Gugny Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Birmingham has both the Patriots and Bills in their "territory." I just spoke to one of my close friends, who is a Pats fan. He's rooting for Birmingham, too. Will the Birmingham Iron bring Pats fans and Bills fans together???? ? 6 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Is he related to Christian Okoye? Nope.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 They keep saying Birmingham has these old bill rights. My count was the have 1 former Bill. The SD team last night had at least 2 and I didn’t even go through their roster. The SD team had 2 guys that actually played and mattered a little for the Bills. Birmingham has a punter that was terrible and was cut 2 or 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright. I guess I just see Ron Brooks and Tarpley and think about guys who actually played for the Bills. Not just had a cup of coffee and 90% of Bills fans wouldn’t even remember the were here.

NoSaint Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 15 hours ago, HappyDays said: These guys aren't even practice squad caliber. Practice squad players in the NFL make $130,000 a year. AAF players are paid around $83,000 a year. Once you get to 3rd Rb or 5th Wr vs practice squad vs these guys... it’s probably six of one and a half dozen the other. I won’t pretend that most GMs could articulate the difference between the 160th best WR and the 190th. It’s just scheme fit, roster fit and familiarity at that point. I suppose you could say the same about the 80th and 105th qb beyond you really don’t want to see them play while the other positions can blend in a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 6 hours ago, QuoteTheRaven83 said: I don't see this league lasting at all. I think the purpose of this league is to test the new rules and see how those new rules would affect the game. I'd be shocked if it lasted past year 2 or 3. Was interesting to see Ron Brooks and AJ Tarpley out there though. I disagree. I think for once, they actually have a chance of survival. They seem to have an idea a logical place alongside the NFL rather than competing. The fact a game this weekend is actually on NFL Network is hugely significant. If the NFL buys into it as a developmental league, that's huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This was better than expected. I would think interest will decline when the weak improves. Some observations based on one game: » I liked the camera on the repay official. » QB play was poor. More work needed in practice. » OL play was poor. The defenses generally were able to push them around easily. » I was expecting more new offensive plays and pay calling. Seemed old school to a degree. » I did not miss the kickoffs at all. Thought I would but no. » Seems like quality coaches, refs need work. Overall a good first effort. Hard to see the league doing well financially as football has such a high overhead.
