That is why I think that this game would not be near as one sided as some would have us think. I guess the only "true" way of knowing for sure is if it ever happened. Until that day, we are all just speculating. One more thing: I remember in 1972 when the Canadian hockey team was supposed to wipe the Russian team all over the ice and we all know what hapened in that series. What about the rest of you guys, any opnions?

I used to watch the CFL back when they had a team in Baltimore. Maybe times have changed, but I could tell the talent difference easily. The CFL'ers were a clearly a beat or two slower. The window's of opportunity were larger in the CFL: QB's had more margin for error, the holes were slightly bigger for RB's, etc. The speed and power of the NFL players was just so clearly a cut above the CFL guys.
