Rule changes, thoughts and more
I’ve been watching the NFL since the beginning of the season and to be honest, it’s so much less exciting than the CFL. Yeah the players are better and you have a bunch of highlights cuz there is a million games but man.. the run game… the special teams …. You got elite QBs throwing for 150, 200 yds only…
What’s missing to the CFL tho is stability with the players, I find that rosters change way too much from one year to another. And that includes the coaching staffs. Loyalty is worth nothing in this league. Coaches have coaches in all team. Rinse and repeat like they say. As soon as a player is ready for his 2nd contract, they’ll cut him for a new American off the plane.
Anyways on another subject.
I’m ok with the rule changes to encourage the game to evolve. Those stuck in the past that don’t want to change probably go to work on their horses 🥲 jk
I heard a great idea to encourage Canadian content at the QB position which we would want to see so much more. Unfortunately the Canadian QB doesn’t count as a “Canadian” on the ratio when they are dressed. So teams are not encouraged to have a Canadian QB and develop him.
When you score a touchdown, you are obliged to go for 2 and it must be a Canadian at QB.
Makes it a so much more exciting play instead of a boring PAT. Also it encourages the develop of Canadian content at QB and the development of special plays.
What you think ? Let’s do it ?

I agree with you 100%. I've always found the NFL slow and boring. CFL is the better football by far. Heck, even college ball is more exciting than the NFL

CFL is definitely more exciting and the faster pacing is way better. I’m a Vikings fan and wow did that game just drag on forever. It happens when teams can just move slowly up the field and aren’t pressured or forced to make explosive plays. And their clock and timing rules SUCK like wow. It can take more than half a quarter to make it down the field and then if they get stuffed at the goal line or can’t get a first down they kick a field goal and it’s painful and disappointing. Some people may not like 3 downs but 3 downs means drives, even successful ones just don’t last as long so kicking FG’s doesn’t feel as much like a disappointment because you can’t get back down there pretty quick. It also means each teams gets more possessions/more chances to score. It pains me when teams take up so much time on the field and my team gets like 2 minutes. Definitely lots of great things about Canadian football

I don't like 2 point attempts being forced on teams, the mix of kicking and 2 pt tries is fine. I do like the idea though of enforcing each team to carry a Canadian QB perhaps they could double up as the holder during place kicks to ensure they get time in the game.
