CFL season cancelled

CFL season cancelled … For those that get their news out of Canada via dog sled express, the Canadian Football League cancelled its 2020 season after it failed to get financial support from the federal government. Unlike the NFL or the NHL, CFL teams don’t get rich from TV revenue and are very much dependent on gate receipts to survive. And there are no guarantees that the league will survive through to 2021, although it has been through some tough times before. Meanwhile, the Canadian college football season was cancelled weeks ago along with all fall sports.

For all of you waiting to see the Toronto Argonauts play this year I have some bad news.  Now none of it's players have to freeze their balls off for 50,000 a year.

These smaller “semi-pro” type leagues rely a lot more on gate so this was to be expected.

yeah.. CFL might not recover from this which is really to bad. There are a lot of hardcore CFL fans up here that will argue that despite the talent gap, the CFL is a better game in general. Im not on that train but there are definitely things that the CFL does better than the NFL (video replays for one..)

I have a longtime friend in Sasketchewan and have watched their team play in the Grey Cup a couple times over the internet with her. The wide receivers being able to get a running start towards the LOS before the play is one of the most obvious and striking differences. It's definitely an interesting change of pace but you can tell the talent level just isn't close to the same as NFL starters.

The talent gap is there for sure. Yet its also a different type of talent. 

Byt yet when Rickey Williams played in the CFL he was no good. Yet the following yet he went back tot he NFL and did ok.. so its just different..

      panthers offense 30 of 32 in yards per play

      Doesn't it get tired just arguing the same point over and over no matter what's happening?  It was posted as a way to bash Bryce, someone says all the offenses that run very often are near the bottom.  Then it erupts in to the same people making comment after comment about how bad bryce is.  There is no conversation, there is no dialogue, there's no football talk that doesnt just devolve in to how bad Bryce is.  There are other conversations about the team that could be had.

      The Texans and Chiefs will still find a way to win their divisions.

      On NFL Power Rankings we have moved up from last place to the 21slot we jumped 8 points the Saints are in last place now   Rank 21 8     Carolina Panthers 1-2 Three of the Panthers’ seven victories with Bryce Young starting at quarterback have come against Atlanta. He’s 3-1 against the Falcons and 4-25 against the rest of the league, which is strange, but no one is going to sneeze at a 30-zip whooping after the uninspired 0-2 start. In the first 96 minutes of the season, the Panthers were outscored 53-13. Since then, it has been a 49-0 edge for Carolina. They certainly feel like a more confident operation right now, especially defensively. There are still some warts that could come out against stronger teams, but this suddenly doesn’t look close to the worst defense in the league. Chau Smith-Wade had a pick-six, Mike Jackson added a pick and Christian Rozeboom and A’Shawn Robinson were highly disruptive. This might not be the 1985 Bears, but the Panthers’ no-name defense has come alive.   NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions and Chargers vault into top five, while Colts crack top 10
