Nfl Sucks

Killswitch

I've also go on to add that the CFL officially formed in 1958, which means that it's only 48 years old and it would be pretty tricky for a league to have talent as good as itself when the league doesn't exist at the designated point in time.

I consider myself a DIE HARD football fan. But the NFL has it over the other leagues. Maybe if I hailed from Canada I would feel different. Too much movement before the snap of the ball and that. I think you guys up there have some goo dteams and players, but I do not think your guys could compete with an NFL team.

A quick question, do the punt in the CFL? I mean do they just run 2 plays and punt or do they turn the ball over? Because if they don't punt that easily explains why they throw the ball so much, 1 long pass and first down = better field position than 3 3-yard runs and turning it over.

But without the punt (and special teams units?) It just seems like a broken game in my American mind. Football isn't about fast paced mayhem, it's a bloodyied nosed grind for 3+ hours.

of course we punt except for a few minor details like field length downs and players its the same game
alot of times what happens is a team will almost play the entire game out of shotgun, run first down get 5/6 yards bc defense is spread out so much run second down get 4 yards or something liek that or run first play pass second depends on the coach like any team

I'm confused now, do CFL teams punt on third down? You said there are only 3 downs AND that they punt, so they have 2 downs to get a first?

well they have three downs to get a first down but teams usually punt on third down if its more than 2 yards its like nfl has 4 downs to get a first but usually punt on the 4 th down so not to give up field position

So basicly you really only have 2 tries to get a touchdown.... you have to really use your downs wisely.

All the above also have downsides. My thoughts on this is...

Longer field - Not to much wrong hear. But it just seems like the scoring would be less. Much harder to score and such. But I don't see a problem with it.

Wider - Well we all know football is a game to win. Thats given. But when it comes down to around the 2 minute mark and below in the 4th, and you need a feild goal to win or tie. You have 1 or 2 timeouts left, you going to need to run out of bounds. This option cost you alot of seconds in that. If you throw you and he catchs it at about the 15 yard line, and there is no way for him to make it to the endzone, he need to go out of bounds, and stop the clock. This is to preserve time. But the wider feild atleast cost 1 or 2 seconds to reach the out of bounds. This time after a play or so can cost this tem a play. So they would go for it aall more than none. Personally I love seeing a team do their damndest to reach the endzone when it is all on the line. But I also would like to think that sometime you need more time.

Bigger Ball - It is harder to throw but easier to catch really. So it doesn't help out alot or does it hurt.

12 guy - Eh, don't know.

3 plays - This is bad option in my view because t means in the middle of a dead heat game you only have 2 downs before you get you options are best to punt. NFL, it is 3 down and a punt. This give the team more time, and makes it less stressfull. That way instead of gainging 5 yards atleast a play or having to punt, you gain like you said 3.7 yards.

Now gridiron, or American football was made famous by both The States and Canada, between McGill and Harvard. Playing 2 diffrent games. But right now I would ahve to lean towards NFL. It really has laways been popular, just look at the record for the NFL, I believe it dates back to when it was the AFL.
