Points per game over the last 40 years

I suspect that this year is a blip for the CFL and that we will see scoring return to somewhat more normal levels over the next year or two.

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 and receivers who in the past would have come to Canada are staying, and playing, in the NFL. Twenty-five years ago Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Cam Newton, to name just three, would almost certainly have ended up in the CFL. I just don't see anything this year or in recent years to convince me that the downward-offence trend is going to change.
