And without any meanful consultation with the fans (the folks who freight the bill)? Of course, this is the C(sometimes Confused)FL

Walters' greatest sin is in allowing O'Shea carte blanche to hobble the team as he has. Walters has learned nothing from the Willy/Nichols incident.

I'm gonna enjoy this GC week immensely... Even if we're not in it.... And man, it's the last "real" one..... ****. Soak it in while we can.

Everyone needs a second career option in case the first doesn't work out.

wrong thread

was he one of the people who said it was a done deal with the xfl too? It’s honestly been too long. Mid season announcement, I expect any changes put in place to kick in next year. this could be the last grey cup under proper rules if people are right. I sure hope not.

Football fans are aging out of the CFL big time. For Canada the white population which makes up a large majority of the CFL audience are just no longer having kids and families at all. As each generation goes by that rate keeps dropping at a significant rate. Canada has replaced the drop in population via immigration and those folks have absolutely zero interest in Canadian football. 30 years ago when I was a kid the parks were full of kids playing soccer/football and the streets had tonnes of kids playing street hockey. Nowdays they are almost all empty with exception of the East Indian community who are the only ones in my area that utilize the parks and those kids are playing soccer mainly. I'm not sure how you can grow the football game to folks with zero nostalgia or awareness of it. This is why I think Miller has done a great job of making a Blue Bomber home game a fun event. It's an event that can appeal for all ages and the football game is the icing on the cake. I don't believe the invention of an IPad has destroyed interest in the CFL.

league needs to make drastic strides to be more profitable. but short of selling out fixing that is a long hard road. Teams need to take action to grow their market. not many are doing a good job of that. But hamilton, ottawa, montreal and bc should all be able to turn a profit as well. edmonton needs work, calgary needs intervention, toronto needs a miracle.

Rod Pedersen says expect the Americanization to be announced

I like him…. He continues to look good. Stanley still stinks.

I don't think anyone thinks the OC is a genius. Does anyone on these boards even remotely respect or think positively at all about Hogan?

Bet it's not. A new revenue deal would be great but wouldn't constitute "significant changes" (plural) as indicated in the press release. I could see it being related the the kick-off study they did last year but didn't follow through with any changes. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/dave-naylor-cfl-unlikely-to-alter-kickoff-rules-this-off-season-1.2239790

In typical CFL fashion, what a weird way to operate. An announcement of a big change coming in a press conference, in the middle of the season.

Blah blah blah, streveler sucks so I'm going to pretend the OC is a genius just to try and hammer home my dislike for the guy. You're sounding like Booch right now with how much you hate one guy and will twist everything to fit that narrative.

I think significant is really going to mean significant. I can think of one way they’d change things up … 3rd down and 5 or less, you’re not allowed to kick the ball. Field dimensions wouldn’t make sense - logistically too much of a challenge because of the teams that share fields with other teams (see: us) Going to four downs is the easy choice, I don’t think it’s that. If it’s not directly rules related, I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce they’re going to one division. They could technically announce that effective immediately, not that it would make sense.

What were the plays hogan called and which ones did Streveler deviate from. I mean play calling will never be good enough for ppl who don’t know what plays are called. But you can’t complain last week about play calling and then complain this week when what he actually called worked cuz we won the game. Streveler threw 1 interception. That is prob considered a win cuz he’s throwing one every few passes. Limit his passes and he doesn’t throw the game away like last week. Streveler sucks. Zach has never been as incompetent as Streveler was yesterday. Ever. Honestly that was the worst bomber QB ing I’ve ever seen. It might be worst cfl starting qb performance ever. I mean at what point do you realize Streveler just ain’t the guy. Take away the personality and he’s a shitty QB.

Doesn’t matter. No injuries to the actual Jets players is what matters. And in this game there’s maybe 5 or 6 Jets players. Fleury Miller Stan. Gus Barron Koepke Moose gonna be much improved this year tho and that was their goal actually. To give the kids (Chib lamb Yager etc) some talent to play with cuz last year was a mess.

Has the committee met tho. I don’t think so. Osh is on that committee isn’t he. I don’t see him approving that. But could explain his being more easily annoyed attitude recently 4 downs for a team with Brady wouldn’t be awful but… keep it Canadian. it’s revenue related for sure.

Making it into shitty NFL won't win any fans and will only alienate the fans you do have

Play calling sucks when collaros is in there too. Hogan doesn't get any benefit of the doubt. His offense stinks on a lot of levels.

I'm going to be pissed if we add more american rules such as 4 downs or american kicking rules.

well that didn't take long for OT to rear it's head

I’d suggest a streaming deal. Maybe YouTube. Won’t be rules cuz that’s a committee thing. Has to be something to grow the revenue. And rule changes don’t do that. could it be expansion or maybe I’m not sure it makes a difference but going to 1 division next year.

Article from earlier this year where commish says only Winnipeg and Saskatchewan made money last year. That isn’t sustainable as a business model so something has to change. https://globalnews.ca/news/11263497/cfl-commissioner-league-financial-struggles/amp/ This article seems to be around diversifying off TSN. But I wouldn’t call that big changes to the game.

Maybe your boy Streveler is a dumbass or can only run 5 plays consistently
