I think it depends on the team. A team like Georgia, who basically had it's entire starting defense drafted in the first four rounds the past 2 years, might wax a CFL team.

Well that's the argument right? That the "best college team would beat the worst NFL team?". That's nonsense to me, but Edmonton in the CFL is dog####, so yeah I could see that Georgia team beating them with ease. The only real argument for the CFL team is whole "men vs boys" thing, but then you see someone like Jalen Carter and is there anyone on Edmonton's OLine who could handle him? Probably not.

Yeah, NFL offensive lines are having enough trouble handling Carter and Davis. Put Nolan Smith, Trayvon Walker, etc., in there and I think it's a bloodbath.

Early in the game and all, but this is looking like a blowout. Packers getting manhandled on both lines.

Defense is getting gashed at every turn....which doesnt matter much when the offense has 1 yard of offense in the 2nd quarter.

Nah the Bears are way worse. But after 30 years of HOF level QB play Packer fans will need to adjust to mediocre (or worse) QB play.

Usually a sign of a good game when one of the teams get their initial first down in the game 23 minutes in via penalty. Packers are getting emasculated here, this is embarrassing from both their lines.

Cowboys-49ers next week on SNF. But man Bears-Washington and Packers-Raiders next week is catastrophically bad.

I don't know if it is the GB coverage but I'm really surprised that Detroit is not targeting St Brown with more passes. It just doesn't make sense to me.

So when do the Broncos join the CFL?

Game on, though that end-of-quarter missed call was a bit inexcusable
