GA Russell Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Dana, I don't think the quality of play has yet recovered from the forced layoff of the 2020 season. Did you watch that game's video highlights? 2 hours ago, danasgoodstuff said: That would be the CFL in a nutshell.

danasgoodstuff Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Not yet, I tend to watch the CFL only when I'm in Canada or just happen to catch it, i.e. not very often. but that's still more than I watch the NFL which I find dreadfully boring even though I understand the game well enough to get that the level of play is higher.

So that means that Winnipeg, BC and Calgary are in. Toronto needs to win one more. Sask needs to win two of five. Doable, but not a certainty. Montreal needs to win three of six. Again, it's possible, but not a lock. Ottawa and Hamilton would both need to win five of six. Very unlikely. Edmonton has five games left, and will need to win all of them.
