Oh, that's a great theory. I assume they're not working with K balls.

We’ll see how kickers do in the next game. Hopefully they have it figured out.

Do you only get the active roster bonus if you play in the game? I wonder if that's why New Orleans called timeout to get Smith in the game.

I'd prefer both Haley and Wilson just go for every 4th down. Don't like 4th and 15? Don't waste your first three downs

Being Sloter couldn’t take the snaps in victory formation, Scott is the only qb to take every snap start to finish so far. I’m interested to see both qbs performance next game.

So the biggest weaknesses today are offensive line and kicking, sounds like everywhere.

Last night couldn't have gone much better. Today couldn't have gone much worse.

Hmmmm. Weather seems to be an unforeseen issue with the USFL plan. Hopefully next weekend is more settled.
