The 2024 CFL season gets underway Thursday night with a Grey Cup rematch between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes. It was the Alouettes who stunned the Bombers, 28-24, with a late touchdown with 15 seconds remaining in the game, so you know that tilt is going to pack an extra punch. The beauty of every season is although memories from last year linger, it’s a completely new slate for all nine clubs.
The Alouettes are also a perfect example of it’s not always where you start that matters but how you finish, with Montreal knocking off the 16-2 Toronto Argonauts in the East final before downing the Bombers in the championship game. As is the case every season, there’s plenty of roster turnover, with fan favourites leaving and joining new teams. Some clubs spent the offseason trying to retain as many players as possible, while others tore things down to the studs in hopes of future success.
It’s also a time for early projections and opinions, and what better way to bring back our weekly column, CFL Rundown, than giving a quick take on all nine teams. Should be an excitin.
