Case Cookus driving after NJ gets the TD, that pass to RB and RAC was a nice pick up

That's game!
NJ 24 - 16 Philly

Generals in 1st place in North Div

USFL's biggest market NJ on Peacock again next Saturday 2:30 vs Maulers (ok with Maulers looking weak that makes some sense) Week 4 looks winnable for NJ while Philly and Mich play Friday last on FS1. If Scott can't play can Cookus generate enough offense to keep Philly D off the field enough?

Stop this fixation with markets, the Gens were in the first game and NJ/NO is almost assured to be one of the FOX games the 14th/15th.

The first year of the AFL the NY Titans were a ho-hum 7-7 and the Chargers, despite playing in the AFL CG, were one-and-done in LA for the next five and half decades. Even ABC realized they couldn't do either every week, although they've made that mistake with USFL1.0 and XFL2.0.

Doesn't matter if you don't have the viewership, kinda like how Seattle/Houston the final week of X2.0 nearly tied LA/NY the week prior

Then why do you think it is that the networks keep choosing to showcase the Stallions?

I don't think its wise when you have large TV markets and a likely good game (it was) between your two biggest markets. Granted NYMets v Phillies was on Saturday night so I get that... but Sunday USA should have been NJ Philly. Its why XFL 2.0 did well, big markets.

I would Not put NJ on Peacock period. But who knows what the NBC deal stipulates.

Wk 4 sch in the bag, TB vs Stallions for the Saturday Night game. S/B a good game again. But another Peacock week, at least its the Maulers even if its NJ.

Anyone see Wk 5 schedule yet? Its not posted on the USFL website.
