The AAF Thread


Recommended Posts

They are going to need to find a way to have some sort of star power for this... something to draw to last long term. 

I can say from the game I watched last night and this one so far today in my opinion this is better than college football. They are attempting to run legit NFL offenses as college is mostly gimmick crap I generally can’t stand to watch. 

Given the talent (mostly washed out former nfl players not good enough to make it in the big leagues) I think they have had a prettt decent product even though it’s a small sample size so far. 

Long term though they need some of these players to step up and shine and possibly win NFL jobs or the league will fade. Very hard to get it up and running and they’re not getting a lot of press to get the word out on these games

I said i had no interest in this and i dont but i said today i wish there was football on and saw this on as i was scrolling through channels so im giving it a go. Still not something im looking forward to but if its on and im not doing anything then i will watch.

 

Dont like the pass rushing rules with only 5 and have to be with in two yds of the tackle box. Thought this was a developmental league?? Should have All the same rules as the NFL.

Try and think of the AAF as a 10-week long Senior Bowl.

No. NFLPA has to sign off on any deal like that. Maybe in the future.

 

Hopefully, would be good for our practice squad players.

 

Which would also make it more interesting knowing our players are in there.

I would like to see a fantasy football league for this, would help the popularity 

Apparently, they have an app that you can "manage a team" on during the game. Like a fantasy game. Not sure what their ultimate goal is in that regard.

I saw some of the Cover 1 premium members were doing a fantasy league for kicks

 

Both sound good. Long term sustainability they need stuff like that to keep people interested

It’s great in theory, but it will stay that way if they can’t execute. I tried using the app all night last night and today, it didn’t work at all. I can follow along with the game, but all the cool interactive stuff they had on their commercial didn’t work at all. You are supposed to be able to guess what play will be ran next and gain experience points for it to “level up”. That has not worked for me yet.

IMO they need to get rid of the punts altogether or limit them to a small number for each team per game.....like timeouts.

 

These rosters are always going to be hastily slapped together a month before the season so the O-Lines and developing a professional looking passing game are always going to be challenges playing 3 down offense.

 

I understand that purists hate taking away their beloved kicking plays:rolleyes:...........but if they really want the NFL to get involved and supply them with their practice squad players....... they need to create a situation where players are getting developed........and more high leverage downs are a necessity.

What if a guy was an athlete and a good gunner or KR/PR?  That's an avenue to be on a fringe NFL roster for an AAF guy.
