February 8, 20205 yr comment_460567 The kickoff setup basically makes it impossible for the return team to set up blocks for a big return. Might as well get rid of kickoffs.

Talent level not very high, which is pretty much always the downfall of these leagues, especially with QB's who can't pass. Certainly not wide-open football, one offensive TD so far. The worst tackling I've ever seen in my life. Is horse collar not a penalty in the xfl either? Screens qb roll outs piss poor attempts at read option. The quality of football is worse then o thought it'd be.

There's been some pretty horrific headshots on receivers in this game too, one was on a tailback on a screen he took a headshot on the initial contact and as he was heading down to the turf another guy drilled him helmet to helmet. Not many flags.
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460579 I don’t understand how so many NFL fans are excited about this league. The quality is not great, and has some silly rules

February 8, 20205 yr comment_460582 There's some good receivers in this game. Proehl on Seattle is a guy I'd neg list. QB's are junk.
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460584 Nice that they leave the mics hot when a guy is injured and being tended to for all of us to hear.🙃

TSN did kind of do that with Masoli.
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460594 Whitfield on LA has some nice patience and vision. The football isn’t great but it’s not as bad as some of you are making it out to be. This is week one of eight expansion teams, will take some time for these guys to build chemistry, especially O line. Edited February 8, 20205 yr by O2L
February 8, 20205 yr Author comment_460596 Walker for Houston is easily the best qb so far. This game is much better then the first but still pretty meh football
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460598 I do like hearing the conversation between the ref and replay official. CFL can steal some of the good ideas.
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460603 Ratings will be big. Trending huge on twitter. Reminds me of the first couple games of the CFL season tho, sloppy with some moments. Edited February 8, 20205 yr by Goalie
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460606 The only actual kickoff return I've seen was because of a muffed catch. Wonder how quickly they'd adjust the rules...and how they didn't realize the lineup would make it impossible to bust a return.
February 8, 20205 yr comment_460608 Its more exciting than the NFL. Thats for sure. Ppl need to just enjoy it and stop criticising week 1 of season 1. CFL sucks for weeks also

CFL sucks for weeks also Maybe more exciting than a game between the 29th and 30th best QB's. There's been one QB out of four so far who is a reasonable passer, the guy on LA. They'd be smart to adopt some rules that would actually help the offenses and QB's out, like allowing unlimited motion pre-snap. Special teams has basically been taken out of this game which doesn't add to excitement IMO. That's where the better coached teams shine through and tons of big plays happen, plus plays that set up scores, exchanges of field position. So far through 6 quarters almost every offensive drive is starting around their own 30, field position is not a part of this game because of the rules. Big plays on D are exciting too!

February 9, 20205 yr comment_460624 The "X" does not actually stand for anything in XFL. Which is pretty hilarious. So...Football League

I believe the shareholders won't allow McMahon to do that.
