Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

[Goalie]

Personally I think revenue is unique to each market. There isn’t anything they can do to all of a sudden make 30000 ppl go to game’s in toronto. Same with Calgary and whoever else not Winnipeg or Saskatchewan 

 

rules? There’s 5 or 6 games left. Field size? That is more work than people think and would cost money. 1 division actually might make the most sense here. Or it’s a merger but that ain’t gonna go well. I think going American when ppl dislike everything American right now would be the beginning of the end here. Read the room guys. We avoiding the USA. We don’t want to be them currently 

 

also what works here may not work elsewhere. Wade has created a social like environment centered around a football game cuz the soccer team ain’t drawing ****. Meanwhile in Toronto the soccer team draws but the cfl team don’t. We need a person who lives in torontos perspective to fix that mess.

Then again normally when ppl announce significant changes it’s not with 5 games left so if it’s immediately implemented then it’s 100 percent replay related. It’s something to do with replay or roughing the passer penalties cuz honestly you can change rules all you want but a significant change is protecting the starting QBs cuz nobody paying to see backups play. Thats a league wide problem and would make sense. Or AI reffing.

I honestly don’t know why you think that they’d be holding a press conference on a Monday morning to announce replay changes.

This is obviously a much bigger deal than you’re making it out to be.

It's going to be something dumb like... end zones reduced to 15 yards, uprights moved to back of the end zone and no rouges on balls that go out of the end of the end zone.

15 yard end zones still keeps them unique. Uprights at the back of the end zone means teams that were kicking from 45 yards have to make it to the 30. No rouges out the back of the end zone gets rid of the weird bitching about missing field goals for the win. End zones 140 yards apart might make it easier logistically for shared stadiums with Soccer or to attract sideshow NFL games for... whatever reason.

I would be fine with almost all of these changes. Although when you change a bunch of things at once it is always hard to tell which ones are working.

They're messing with a game that needs mo messing with. They need to do things to make the game better by getting rid of the coachss cap. Marketing needs to be better on a ntional level. Those 2 areas need addressing. Not moving the goal posts to the backof the end zone.  So, I agree.

For a league that wants to up the scoring if they do that, it'll kill it. Why do I think the boys & girls from Genius Sport are behind this? 

I certainly hope they get rid of the coaches cap.  It was a dumb idea to begin with.  However, I have a feeling the “major announcement” will be much more than that issue.

Its clear that they have signed sponsorship deals with Enron and Nortel. Its going to be huge.

[voodoochylde]

Could be a new broadcasting / streaming partnership?  🤷‍♂️

[blue85gold]

Could be something big. Could also just be some bs AI partnership announcement or something like that.

What are you going to do?  Call that person up to confirm one way or another?  Either believe the information or don't but for the love of God ... let it go.

I dont owe u jackshit....especially with your continued nonsense

maybe some will reach out to you themselves if they feel you are worth the time and effort....Nobody here needs validation...especially from you, or to appease you and your theories

I said numerous times I wont say names for most part, especially names of other posters...Trust...confidentiality and respect is paramount in my opinion....but of they who know wanna offer up any info to you to make you feel just a tad better...giver....maybe it will tone down your constant rhetoric and denial of things I say....either way it doesn't really matter to me....Some posters make it entertaining as heck for me and would almost ruin the pleasure on my end...
