CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
That was my first thought too, but if you'll recall, they tried to bring in many other before Jeffries, but no one would accept the position. No one wants to sign on for a team that's going to fire everyone at the end of the year.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
He certainly could. I just don't know how hurt he is or if he needs to wait for an injury settlement with the NFL to go through first.

1. The one possibility would be to sign late in the year for a situation like that. Or perhaps jumping on with a play-off bound team with an injured starter.

Dave Naylor is speculating that the injury will prevent his CFL return right now but next year is looking likely.

Week 9 - Lions @ Blue Bombers - GDT
For 2 years, It thought he should retire. The last three times he got a job, I was astounded. And each time he got another injury and was out long-term, there was that sadistic satisfaction of saying, I knew it, now he's done. Then another team would sign him. Blew me away. For him to come back from all of that, and have the success he's had? Just incredible. Now, all that said, I don't remember any negativity from the initial thread. It was a mix of, thankfully we found someone and some shrugs because of the perennial injuries. Most of the debate happened after 2019 - when the question became - do we bring him back?

Proposed Annual CFL Schedule
No one is arguing they should. But you are trying to say that doing the opposite - taking away games - will somehow lead to increased attendance and revenue. It's a completely unreasonable take.

Proposed Annual CFL Schedule
None of these have the slimmest chance of happening. Less game = less people = less money. Literally every sport is adding games, increasing amount of teams that make play-offs, to create more games to create more money.

Proposed Annual CFL Schedule
1. I don't see why this would happen. Why would more people go to games? 2. You can do this anyway? 3. This may add a couple of thousand people over 5 total games - with no increase to TV numbers. You're going to sacrifice 100's of thousands of people over multiple weeks of missed games and lose TV dollars.

Proposed Annual CFL Schedule
And that's a place where they absolutely could/should. Play-offs are two months long and into the summer. I can't hold interest for that long. Craziness. But they won't, because games = money.

Proposed Annual CFL Schedule
I'd like to hear how you can "maximize revenue" that makes up for 3 games of attendance, concessions, and TV revenue. The NFL is adding games for this reason. And again, I don't know why anyone would want less games. I certainly don't.

You would sacrifice so much revenue in a move that would be almost universally hated.

Week 9 - Lions @ Blue Bombers - GDT
The answer to this problem - like so many others - is more money. Also the stuff Noeller said - it's so hard to recruit and train refs. People are brutal to them from the grassroots on up.

3 stars plus hh bc sucks the revenge
Marry BC - our kids would dominate the league until the end of time. F**k Toronto - both meanings of the F bomb are appropriate. Kill Sask - dirty ingrates.

He has had some bad games. The team is just good enough and most of the rest of the league is bad enough where it doesn't matter.

I noticed Rose talking lots of smack most of the night.

Week 9 - Lions @ Blue Bombers - GDT
My concerns aren’t just in-game, but season long. You can pretend certain players aren’t injury prone if you want, but over the course of a 20+ game season, wouldn’t you want a guy like Jeffcoat to stay as fresh as possible? Hopefully Haba comes back relatively soon. At least they trusted him to be out there. A lot of the roster management stuff I talk about is on Walter too. We needed quality DEs in camp the last two years and it’s pretty bad that the one guy on the roster came after camp was already over. Our PR is filled with guys who will never play. Walters wears that too. EDIT: I obviously say that while prayer to my Trinity shrine every night, recognizing that we have been blessed with - by far - the best coach and GM in the league. These are complaints from a place of privilege that I feel I’ve earned from not seeing a Grey Cup win in my lifetime until in my 30s.

This is the most uneasy I’ve ever felt this year and I’m still pretty confident in a win.

Unless we can show we can hang with BC and Toronto, we are not in the top tier with them like we've all been saying all year.

BC has 9 guys on their DL.
