From what I saw last week in one of those preview things , Houston, DC and Tampa were supposed to be the best teams this season

I found DC pretty easy to watch, it was Jones chucking it very hard and Ross running very fast.

...anybody find it strange that box scores and game stats are nowhere to be found?....or am I not looking in the right places?....tried ESPN (ugh), NBC and CBS but nothing....

Does xfl have a website?

I'm watching in the UK via ESPN and they aren't showing ads, they forgot to turn off the commentators microphones in the break yesterday, very professional

XFL.com or their mobile app is where you need to go. Not sure if they're hoping that will give the site some traffic or something.

I am so curious to see if any XFL players will be able to show they are good enough to play in the NFL. The top few players should be able to at least get a call to training camp right?
 

I wonder if Team scouting is giving it much attention or if they are two busy prepping for the draft/free agency

Some guys will get to NFL training camps, for sure. AAF had some guys called up.

 

There will probably be some Duke Williams-types who dominate this league.

Josh Johnson did from the AAF, so probably. 

 

Someone like Cardale Jones still has something to offer

I love them showing the replay official live.

 

How's that for accountability NFL ??

 

 

.

It's only the same as sports like cricket and rugby have been doing for over a decade. Its hardly revolutionary.

And so far every replay call made sense. Being seen live on TV does wonders for your judgement, eh?

 

I have to get to FanDuel at the Meadowlands one of these days. Maybe @Gugny would meet up for Guardians game?

So far I have enjoyed the games but I really do not understand why they mostly chose cities that already have NFL teams. 
 

 I would have liked to see:

- South Carolina (Columbia or Charleston)

- Omaha

- Austin or San Antonio

- Detroit (people are begging for something other than the Lions)

- St Louis

- San Diego

- Louisville or Lexington KY

- Oklahoma City

 

I also wonder what type of support they would have had if they chose a team in Buffalo?  I tend to believe the place would be packed this time of the year.

They played it safe where they can easily market them.

Population base and facilities are likely the two big reasons. Do you think Bills fans would show up for some winter ball?

AAF tried that last year, how did that work out?

I can appreciate that MM, but we don't get a lot of Cricket on TV here in WNY..............?

 

 

Murray finally gets off a good pass and it's dropped.........

Imo the major reason these other minor football leagues never succesful is because they WERNT in NFL cities. This is one of the smartest things the xfl has done. You can't put minor league teams in non football cities and expect it to be successful. Football fans want more football. Putting them in NFL cities is genius

Looks like they made some adjustments from yesterday. 
No sideline interviews immediately after. 
Unless I missed it no communications from coaches calling plays to the quarterback. 
Much different from yesterday’s games 

Maybe, Fox's game was different from ABC's yesterday so it might just be that.
