I hope that Bob Stoops has one of his players drop the People's Eyebrow on you and then crushes your car with the team monster truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted February 7, 2020 Share #16 Posted February 7, 2020 Isn’t this the second go around for the XFL? I won’t go out of my way to watch but will turn it on if I’m home & not doing anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD Posted February 8, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 8, 2020 Supposedly there's a free (?) Foxs Sports Super 6 prize game for the XFL season. I'll post the link on this thread if I find it by tomorrow. I may watch some XFL on local TV: 2 pm: ABC 2, Baltimore: Seattle Dragons at D.C. Defenders and 6 pm: Fox 5, D.C. or Fox 45 Baltimore: L.A.

Wildcats at Houston Roughnecks The Fox Sports Super Six game is the same downloadable app as before, but if you downloaded it during the NFL season, you need to update it. Otherwise, download it from Google Play or the Apple Store for free and play for free. You have to pick a range of winning margins for each of the 4 games, "$10,000, $2,000 guaranteed" Considering fewer will be playing than during the NFL Season, there are 4 multiple choice questions instead of 6, and the possible answers are fewer, there's a significant chance of winning! The Las Vegas odds are here: https://mybookie.ag/sportsbook/xfl/ where a negative number means that team is expected to win by that much and a positive number means that team is expected to lose by that much. A "best bets" column that picks two of the "dogs"- expected losers - to win and explains why is here: https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/story.cfm/story/2002100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted February 8, 2020 Share #19 Posted February 8, 2020 Me, but the field will be made of ice, the ball will be circular, but flat. The cleats will be very narrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted February 8, 2020 Share #22 Posted February 8, 2020 Just got back from a ride and am watching the DC v Seattle game. It’s OK... not the NFL, maybe on par with college play. Its definitely not a train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 8, 2020 Share #23 Posted February 8, 2020 I recall the xfl from back in high school for a few seasons..., just flicked on the tv. The ball is cool.

Zephyr Posted February 8, 2020 Share #25 Posted February 8, 2020 It looks like it is filled with players not good enough for the cfl..., so in other words, not very good. The Cowboys could probably have a +.500 season in that league To make it interesting.., there should be none of this contact with the ground crap. If you cant hold onto the ball when you hit the ground, yiu don't deserve the ball. Lots more turnovers..., lots more excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD Posted February 9, 2020 Share #27 Posted February 9, 2020 Thru 1.5 games: Entertaining, definitely highly skilled players. Of course, they haven't played together before and we're seeing almost all zone defense (as soon as the ball is snapped, the CB's butts are pointed toward the sidelines) and 4-3 D's (4-down linemen): few 3-4 setups where one of the 4 linebackers doesn't doesn't reveal he'll effectively be the 4th down lineman/pass rusher until the ball is snapped. I guess they haven't practiced enough to get tricky with the D. The wide receivers seem to be finding a lot of holes with fly and post/corner-patterns (deep routes), where the CB's and safeties seem a little confused about deep coverage - I'm surprised there's not a lot more Tampa-2 type packages - which are run usually run out of 4-3 D's where the middle linebacker drops back with the safeties on pass plays - the defensive backs need help back there and that clogs the middle of the field and lets the CB's stick with receivers going deep. The D's are doing well against short passes: quick out and slant patterns aren't working well, but usually running plays work when that's the case and that hasn't been happening (of course, Houston just had two quick-out short completions as I type as LA put a 5th man on the D-line). You'd think the O-lines would be a little ahead of the D-lines right now but that's not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For first games for all teams I thought the play was pretty good. College level. There were a few times when everyone wasn’t on the same page but not as many as I expected. I was real impressed with Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
