XFL Championship Game
Arlington Renegades Vs DC Defenders

 

[aussiedude]

Houston now on a 3 game losing streak. Now have the 4th best record in the league but lead the South division.
Final 3 weeks are the return games of the Division H2H games.

but the North is by far the better division.

 

[Exe Gesis]

This is how the wild card idea was invented in the NFL when it was a tiny 8-12 team league. Always a 3rd place team in one division with a better record than teams in another division that made the playoffs

What a terrible time to be a a Roughnecks fan .

 

[aussiedude]

The records might not look as bad in a few weeks with San Antonio and Arlington picking up a few easy wins in the South and Seattle or St. Louis copping a few L's.

but the North is by far the better team.

 

[Exe Gesis]

They should've made it ...the division winner of each division makes playoffs plus next best two teams, instead of top 2 from each division

They should've made it ...the division winner of each division makes playoffs plus next best two teams, instead of top 2 from each division

Or an 8 team playoff

Biggest game of the year for my Dragons.

Need to beat the top team this week to be certain to make the finals.

Always a bit iffy after a long winning streak.

But I reckon they can do it !

Fake punt to TD at the dome with 35k in attendance

 

[Bigelow]

oh well, the dragons had a chance.

They were in the game early, but when you trailling all day, you are just not quite good enough.

Last chance next week for the finals, have to beat the Battlehawks.

Go Dragons

There is still hope

A good win by the Dragons over the Battlehawks

But to make the finals, they need to win beat the Vipers and hope the last placed Orlando Guarduians can spring a surprise upset on the Battlehawks.

Sea Dragons are officially in 2nd place, Battlehawks 3rd. They only have to take care of their own business, win and in.

Not according to the XFL website and ESPN.
They are still in 3rd place in the division.

Battlehawks chased the pioints today and won by 25.
They were behind the Dragons prior to this round by 18 points on the tie-break criteria of for and against points.

So my Dragons will have to win by at least 8 points to make the finals.

I think.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Heartbreak for the Brahnas, missed end of game FG for the win to have a shot at the playoffs.

 

[aussiedude]

Seattle looking the goods for the 2 seed. man St.Louis would be a far better game for Houston than a rematch of todays game
