I still hate this so much... f**k rewarding mediocrity, especially in the 1 year contract era where teams can quickly rebuild their roster through Free Agency (like Edmonton and Ottawa have done).

I’m not sure I like playing Ottawa right off the bat though. Them look to be a much improved team. Either it’ll be good to play them to start as they would be still trying to gel as a team or we will have no idea what to expect from them and could end up 0-2. I’d like to think it will be the former though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of **** the CFL needs to clean up. That & 1 year deals but apparently the CFL & CFLPA have no interest in doing so. Didn't we hear from our bufoon of a Commissioner they'd spend the off season trying to do whatever it takes to get fans back? Look into everything from the business model to the fraft to contracts but so far nothing. No surprise. It's nearly March & they haven't even started on a CBA. 1 hour ago, Arnold_Palmer said: Probably the best time to play them to be honest. A lot of new faces.

Every year a team over spends in free agency and most times it fails miserably. Need to have a strong scouting team down south and draft well to become a great team. Not by over paying vets.

And yes, its still a plop lead masoli team. we know how to beat that and excel at it. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
