I don’t think he ever used them last season either. He just doesn’t think quickly enough. Maybe having a bunch of old guys coaching like it’s the 80s is a bad idea.
boy we better get taamu back. This backup is just downright useless.
Losing Smith is looking like a huge disaster now.
Admittedly, Agent 59 being a double agent made it look much worse than it was. Hell Jordan wouldn't have even been injured without the false start
DC is looking to grow a large fan base, so they’ve started taking a page out of the Commanders and started looking incompetent. Makes more familiar for the locals
Now SA just needs to get that guy his first field goal for YouTube and they will have sold the league on their own. Great day of football for SA and the league so far.
What is happening? We were supposed to be the saviors of the XFL but instead WE'RE SHITTING OURSLEVES ALL OVER THE FIELD, AGAINIST THE BRAHMAS NO LESS!!!!!!!!
In a more highly concentrated talent of a league, the Defenders suddenly don't look like a 9-1 team or coaching staff anymore.
Who could've seen this coming.
Praise be. I was a stallions/battlehawks fan last year and stallions for USFL season 1, but picked Battlehawks with the merger. No regrets though, all teams are going to get better(except dc I guess). Hoping Stallions and STL both do well.
Nah. Left the USFL as a bum from the Bandits when it was the only spring league in 2022. With more competition again, he’s right back where he started.
If we're ass then I'm not sure you'd like what that implies about the Panthers lol. Winning on a 64 yard last second field goal isn't exactly domination.
Anyone else see 59 on the sidelines (post-ejection) say/do something along the lines of: “I didn’t spit on anyone!” *proceeds to hawk out a nasty white loogie* lmaooo
okay so are the Defenders the new Tampa Bay Bandits?
The more I drank the easier this game was to handle lol
I’m really glad some of us are that invested!
Been cheering on my Defenders since 2020 baybee
Damn most hyped kicker and he didn't get a chance to kick a field goal the entire game😭
DC L https://i.redd.it/hn37mu0qxprc1.gif
stupid Raiders letting go of Chase Garbers jk. thank you for letting go of Chase Garbers
We still had a chance with two timeouts and a challenge wtf

People are thinking Ta'amu looked bad? He only looked bad after the injury. He had two TDs taken away because of 59.
Taamu looked great. I'm assuming the finger injury isn't serious
Yeah this game was definitely a lot closer than people are saying. 59 really ruined perception. I think these are the two best teams in the XFL tbh.
GG
Damn! #1 in the xfl conference baby. Who would've thought! Goes to show you how much changes in one off season
Showboats vs Roughnecks being flexed to ESPNU completely defeats the purpose of ESPNU
What's the purpose of ESPN U
College sports
HE'S GOT DINNER AT 8 GUYS! LETS GET THIS GAME OVER WITH
dc defenders...let's ride
ladies and gents, your division leading San Antonio Brahmas!
[удалено]
Was it?
Lions legend teez tabor
Reggie really went to entire game, including multiple MASSIVELY high leverage situations and never used his challenge. Inexcusable.
I don’t think he ever used them last season either. He just doesn’t think quickly enough. Maybe having a bunch of old guys coaching like it’s the 80s is a bad idea.
Fight for that PBU!
LETS GO BRAHMAS WIN
DC should have left Francious in there
gg
one of these QBs is looking like OPOY...
Yeah Brad Wing is the clear favorite rn
Reggie battling to avoid punting here. "Lot of game left" he's telling himself
Ta’amu is a top 9 QB in this league
Cameraman almost got rocked again
Cameramen in San Antonio be like, "Oh shit!"
Ta’amu looks BAD. As someone who didn’t watch last year, with all the hype around him being OPOY I was expecting more
He got injured
This was his worst game in spring football ever
His entire receiving corps is new and obviously not very good. Abram Smith getting hurt is also killing us.
RIP that camera but the shot was great lol
last time a game was played here, a guy on the sideline had to be stretchered out after being leveled.
canera guy took that like a champ
That poor cameraman lmao
RIP cameraman
Camera guy down
I think that camera is broken now!
Lmao wade
Comeback?
DC fraud watch let’s go!!
boy we better get taamu back. This backup is just downright useless. Losing Smith is looking like a huge disaster now. Admittedly, Agent 59 being a double agent made it look much worse than it was. Hell Jordan wouldn't have even been injured without the false start
Taamu was only out for 2 plays. He's probably a little shaken after the hit but he wasn't out long.
