I watched, Thought it was entertaining. Im not sure what is so "Xtreme" about it though. It felt less extreme than the Alliance to be honest. The PAT tries were interesting. I'm undecided on how I feel about the kickoffs. Also being in the booth during official replay reviews is kind of pointless. I like that they have a shorter time to make a decision but dont really need to "see how the sausage is made" as one commentator put it. My big question is do I root for the NY team or use the opportunity to root for someone else. Unlike others opinions, I think it's less interesting that all but 1 team are from cities with an NFL team. I was thinking of rooting for St. Louis Where'd you get "Xtreme" from?

I figured thats what the X stood for in XFL. X-games, the X stands for extreme

McGloin throws off his back foot a lot. Looks like he's losing his cool too. He's really negative in those sideline interviews. Williams looks to have a better arm.

He is awful. I saw it last week too. Even XFL standards he is bad. Gets rattled too easily. Forces throws into double and tipple coverage . Telegraphs his intent. ( bad habits)

If you watched the LA game last week their QB was losing it too.
I guess we only know this because they mike these guys in the XFL.

Parham from Dallas = 6'8" 240, 4.6 40, 36 vertical. Didn't make NFL?
Spruce from LA looks good. Good hands and gets open.

2 weeks in still very interesting Much better than the flood of useless college basketball (the weekly hockey game also is good)
Very crisp for a league just put together....the qb play is what it is..lots of guys with warts that haven't played in a long time.This is why on hope this league lasts,getting some of these guys or better yet,a college kid that slipped through the cracks in the draft that has talent some.regular playing time will improve the league
Your Tony Romos,Kurt Kitnas,Kurt Warners.

The Guardians are by far the worst team in this league.
Really ruined this sport for me. They are unwatchable.
Gilbride still sucks. Lol

McGloin throws into triple coverage. He sucks. Something about Gilbride does that to QBs When Gilbride has Warren Moon or Eli he looks like a genius. When he has a jabroni....erm...... maybe a castoff from one of the last cuts this next preseason that has raw ability but not going to get a chance.. I still say the quality of football is much better than I expected. Watching LA vs DC.. Josh Johnson looks good... That guy he hit on a long TD pass,Tre McBride,was someone I wanted the Giants to go after when he came out day 3 that year...

One thing I never liked about his system is how they always tended to get off to a slow start, especially in the 2010-2013 time period.
Another thing....I always though that he was really stubborn especially his last few seasons. I remember in 2013 when the O-line was atrocious he basically stated that it was hard for him to make the adjustment (mid-season) from being a downfield offense, to focusing the game plan on quicker routes in order to get the ball out of Eli's hands quicker.
It was at that point that I lost all faith in him. It was such a simple adjustment.

By the way. I saw a player by the name of Will Hill on the St. Louis team. Is that THE Will Hill, former Giant?

What horrific tackling by DC.. Vipers are running and running and running,
Oh and running again... TD run
DC 5 and out
Vipers running...running.....DC's defense gassed already by the end of the 1st quarter Oh ,go for it twice on 4the and 1..they can't stop it
Why throw it at all when your running game is averaging 7 plus a carry...

I am really starting to like this league a lot The quality of play is quite crisp and while we don't get NFL caliber passing all the time are are seeing a good quality of football,almost a perfect "minor league " quality of play,similar to what you would see in minor league hockey or double/triple A baseball
Seems like we are seeing a trend now of a lot of your running QBs taking over and RPO being what's driving a lot of offenses,understandable if you don't have legit passing qbs..
Really love the replay on field and listening in
Dare I say the officiating is superior to the NFL?
