bow slayer Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 nfl has the better talent,the game is played much quicker,sort of like NHL to AHL.Everyone in the CFL wants to be in the NFL.
kickingfrog Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 I like football. I watch CFL, NFL, CIS, NCAA. I even try to get out and watch some local high school games every fall.
solopaddler Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) I love my Ticats. As far as I'm concerned the talent level is the same. The problem is the CFL players are mostly too small to play in the NFL, especially on D. Skill positions that's a different story though. There's lots of great CFL players who'd do just as well in the no fun league. Edited October 23, 2010 by solopaddler
asdve23rveavwa Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 NFL all the way. I'm a proud Canadian, but, I just can't get interested in a league with such a small amount of teams. Also have never been a big fan of the 3 down system. Bring the NFL to Toronto!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NAC Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 There's lots of great CFL players who'd do just as well in the no fun league. Yes and they are all kickers. CFL players are NFL cast-offs or never made the draft. History has proven that it is very difficult for CFL calibre players to make and stay in the NFL. Players like Joe Theisman, Warren Moon, Doug Flutie are the only names that come to mind of players who crossed between the two leagues with success in both. I'm sure the were a couple others too. Bring on the Not For Long game!
Gregoire Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 I enjoy the CFL game more, as I believe 3 downs and a wider field makes for a more exciting game. I voted for the NFL because I am addicted to fantasy football.
skeeter Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Neither !!!!!!!!!! a bunch of guys wearing make up ,spandex and grabbing each others butts.....

Bring on the Not For Long game! I would argue it goes both ways. The Canadian game is very different. Just look at Ricky Williams; his CFL career was an utter failure yet he is still going strong in the NFL. A recent CFL player who made the transition to the NFL is defending CFL defensive player of the year Cameron Wake, who not only made the Miami Dolphins this year but is having a great year so far. I have some friends who played in both leagues, mind you as long snappers, and they claim that in terms of athleticism both leagues are quite similar.
Gregoire Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 nfl has the better talent,the game is played much quicker,sort of like NHL to AHL.Everyone in the CFL wants to be in the NFL. I actually find the CFL to be much quicker than the NFL
bow slayer Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 put it this way pick an allstar team from the NFL and one from the CFL and play it on a canadian field with 3 downs and it would still be a blow out after the first quarter. Players are in the CFL because they are not good enough to be in the NFL.
BUSTER Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I take that back,booze talking!!! . Edited October 24, 2010 by BUSTER

Handlebarz Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 I still watch the CFL but not like in years gone by when I would watch it all the time. For the NFL I was a cheese head but after white,Brown then Farve left I have found that I watch the games for the players I like more then cheer on a team. I also find it better to not have a team that way when I realy like a player and he gets traded I can still cheer them on.
canadadude Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 The officials kill the CFL, it would be a much better game with some compitent offcials.The calls and the flags being thrown is just ridiculous at times and the new overtime game is a joke.I still watch both leagues but I find I turn off the CFL off once the officials get flag happy,I hate seeing the refs deciding the out come of an other wise great game.
Mike Pike Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I'm a Tiger-Cats season ticket holder and a HUGE CFL fan. I love both leagues though. I always wonder why it has to be a question of one league over the other. They're almost two different sports! If pressed, I think I enjoy the speed of the Canadian game more and the 3 downs as opposed to 4. With 3 downs, the Quarterback HAS to get 10 yards quicker so every down is more important than in the NFL. Quarterbacks in the CFL don't have the luxury of 'managing' the game. They have to make plays!
John Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I'm not a big football fan either way, but if pushed I would have to say I enjoy college ball much more than the "Pro" game......
Fish Farmer Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) CFL OSKI-WEE-WEE all the way to the cup ,Bigger field, less downs make for more skill for the 10, Plus the CFL ball is nicer looking . OH ya they serve Canadian Beer. Edited October 25, 2010 by Fish Farmer
Billy Bob Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 NFL.....BUT.....TOO many commercials PERIOD....college football looks better everyday. Now if I might ask....do you think the Buffalo Bills will be successful if and when they move to Toronto....filling the stadium because it's all about the money.

I wont be going at the price they want for NFL tickets in ontario..
bucketmouthjohnny Posted October 30, 2010 Report Posted October 30, 2010 I used to like the CFL when it was truly Canadian and you could only have two imports. Now they force you to have a Canadian on your team . Is it better talent wise with the imports, yea maybe, but i think what was unique was the Canadian content the league had, homegrown boys.They tried and failed to sell it to the US using imports, so why not resell the Canadian content back to the Canadian people with the majority of Canadian players.Until that happens, I might watch the Grey Cup, but not definitely. They also could try to get some fantasy football interest, wouldn't hurt.
