Granted I'll take any FGs cause there haven't been a lot of them but that would have been a perfect time to go for it, Haley kicks?

Where's BengalErnst (the guy that wanted the XFL to fire Winston Moss), someone wanna bring him out of mothballs?
I’m watching this just to see what they’re trying to accomplish and whether they can make it work.

I'd expect that from an NFL game, but USFL?

NJ did it the other night, but I'm talking more in the vein of with two third and medium/longs included (meaning you're not doing much on first and second down). Pete Carroll wouldn't even do that.

Josh Love, like his NFL and MWC namesake: marginally passable

When Kyle Lauletta (full disclosure: he was the #1 pick in my sim league a few years back) is your savior, you got problems

and then.....of course

At this point coming out with all those O-lineman and no WR's, if Kirby Wilson doesn't at some point use the wishbone or T formation, I'd be super disappointed.

I don't get it with London. He was average at MSU and in TSL, a bit better at UT, but ran all over the place in the ELF. I get ELF isn't great, especially since you can only have a handful of American players, but is it lower quality than the FXFL?
