To be fair no one is actually saying NFL. But it is more around these changes are significant. League needs to change for revenue, too many teams losing money. Don’t know what else this could be, especially with the influence MLSE has now.

imagine the tariffs on imports tho.

Alienating the diehards to turn the CFL into the football equivalent of the AHL would kill it within 5 years.

It's interesting because this guy was with TSN prior to this gig... And we know how loudly the TSN talking heads (Naylor in particular) were banging the drum for NFL rules.... So I'm wondering if Ambrosie was staving that off and then a TSN guy got into power and is going to lean full force into the CFL being an NFL feeder league.....

There’s a real chance salomonsson sees games with the big club this year.

They gonna eliminate the need for kickers and special teams so basically our O when Strev plays. 4 downs I think might get some major backlash and then in 3 days they will do another pc to announce significant changes. Seems odd tho cuz maybe 40 ppl will tune in Monday at 1 pm where the world is at work coming back from lunch. Dumb time.

There's been a significant lack of scarves in the league since Ambrosie left. New mandate requiring all coaches and executives to wear them at CFL events.

Reading through the CFL “insiders” on Twitter, sentiment seems to be to start preparing for NFL style rule changes.

We getting new footballs. Trust me it’s gonna be something lame. Tsn not carrying the PC so you know it’s nothing overly significant. It’s gonna be something to do with cfl plus since that’s where they having the pc.

Because Streveler.

Hmmm what could this be https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/cfl-to-make-announcement-regarding-significant-changes-to-the-game-on-monday/

Crazy. He’s started 6 game this year. Just barely over 1000 yards passing in those games.

I'd trade any of our QBs for Brown in a heartbeat. If he's not achieving in Ottawa, it's because Ottawa is the forbidden zone of the CFL, there's some weird malaise over the place that prevents the assemblies of talent into teams, and it's been that way since the early eighties.

About time we go metric. 100 Meters instead of 110 yards. It make no difference, but it's more Canadian.

Period over Jets lead 2-0

The whole Luke Wilson complaining about the rules thing has been so weird because of how great most of the (non Bombers) games have been this season.

The thing that 17to85 brought up is, with rules changes... Don't they have a rules committee that has to approve any changes? It all feels so random and out of nowhere...

I love Dru and would still take him back as soon as Zach is done. Both guys, with the right team around them (OL, Weapons, Play calls) can be surgeons out there.

hopefully its to do with changes to the playoff format, 9 teams..just go to one division

Barron opens the scoring for the Jets...by the way I'll be debuting a new meme whenever there are three players in the box

About time the CFL switched to five downs

and after watching that game I have to say my sadness at losing Dru Brown to Ottawa was mostly overcome too, he was hot garbage yesterday.

"... commissioner Stewart Johnston will hold a press conference on Monday, September 22 at 1:00 p.m. EDT to make what the league’s own media release termed “a major announcement regarding significant changes to the game.” It remains unclear what the changes are, when they will take effect, or just how sweeping they will be..."

I can't imagine it being anything outside of maybe some kind of streaming deal , gambling deal, NFL deal where the ratio changes, something of interest but nothing that would completely overshadow the Grey Cup.

I'm guessing the reason they are doing better is because of stability in the coaching and the ability to bring in guys who can play or make the changes they need. I may be wrong but isn't Tre Ford healthy and able to play? The coaches gave him a shot and then transitioned to Fajardo when it wasn't working out.
