You can argue that teams like the Steelers, Patriots, Colts, Eagles, Packers have been playing 17/18 game seasons for the last decade and those teams come back the next year and continue to make the playoffs.
Your last couple posts remind me of people in phoenix trying to explain hockey to me. Cfl is rec league sandlot football compared to the NFL. The collisions are smaller and far less frequent in the cdn game.

An 18 game league can only decrease the quality of ball and saying it's ok by using the cfl as a proxy makes zero sense
