PromoTheRobot Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) DC vs Arlington. The Renegades were a controversial playoff team, sub .500, St. Louis with a better record got shut out. But they took out top seed Houston to get here. https://www.espn.com/xfl/story/_/id/37569074/xfl-2023-championship-preview-games-schedule-players-know-watch-picks Edited May 13, 2023 by PromoTheRobot 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) No former Bills on the teams as far as I can tell. I remember I picked the DC Defenders in the first comeback of the XFL because Cardale Jones was their quarterback. I guess I'll root for them again. Now that I think about it, I only picked the Birmingham Iron in the old AAF because Bills legend Colton Schmidt was their punter.

Poleshifter Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This should be one sided contest, unfortunately. DC is very good with a 9-1 regular season record. Arlington is 4-6 from the weak South division. It was a fun season in any case. I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I liked hearing the officials audio, especially on replays. I thought overall the XFL was very well officiated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks are snobs about football. No offense intended, but once they see the best, they don’t enjoy the lower tiers. I enjoy the CFL, XFL, USFL, college ball, whatever. I even watch some televised high school ball. Different strokes for different folks. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides these are 2 better teams and they have 11 weeks behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Arlington is dominating so far. They traded for QB Perez in week 7 and boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenosha2Buffalo Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 The xfl is of quality. I like it for being sort of a minor league or g league type deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBoots8 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hot take (?): DC Defenders literally have better uniforms and name/logo than the Commanders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m simply saying that given a finite amount of free time, watching the XFL or USFL (or CFL) doesn’t move the needle for me one bit. I specifically make time for the NFL and other sports I watch. I’m not being critical of anyone else who watches these leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I mildly enjoyed the xfl this season. It has potential to be a good league. I still think the nfl should be involved to make it more appealing to nfl fans. These teams should be playing in nfl stadiums Imo. There's lots of things I think the xfl/nfl could do to make the league more appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because any direct involvement with these leagues opens them up to further potential CTE liability. So the NFL will remain arms-length from the XFL and USFL, while still working with these leagues through official training, and using them as a laboratory for rules changes.
