There's only so much that can be done with the schedule in a nine-team league. I guess being on riderfans.com for a week turned me off having anything to do with that crowd. For this coming season I want the riders in last place from the beginning right to the end, the rivalry ends there for me lol.

The 3rd week was added to take the short weeks out of the season I believe. Otherwise you have teams playing 2 games in ten days or something like that.

December 21, 20186 yr comment_373469 Pre season game does not really matter. We had the two home games against the Riders last year.

Let those damned sodbusters come to our home stadium so we can kick their useless collective asses. Exhibition or regular season, it still sucks.
December 21, 20186 yr comment_373473 We had the bye in the final week in 2014, Ottawa is only going into their 6th season, they should have given it to somebody else. Or if you have the bye in week 1 or 2, you odn't get the bye in week 21. Schedule makers are dumbasses.

So now it's our turn to go there.

I also have never been a big fan of Thursday night games... however what I started doing a few seasons ago was just taking the following Friday off as a vacation day at work, works out nice especially if the game goes really late (such as the home opener last year)...plus then you get a long weekend out of it, turns a negative (dragging your ass into work after a late night from a game) into a positive (long weekend).

It will be nice though to have an extra prep week before the playoffs though. Let’s hope it’s a two week break nah mean?

It’s nice in the nfl the way they get all the bye weeks taken care of I think after week 14 and then everyone plays the last few weeks. It’s great for fantasy playoffs lol

December 26, 20186 yr comment_373737 You cannot compare CFL and NFL schedules. In the NFL you don't play veery team. In the CFL with an odd number of teams, one must be off every week. The third bye was added to avoid the week where 5 games are played and one team has to play twice in 5 days. The current system is actually very good. Having said that, although one team will always get week 1 as a bye and one team will get week 21 as a bye, it would be nicer if the byes were equitable. Having the Bombers get week 2 off, then week 21, is poor planning.

Eighteen games is too much.
