CGY 5. EDM 6. MTL 7. BC 8. TOR 9. OTT These do seem to check out, even if only on paper. There could be some variability from 3 through 6, IMO. Being defending champs and having thoroughly manhandled the Cats in the Grey Cup I'd have us at #1 and SSK at #6 or #7 behind CGY, EDM and MTL. I seriously doubt SSK will be able to reproduce their smoke and mirrors show from last year and they are definitely a worse team this year with all the departures. The longer it drifts from the Chris Jones era the lower they will sink.

March 2, 20205 yr comment_465131 Four XFL ideas the CFL should adoptBy Josh Smith - 1) Kickoffs - The rule, which sees the coverage and return teams line up five yards from one another on the receiving team’s 35 and 30-yard lines, respectively, is the future of kickoffs in football. I reject this one.2) Converts - removes the kickers. Teams scrimmage from the three, five, or 10-yard line depending on if they want to go for one, two or three (yes, three) points after scoring a touchdown. Again, I reject this.3) Double forward pass - The gist is that if the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage it can be thrown again, whether the first pass was forward or a lateral. I double object to this one too.4) Transparency- One of the things a lot of CFL fans have complained about is the lack of transparency with most things, but especially with officiating and replay reviews. The XFL opened the door for the CFL to walk through by putting the replay booth on TV, allowing fans to see what goes into making a decision. You might not always agree with the call, but at least we will know why the call was made. It does appear the league is looking into it, which is good. I wouldn’t object to thisThese rules were introduced, IMO, because the NFL has some boring rules and ideas, and these changes try to overcome them. Gimmicky. The CFL has flaws but these measures won’t improve our game. https://3downnation.com/2020/03/01/four-xfl-ideas-the-cfl-should-adopt/ Edited March 2, 20205 yr by Mr Dee

With the video review the CFL would have to move it into the booth rather than have a control centre in Toronto.
March 2, 20205 yr comment_465135 In the event of a tie each team provides one champion who fight to the death at centre field.

March 2, 20205 yr comment_465147 I'd be ok with the double forward pass. With the exception that if it hits the turf (behind the line of scrimmage) it's a live ball.

They are squawking because they feel like they have the best QB since Tom Brady in Fajardo now. Lol. I try and stay reasonable over there, but it's hard to read so much nonsense and delusion without responding. Especially since they usually combat facts from entering their safe space by banning whoever dares disagree that the riders are the best team ever to grace a football field. It really just turns into a rider circle jerk and if dare disrupt that you get cast aside! Lol...its actually fascinating in a sick kinda way.... That being said, there are some quality posters over there, just hard to hear them through all the nonsense sometimes.

March 2, 20205 yr comment_465156 I would take none of the gameplay rules from the XFL. Special teams are a significant part of the Canadian game and should remain so, including PAT’s. I do like the officiating transparency and having more players mic’d up with the play caller to speed up the game and offer teams a better opportunity to use tempo.

Heh... LOTS of attempted forward passes while being hit turned into fumbles with that kind of rule change
March 2, 20205 yr comment_465159 I don't mind the change to point after attempts. The fact is that the 1 point convert is the least interesting play in a football game... generally speaking it only ever gets missed due to the kicker making a mistake (rather than a player on the opposing team making a play). I don't know about 3 point attempts (I think that's too much) - but maybe something like kicking a 1 point should be the equivalent of a 45 yard field goal OR standard 2 point rules OR 1 point attempts from the 1 yard line (I.E. two different ways to go for a 1 pt attempt, kick a 45 yard field goal OR goal line sneak (unreviewable))
