But does anyone agree with my general premise? I'm 52 and my first football memory is when I'm about 4, I'm sitting on my Mom's knee and I ask her, "why do they all keep falling down?" After that, it's probably '78 season I first recall.
So since that time, excluding all "Winnipeg is in the east" years, I can't remember another season with such a strong Eastern division. Sure there were some Montreal dominance years, but the rest of the east were pretty weak.
This year, all except Hamilton are pretty good teams. E vs. W Is 9-2 if you don't count Hamilton. 9-6 with Hamilton.
I can't recall another year where you could say that. I mean the league adopted the cross-over playoff qualification rule because the western teams were tired of a 6-10 Eastern team making the playoffs.
Lots of year and games left, so this post could age poorly.
But after watching the Ottawa / Calgary game tonight, it just kinda struck me that I'd seen a lot of EvW wins this year. All in all, I'd say this is a good thing for the league. It's not good to have 4 of the top 5 teams be Winnipeg west.
My 2 cents...
