Damn i didnt know that Canada Had such a strong following and awesome Professional Football league! I am a Big NFL fan here in my state of Oklahoma but ill tell ya after seeing this Video i really want to see more CFL games! You Canadians play some hard football! Props from America
Broncos and BC fan, I honestly don't care what country it is football is still football, I wouldn't mind seeing Canadian teams in the new madden video game.
Its ironic and funny that every time the Canucks go to the Stanley Cup Finals and lose, the BC Lions win the Grey Cup. Happened in 1994 and 2011. Weird.
kristineileen evans Yeah, since it is true 2 out of the 3 times the Canucks went to the finals. That's not weird, it's not even particularly unusual since it wasn't true more than 2/3 of the time.
@Yoshiprince2 You understand that the Lions went 12-1 to end the season after they played the Blue Bombers, yes? Of course, all of those wins were just flukes and generous reffing.
I think the reason why you say the NFL is better because it gets heard of a lot here in the US instead of the CFL. You know what they say: Quality over quantity ( popularity in this case ). IMO, NFL = CFL.
What a great game! Plus, lots of respect to the Blue Bombers and their organisation. Both teams deserve to be in the final, but I am glad that the Lions won. Go BC! :-)
As an American, I can say that I love the Canadian Football League and love the BC Lions. With the NHL being so anti-Canada since Montreal's Cup win in 1993, I love seeing a league with nothing but teams from Canada. Perhaps it's time for the NHL teams from Canada to form their own league.
Pretty Up set the bombers lost :( but Congratulations BC! We had great turnaround from last year, won the east, last year at Canad Inns! Still great year, but going to miss Canad Inns As for BC what a turn around from 0-5, then winning West and Grey Cup at new Stadium good for them, was good season, next year will be great as well!
As a huge Blue Bomber fan in the States, I feel we did a damn good job giving the hosts a hard time. Hope we can duplicate their Grey Cup run this year. LET'S GO BOMBERS!!
Despite my Blue Bombers losing, I always enjoy watching these highlights. The fact that they almost had a comeback going, I always get chills watching it when they scared the shit out of BC scoring two touchdowns that fast. I can guarantee if they got that onside kick they could've tied it up, or at least gotten another touchdown. It reminds me of the 2012 World Juniors semi-final game between Canada and Russia, we lost but it was still exciting to have that glimmer of hope.
Why did we win? Cause BC had an amazing turnaround season from 0-5 and Winnipeg had no swag whatsoever the whole season swaggerville in their dreams BC deserved it more than them
Eh people are so low when they have to argue about salaries they are not even making. So what if an NFL player makes 18million a year or if a CFL player makes 100k a year. either way, it is good football and the players deserved to get paid a hefty portion of the total income of either league.
definitely some rule differences but the similarities exists throughout since I was able to first learn the Canadian version and that made it a lot easier to understand the American game.
the pick? his arm was under the ball, there was not enough conclusive evidence to overturn therefore the ruling on the field stands. there was PI going both ways, how bout the wpg first TD near the end, the WPG receiver pushed off!
@Junostudios I don't know if that's true but I do know that any NFL team would beat any US college team but that doesn't make college football not worth watching. Well actually neither NFL or US college football is worth watching because they're both boring as shit (imho) but you get my point. You don't have to be the most elite league to put out an entertaining product that is wort watching.
They should do an NFL vs CFL all star game... That would be cool :) it would get alot of ratings too. I have a feeling the nfl would blow them out tho... Whatever, it would still be cool
How do you figure? Canadian Football was pretty much Rugby up until 1903 when they changed their rules to be more like American Football. American Football first appeared in 1880. American Football as we know it today was around for 23 years before the Canadian Football as we know it today.
I recall a certain challenge Winnipeg had, that they lost when the blind officials completely didn't see the ball bounce off the ground into the BC players hands, oh and how many pass interferences did BC have? Right.

Yeah bro! It's only 3 downs and the last 3 minutes are intense, not like the NFL . I love the CFL.
@@paulburrows7908 anything can happen the last 3 minutes, it's wild.
💪😎
2011 was a great year for bc between the Canucks run and the Grey Cup :)
It helped with the heartache of the Stanley Cup, to watch the Lions win vs the despised Blue Bombers.
I really enjoy looking back at the past Grey Cup games I've attended.
This is good football! I love both the NFL & CFL...they're both really great.
I'm from the States and just ran across this clip. CFL seems pretty cool! Great fans!
Broncos and BC fan, I honestly don't care what country it is football is still football, I wouldn't mind seeing Canadian teams in the new madden video game.
so many people hating on the CFL. Can't people just appreciate a different type of football up here in Canada?
Wow... Lulay, big Hill, Johnson, Simon, McCallum... what a year this was!
Holy Shit. And I've been watching NFL my whole life. o.o
I agree. Who cares how much the players are on. CFL is great entertainment and at he moment the Lions are the best team in the game.

We just need Nathan Rourke back

@Yoshiprince2 You understand that the Lions went 12-1 to end the season after they played the Blue Bombers, yes? Of course, all of those wins were just flukes and generous reffing.

Now Andrew Harris has led his hometown team to the championship glory!!!

