Significant changes to the game to be announced tomorrow morning

[Moose Head]

Quite honestly, I think the dull offence is all about play calling and personnel. I remember a year when people were saying Ricky Ray was a boring QB who only cared about his completion percentage. All he did was "dink and dunk" to Calvin McCarty...

The most concerning thing about all of this is that the Commish didn't squash the idea of 4 downs. I will say this for certain: they already changed the name of our football team. I'm not happy about it but I'm still here. If you change to 4 downs, I'm...

I don't think the changes make much difference either, and that's kind of my point. But I get what you're saying....

Okay, with some time to digest, I'm pretty much where I was at yesterday. Outside of the modified rogue, I still fail to see how the rule changes enhance the game. If these changes are being implemented to attract new fans, it's misguided. Are the rules...

I asked around about this and was told taking out the 55 yard line was to promote offence. I countered with: recruiting better QBs is a better solution....

I can count on one hand where teams did that in all my life of watching football. And I can’t ever recall it happening in a playoff game. I could be wrong. And to be clear, not every change is bad. The modified rouge is a good change, IMO....

I love this league. And sometimes it’s hard to love this league. Imagine trying to promote it to young people who didn’t grow up loving this league. Today doesn’t help....

For what it’s worth, Farhan just said Nathan Rourke thinks the rule changes are “garbage” and isn’t impressed with the new commish. And based on Sean Whyte’s Twitter post, he isn’t thrilled either. Oh boy. This is the start of something....

[Moose Head]

I like the modified rouge. Really dislike shortening the field. I'm indifferent to the other changes. Will need time to process...

[Moose Head]

The fact that they are announcing changes now makes me think the changes will be immediate. Any changes for next year would be announced during Grey Cup week or after. I really, really hope the CFL doesn't make a huge mistake.

[Moose Head]

Anyone care to speculate what rules and why now?

[Moose Head]

That's good. But he's still a dim witty....
