For the record, this is down from an average of 50.0 after 11 weeks last season (final season average was 50.4).

I don't know precisely when the rules changed, but it almost certainly coincided with an increase in players on the game roster. Coaches would have insisted they needed time to make substitutions to...

I don't disagree that the CFL has become plagued by too many teams using the same basic approach both offensively and defensively, but one easy improvement would be to increase the number of plays...

I recently did a deep dive into stats from five years each separated by a decade: 1981, '91, '01, '11 and '21. Here's part of what I found. I used 1991 as the comparison year since IMO it was the...

Please do update this when you get a chance, Ravi. It's not just scoring that's down, so is the number of offensive plays. The entertainment value has been declining for quite some time. IMO this is...

Points-scored stats are certainly interesting, but I'd be more interested to know average margin of victory and how many games were in doubt until the last possession. That is more indicative of...

Considering how many defensive scores there were this year, an increase of four points per game does not signal that the recent offensive malaise is over, IMO.

I hope you are right, Ravi, but I really, really doubt it. Cdn football has become a game heavily influenced by coaching, defensive strategy and situation substitution. Plus many of the QBs, backs...

The trend of increasing offence in the NFL and decreasing offence in the CFL has been evident (and increasing in magnitude) for several seasons. In the 1980s and most of the 1990s there was no...

Excellent data, Ravi.
