Curious. Why are they showing a replay of last night's game?

Oh. This is why.

I’m excited for Houston. After all this time they finally got a professional team after the Oilers left.

Play every game in Alabama, they said. It’ll be a perfect springtime setting they said…

There's like 10 people at this game. Probably rain and Easter

My favorite part about this so far is the idiots on Twitter not understanding that lightning exists, and that domes are beyond the budget of a smaller startup league.

[1ManRaid]

Ugh, hate sweeps to the short side of the field.  Limits your space to work with.

[fasteddie]

Is anyone annoyed listening to the noise of the drone during the play? Makes it sound like the players are mechanized. 

Very strange.

[Logic]

I like that Houston went hurry-up spread.

 

QB play subpar for both teams, as expected .

[PromoTheRobot]

Derp.

[Logic]

The games seem so much longer when the quality of play on the field is poorer. Like….there’s three more quarters of this?!

They had a good turnout for the home team yesterday. 

 

Quote

Officials say attendance was around 17,500 for the game, though about 40,000 tickets were sold or distributed. They say rain impacted the anticipated attendance.

Late start due to lightning.

Paxton Lynch not helping his cause to return to the NFL.

Honestly enjoying this game - it’s not NFL but it’s still pretty fun. I’m rooting for Houston because of Jimbo’s days there and they seem to have a decent team out there. QB just threaded a beautiful TD pass over 2 defenders while under pressure.

 

if you go into it expecting the NFL you’re gonna hate it, but if you can just sit and enjoy the game for what it is you’re probably gonna like it

if one wanted to see a game down by the old mill stream, please point me in the right direction

Paxton Lynch was a 1st rd NFL pick and he can't even play well enough for the USFL. Oy!

[Beast]

Jason Garrett saying Paxton Lynch has a lot of the same skills that Josh Allen does.

 

That tells me one of two things.

 

1- They'll say anything to make people believe these players have a legitimate shot at making the NFL and it's a quality product.

 

2- Jason Garrett really believes that and it is no wonder he is no longer employed by an NFL team.

He's terrible and completely uncoachable. That was the dumbest 1st round pick ever in my recent memory.

Generals, Gamblers, Maulers seem like the top 3 teams just based on my quick review of the rosters and the QB/coach tandems they have. It made me a tad bit more excited to root for the Gamblers. I'm not watching this league to root for a losing team...
