Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
55 percent of Canadians have no interest in the cfl and that won’t change because rouges are basically eliminated and the field is shorter. If you want more interest and in turn more revenue you need to put a team in QCity and the maritimes. Easier said than done. CFL will never be the NFL ever. NFL Is on its own really. No other sports are close. Honestly I think I saw something that said the only comparable to the superbowl in terms of how much $$$ it brings to the local economy and that stuff is WWE WrestleMania. That’s wild. cfl will never be that tho but unless we join the USA the cfl is our NFL really meaning that it’s the highest level of football played in the country. Market it better for corks sake. It’s an affordable family friendly part of our Canadian MF’ing heritage. I don’t want to be a bastardized version of the nfl.

Wade is busy during games. O’Shea probably isn’t allowed to say his take cuz he’d need a go fund me after to likely cover his fine. Rourke will be fined also. I also think maybe O’Shea is finished after this season. Like he calls it a bomber career. Maybe he coaches elsewhere but probably not right away.

The Temu NFL is born. But I’ve used Temu so let’s gooooooooo like I really don’t think these changes are much and certainly don’t see it drawing new fans if that’s the end goal. streaming would maybe draw new fans. Imagine crave or even Amazon or Netflix picked it up. Huge revenue potential. I’m not sure how this helps the Montreal Toronto's and sorts. Just ******* with the on field while MLSE sits there and goes buffalo argonauts Toronto bills. Yes.

You don’t know me. Honestly. You think you do for some weird obsessive online bully reason but you don’t. Get a new one. Your gimmick is tiring.

That’s wild. Quebec only has the als. Not as popular as thought. Maritimes has no teams. I mean. BC is BC. Toronto wants to be the USA very bad. And you can’t change that.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
55% of Canadians don’t really follow the CFL- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
How do cfl numbers compare to nfl numbers in Canada. ? Is the nfl games on Thursday and Sunday drawing like way more Canadians than the cfl does? Cuz young ppl like soccer and hockey. And Roblox and iPads and anime and things like this, comics are extremely popular. Card collecting. Shoe collecting. I’m not sure this draws any young person. Have Taylor Swift do half time at the grey cup.in Winnipeg. She’s a fan of Winnipeg (I have a pic of me and her when she wasn’t as famous but still famous ) and collaros and Kelce are buds so make it happen if you wanna draw the young ones. But this might work cuz some of the diehards are pissed and young ppl like pissing off older people.- Jets Preseason thread 2025
He’s a good depth guy but can’t see him playing every game. I see Salo, Ville and miller being waived. Ville or miller will be claimed.- Jets Preseason thread 2025
Josh Demelo Sammy pionk fleury miller Stanley Schenn salo heinola they will keep 7 maybe 8 d max. Salo is waiver exempt so he’s on the moose for now. so 2 more. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Schenn traded back to Nashville unless his family came here (doubt it) but if not 2 of Stanley ville (likely 1 of the 2) Schenn or miller will be waived also. Or traded. maybe 3 if they only keep 7 D.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Well more like for missing the net completely and putting it in the 5th row.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Right but nobody returns 1 kicked out of bounds so he can still return the short ones I guess. But moving the posts yeah, that’s about it. Can the legs and whytes kick 50 yd fgs now. Isn’t a 40 yard become 50 now? So 30 yards is now a 40 yd fg. Kickers will come up short.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
No it’s not. It’s still there. He can return a miss for a TD but a miss won’t be worth 1 point if it sails through the end zone. Essentially eliminating the point given to missing the fg unless ball carrier trying to return (Vaval) is tackled in end zone. in my mind this ain’t significant at all and will draw no new viewers.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/cfl-announces-changes-to-playing-surface-modified-rouge/ don’t see anything overly terrible. 35 seconds clock running immediately is ok. The length is fine. Sucks for us cuz we kick 500 fgs a year. But it makes sense. Don’t hate the single being removed.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
True enough. My bad. I’m not sure why I thought that.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Is there room in Hamilton Ottawa Montreal to change field dimensions. There is here. We hosted a pre season nfl game but the east?- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
O’Shea sees himself in Jake. A Canadian who has played a long long time. O’Shea didn’t go out on his own terms did he. Maybe he thinks Jake should. I think it’s probably that simple. It’s about having respect for the veteran but not having the heart to tell him it’s over cuz maybe O’Shea didn’t know when it was over for him. But he did release him years ago. Brought him back but did let him go so I’m not sure. Intangibles I guess. But I’m not sure we losing games cuz of Jake honestly. We losing cuz our O sucks.- Jets Preseason thread 2025
I’m gonna be checking out a few moose games this year as the young daughter likes them so got a little mini pack. Plus obviously some jets games but moose pretty fun for the kids so I’m excited to see Yager chib salo lambo he Wagner in person.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Because it’s the cfl. That’s why. I think it’s likely revenue related. If it’s on field it’s replay RTP or something they could introduce today. Why announce changes when there’s 5 games left. Could be as simple as starting the season earlier even. Major on field changes being announced but then not implementing them until next season seems like a dumb thing right now. Why not wait till season over. If it’s on field it’s something they can introduce immediately without really effecting things. You can’t rip up fields In 4 days and I’m not even sure Hamilton and Ottawa have the room.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Then again normally when ppl announce significant changes it’s not with 5 games left so if it’s immediately implemented then it’s 100 percent replay related. It’s something to do with replay or roughing the passer penalties cuz honestly you can change rules all you want but a significant change is protecting the starting QBs cuz nobody paying to see backups play. Thats a league wide problem and would make sense. Or AI reffing.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Personally I think revenue is unique to each market. There isn’t anything they can do to all of a sudden make 30000 ppl go to game’s in toronto. Same with Calgary and whoever else not Winnipeg or Saskatchewan rules? There’s 5 or 6 games left. Field size? That is more work than people think and would cost money. 1 division actually might make the most sense here. Or it’s a merger but that ain’t gonna go well. I think going American when ppl dislike everything American right now would be the beginning of the end here. Read the room guys. We avoiding the USA. We don’t want to be them currently also what works here may not work elsewhere. Wade has created a social like environment centered around a football game cuz the soccer team ain’t drawing ****. Meanwhile in Toronto the soccer team draws but the cfl team don’t. We need a person who lives in torontos perspective to fix that mess.- 3 stars plus hh offensive offence
What were the plays hogan called and which ones did Streveler deviate from. I mean play calling will never be good enough for ppl who don’t know what plays are called. But you can’t complain last week about play calling and then complain this week when what he actually called worked cuz we won the game. Streveler threw 1 interception. That is prob considered a win cuz he’s throwing one every few passes. Limit his passes and he doesn’t throw the game away like last week. Streveler sucks. Zach has never been as incompetent as Streveler was yesterday. Ever. Honestly that was the worst bomber QB ing I’ve ever seen. It might be worst cfl starting qb performance ever. I mean at what point do you realize Streveler just ain’t the guy. Take away the personality and he’s a shitty QB.- Jets Preseason thread 2025
Doesn’t matter. No injuries to the actual Jets players is what matters. And in this game there’s maybe 5 or 6 Jets players. Fleury Miller Stan. Gus Barron Koepke Moose gonna be much improved this year tho and that was their goal actually. To give the kids (Chib lamb Yager etc) some talent to play with cuz last year was a mess. - Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
