How did your players do in the Super Bowl?

[Wild Turkey]

Bosa is only effective because everyone is worried about Dee Ford.

 

[Tortilla Launcher]

Did ok.

 

[LongTimeSooner]

Was I seeing things or did they say the XFL allows ‘double passes’?!?

Not like the NFL where if you throw it backwards, you can pass it again, but literally, if you catch a pass and see a teammate open downfield, you can throw it to him?!?

ah, the ole 'peruvian teabag' play

 

[Tin Man]

Shakira zaghrouta, yes!
JLo, dat ass!

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Deebooooo did well in the first half, and then they stopped involving him in the second.

 

[Tin Man]

Emmanuel Moseley 5 tackles, 1 pass defended

Dustin Colquitt 2 punts, 50 yrd avg; holder 1 FG, 4 PATs

So do ya pick the team closest to you? Or is it a free for all when declaring fandom for this ?

 

[Gohogs14]

Dre Greenlaw with four tackles, not a bad rookie year for a 5th round pick.

 

[Gatorchip]

Damien Willimas scored a touchdown

If that is your assessment of his performance, then I'm guessing you didn't watch the game. Not only is it incorrect (2 touchdowns), but he was damn near the Chiefs offensive MVP.

 

[Gatorchip]

Gators were non-factors in the superbowl.

Demarcus Robinson (WR-KC): miscommunicated with Mahomes during a scramble. I don't think he got another target the rest of the game.

Marcell Harris (S-49ers): I didn't notice him. No stats. Maybe didn't play.

 

[NolePride]

Derrick Nnadi started at DT for KC and Cam Erving started at OT for KC.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

No Jayhawks in the SB this year as far as I can recall. Ok with that shaking out even If I am still bitter over the Chiefs spurning McDougald and Harris.

Something about being behind the line of scrimmage in that rule.

3 more Sooners with Super Bowl rings last night. Oklahoma ties Clemson with the most players with Super Bowl rings.

How many is that now for OU? Total?

Well, I'll cheer for the team being coached by a former Gopher, of course!!!

 

[obxyankeefan]

Torn ACL in season finale. Second UVA rookie DB to get a ring without playing in the postseason.

Anthony Poindexter with Baltimore almost 20years ago was the first.

 

[naslundfan19]

DeForest Buckner had 6 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Arik Armstead had 3 tackles. Solid.

But how many Fortune 500 companies does that town have?

Ahhhh — I heard it and I just thought of a guy running a slant, catching the ball and then on the run — throwing it deep

Not only do they have to be behind the LOS, but can't have passed it at any point. They see it as a way to be more creative in the passing game with quick double strike passes, but it's just an experiment.

FYI, the head of officiating for the league is Dean Blandino. They are looking at quite a few fairly radical rules, but also some I'm sure some would love to see in college or the NFL.

They are going to go from a 40 second to 25 second play clock to speed up the game. Will have coach to all skill player and coach to one defensive player comms (helmet speaker) that broadcast networks will have access to check in on.

One foot inbounds like college.

Every play subject to potential replay with no coaches challenges, called from officials. Limited on what can be reviewed, but supposed to be fairly quick. They want to get things right without slowing the game. Let's see what they come up with.

Simplified illegal man downfield. Basically moves from 1y to 3y.

10 minute halftimes.

More running clock (even after incompletions) until last 2 mins of half, then it stops more to allow more chances for comebacks.

Sure, the kickoffs, punting, and OT are quite different and may not be hits, but they are testing out things refs and insiders have talked about for a long time.

I'm going to give them all a chance. I expect the talent to be mostly bad/semi bad, but I want to see some of what they are working on.
