These rule changes are going to remove several elements that are unique to Canadian football. I'm kind of aghast. - Benches on opposite sides is reasonable. - I don't like taking away the rouge but I can understand it. Couldn't they keep it for punts but get rid of it for missed FG to skip rewarding failure? - I am not a fan of moving the goal posts. Bye bye to most field goal returns. - Changing the field size after the development of relatively new stadiums in 4/9 markets is nuts. It will mean that fans in the end zones and corners will be farther from the action factoring in the 5 yard shrinking of the field and 5 yard shrinking of the end zones. But I do understand shrinking the end zones for consistency with stadiums that can't handle a full 20. - If they were going to change something, I'd have added a fair catch instead of the 5 yard no yards rule that seems difficult to apply accurately in any case.

I'm really not happy guys... CFL football is the only league I truly care that much about anymore and now the ***** commissioner says we gotta change everything about it to chase other fans. It's a slap in the face to all of us who do support this game. We don't matter, others are more important so we're going to make a shittier to try and magically find fans rather than putting in grass roots work to build support. **** everything about this.

hene....the need for nore offence and going for it...no? I see your point....but the pro's and cons likely balance out And really...how many missed FG for a TD do we see a yr...not like its an every game ...multiple times thing

I presume He will be going back to Niagara. But agree, looked sharp in game 1 yesterday. Zhilkin looking ready to take a step forward with the Moose. Team has unprecedented depth this year.

Of all the times in history to try and be more American.... elbows up, **** America watch a CANADIAN league, but do we try that? No let's desperately try and be American so maybe Toronto will care (spoiler alert, they won't)

to hell with FG's lol.... they have a developmental league....Div 1 and 2 in the us college system...More guys make it from there than the odd free agent here nah....grow balls and go for it....cause if you fail....the other team just obtained 15 moe extra yards for a ossible fg themselves Good coached teams will probably go for it way more often...and yeah likelyhood of TD's in crease...especially when you dont have to basically scheme for corner routes or fades for most part On flip side we screwed cause we aint well coached and Osh has plums the size of tick tacks and rarely gambles if it more than a yard

Based on this weekends Bomber game. Vaval missed FG would have gone out the back of the end zone if the Redblacks even attempted it. He caught it deep in the back of the end zone. That's not going to improve the game. It will also reduce the number of last play game winning FG's due to the increased distance needed to try that FG.

I think joint agreement or merger with the ufl in the off season is far more likely. ah yes time to punt from the opponent 30 yard line.

OR THAT hahah

Like the idea of moving the posts, if nothing else for player safety.... The timeclock change isn;t that much of a biggie ....I'll wait for the other changes to actually be put into practice, before passing judgement,,,,At least there was no talk about us being an official feeder league for the nfl...All in all we'll see how it all shakes down and if it really is a positive for our game ... Jury is out

Why does everyone think the NFL wants the CFL to be a development League? They have one, it's call the NCAA. The players moving into the NFL from there are getting paid more there than they would here. It's not worth it to the NFL to have a league where a half dozen players per year MIGHT finally take the leap and become servicable in the NFL

15 yard endzone + 8 yards for the setup. So if you made it to the 40 it would be a 63 yard field goal. 30 would be 53 yards. So somewhere between 30 and 40.

So how far do you have to make it now for a makeable field goal? The 25?

So by 2028 they make the switch to 4 downs and then it is a NFL developmental league by 2030?

The reason I hate moving the goal posts is because they are now on the GOAL LINE. You score when the ball crosses that plane. Move them to the back now you have 2 goal lines. It's just dumb. #RadicallyCanadian4Ever

Make the field 50 yards if all they want is ads...these are all stupid the goal posts are no longer goal posts there outside of the field of play posts.

Not a receiver, we know that much!

Moving the goal posts is annoying because the Field goal return was one of the more exciting plays Might have been gimmicky, but you are capturing 10 yards on each side by move the end zone in 5 and eliminating the 55 yard line, make those 10 yards the field goal return zone, only inbounds during a field goal

Any chance these changes sweeten the pot for a real CFL video game now? The number of changes required to port Madden to Flutie are getting smaller...

Maybe a bird flies in and gets nailed.... it's happened in other sports!

This is boiling the frog folks. They have decided to kill the league slowly. **** all of it.

I wonder how the league, and half the teams are scheming up ways to pay for all the surface changes for franchises that are already hemoraghing money.

Yes. He said he would never rule anything out.
