PokerPacker Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Dragons were within 1 score, but then they accepted that running-into-the-kicker penalty and they come away with nothing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Good start for the Defenders. I think this league is going to require defenses to bend but not break and force turnovers. The game is set up to be an offensive game. The Defenders D is built really well for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The folks who took the over must be sweating. Better hope for another pick six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 AAF was an okay league for me, but two things killed it: 1. The QBs sucked and with no offense, there was no excitement. 2. After the first week or two, they pushed it all to cable. I don't have cable subscriptions, so if it isn't on TV, I don't watch it. With just this one game to go off of so far, I think they've got potential for a good foothold. Without the turnovers, this would be a very competitive game now. I'll make time to tune in.

Fox really just does it so much more naturally. ABC feels stiff. Part of it is the commentator, but Fox's bread and butter is Nascar and football. They know how to put on a game. Houston off to a good start, but the field audio sounds like it's from Madden 96. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 over on the other game the announcer just called the Roughnecks the Renegades over on the other game the announcer just called the Roughnecks the Renegades so, by my count the XFL has scored 8 TDs, and only two successful conversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) it wont happen, but if the XFL would sign people to 3 year deals out of high school, i might be more tempted to watch long term.

hail2skins Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Attendance for Defenders was 17163. By comparison, attendance for AAF week one: San Antonio 27857 Orlando 20191 Birmingham 17039 Arizona 15000 DC, Orlando, and Arizona, of course, have competing winter major league sports. Be curious to see what the attendance is at the other venues this weekend.....Dallas seats 25K, Houston 40K, and NY 80K. Another interesting thing is that I was under the impression that the games were going to be shorter in duration than NFL games. I had to stop watching the Defenders game at about 4:45, so didn't the game wind up going to close to 3 hours?

purbeast Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The way the XFL is handling reviews is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the NFL. The NFL has to steal this from them. I mean we can hear the guys in the booth talking to the ref on the field about what they are seeing. And just now on the FOX game they showed us the guy in the booth and what he was looking at as he was talking. Oh, and they can review illegal hits and what not too, which is awesome so that BS calls won't be upheld anymore. Overall I'm liking the changes in rules so far and the speed of this game is actually faster than I thought it would be. It's faster than college for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Both games have been entertaining. If games are broadcast on networks the rest of the season I'll tune in when I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that the AAF QBs sucked - some of them did for sure but I remember 2 or 3 of them were really good - if I remember Salt Lake and I think Orlando had a really good passing attack. And the Birmingham Iron were all about running and defense. Teams were really starting to establish their identities before that jerkoff pulled the plug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If play like today continues I think the XFL has a chance this go around. I thought PJ Walker played well. I could see Rhule bringing him to the Panthers as a backup.
