Here's Nye's article, which I tend to agree with. https://www.cfl.ca/2020/03/04/nye-time-change-rouge/ I can see this. But I don't necessarily it would improve the game at all. What about games where a rouge would tie and send it into OT? I wouldn't be upset if they made the changes Nye is suggesting. I just don't think it's necessary.Â

I mean it's something they could try for a year and if I doesn't work out , we simply go back to the way it was. Yeah I see what you mean. There are endless scenarios here...hah

I totally agree with this - after the first punt it becomes so chaotic that the most likely outcome is a no-yards penalty... which is really unfortunate.

But, what about the rugby roots? Next you are going to be saying that players should be allowed to wear shoulder pads and that a forward pass should be legalized.

We can also talk about hypothetical rules changes that gets everybody arguing with each other. Like the cfl should remove the yard off the ball rule.

The field is already 100 metres long anyway... would be an easy conversion. Get on it Randy!!

It's just an excuse to bring up the 13th man penalty again because the Riders live rent free in a lot of Bomber fans heads. Captain Contrarian is back.  And this time... it's personal

March 6, 20205 yr comment_465774 4 hours ago, TBURGESS said: Driving the ball 105 yards then fumbling or throwing an interception or missing a FG and the ball going through the end zone without being touched, should all have the same result... Zero points. It's not the drive that matters, it's the failure at the end of the drive that matters. You may have failed to get the FG but you didn't fail to get the ball through the end zone. It's not nothing. You still hit it with enough power to get it through. 1 point. Had you been more accurate, 3 points. 4 hours ago, TBURGESS said: If you kick off and the ball goes through the end zone without being touched, you get no points, despite the fact that kicking a ball through the end zone is a huge kick. Why should you get a point if you kick it through the end zone from closer in? Because one is a scoring play and one isn't. The scoring play is a result of driving the ball and getting good enough field position to attempt to score. You still have to snap it, block, hold it, spin away the laces, and then kick it with enough power and accuracy to score. If anything goes wrong you get 0 points or worse. The kick off isn't a scoring play. It's an obligation to put the ball in play by kicking it to the other team. It is actually a scoring play for the other team. HUGE difference.

This was his biggest star when he was the starting QB for the Riders! Air Canada was said at least a 100 friggin times every stinkin game. Ol Rod really thought they had a star. Air Canada, what a joke.Â
March 6, 20205 yr comment_465778 Ryan’s value cannot be determined by his punting alone. For once, Rider fans have an alternative to Pilsner Beer. Whenever he’s successful, there’s in a surge in orders at the bars for Ryan cokes.. Perfectly logical. (I’m watching Star Trek)