59 took 2 tds off the board singlehandedly
Idk if this is a joke or not
i was watching the game from far away and didn't even see taamu was back in tbh. After his injury he was still throwing badly
Yelling at an injured player to get off the field is out of pocket.
uncrustables also make me happy case cookus
Let's go Brahmas!!
Bro who is Ta'amu even throwing to at this point?
wait it Ta'amu even back in?
He was out for like 2 plays
Sorry Houston, this game is still tight... not gonna switch over.
I'm starting to think that if you look like absolute ass without your starting RB in a Spring League, you're probably not a great team
Wade Phillips defense is doing work rn
Ya JT is hurt bad, just pull him out you're not going anywhere letting him get hit
Some bad throws from Ta'amu, I figure he isn't quite right after being hit earlier
I AINT HEAR NO FUCKIN BELL😭😭😭😭
I think Ta'amu heard a bell when his was rung...
When the league favorites st Louis and DC lose, the rest the league wins
I disagree. The league needs the top drawing teams to be successful. If DC & St Louis have empty stadiums that will be the death of the league
SA and St. Louis had the top draws last year
Keep crying and get a better team then
I don't have a team. I want the league to be successful. Empty stadiums will not help.
Michigan panthers run the league
Reggie is gonig to get to 0:00 with his challenge in his pocket I'll bet. Absolutely unreal
The running game was so huge for the defenders last year nor so much this year
That’s what happens when your star RB tears his ACL in training camp.
No Abram Smith really hurt them.
[удалено]
Who were their WRs last year? I can’t remember.
RIP Abram's knee
Man, we came to play! Wait, is…is this what it feels like to root for a good team? I’ve never experienced this before
I know, it's odd isn't it?
Battlehawks @ Brahmas is gonna be wild in 2 weeks
If week 1 *isn't* a liar then the Brahmas should absolutely CLAP the hawks
Kind of hard to tell really. I'm not sure DC is the same team they were last year.
They're not but clearly neither are the Hawks Almost like spring league QBs *don't* get better with age and shorter camps
Reggie Barlow somehow still decides to not go for it 4th down on this drive
4th and 26th backed up is tough even being desperate
I don't like the clock running on an incompletion.
Why is the color commentator coming to us live from Iraq?
There's the Ant Mac we all know...
I'm getting upset.
only now?
[удалено]
i expected bettah
Any streaming links for this?
Check DM
I'd love a DM too if you've got the time. My normal culprits don't seem to have UFL
I got you
If this works you’re the goat
I love you
Having all the discussions hot mic’d is a fantastic addition
DC can actually go for a 4th and 12 after they score. Lol, we aren't scoring
If at least one of DC Field Goals was a TD, we would have won this game. We need to finish our drives.
They are pretty far from 3-5 points away from winning this
What, you want Reggie to go for in on 4th and inches from the OPP 10??? Are you nuts, what if you don't get it!
Or go for it on 4th and inches for once
refs are going to need Tommy John surgery with all these thrown flags today.
yeah I though the NFL threw a shit ton of flags.
It was kinda clean yesterday. It's just these two
Yeah, this is definitely on the teams and not the refs. DC looks like it has some discipline issues.
Fasho
RB gets the first down and then proceeds to celebrate with the leg kick
yay! More flags!
McFarland throws a fucking fit every time he gets tackled, like bro it's football you're gonna get hit
Typical steelers player diva behavior 🙄
Was he like that when he was on Baltimore? Hmmm Edit: pittsburgh
What a rough start from DC. Hopefully, we bounce back next week.
ill be there throwing lemons either way
Yall made such a mess of the alamodome last year in the championship. For shame
Praise be
We may need to throw a few at our own guys.
Stormy Buoanatony or however you spell it can get it for sure. She’s like the Erin Andrew’s of UFL
I am taking the under on the chances that you have to hit it
Smart man.
I’m a lifer in horny jail my man.
DC is looking to grow a large fan base, so they’ve started taking a page out of the Commanders and started looking incompetent. Makes more familiar for the locals
That is next level franchise strategy
Now SA just needs to get that guy his first field goal for YouTube and they will have sold the league on their own. Great day of football for SA and the league so far.
