Bison in the CFL

[StL Bison Fan]

I've tried to watch it... but let's just say Bison fans who like to see A gap power ran 6 times in a row are going to be sorely disappointed with Canadian football.

The running forward before the snap drives me crazy. The extra point at kick offs not so much. Review the rules before viewing to stave off confusion.

Just more chances to yell, "Run the damn ball!!!!!" at the TV.....

The only 3 downs drives me nuts the most.

I don't know what the QB position look like for the Red Blacks but that is one seriously bad team. 2-16 last season. It will be interesting to see how the depth chart stacks up in Saskatchewan for Smith. They extended Dressler for another 4 years and Getzlaff is back plus they just traded for a SB/WR. The fans on their board see Ryan as, potentially, one of the 4 main receivers going into the season. I hope they know what they are talking aboot.

Just like if Brock made an NFL team, no different in the CFL...he is a rookie. He may get some playing time (not sure if CFL has preseason..sorry) but give it time and I am sure he will show what's he's got.

CFL teams have two preseason games. GMs can be very quirky. I have seen FCS champion players go from being CFL players of the week to camp bodies the next year.

StL Bison Fan...c'mon I coached HS football in Canada and NC. The motion isn't that bad to deal with, neither are the three downs. Would love to see some of our American friends come up and tailgate for the game. Might even be able to find some San Miguel, too.

I could live with the motion if I had San Miguel!

my wife and I actually attended the Saskatchewan -RedBlacks game this past Sept. in Regina(visiting daughter)- beautiful day - atmosphere was awesome - crowd in into it. the Redblack QB was excellent actually. game went to OT(Roughs won)
.RedBlacks are expansion team I think- they lost lots of close games, Dressler was the hero of the game no doubt. In Oct. - went to Vikes VS Lions - terrible game and atmosphere. Enjoyed the CFL much better in '14 anyway..

Drove by the Edmonton Eskimos stadium this week. Verrrry nice place.
Grew up watching CFL football and really enjoyed it. Even played a couple HS games up there. I do agree tho that the 3 downs thing is shitty.

He played for a few different teams.

Never Winnipeg.
