Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 First game of this bodes well, pretty entertaining although the constant interviewing of players might get a bit tiresome. 19-19 in the 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I think my favourite bit was when they interviewed the QB during the conversion after he'd thrown a pick 6. Being able to hear the dialogue between the booth review and the ref on the field is good, as are the playcalls even if I can't piece them together. The kickoff is funky for want of a better word. not sure about the 1/2/3 point conversion yet. Standard even to an amateur watcher like me (as I type a guy for LA has tried to catch a punt and it's hit his helmet leading to a recovery by the kicking team) isn't anywhere near even the lower end of the NFL as you'd obviously expect, but it's transparent how weaker it is Not sure it's going to work out much quicker than a NFL game, first game over-ran you'd assume with that kicking off at 7 and the second kicking off at 10. Think they were aiming for 2 hours 40 overall time. If it works out being a developmental league or showcase for guys looking for a second chance to get on a practice squad then good. edit: first quarter of this one has taken 45 minutes.

Hip Priest Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I doubt I'll be able to take this seriously but hey, what else is there on the telly on Sunday evenings? Might go for the Battlehawks out of a sense of Missouri solidarity and also (and to honest, mainly) because they have a daft name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Week 2New York 0-27 DC (15031)Tampa Bay 9-17 Seattle (29172)Dallas 25-18 LA (14979)St. Louis 24-28 Houston (17103)Was able to catch 3 of the 4 games this round. Overall it feels & plays like a mish-mash of the NFL & CFL. One thing I've noticed is teams aren't overly efficient on points after conversions.Standout player thus far is Houston QB PJ Walker previously of the Temple Owls & Indy Colts. Houston's offense is interesting as the team has zero TE's on their roster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I haven't been into American Football for years but watched the last Superbowl and really enjoyed it. Thinking of getting back into it and started watching the highlights of the XFL. Is it like a Highland League equivalent of the NFL? A bit more sloppy but quicker. Really liked the look of the Houston Roughnecks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest suprise was winless LA decimating the undefeated DC which leaves Houston as the only side with a 100% record. Excellent attendance for St. Louis in the first pro football game in the city since December 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
