2020 XFL Season Thread

[John Price]

Lmao they just put me on TV

How is the atmosphere of the game on tv? They have 4 nfl stadiums of 70K, 1 college stadium of 40k, Dallas plays out of the former Texas Rangers ballpark, and LA and DC play out of MLS stadiums of 20 odd K.

At the beginning, I would have graded the XFL a B+, now a B-

The first couple series were great, multiple big hits and plays for both teams. Then it got sloppy and looked like preseason ball.

Seattle just had a nice finish to the half though.

Have to say I’m enjoying this

It’s not bad for the first week of the league. The NFL ain’t exactly hitting on all cylinders in week 1

 

[YoSoyLalo]

dude can’t hit a 35 yarder but he makes a 55 yarder look routine lol

Better than the AAF in my opinion.

I think this league has legitimate staying power as a secondary league for players.

That kickoff rule seems a bit harsh. Essentially a 35-yard penalty?

Here is my scale: is it better than college football? I have to say yes, barely. Getting sick of the media in everyone's face.

 

[PhillyWings]

This is not high quality...

What did you expect when you have players who would fill out the bottom of an NFL roster? Overall it's been enjoyable so far.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Just take it for what it is and keep expectations low.

 

[GKJ]

Trickeration!

 

[snipes]

Nice TD

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That was a nice trick play

They should have waited another week or two to start, wait till diehards are a little more jonesing for football.

 

[kovacro]

Weird seeing the kick by himself, but the kickoff alignment is interesting.

Definitely avoids the high speed collisions by eliminating the running start.

 

[snipes]

Seattle follows it up with a TD.

Proehl looking like his old man during the greatest show on turf days with the Rams.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That was some bad defense lol

The biggest appeal is likely going to be with bettors, which if it is the case, probably doesn’t matter. And also some of these guys who are going to be brought to NFL camps will need the time off. Also it gets hot.

10 week regular season with no bye weeks. It’s 12 straight weeks of football without a bye for the 2 teams in the championship game which goes April 26.

maybe next season they think about a bye week for each team in weeks 5-8 so the championship game is played in early May.

25 second clock but a running game clock for all but 4 minutes of the game. See what the total number of offensive plays are for each team per game. Same as nfl or more/less.

Opportunity for guys to make NFL clubs as depth players if they perform well.

 

[GKJ]

Big touchdown on a 4th down conversion

 

[GKJ]

Tyree Jackson has looked dreadful on these conversions.

 

[Cush]

DC's uniforms look like something you would see in a "Create A Team" mode in a video game

 

[John Price]

Officiating is just as bad as the NFL
