The PreBanjo Bowl better bring it today. Was watching college football on CBS this morning and they were promoting the game on their ticker all game.

2) People like my family friend , who I'll refer to as "Clay". "Clay" used to go with my brother in law and all their group of fans to Stamps games in the late 00's and up to 2015 or so. It was a big thing they had season tickets together. Now I see him post about how the NFL season is starting so his wife wont hear from him until February. They never go the CFL any more or even watch it as far as I know.

I can not stress this enough. If you love football and you devote your life to the NFL but cant be bothered to support the local product, you suck. I think you're garbage as a fan.
I've gone from being a die-hard CFL fan to basically not following it at all. And my change in interest is heavily tied to the quality of the game dropping.

And in Calgary, you can add to that a terrible facility, and there's just no reason for me to spend $$$ on it.

When I tune in occasionally on TV, the game sucks. Mistake riddled football with horrible quarterback play. Football needs strong QB play to be watchable. The CFL doesn't have that.

That could turn out to be an important rouge if the Bombers go 2-and-out.

This.

Stamps games used to be must watch for me. It wasn’t quite at the level of the Flames but it was close. Now if someone offers me a free ticket to go with them, I desperately seek an excuse not to go.

I haven’t watched a full Stamps game since Covid.

The QB play is absolutely abysmal and there is a lack of legit marketable star quality in the league - particularly on the Stampeders.

It amazes me that the Bombers special teams coach didn't inform the punt returner to not give up the rouge. That's terrible coaching.

Started off slow but holy finish only the CFL can produce.


The idiot roughrider should get 3-4 games for head butting Collaros.

Lol one game isn't going to prove what he said was wrong not sure why needed to make this post.

Overall the QB depth and quality has slowly degraded ti what it is now and it impacts the product.

Just like it takes time to go down the toilet it will take time to get better.

what is dramatic about that statement?


I mean...are you just wishing it would suck so your veiw is validated or something?

What a strange thing to say....particularly because it was a great game.

Heres the deal....if you dont like it...why watch? Why comment at all?

Is it just because you can then jump on a message board and complain about....something?

Cause with you....i would entirely believe it.
