XFL 2020 - Week 2

[aussiedude]

KJ Wright and Kam Chancellor attended the Dragons hone game. And Todd Gurley and Josh Gordon attended the Wildcats game...this week. NFL stars starting to get hyped.

But were they paid? Wouldnt put it past a league to pay NFL players or celebs to get shown on the sidelines.

Houston-St Louis was a great spectacle.

pretty action-packed game LA -Dallas too. Best two games of the week.

Btw, what an indictment on the Chargers. A 60 year old team in THE nfl, only drawing about 20-25k at the same stadium that a start-up Wildcats team is able to get 15k in its inaugural home game.

Roughnecks Battlehawks game was a cracker. Great QB play. Big 2nd half rally from STL to turn the game around in the 3rd. All in all a quality affair - more of this and there won't be any complaints about the player standards. And thea Roughnecks won. Yeeehaw!

Now the refs, yikes, they weren't great. I get the feeling that the league is happy not to review plays and let the game move on, happened a few times where things were worth another look, yet the ball was snapped and on we went.

The guy in the replay booth for this game seemed to be cracking under the scrutiny of the whole world. Each review he would uphold a call, then reverse it, then fumble around trying to work out where the ball should be spotted. A bit amateur hour.

I'm pretty confident that we have a good product, the QB play, officiating, replay booth and the Vipers will improve in the upcoming weeks (just hopefully not next week for TB).

You just know they'll suffer their first loss against a winless/hapless team.
Heard it here first.

You're more confident in all of those things than I am.

There appears to only be 5 or 6 decent QBs in the league at present and I don't see that changing until next season at the earliest and reffing at both NFL and CFB is always inconsistent. As for the Vipers, they need a new HC and QB before they get better because Trestman and Murray/Cornelius have proven themselves to be no good.

So if we add another East conference team, where would a new West Conf team be based? Oakland or SD after their teams shipped off? Arizona is decent market.

San Diego or San Francisco/Oakland would be the best
