POLL: What are your thoughts on the CFL rule changes?

While it wasn't a full shift to Americanized football, that was the feeling a lot of CFL fans left Monday with following the leagues announcement regarding sweeping changes for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

The changes include:

• Goal posts will be moved from the goal line to the back of the end zone.
• End zones will shrink from 20 yards to 15 yards.
• The field of play will be reduced from 110 yards to 100 yards.
• The field width will remain 65 yards.
• A redefined single point: Teams will only earn a single if the returner is tackled in the end zone or concedes voluntarily. Points will no longer be awarded for missed field goals or punts that exit the end zone.
• A new 35-second play clock that resets automatically after each play.
• Teams occupying opposite sidelines in every stadium to improve game flow and visuals.

Many were worried about the possibility of losing the things that make the CFL game uniquely Canadian, most important being a shift to four-down-football like the NFL and other pro leagues down south. A lot of the CFL's identity is being retained, but the league was not committal in denying any more changes down the road. 

Are the rule changes a league overreach, or something fans (and players) should give an honest try? Let us know your thoughts in the poll below:
