TBURGESS

Collaros now? Lots because collaros looks pretty much toast more often than not. Prime collaros is a different question.

Tom Clements arguably but certainly not definitively. If we are going to talk past Bomber that would make the biggest impact, it's gotta be Milt.

So I am assuming that this thread is dying on Wednesday?? Camp starts on the 6th of May - the offseason is over!!! LFG!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!

Now when Canadians are as patriotic as they have ever been would be a good time for a fun marketing campaign regarding the CFL.
Lego video of cfl teams. Man they missing the boat here. I can see the commercial I just can’t put it together and trust me the kids would love it. Now is the time with I AM CANADIAN actually mattering again. Heck have that dude narrate it. I’m unsure but use people like beiber and reynolds and gosling to promote it even. Gosling is like the most popular actor around. He’s a ******* Canadian. Use him.
Change rules or whatever else, that’s a fun original XFL gimmick but you gotta promote the damn league.

These changes are 'experimental' at best...Only implementing them and a close examination of how things progressed or regressed will give the true picture of success or failure....I'm sure after the 27' season, changes can be made yet again ...The changes that are going to be under scrutiny and deemed to be 'failing' will either be altered or discarded ...Seems to me we will be entering a new phase in CFL operations ..Successful or not fans will have to get used to adjusting to these changes ....I've been around the league for a long time and found that 'major change' is very hard to accept for some.... I'm predicting this may very will be a 'make it' or 'break it' for the league.... time will tell...I just hope to hell the powers that be no what they're doing

In the current system you might play the same team 3 times in the regular season, 1 in the preseason, and 1 in the playoffs. Now it could be 2 in the playoffs. That's exacerbating an already bad situation.
An 18-game season to eliminate 1 team is dumber than an 18-game season to eliminate 3 teams.
Round 1 doesn't eliminate any teams. Think of it as an extra regular-season game, because playoff games should always be win or go home.
Teams 1-6 get a home playoff game either in the first round or the 2nd.
Teams 7-8 get an away game.
Team 9 is a goner.

The playoff format, while stupid, will not be as big of an issue as the 18 game season will remain to be.
Any given season quite likely that almost 1/5 of regular season games will basically be meaningless in September and October for playoff positioning.
The league is too small and the season too long to make this format work.
So they can celebrate having more playoff games, but they will be playing a bunch of games with no stakes, lowered TV ratings and struggle to sell tickets depending on the market.

Round one eliminates 2 teams. The losers of the 5v8 and 6v7 match ups.

Yeah both desktop and the app are working fine for me now.

I like the new playoff format. More football is always welcome. This will immediately give the league more cash which it needs. We complain about the league not doing anything and this is a sure fire way to get more $.
Imo it also points to expansion. 1 team not making the playoffs isnt great optics. But I dont think they make this move unless they're expecting another franchise within a decade.
It also solves the problem of a 7-11 team hosting a 10-8 team in a playoff game.
They've gone from league where 3 teams dont make the playoffs, to 1. That really isnt that big of a deal. 2 home playoff games are possible. Late season games between bottom feeders have some actual meaning now.

This site is really running slow today.
This new playoff format is a complete joke and just awful IMO.
The regular season means absolutely nothing anymore, teams will just coast and rest players near the end of the season because unless you are the bottom you are in. As a loyal fan this pushes me into caring much less on what happens during the regular season. Bad idea. This format would only work if they had at least 3 more teams.
The only good thing is starting the season earlier.

I don’t mind this and playoffs will certainly be interesting

CFL adjusts scheduling, playoff structure set to begin in...
The Canadian Football League (CFL) has finalized updates to the season schedule and reached an agreement with the CFL Players’ Association (CFLPA) on a refreshed playoff format beginning in 2027.

I've got another, "that guy makes Joey Corcoran look fast."

Pretty insulting to monkeys man.....

One day contract so Biggie can retire as a Bomber.

At 6'5" he might be a good idea for the short yardage QB.

Yawn.

Its been a long off season but there's reason to believe that maybe this season will be better than the last.

lol you, me and literally every other literate person here all know that’s not all you said.
You’ve been shitting on this guy for months because his career goals don’t align with your fandom. I hope you can learn to cheer for him and anyone else who chooses to manage their own career
