I can’t be the only one watching this shit. Come on in, boys and girls.

 

[scarf31]

Bet first half over TT for Orlando and San Antonio on premise alone...both home teams...league on the main CBS network opening night...not going to attract people with a snooze fest and no points.

Orlando o15 1H
San Antonio o13.5 1H

Those are the plays for this degenerate...

I'm watching Death Row Stories!

First snap (guess you can't say kickoff) not for another 20 minutes

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Where am i

 

[Gandolf]

Somehow it was inevitable that Spiro Dedes would be calling the game.

 

[scarf31]

First snap (guess you can't say kickoff) not for another 20 minutes

Gonna be fun to see some of these names again.

Mike Bercovici starting QB for San Diego...in the scrimmage for the press (sim game apparently) was reading he threw for 250, but committed 5 turnovers.

This has clusterfuck potential...

 

[KJ]

Guy starting for AZ is tits. No clue who he is. That's my analysis.

 

[Gandolf]

Running clock, interesting.

 

[Gandolf]

Nevermind, clock operator was asleep.

 

[Gandolf]

The ref jerseys are brutal.

 

[Gandolf]

BOOM.

 

[scarf31]

Mike Bercovici...first guy hit so hard he pissed himself.

AAF style

 

[Gandolf]

First bad spot of the game.

 

[scarf31]

First bad spot of the game.

Well at least they have NFL quality refs...that wasn’t even close.

 

[scarf31]

Bercovici now won’t be able to have kids due to a hit in an inaugural football league.

#historic

 

[scarf31]

These defenders wide open on any structured play. Running no huddle these defenses going to shit themselves late in games

 

[Gandolf]

Christ that wasn't even close to a catch.

 

[scarf31]

Christ that wasn't even close to a catch.

Not even in the ballpark of a catch.

Like the transparency of hearing the replay decision though

 

[Gandolf]

Looks like the defenses are far ahead of the offenses.

 

[Gandolf]

That was classic Martz....haven't seen a QB drop back with shoulders parallel to the LOS since Bulger.

 

[scarf31]

Martz such a bad HC in the NFL. Great OC, clueless to defense

 

[survive&advance]

That bercovici hit was awesome. Haven’t seen someone get jacked up like that in years. Would’ve been a flag/suspension in the nfl lol

 

[Gandolf]

NICE GRAB

 

[scarf31]

If they run go routes all day they’re gonna realize Defenders got a long way to go to keep up

 

[Gandolf]

And we have points

 

[scarf31]

What better way to draw interest than not having a touchdown in either game so far.

 

[scarf31]

Mike Bercovici sacked 4 times already. Yup, that’s the Mike Martz offense I remember

 

[Gandolf]

Almost the first TD, on a pick 6

 

[KJ]

Well at least they have NFL quality refs...that wasn’t even close.

This is supposed to be training for officials as well I think

 

[scarf31]

WTF is an illegal defense?

Did the guy take a gun on the field or something? Explain the fuckin rules CBS

 

[Gandolf]

They don't know them either.

 

[KJ]

Can't have more than 2 rushers lined up outside the farthest outside OL and can't rush if you line up farther than 5 yds from the LOS. No more than 5 rushers period.

 

[Gandolf]

$1000 for every TD? That's going to be one extremely disappointed charity.

 

[scarf31]

Apparently Orlando is up 16-6...first Degen Aloof As Fuck league play cashes.

#blessed

 

[KJ]

Is the replay official micced up?

 

[scarf31]

Is the replay official micced up?

Yes, on the replay review before you heard him talking through everything for why he made the call he did. I actually really like that transparency a lot

 

[Gandolf]

Should be some pretty good FG kickers in this league. NFL only takes 32 of them.

 

[scarf31]

Mike Reilly takes a knee to end the half. Because...why not?

 

[KJ]

Thx scarfy, sounds interesting

If there is even one upgrade the NFL can make from an experimental league, then It’s a success.

 

[KJ]

If there is even one upgrade the NFL can make from an experimental league, then It’s a success.

This league isn't going anywhere, it was made for a purpose that doesn't really involve revenue all that much so they can do trial and err for years. I won't really watch it for no other reason than I don't need an interest in it but I hope it's successful on several fronts, most importantly to give some of these guys a shot they'd never have.

 

[SIGO]

Just turned on the Orlando-Atlanta game a few minutes ago. Glad to have some football.

 

[Gandolf]

Really want to see the new repossession rule in action. Could definitely see the NFL switching away from onside kicks if it works.

 

[Gandolf]

Go route Scarf....worked as predicted.

 

[scarf31]

Go route Scarf....worked as predicted.

The biggest obstacle some of these teams are going to have to figure things out are o line play and shitty playcalling.

Nearly every coach is from an old school football mentality except Martz who is still preaching a 7-step dropback. That shit is archaic. Just run go, slant and go, post and go, hook and go...these defenders have no chance to defend that.

 

[KJ]

Mate our boy Neuheisal is not OLD SCHOOL, he's a borderline misunderstood QB genius!

So much so I have no clue who the starter is or where he played

 

[D-Woww]

Dont lie, that was fun. They may have something here. Obviously wont compete w the nfl theyre not trying to like xfl was

 

[KJ]

NFL is invested in this, heavily

 

[D-Woww]

Fade Hackenberg tomorrow. So pumped for the chance to do that
