Game thread: Birmingham Stallions at San Antonio Brahmas, Sat May 25, 3:00 PM ET, ABC

Stallions totally look like the 49ers

And as thought, the Brahmas will go in to week 10 in first place with Dome field on the line.

We gotta get a flex this week, period. The two conference prematches will overlap while the game of time gets their own window for game 40. They should have thought of this when ESPN caved to not Larry/Magic and moved that.

Way to go SA !!!!

What a couple of games today. Phew! 

Attendance, per Mike Mitchell, was 11,839.

Great game!  Huge stop by SA.  SA played tough all game.

Wake up call for Birm?  or not enough on the line.

STL loss really stings now.

Neither, Stallions just ran into a recognize-the-real D. Their only real UGH was Kenny Robinson, who in four years has gone from trailblazer to washed. Him and perhaps Kevin Austin who seemed to have no idea where the ball was on what would have been a walk-in TD. Need guys other than Sternberger to step up.

But SA still doesn't have a dependable offense: Kirklin needs to stop auditioning for Shaqtin A Fool/being Kadarius Toney every week, and A.J. Smith is giving off Shane Waldron (this is it?) vibes. You could easily swap them with Arlington if they had finished better earlier in the season. SA going into STL next week and getting the DFA is hardly the done deal Galindo seemed to think it was, unless AJ suddenly retires tomorrow.

From what I've seen between Birmingham,  San Antonio and St Louis any given team could win in a tournament.   The wins or losses are coming down to little things.   They are all three good teams.  I'm not sure about the Panthers.  they seem to be on a hot streak but against questionable teams.  Birmingham will figure out if they are for real this week.