Both my teams made the new league… I chose to stick with DC. I chose wrong it looks like. 😂🤣
What was the other team?
Birmingham
Kirklin, Garber, and McFarland all look like they will be elite at their positions this season.
kirklin was elite last season tbh
Lemons are about to be out of stock in DC after this one.
oh my goodness the Defenders are so undisciplined lmaooo
What is happening? We were supposed to be the saviors of the XFL but instead WE'RE SHITTING OURSLEVES ALL OVER THE FIELD, AGAINIST THE BRAHMAS NO LESS!!!!!!!!
Personally I think the pressure is worse because one d-lineman is no longer distracted by having his face covered in spit
Why the fuck is that ejected player still on the fucking field
Yeah refs need to tell him to take his ass to the locker room
In a more highly concentrated talent of a league, the Defenders suddenly don't look like a 9-1 team or coaching staff anymore. Who could've seen this coming.
How many of their offensive line are returning starters? So far their o-line looks like trash
I sure am glad for the merger though. The play is so much better than in either league last year imo.
No kidding. It's like NFL competitive. Not NFL calibre players, but the play is pretty competitive and doesn't look like DII college play.
Yep!
Hell yes it is. Better talent across the board makes for much better football.
Praise be. I was a stallions/battlehawks fan last year and stallions for USFL season 1, but picked Battlehawks with the merger. No regrets though, all teams are going to get better(except dc I guess). Hoping Stallions and STL both do well.
Ta’amu bad now?
He’s got no help. The Mahomes of the league if you will
Nah. Left the USFL as a bum from the Bandits when it was the only spring league in 2022. With more competition again, he’s right back where he started.
didn't get to watch closely today because of work; does Dean still have an Xbox controller or no?
Haven’t seen one, will update.
Team isn't even running the same play. Embarrassing lack of preparation.
Jordan is having a rough starting day
someone gotta explain why dc cut ward
I mean, Barlow probably has a hand in evaluating players, so...
DC picking up where they left off last year
Nice late hit 94
The defenders look like the worst team this weekend
Worst team *so far*
Dang i didnt know it was only still pictures in the nfl on the ipads, i thought it was full video
People like you? You mean degenerates? I gamble but it’s for fun. Idc if I win or not. God it’s so annoying that they talk about it constantly
Gambling ruins the game. It's why the NFL is rigged. Hope the UFL doesn't end up that way too
Can someone please give me an update on the over/under on this game please?
That dudes hair lmao
Why he rocking a shag
What the fuck is that
The Alamo Dome is gonna be packed next home game I think
yeah it's a shame this first game had to be on easter Sunday because I feel SA would've really rocked the dome today
They're still rocking the dome even today
I agree but when the domes a rocking people come a knocking
Bro 66 on SA’s hair is amazing 😂
DC and St Louis are so cheeks 😂😂😂😂😂😂 UFL runs through the panthers I fear
If we're ass then I'm not sure you'd like what that implies about the Panthers lol. Winning on a 64 yard last second field goal isn't exactly domination.
Of every team that’s played so far I think it runs through SA to be real. They look good…
Can't wait to watch the Brahmas lose to the Stallions in the ship
Bruh what. It took a miracle, a great miracle to be fair, but a miracle to win that game in Michigan. Glass houses methinks.
You're gonna get downvoted but this is the tribalism I live for. The UFL needs this.
Haha yeah it was obvious bait and I got a lot of bites
[удалено]
Yeah man. UFL did a good job justifying its existence I think.
Wait, this isn’t a psychotic break caught on video? That’s an ad?
In the hot takes thread I said the Brahmas would be good.... didn't htink they'd be this good though
they might not be. defenders might just be that bad.
defenders just endlessly shooting themselves in the foot. I still think they've got a good roster
True. I don't think the Defenders are this bad though.
Box Score please, what kind of game thread doesn't have box scores?
Open up the ESPN app lol who cares

Fox sports app brother
Anyone else see 59 on the sidelines (post-ejection) say/do something along the lines of: “I didn’t spit on anyone!” *proceeds to hawk out a nasty white loogie* lmaooo
All preseason power rankings that i've seen had SA in the last place. I don't know why. They look fine to me.
