Panthers, Lightning combine for 4 ejections in 1st period of exhibition

So new commish but same old CFL when it comes to some things. They weren't happy about the GC halftime show being announced in 2023 until late September so they committed to earlier announcements. A year later, here we are in early October and crickets. Too busy trying to Americanized the game I guess.

Haven't been able to post or visit mbb much this year. Just glancing over some of the comments. People hating on Walters??? How quickly the tides turn around here...
Should've signed a serviceable back up though. I thought strev had it. He doesn't. You'd think they'd be able to evaluate that
Not exclusively - there's enough hate to go around!

So are we going to do anything with the expanded practice roster this year?
FWIW, Google AI says we used our expansion window in August when we added guys like Moore, Houston & Echols.

Mitchell already having his best game of the year by far. Good to see him figuring things out.
I didn't not have Dillon Mitchell being more impactful than Bo Levi Mitchell ony bingo card for this game.

The automatic time starts as soon as the previous play is blown dead, which could allow an effective hurry-up or no-huddle team to paralyze defenses.
Doesn't this assume the officiating crew can promptly get the ball placed quickly? That delay/inconsistency was the reason given for the change but unless I'm missing something, that can still be an issue (except now the clock is automatically running).

The vast majority of the calls were people screaming blue murder and Osh told them they should let the team and the league know exactly how they feel.
Yes, he is on the rules committee... Which were not consulted at all.... And that's a huge part of why he's pissed, I'd bet.
He acknowledged that some of the changes had been brought up with the rules committee in the past but yeah not a whole lot of consultation was done (if any). I'd like to be a fly on the wall for the next meeting between MOS & Wade since they seem to be very opposed on this issue.

Good on rourke, agree with him.
Madanis article is putrid.
Wade supporting it isn’t a surprise but still a disappointment. But it sounds like they didn’t consult usports at all which is criminal.
This is what we get for having a tsn cronie run the league.
Had to laugh at Wade's comments. Coaches are going to have to be more aggressive eh?
It's very ironic coming off an 8 pass game and running a team that routinely trots out their kicker for long range FG's. Like he does he watch the Bombers?

Read through the changes pretty quickly but I think I like all of these proposed changes. Just wondering what Cody Fajardo will hit now?
Maybe a bird flies in and gets nailed.... it's happened in other sports!

Is there room in Hamilton Ottawa Montreal to change field dimensions. There is here. We hosted a pre season nfl game but the east?
Why wouldn't there be? If they are trying to go more like the NFL (even if not exactly the same), they'd be going smaller not bigger. It might actually be a better fit in some of those stadiums - smaller would mean Montreal no longer has to have end zones with the corners cut off.

Because it’s the cfl. That’s why. I think it’s likely revenue related. If it’s on field it’s replay RTP or something they could introduce today. Why announce changes when there’s 5 games left. Could be as simple as starting the season earlier even. Major on field changes being announced but then not implementing them until next season seems like a dumb thing right now. Why not wait till season over. If it’s on field it’s something they can introduce immediately without really effecting things. You can’t rip up fields In 4 days.
I can't see them doing major changes in-season (the CFLPA would have to sign off on that) but giving people lots of time to digest how the new CFL game looks (like changing field dimensions) isn't a bad thing. No matter what they do, people are going to complain so why not get it out of the way now and say "hey in 2026, this is what the CFL is going to look like". It's odd timing to do an announcement regardless of when they plan to implement the changes but CFL is going to CFL.

it’s revenue related for sure.
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.

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...
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.

Yeah that's an option too. The simplest explanation though is simply that the receiver was on the wrong spot because who designs a play to put a receiver and a db in the way of someone else? To me if Wilson takes his route deeper into the endzone that's probably a td pass.
A vastly under qualified OC using the old junior varsity playbook he created years ago in Quebec?
