Terrible end to that drive, Rose misses from 22.

He's pulling left, did that at the end of the first half too (even though Yarbary got a piece of it)

Excellent drive by Smith

Klatt was talking about Rose's misses, but the misses part wasn't audible, so it might have sounded like Klatt saying "Rose is keeping the Stallions in the game", savage

That stop & missed kick helps a momentum shift, Crowd was into it. Smith settles down, connects a few time,

Tied game. :o

Could Turpin also have had something to do it by going all JuJu? Granted it was just a first down signal, and the clock was stopped for the FD, but they also looked disorganized getting on the ball, thus having to burn a timeout. The drive didn't end well, and Rose was possibly going to miss even if Yarbary hadn't got a piece of it.

Then the miss on what should be an easy FG. In fact I think these were his first misses ever (was 6/6 for the Chargers and Redskins in 2017, and perfect for the Commanders--yes perhaps the only person ever to play for Washington and the Commanders as different teams).

Mike Riley's definitely got a running game with Vito and Trey Williams, wonder when we're gonna see Mike Weber

Huard is doing a great job on the sideline. Interviewing the players mid game is really hard, imo.

TBJ's had a nice game even though it's not going to show up in the stat sheet

And as I say that we're tied again. Think I possibly called this a few nights back :D

Huard has such a cool job. Getting to stand right next to the HC during a pro football game has to be an awesome experience.

What a great first game this has been. Far better than the debut game for the AAF or XFL 2020. Some sloppy QB play in the first half but after that it's been a legitimately very good football game.

These teams are incredibly impressive for only having practiced for 3 weeks.
