It’s football but sloppy. At times it’s very sloppy. Dropped passes with the ball hitting the wrs in the chest and overthrown passes when wrs are WIDE open and bad clock management at the end of the 1st half I see why some guys didn’t make it in the pros.

the rules are kind of interesting

The only league for football that ever was working before it failed was the usfl. The spring was working but then they tried to head to head with the nfl in the fall. There are a lot of great players that were in that league that made it in the nfl. A lot of HOFers in Canton started in the usfl and a few more that should be (Hershal Walker for example).

I don’t see “He hate me” out there this time. It may work better. It has a better chance than xfl 1.0 . I think the rules may help it & you'll know it is working if the nfl or better yet college adapts rules like with kickoffs and punts.

The first TD pass was thrown from a guy (Brandon Silver) that played for Neal Brown at Troy.

Their kickoffs are interesting.

They ditched the gimmicks (for the most part) and I was impressed with the production value. Admittedly, my #1 reason for watching would be to see some former Mountaineers play.

You do realize they had no pre-season games to work anything out.

The play will get better.

Well it must be the water in Tampa because they suck every bit as bad in the xfl as the nfl and in college with USF. Don’t drink that water there.
