Fuck off.
Fuck off.
I had no idea about this Kansas City geographical anomaly.
Which is fine if you're not in charge of the country where that's the case.
Probably that they don't have a bright yellow line to base that off.Originally Posted by niko_cee

What was the deal with them continually getting to within a yard of the first down and then cutting in and not making said distance? Was driving me mad.
They know exactly where the first down line is, every time, without needing to refer to imaginary lines, or the very real massive fucking pylons on the side of the pitch.
That's 'Receiving and route-running 101' as I believe would be the parlance.
Most routes are designed to break after x yards, so they know damn well without looking. It'd be like asking a goalkeeper where his goal is without him looking.
In other news, DOUBLE MINSHEW MANIA is ON as the Jags have agreed to play 2 back-to-back UK home games in 2020.
I mean they so often run the route short though. This wild characterization they ALWAYS know is a little extreme.
It was more that they were cutting to try and get extra yards, but it must have happened 2 or 3 times where they were almost literally at the 1st down line (Hill and Kelce definitely did it) before stepping back and ending up with an X and 1 instead of a first down, which, to me, was quite frustrating.
If they regularly don’t know then they should be playing this coming weekend.
Oh no I mean Kelce did it one time where it was so blatant I got pissed off and I had no horse in the race.
What I mean is, though, you were saying "They know exactly where the first down line is, every time, without needing to refer to imaginary lines, or the very real massive fucking pylons on the side of the pitch." man do you know how many times these dumb assholes have ran an out route and came up a yard or two short on 3rd down and how many times I've wanted to fuckin reach through the tv and choke them the fuck out lol
lol and nah for sure it doesn't happen ALL the time but when it does it drives me insane.
Eric Weddle retired.

Can I sue them for not getting them to show more skin?
XFL time!
Kickoffs look weird.
Go Vipers.
Wtf are these kickoffs?
I do like that we can hear the mic'd up coaches and QB.
Edit: I'm also between Defenders (Elam and Cardale) or Guardians (uni).

Cracking play by Cardale.
Enjoying this so far.
Ah shit, forgot this was todayOut to the cinema so I’ll catch up tomorrow. Did I hear that it’s on BT ESPN?
BT Sport 3.
ESPN Player also.
Player says 'Fucking' in an interview and we get a punt block TD within about 30 seconds. Scenes.
Got home just in time to watch Chad Kanoff throw a hissy fit.
I'm liking this XFL.
Going for it at 4 and 8
I also like the fact that the clock is constantly active when there's a dead ball and/or penalty which is fucking wild.

I only watched the first half of the first game but I enjoyed it.
Yeah, just watched the highlights of both games & it was pretty good. Quality is about the same as the AAF, but the rule changes help give it something different.
Cardale Jones looks to be the best of the four QBs that played, although Phillip Walker had a really strong game up until he threw a pick at the end. The two former Cooper Kupp backups Nelson Spruce & Austin Proehl stood out as well. Tyree Jackson, however, embarrassed himself in the few snaps he took - just seemed to have no idea what to do & got himself sacked on two conversion attempts.
Is Austin Proehl anything to Ricky?
I liked what I seen of the first game.
Think spruce was looking pretty solid in that series of hard knocks but has a duff knee. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone took a swing on him next season.
Yeah, I think Austin is his son.
I’d imagine you’ll get Proehl & Spruce, Cardale, Kony Ealy & Rashad Ross at least get a look through training camp, plus anyone else who emerges & people I’ve forgotten from the teams that haven’t played yet. Tyree will get a look too just because of TRAITS.

Greg Olson as a commentator?
He did a few games last season & they loved him, so he'll be doing it full-time as soon as he decides he doesn't want to play next year.
I know the stadium is bigger but the crowd looks seriously poor at this one.
No catch for me but that was some hit.
Lol at them using an Xbox controller.
Some weird looking cheerleading squad during intermission on my stream
Player mics not even working

Vipers are looking pretty shit.
Ricky Walker
These teams don't look quite as good as DC & Houston did, although NY do have my boy from the AAF Jamar Summers.
Cracking catch.
Murray sucks.
Jamar
The Tampa Bay Vipers are the worst team in the league by miles so far.
Clearly they are channeling the LOLphins.
The offensive playcalls from the Vipers are so
Jesus, it took about two minutes for the Vipers to decide whether they wanted to take a 10 second runoff or not. Marc Trestman is doing a fantastic job outing himself as a terrible head coach.
This whole offence has just been an utter disaster.
I liked Jordan Ta'amu coming out of college, so hopefully he doesn't shit the bed here.
RIP Rivers.
Was that not a couple of weeks ago?
It wasn't official back then.
You know we finished the season 5-4, so.
