The problem with the CFL is they're like a bunch of ostriches. BOG's stuck their heads in the ground ignoring all the issues that caused fans to quit watching & attending games. Thinking that everything will just magically fix itself. Well, these problems never left & half a century later, the league is in a steep decline. Now, they have to do things we never thought possible even a few months ago. It's like the guy who feels a bump in the wrong place & doesn't see a doctor because he's afraid he may have cancer. The problem is, if he doesn't see a doctor because he's scared & it is cancer, he'll have even more problems later. If he sees a doctory & tumour is disgnosed early, treatment may save his life as it was spotted early. Ignoring symptoms will cause more problems than actually seeing the doctor. That's the CFL for you. Ignoring a problem leads to even more problems down the road.

There are many questions that need answering first. What about the ratio? The timing of the season between the 2 leagues? The UFL starts training camp in February. We start in May. Spring in Canada isn't spring, especially in Western Canada.. it's still winter & bloody cold. Then there's the number of games the CFL plays. If we drop to 10 then most CFL players will be released as the revenue to pay these contracts will no longer be there as its based on 18 games. The UFL wants to be done by July. We want to be done mid November. Getting an agreement done for a merger with the UFL will be impossible with the CFLPA as it means the probable end of the ratio. They'll strike or take court action. So, I don't think a merger will be that easy. I don't believe for a second a merger is done. Down the road, maybe? The UFL said it's looking to expand to 16 teams by 2030. So, yes, it could happen. However. there's a lot on both sides to overcome.

I don't think he has confidence in his OL for pass pro. I think he has the yips.

What a terrible first game of the double header. You knew after Arbuckle went down the game was over although Doege did show signs he may develop into a decent CFL qb someday. Instead of fans worrying about losing the 55 yard line maybe they should worry that the CFL has no plans to get rid of the coaches & mgmt salary cap which is truly hindering player development & quality of play in the CFL.

Noeller's street cred as a UFL Insider is right up there with Daffy Duck. How can the UFL playing 10 games from March to July in mostly the Sun Belt States merge with the CFL playing18 games from June to November?

You know this, how??

When I watch Ouelette play, how can a back run for over 1,050 yards so far & look so useless doing it. He's really no threat as a back. Brady is going to catch & pass him unless Hogan ***** it all up with his playcalling. I still think Brady can be the leading rusher in the CFL.

Just a chronic culture of losing.

The thing is Burke gave Dycw an extension & you have to ask why?? Dyce is a terrible head coach. He's never had a winning season as a HC & somehow he merited an extension??? Why???? With the coaches cap, the RedBlacks are handicapped. They can't get rid of him. Burke has truly built a losing culture in Ottawa. They need a housecleaning in Ottawa. Neither of them win. That's the problem.

I do. The day they're fired, I'll go to the liquor store & buy me Glenfiddich 12 year old single malt whiskey & crack it open to celebrate. Twelve seasons of this **** is more than enough. Both are old, tired & soft. Making questionable decisions. They're winning this season despite themselves because there's still enough veterans paying well enough to get the job done. I can see us finishig 9-9 or 10-8. However, another off season like the last where Walters does sweet piss all, Osh with his roster favouritism & just watch the Bombers fall off a cliff next season.

Please tell us what Walters actually did this past off season or what he's tried to do to improve the team considering we're hosting The Grey Cup? Please tell us the crackerjack job Osh has done with the team always fielding the best roster possiblle. Please tell us how the same 2 people running the show are suddenly going to solve the problems they created??

Thank Hogan for Oliveira getting ignored. Busy day for Walters. He must have been exhausted.

You finally see it our way.

Could take up to a year before fully healed. He may not be back before Xmas.

It's not just Mauldin. It's the last couple of seasons. Both Osh & Walters have no contract next season.

If we keep Walters expect another useless off season of non signings & defections. Not much of a risk to trade for Mauldin. He'd have helped us for a playoff run. We could have had the guy for a fourth rounder. Now we lose Jones. Walters has to go.

Same for Zach. The play by play announcer for the Ti Cats back in 1972-75 is a member of my Facebook page CFL History. Ealey was a very good passer until he came to Winnipeg. He told me that Ealey suffered a shoulder/arm injury in 1973 before he was traded to the Bombers. The Ti Cats kept it a secret so when the Bombers traded Don Jonas for Ealey they never knew of the injury. It took him over 2 years to recover so he was just about healed up when he was traded to Toronto a year later. It would explain why Ealey played so badly as a Blue Bomber. You'd think the Bombers would have done a physical so I don't know why Ealey's injury was never discovered. Then again, the GM at the time Earl Lunsford was so upset with Jonas criticizing him in the media at the time. I think Lunsford would never have voided that trade & just didn't care. Out of spite Lunsford wanted him out of Winnipeg.

Laura Diakin is a much more superior host. She's a true professional who seems to understand the game better than Kate. She should be the full time host.

Then you have Marshall Ferguson gushing about the Bills telling viewers they're his favourite team. Imagine an announcer doing a CFL game saying he cares more about the NFL than the league he covers.

We have the nicest uniforms in the CFL but we refuse to wear them. I put that on th equipment manager who probably gets to pick the color combos. Whoever makes these decisions can be summed up in one sentence, "You must not be drinking enough".

Don't agree. Streveler can stay on the sidelines. he is what he is... a gadget qb.

What? No way Osh would do that. The difference between Zach & Strev at qb is like watching someone jump off a 1500 m cliff. We're hooped if Zach gets hurt going into the playoffs. The need to find a veteran backup qb next season who can actually throw.

If Wheatfall comes back keep him at wide receiver & move Clercius inside permanently. No speed but huge target who'd thrive at slot.

Did you see the look on Brady's face after Streveler scored our last TD? He didn't look happy at all. I think he expected to carry the ball. Even though it was an RPO.

I remember that game. That was Ealey's last game as Bomber QB. He was traded to the Argos & the Dieter Brock era began.
