Should the CFL do anyway with the option of scrimmaging from the 35 yardline after fieldgoals and would the kickoffs provide more excitement from the return game ?
I doubt kick-offs take more time. Maybe, maybe not.
But the reason they changed the rule to allow scimmaging from the 35 is on a windy day on the Prairies, lots of luck scoring against the wind without it....
The big thing with getting the option to take the ball at the 35 yard line is when a team is down 9 or 10 points late in a game...basically a situation where they need a touchdown and a field goal. The team is forced to score the touchdown first if they want to do an onside kick, otherwise a team will just take the ball from the 35 yard line afterwards and run out the clock.
What the heck piggy are you doing? Your team flukes a win and this is what you want to make a poll on this. I agree it works the way it is leave it a lone Kanga II.
I actually voted to let them scrimmage. But CFListhebest was way out of line with his post. If you are against an idea, just say so, don't behave like a child. Besides the vote is currently 8-6...a very close vote. Therefore I would say that this topic was warranted and worthy of some discussion.
Every topic is worth discussing.(well except maybe expansion) :lol: and a video game
My personal philosophy is that CFL football is the greatest game there is and there is no need to make changes.....Consider my "if it aint broke...." posts to be a no vote!
Kickoffs do not take more time. Most of the kicking team is all ready on the field! As soon as the ball is caught the clock starts ticking anyway.
The CFL always promotes the exciting and fast kick returners. So much so, they even changed the rules to help the return game. To limit or even alienate any of these plays seem down right silly. Time to kick the ball off everytime. Not because the evil NFL does it, but because us fans who like exciting plays, want it!
