) than losing if you can 😊

@@KangaKucha I think it was 1974 but I can try to find examples, this is a rare play and footage from this time period is rare so I'll see what I can do.

@@cflhighlights9370 cheers mate I asked on Facebook months ago and this guy said that in Stemp 1963, due to a play being a live ball resulting in a TD, it got changed. He didn't say when but my guess it be the next season of 1964. However I originally thought it be 1974 too sir so no worries mate. All the best :) Matt R/S aka Kangiwii PS: let me know if you make a video as I like my rule change option to appear on it and argue the more Canadian Football is like Australia Rules Football (we do it as the Behind rule) and Rugby Football where Canadian came from and less like its American counterpart, the bloody better it gets! Agree? :)

I agree. Also when you are anticipating a field goal, but it's missed and you are mocked with a meaningless single point, I find that to be very hilarious salt being rubbed into the wound.

I do have two technical question. When a single is scored is it considered a "scoring drive" I hear this term used when a touchdown or field goal is scored. Second, who gets credit for the single point, the punter, team, or no one? I think that I read that the punter does not get credited for the single.

@@TheAseer2020A scoring drive is just any drive that ends with a score as opposed to a turnover or something. In the CFL stats rouges are usually credited to kickers afaik, they have stats on most rouges in a career etc.

​@@cflhighlights9370I have another question, there's a rouge scored after a kicker deliberately missed the FG and put it out of bounds at 0 secs to win the game. Am I interpreting that right? Also, does a missed FG have to be caught? I take it that it's live so it has to be received otherwise the kicking team can score a TD?

@@arcusmaeyes you’re interpreting that right, but it doesn’t have to be caught. For example in the bc edm one in this video, it went out of bounds without anyone having the opportunity to touch it.

It happened a lot in the 60s and 70s, but not many games from that era have footage, and if they do, they probably weren't won on rouges. Here's a list I compiled of every one. docs.google.com/document/d/1dMUdXONRrguuPJbvJNYXUjJCLRCZBu8PvXbOrMEQXB4/edit?usp=sharing

Yes, it’s true. According to a 1956 documentary a rouge in the Eton field game is scored by kicking the ball around the uprights and landing on it for a single point. Just like how a rouge is kicked around the uprights and the ball is not brought out of the endzone.

IMO, American football needs the whole Canadian kicking game.

@@HalianTheProtogen -Yep. I also like those onside punts.

NFL end zones aren't deep enough to give a full point for a rouge, but I think a fraction would be cool. How about 7/11 of a point? Deliberately making the denominator a prime means that unless each team scores the same number of rouges, ties would go away.

Actually, the NFL has one rule that has it origins in Rugby, however, modern Rugby did away with this rule, and is very old. The CFL does not have this rule. It is the option to make a field goal attempt after, a fair catch/mark. Yes the NFL needs rule changes, however, it does have an old odd rule.

@@montyharder3663 What is so bad about a tie?

It was a pretty anticlimactic ending to a great game in overtime

It was a briliant call by the coach. Not only is it the shortest distance to the back of the endzone, but you don't risk hitting the uprights and having a dead ball.

​@brentstwocents exactly! And it seemed like none of the players cared, they were stoked they won. That last kick by Lui has to be one other best punts of all time

The problem with a long field goal attempt is if you miss the chances of a huge return (or TD) is too high. At least on a punt you have downfield coverage.

No, but it used to be scored this way in the early days of Canadian football. Nowadays it’s just a touchback.

If they can get it out of the endzone it’s not a single point.

It’s not that weird. It’s to reward the offense for advancing the ball that far and to encourage the defense to have to think about something besides just blocking the kick. The point isn’t a reward for missing: it’s a reward for advancing the ball. It only really makes sense because the the end zone is so big and the posts are on the goal line, where they should be :)

He caught it with a foot out of bounds

@@cflhighlights9370 oh duh

Worthy caught it with a foot out of bounds

Well because punts are live, at least if it’s a FG it’s dead and you don’t have to kick it 20 yards further into the endzone or risk the other team bringing out. A failed game winning rouge on a punt has happened many times. But there are definitely some times where teams should just punt for the single.

It’s hard to be close enough, and also because if you go for a field goal, the other team instinctively tries to block it in front of the uprights, so you can just miss and miss the block. It’s a good strategy. But a short distance punt has happened before for example thanksgiving 2002 Toronto/Hamilton.

They do sometimes, but a punt has to go 20 yards further than a field goal cause it had to go out of the endzone to be a guaranteed point, whereas a field goal is dead once it goes through the upright which is 20 yards closer than the back of the endzone. Also, if you do a field goal but have the intention of missing, the other team will block in front of the uprights whereas the ball will go around them. On a punt everyone knows exactly what you are doing. But again it has been tried for example Thanksgiving 2002 Toronto @ Hamilton

No such thing as luck in sports. Either you win or you don't
