This league needs to clean this stuff up. Dirty hit on Mitchell last night and the cheap shot tonight. The league can't afford to be losing star players to dirty hits.

To me there's absolutely no excuse not to eject him for the rest of the season for that clear intent to injure.

I get insanely angry about those hits, because as a bantam football coach, whenever I see a hit like that, and don't see the player tossed or made an example of I minus 5 from any new players coming out to play football.

Why, because it feeds right into the parents fear that football is a brutal game where players get multiple concussions and year and suffer long lasting brain damage.

We don't get a chance to defend out program, or what we do in terms of teaching safe contact and how to play the game right because we never see these kids.

The CFL and the NFL are entirely losing the public relations battle and it creeps down to out level.

When youth football in Canada is gone, and it will vanish, I'll be able to say thanks a lot to the pro football players who go out and lead with their heads, or who blind side, or hit below the knees in the box, and then get up and celebrate that enormous on the edge hit while TSN crows about how awesomely physical that play was.

Part of me thinks that the only way that the game can be saved is if the CFL loses its concussion lawsuit in a devastating fashion and starts taking this stuff seriously.

Sorry fellas, it just pisses me off.

Yeah. We made a decision as parents our son won't play football. It's a not worth the risk and that will only compound over the decades. Football as a sport is on its way out imo. Which is sad.

Football isn’t on its way out as college football in the US is too big but in Canada it’s going to be a struggle. The CFL of all leagues needs to recognize this before it gets to the point where only American kids will be playing and the ratio will have to be scaled back to only a small handful of Canadian players per roster. Also the commentators on TV need to be more responsible with their comments as we have seen Dunnigan (of all people) blow off head shots, Forde calling that low hit on Mitchell a clean hit, etc. These guys also need to realize you can’t play the game the way they used to in their playing days.

I will never understand why when it's 3rd down and inches that a team would use the shotgun formation and snap the ball to the QB four yards back of the line of scrimmage.

Medlock is 2-for-2 on hitting the uprights on his FG attempts - First one hit the upright and bounced away no good, second hit the upright and dropped over the bar for 3 points.

That was not roughing the passer, but a nice strip by Fogg combined with terrible clock management and the Lions come away with no points.

People will #### on Nichols for the INT but the receiver needs to make that catch.
