For the football players here: how was it like for your team playing against someone south of the border?

Question

i am asking about their talent and skill level compared to your team. and the rules you played under. when our team played in montana. they let us play a 12 man offence but only a 11 man defence, so they let us run an offence we were comfortable with.

Though we still played 4 downs on an american field.

Answer 1

That must have been interesting and a lot of fun.

No mention of how you did.

I have played in both countries, games are a lot different.

Answer 2

When I was in high school, we never played against kids from the States.  I don't think it's a common occurrence.

I gotta ask though, how did your team do?

Answer 3

The NFl and the CFl had exhibition games back in the 60s but they stopped once the CFL started winning the games.  You think that was a coincidence?  Okay why is the NFL more exciting now than it has been for years?  Because they are throwing the ball more.  Something again we've known in Canada for a long time.  Passing makes the games exciting.  You run the ball to keep the defense honest.
