DR. CFL

The SkyDome does not meet NFL stadium guide  line requirements . Who’s building the new stadium?

Not for the next ten years. at least.

The other interesting aspect is asking a Canadians to contribute when a significant number of the employees are Americans. This will be interesting. If the 2020 season is cancelled are people then getting paid not to work? One of those damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Elliot's problem was that he basically took risks in a lapo offense cause he pushed back against the play safe crap. Blame lapo not the fans.

Who can afford to take a year off work? I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a very large number of players who decide to move on. 

He was a pretty good DC but that was as far as it went. Bill Belichek couldn't have won with that team of slugs in 2013.

The key to Hall’s playoff success was finally playing a REAL safety that could cover.

Sort out the secondary meant finally having a safety that can actually COVER and make plays....significantly lacking for a number of years....sorry Loeffler lovers but he couldn’t cover. 

This seems kind of ridiculous. We allowed what, an average of 14 points a game in the playoffs? I'll take my chances with a guy like that.

DC’s are only as good as the players they are given to use. When Ritchie Hall had no MLB and  no #5 he was a bum....then he gets players and wins the Cup....go figure. Urban Bowman’s quote...”good players make you look good...bad players get’s you fired” RIP Urb.

Yeah..  It truely has mostly to do with trying to increase revenues and interest in the CFL more than it has to do with upgrading talent.  They could always add more americans if the only motivation is talent. The only place where I see it being more about upgrading talent is at the Canadian College level. Less Canadians are playing football and eventually that is going to downgrade the Canadian product. So they are allowing for global players to come up to Canadian College and eventually count as a Canadian.

I do not think that this "global expansion" was all about finding better players. I see that as a bonus if such can be found, but more likely it has to do with advertising. International companieslike Coca cola, Adidas, and Ford are more likely to advertise and pay well for programming that are watched in Europe, Asia, South /America etc.

I'm no expert, but I doubt there is anything in Canadian Labour law that forces Canadian companies to hire X% of Canadian workers. The CFL has the ratio because of it's own rules and because they negotiated X number of Canadians with the union. Changing the number, which happens fairly regularly, requires the players signing off. 

DC in Edm as well as ST 

Arbuckle was leaving no matter what.... if they can get two great picks then that's fantastic. 

If you think Arbuckle is the long term answer at QB, first overall and a third is a steal of a deal. 

With Pat Boivin getting tossed over the weekend, figured something had to be up...

No, it isn’t easy..and mistakes will be made...but the review of those obvious mistakes and missed reviews is what really irks a fan.

The CFL officiating conspiracy theory remains alive....the refs are bias.  Seriously....how many of you theorists have officiated any sport. It isn’t easy and clearly it is a thankless job. See you in Calgary..... 

You cannot ignore the coach he reports to and is supervised by. 

Yeah and two big drops.
