It's pretty interesting and brand new I've never seen it before. You like to hear and see the rationale of the officials making the calls. We have recently had ex officials giving opinions but now we can hear it right from the guy making that decision. It is interesting, but I can't imagine tbe NFL allowing us to hear the officials conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Totally understand that the level of play isn't as high as the NFL, but in all honesty I really enjoy watching it more then NFL games that don't involve the Jets. The pace of the game is great. Agree with posters above who didn't like the camera angles of the second game yesterday. Hope they lose that quick. IMO after the new CBA,, when teams come up with a new roster designation for players they control, this league might really take off as a supplement to the NFL. It would make watching it more exciting if there were players on every team who were under contract to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might do it because it is so original and the fans (I think) love it. I do. It also could give fans the reasons for a decision and calm them down if they think their team is getting screwed. Or people who distrust all of them esp refs in terms of cheating (for gamblers---and gambling is now an official part of the game-they allow sponsors like Draftkings etc and some NFL owners have investments in these companies) http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/24502023/nfl-owners-robert-kraft-jerry-jones-retain-investments-draftkings-amid-sportsbook-shift As if they didn't make enough from the public.

Jetsplayer21 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Because nfl plays just a tiny fraction of the games all other pro sports play, I think it will do well.. there is no baseball, nba is boring until playoffs now, hockey? Lol. It’s not March madness yet.. I don’t know how long their season is, but until the March madness and baseball start, many sport fans welcome more semi-pro football..

Rangers9 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 For the most part you are not regularly seeing big time plays by these receivers. I mean maybe there could be a few Robby Andersons who get a chance to play and show they can be legit NFL playmakers. Guys like Jalin Marshall are capable of making NFL rosters making plays and being contributors. Also the league is good training for backup QBs who rarely might get a chance to play even if on a roster. So far at the QB position no one is standing out but some of them can play. And this experience is invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 These are the two best teams in the league right now.

We had to use two WR roster spots on STers, Roberts & Peake. Roberts was g but it meant there was not room for Johnson. Peake and his 3 receptions in the last two years. SMH.

Just don't like using two WR spots on primary STers. Leaves you with 4 spots for receivers and when one is injured, and another gets cut, well, we saw the result.

DIII College-level sloppy. -Christian Hackenberg is the worst QB I have even seen play football. At any level. The kid I played with when I was 11 for the Rockville Centre Raiders was better. -The only thing more sloppy than what was on the field, was the coverage. You'd think NFL Network had never broadcast anything before. -Christian Hackenberg is REALLY bad. LIke "owes me for pain and suffering having to watch him" bad. -There are ALOT of ex-Jets or ex-Jet Coaches in this minor league. Makes you think... -If I owned the Jets, I would literally call Mac right now and fire him for having drafted Christian Hackenberg. -My new favorite team, the Hotsh*ts, are now 2-0. -This league has a loooooooong way to go to be a watchable product. -I absolutely hate the "Nope, not the NFL" camera work, all up close and amataur. The NFL Camera angle (high up, see the whole field) is best. Those camera wire- drones up close shots are horrible, can't see whats happening and misses alot of action. Still, it's football, of a sort. May watch again next week. Go Hotsh*ts! Ryan Leaf and Nathan Peterman are much worse than Hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I introduced my dad to the league today and he loved watching this product. The first thing he noted was that the game pace was MUCH faster, the referees weren't that noticeable like in the NFL, and the hits had some real pop. The AAF is just making it obvious how buttoned up and lethargic the NFL has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he'll come around with time, but watching his demeanor on the field, I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Quote The AAF made their inaugural debut last weekend and not only did fans turn on their TV’s to watch, they came out to see the games in person. That was escpially true in San Antonio. The city, which has been thrown around in talks to receive a possible relocation team, had more fans (29,000+) show up to the San Antonio Commanders first home game than the Los Angeles Chargers, yes the NFL team, at any home during their entire 2018 season.

Since relocating to LA, Charger home games have had a hard time gaining fans in their new market with the Rams also in town, providing for notoriously hilarious photos of away fans flooding sections of the stadium, like this one… And this one… And if that wasn’t enough evidence of how sad Chargers home games have been since the move, consider the Texas high school football class 5A state title game turned out nearly DOUBLE the amount of fans than at the most attended Chargers home game of the 2018-19 season.

joewilly12 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Ex-Jets receiver Charles Johnson is becoming a star in AAF By Kyle Schnitzer February 18, 2019 | 10:34am Modal Trigger Charles JohnsonGetty Images Another former Jet is finding another life in the Alliance of American Football. Wide receiver Charles Johnson, who was with the Jets last summer, has made himself an early star through the first two games with the Orlando Apollos in the AAF. Johnson grabbed an early record 192 receiving yards in the Apollos’ 37-29 comeback win against the San Antonio Commanders on Sunday. He also snagged two touchdown passes from former Panthers and University of Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert. Johnson, who turns 30 later this month, has 252 receiving yards through the first two games of the AAF’s inaugural season. He was in Jets camp in 2018, but was cut just before the start of the season. Johnson is best known for his time with the Vikings, as the former seventh-round pick grabbed 475 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his second season, in 2014. He stuck with Minnesota for three seasons, but injuries derailed his promising start. The AAF has featured many former Jets, including the heroics of ex-quarterback John Wolford and continued struggles of second-round bust Christian Hackenberg.

I've watched every game online via Youtube; it's convenient to watch good football at my leisure since I have no emotional attachment to any of the teams. The style of play is significantly faster than the NFL and the talent isn't as grossly imbalanced as I find college ball to be. The AAF is going to stick if it maintains the level and speed of play it has shown the first 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
