Got Mich -3, liking the score so far but all off T/O. Need to earn some points too.

Maulers can move ball but making mistakes.

Love the rule change - I assume these coaches signed 2 yr contracts.

Crap luck for the USFL where they could have hoped for a season where the final week’s games mattered to the playoff picture, but instead we have this game of lame ducks… and they’re playing like they don’t care.

Really? I think they are, maybe trying to avoid injury? Even so I see some tough hits etc. I think Rivers is back in 2023. Not sure of V Lee and way less so than for Kirby. Better than a lame duck Giants game...hell better than Giants week 1 - :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agreed though having playoffs on the line would have been more exciting, but its not WWE, its unscripted and it is what it is. Weather in NE and North Central is so nice today it may not matter, its mild and mostly sunny. If its like that next week, ratings won't be great.

F##king Kirby

Why not go for a monster FG there with 4 sec left in half with Ahmed - He's so gone after this yr. Need Hal Mumme and his Offense in 2023.

Yeah he goes 4-6, which is the alt football equivalent of 7-9.

It will be a shocker if Kirby Wilson comes back next year.
