Is this ever a guy we should take a run at? I really like Pokey as a receiver but not sure he's a 1A Superstar guy... Would you ever take a run at Hatcher as your #1 and then have Pokey and Demski as 2/3?

 

 

I do not understand the problem that the revised playoff format is attempting to solve.

Every year when the playoffs come I'm glad to be rid of the bottom third of the CFL but now two of those three teams will be hanging around.

A divisional winner might not even get a bye in the playoffs, if they lose the "showdown" game, and they'll lose their home field advantage in the semifinal round if they lose the showdown game. In the past, winning a division vastly increased a team's odds of going to the final, but now? Seems like the regular season is kind of an afterthought here.

I'm not sure why the East always gets the eighth seed in their play-in game while the West gets the seventh seed.

I don't like starting in late May. Too early. You're going to have some lousy training camp weather (see Winnipeg this year). I also don't think you get a lot of fan attention starting May Long. People are focused on other things.

No playoff format is a joke.

Its as if they hired Stewart with a mandate to make things worse.

So the first place team might have to beat the second place team twice to make the Grey Cup?

Guess what. They wouldn’t be making changes if what they have been doing was working. More revenue is the bottom line. CFL audience is aging out. It’s irrelevant what a bunch of older dudes online say and think, it matters what your kid and their kids think. Players liked it cuz they get another game check or 2. Teams like it cuz extra home game or 2. Revenue. Money. Future.

yeah if I heard right about 8 of the 9 teams qualifying (I like those odds for the Bombers though) it is stupid. However I'm not against the season starting early (though that could be a problem if we have a scenario where the Jets are in the playoffs, but we haven't seen the Jets last beyond Victoria Day....except 5 years ago in the adjusted format)
