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.

Hot tubs full of Booster Juice for fans to sit in?

I bet the difference is modest for us, but very impactful for teams. Some teams, like us, really struggle to get the calls in quick enough. Other teams run tempo very well. This will yield an advantage, but how much and for who is tough to gauge. I think the teams that run tempo well will always benefit though. It's one of the better scenarios we could have ended up with when they talked vaugely about drastic changes. That said, I don't think the changes are going to have the impact they for see. I don't think the game will be any more exciting, we wont see more TDs, and we will see significantly more FG attempts. They thought long and hard about the hash mark move. And really believed it would juice up scoring a lot. It did very briefly, then Defenses adjusted and it only made O vs D more stale. I also think that this will only lead into further changes after 27.

I guess Usports will need to change their field sizes as well.

I like the changes - or at least am willing to see how they pan out over the next few seasons. The only thing I would have liked, in addition to the changes is if you're going to a 35 second play clock, teams should have an additional timeout. I could see it being much easier to sit on leads now.

Don't mind the changes. The width of the field is what makes the CFL game the most distinct from American football, so changing the length is not a significant issue. I am sure Wade is scheming up ways to make money off the 20 extra yards in the endzones.

Someone said he wouldn't rule out 4 downs in the future when asked outright. Is that true? If so, this might just be the first in a series of death by a thousand cuts.

Read through the changes pretty quickly but I think I like all of these proposed changes. Just wondering what Cody Fajardo will hit now?

I have no issue with the changes and think the goalpost move is long overdue

My take: This has to be an early April Fool's joke.

Maybe to partially counter the increase to 35 seconds in the final two minutes: clock stops if the team in the lead doesn't gain positive yards? ie: no taking a knee.

Well more like for missing the net completely and putting it in the 5th row.

Yup...don't mess with punt and kickoffs...3 downs...motion...width...im ok with it Single for missed fg was bush if it went out of enzone...thst be like giving half a goal for hitting the post

*yet Fair point. There are probably a half dozen games this year that go the other way.

You probably won’t until the last 3 minutes of a game and we go from #NoLeadIsSafe to #MostLeadsAreSafe

I don't mind these changes. Keeping 3 downs, the motion, the width of the field, no fair catch, the extra player are all key. Willing to give these a chance and see what it does to the game.