Damn I haven't watched CFL til now, I think I'm gonna have to give it a whirl.
@Love4SK No shit, watching NFL football is like watching paint dry.
This was the greatest grey cup in my eyes ! And I'm a bomber fan , if only winnipeg finished the come back . but still my favorite
Congrats BC Lions "World Champions of Canadian Football".
What an amazing season. The Grey Cup game was so energizing. I was there.
The CFL and the BC Lions is great football.
I agree, I love them both. Sure beats college football.
What a great game! Plus, lots of respect to the Blue Bombers and their organisation. Both teams deserve to be in the final, but I am glad that the Lions won. Go BC! :-)
Agreed. Cheers from Portland, OR.
who cares how much the players make, we watch it because its entertaining, CFL and NFL are awsome, go lions and 9ers ! haha

Fire Bettman is the issue
OMG they almost won on my birthday almost November 28th
well... damn. Great year Bombers! Well get them next time!
Pretty Up set the bombers lost :( but Congratulations BC!
We had great turnaround from last year, won the east, last year at Canad Inns! Still great year, but going to miss Canad Inns
As for BC what a turn around from 0-5, then winning West and Grey Cup at new Stadium good for them, was good season, next year will be great as well!
Whats up with all this CFL NFL hate. It's football people. End of story. Great game. Great finish. See yall in 2012. GO BC and GO Seahawks.
As a huge Blue Bomber fan in the States, I feel we did a damn good job giving the hosts a hard time. Hope we can duplicate their Grey Cup run this year. LET'S GO BOMBERS!!
Hello, I'm from 11 years in the future. You must be having a great time now🤣
Bombers finally got a team that can compete.
It's about fucking time. Congrats BC.

Well that was some good football god damn right !
Who’s the commentator?
Is there any difference between American football and Canadian football I mean it all looks the same to me?
I come watch this video often! What a year that was! I hope we get a season and no strike this year 2014
go niners and yeah cfl is awesome
GO LIONS

11 Bomber fans reliving the nightmare.

The guy with the drum!
"Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby!" LOL
@SuperVancouverBC FRESH MEAT !!!
the pick? his arm was under the ball, there was not enough conclusive evidence to overturn therefore the ruling on the field stands. there was PI going both ways, how bout the wpg first TD near the end, the WPG receiver pushed off!
Go Lions
@dex216sims Well said. I like different things about both. I prefer three downs, but the large-scale factor the NFL has makes it more fun to watch.
I will bet the BC lions are now singing the circle of life
This game hurt my soul to watch.
At least there's a Lions team I can cheer for. Not Detroit after what Suh did.
4:21 if he caught that it would be a completely different game
Hmmmm... I like the way the nfl is, but this is cool too, so its not the EXACT same
@nashvilleraidersfan Just a testament to 2 great defenses, so those that understood that, appreciated it.
quick question? where was the lions fans when they were on the loosing side? go riders!
@oldfriendofmine Oh, they won 12 games this season? But the official CFL site says 11, weird.
What does B.C. stand for?
British Columbia
@Junostudios What rules would they be playing?
people need to stop saying that winnipeg is a "western city" because it really really isn't. it's a central city.
@dex216sims actually the NFL has the fair catch CFL doesnt.
David Marino if you watched they did run. Americans.
3:31
That was big
@Love4SK is that good or bad?
@Junostudios I don't know if that's true but I do know that any NFL team would beat any US college team but that doesn't make college football not worth watching. Well actually neither NFL or US college football is worth watching because they're both boring as shit (imho) but you get my point. You don't have to be the most elite league to put out an entertaining product that is wort watching.
Why did the Bombers wait until the 4th quarter to start playing?
go to a game in Saskatchewan! they always have a sold out crowd. and are always the loudest stadium in Canada
Tough luck. Bombers shouldn't wait until the 4th quarter to "start playing".
@Dxblock619 At least we can feel a little better now.
They should do an NFL vs CFL all star game... That would be cool :) it would get alot of ratings too. I have a feeling the nfl would blow them out tho... Whatever, it would still be cool
@runningback2BC yup according to news reports and saskatchewan is trying to get a second team.
@harrygorrod23 Oh yes, there are quite a few differrences... Check it out on Wikipedia under "Comparisin of American and Canadian football"
Quick question....do they ever run the ball in the cfl...
hey, how are you?
That illegal kick might not has been dramatic as the Riders 13th man call a few years back, but it was just as bad for the Bombers.
wow when i get happy i slam drums too :D
The very last time the lion were ever in the playoffs
in the grey cup yes, but weve been in the playoffs all except like 2 years
they came to my school!
YEAH LIONS!!!! not going to rub it in like SOME fans (bruins fans). I know what it feels like to lose in the finals.
How do you figure? Canadian Football was pretty much Rugby up until 1903 when they changed their rules to be more like American Football. American Football first appeared in 1880. American Football as we know it today was around for 23 years before the Canadian Football as we know it today.
5:46 balloon lol
British Columbia.
cool
I recall a certain challenge Winnipeg had, that they lost when the blind officials completely didn't see the ball bounce off the ground into the BC players hands, oh and how many pass interferences did BC have? Right.
ya they probably would espicially because people who cant make it into the nfl end up going to the cfl
5:50 you're aloud to push guys down like that?
@homerrulezzzz 2:08 completely different game
AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD OF KEPT JYLES OVER BUCK PIERCE remember 2010 thanksgiving?
bc didn't try hard enough to keep harris
this was such a legit matchup, Toronto vs Calgary ew
In terms of Noise this still isn't as loud as a Seattle Seahawks game.
no we’re near
@allahisgod1000 ottawa is getting a team in 2013 and a city in the maritimes is getting a team in 2014
If only BC's refs weren't biased...
I feel so bad for willis if he caught it and scored the bombers would of won
Go riders (2013 grey cup champions)
Who said Canadians are to nice
And then 2012 happened
