MeanGreenDogs64 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It's like watching the 2nd half of a preseason game. A couple of college has beens and a couple of scrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyLife Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Quality of play is better than I expected. Agree with Lion that the pace of the game is better. Dont really like not having kickoffs but that is probably coming to every level of football. Big hit on the SD QB would be a highlightย film play in any league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 ^ Shaan Washington will be on some radars after that hit.ย The passing attack is definitely ahead of the rushing attack.ย San Antonioโs helmets are slick. Has the Alamo on the back of it.ย These spring leagues are great for QBs. Reps. Give these young QBs reps and you can find a Kurt Warner. A Trent Green.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The highlights looked good to me, but where can you find a box score ??? ย I can see some of these players getting a shot in the NFL especially a couple of the receivers for San Antonio. ย I see Gavin Escobar found a job, and heard on the radio that Trent Richardson is playing fairly well for Birmingham. ย It does look better than the USFL and the XFL were. ย Who knows. ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I liked what I saw yesterday. As long as they stay a spring league, they may have a niche. There are a lot of heavy hitters behind this league. Interested to see what the XFL does to compete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I really like Birmingham's physical style of play. They're kinda like an off-brand combination of Baltimore and Pittsburgh.ย Count me as a viewer.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I"m actually enjoying the AAF.ย No.... it's not NFL caliber...but does it have to be in order to be entertaining?ย Most of us would admit to liking HS football over NFL football.ย So the level of talent clearly isn't what drives people's love of the game. They have a good model if they can make it work.ย If different soccer leagues can thrive in Europe with their favorite sport (Soccer)... there is absolutely no reason a pro football league NOTย in direct competition of the NFL can'tย flourish.ย ย I question some of the franchise placements.ย The Weather is a little tough in Salt Lake City and Memphis in February. EIther playing indoors....or mostly inย warm weather cities will be their mojo for attendance.ย But the TV ratings seem to be doing well enough for a start up. It's going to be interesting to see how the XFL will fit in with this next season. Rumors are already flying about a championship game between the AAF and the XFL in the future.ย Even rumors of a merger down the road.ย Interesting stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well I actually DVR'd the Memphis/Birmingham game last night so I could watch it and would have control of FFW'ing, etc. I have to admit I was disappointed that the Express didn't play Johnny more...actually everything after about the third drive or at least the end of the 1st quarter. Silvers had no touch, simply threw the ball to hard and high to his receivers most of the time and couldn't make a play with his feet if something broke down. After that first series Johnny was in, I felt like they told him to stop taking off with the ball...which his breakout ability is what makes him so lethally dangerous. A play breaks down and he starts to take off...he either goes or the defense comes towards him too quick and WR's are left wide open for big plays.
