If you're a regular fan of football, have you enjoyed this so far. Am assuming you've watched at least a game or two. It hasn't caught on at all for me and have seen 2 full games. I want to say "rinky dink", but maybe it's too early.

They need better QB play IMO. It's sloppy football on the offesive side. I don't think it needs to be like Arena scoring but games 3-3 late into the 3rd quarter aren't very exciting to me. I do watch but have it on in the background for the most part. I don't sit and watch an entire game but cool to see some college players from Nebraska playing.

Dan Patrick (I think) said they should have teams that are built on players from certain regions. Like Dallas should have players from states in and around Texas to fill out there roster, (SMU grades, TCU, Texas, Oklahoma, etc that don't make it all the way to the NFL or briefly did). Might get more local following that way

The QB for Houston is the GOAT haven’t seen anyone that can do the things he can combined but the NFL won’t put in a offense for him

Somethings about the broadcasts are unappealing to me..For one, the constant switching to the upper booths for play calling with the long names over and over.

It's pretty decent football IMO, and I'll take anything I can get this time of year between NCAA/NFL FB and opening day MLB. I HATE Feb and March, and pretty much ANY football beats the hell out of Basketball for me.

Yeah, expectations shouldn't exceed mediocre to a bit above mediocre level. It is the inaugural season after all. I like some of the unique rules they have initiated.

I said this awhile ago, but said it should be by college football conferences. have an all big 12 team on dallas, sec in atlanta etc. so regional fan bases would be a few hours away and might have a desire to go see their rb for Oregon st or favorite wide out from virgina tech etc

The play and the coaching is terrible so far but hard to judge a league after 2 games .
They do have potential avenues to increase the talent level in the future.
It will never be the nfl but it don’t have to be .

But I do think it needs to be at a high enough level to where they could at least compete in the SEC West

Considering attending a game in Tampa Bay this weekend to give it a try

Tampa sucks from what I've seen. Caesars actually set their over at 7.5 before the season (10 gm season), a lot of the reasoning being that Trestman was very successful in the CFL. They're already giving their 3rd string QB a lot of reps.

But they did play both games on the road so maybe they get on track at home.

Decent chance the home opener is the most expensive ticket because people wanna give it a look/novelty. Maybe cheaper after that....

it's set up but wrestling owner he needs to rig the teams... Unbalance the teams so there is some blowouts.
and maybe start it later in the spring not right after Super Bowl. We just got done witnessing great playoffs and now see the "b-squad" its like watching the next dancer on stage right after the hottest girl just finished.
