Canada 🇨🇦 won't have their wonderful captain, Poulin in the
lineup. Saw the game and she certainly tweaked something
in her leg.

I have no prob1em with the proposed fie1d changes if they are indeed to support Canadian expansion and the economic viabi1ity of the 1eague and maintain the ratio etc, but just be honest with us, dont te11 us its to make the game more exciting, because the changes wont

Last post by Jesse - February 09, 2026, 07:22:31 PMObviously a nothing burger of a game, but just like any single CFL game, it should have no bearing of your opinion of the league as a whole at all.
I usually enjoy watching the NFL, but I was on my phone for the part of the game I did watch because nothing was happening.

Last post by blue_or_die - February 09, 2026, 07:13:29 PMQuote from: theaardvark on February 08, 2026, 11:04:55 PMIs the EZ configuration in NFL/NCAA a better design than what is presently used in the CFL? Is it a "better idea"? Regardless tradition, it is a better layout? I guess we will see if it works better.
The field is still 15 yards wider and still 10 yards longer. There is no way to think it could be mistaken for American. And it sounds like the clock won't be changing during the most important time.
If fans have to ask that question because the league has not answered it, that's the problem.

Last post by theaardvark - February 09, 2026, 07:09:12 PMPlaynow had a "Put $20 on the big game, and we'll give you $60 in slots tokens" deal, so I put a sprinkle on the Pats. Free money makes bad decisions.
So, having "skin in the game", I watched the whole thing, including about 25% of the half time.
Having money on the line in a game where the outcome is decided in the first few drives makes for not just a boring game, but a frustrating one.
It was terrible. Yes, if you are a big fan of defence, it was a good game to watch, but zero excitement. No big defensive plays, really. Few sacks, few knockdowns, few INT's until garbage time.
Just solid positional D play neutralizing the O.
Literally nothing to be excited about.
Zzzz...

Last post by bunker - February 09, 2026, 06:53:33 PMIt was pretty bad. I watch NFL occasionally, and that was one of the more boring games I have seen. It was pretty clear by the second quarter that Patriots offense was overmatched trying to deal with Seahawk's D, their O-line in particular, with a fairly green (although talented) QB. I bet my son at half-time that Patriots would get shut out (but lost). I thought the commentary, both play-by-play and colour, was excellent as was the input from the ref analyst. Camera work was great. Skipped the 1/2 time show. I only watch NFL when CFL is not available, for whatever reason, I much prefer CFL.
