There's real football on this weekend (AAF)!

I'm really hoping this doesn't suck.

We get to watch Dustin Vaughn vs Mike Bercovici. How could that possibly suck????

Woodside actually got the start. I liked him a little bit coming out of school last year.

I was most worried that OLine would be outmatched by defense athleticism; so far that seems true.

It’s been a good clean game so far. Remember, these dudes haven’t played in a long time, have only been together for about 30 days, and this is their 1st live action together.

Very impressed myself.

And that hit on the QB was great.

The helmet removing hit? That was awesome.

Anyone know what "illegal defensive formation" penalty is? Assuming it's an AAF rule.

There is Mike Martz getting his QB killed........AGAIN. LMAO. Just like his days in the NFL

[Cult of Dionysus]

Defenders helmet hit the QB in the shoulder and QB didn’t have his helmet strapped securely. It flew up and off, wasn’t knocked off. Replay from behind showed it. QB also didn’t get concussed, sine he wasn’t hit in the head.

Looked terrible from the side at full speed.

Does anyone else find it odd that there is no links or available box scores to these games? I was just doing due diligence (bored in february) and i can't find a stat line or box score anywhere..even on the official aaf website...am I missing something or wasn't this supposed to be a very "fantasy friendly league"

Saw this yesterday.

"While scanning the AAF rulebook rulebook, the following restrictions on defensive formations stood out: (1) no more than five players may rush on passing plays; (2) any player who aligns on the line of scrimmage either prior to or at the snap is designated as one of the five players regardless of whether he rushes; (3) no defensive player may rush from a position more than two yards outside the widest offensive lineman and more than five yards from the line of scrimmage (they’ll call it the “defensive pressure box”); (4) a player is deemed eligible to rush if he has both feet inside the box at the snap; (5) no more than four players may rush from the same side of the ball; (6) adjacent linebackers may not rush from the same side of the ball; and (7) two or more linebackers aligned between the offensive guards may not rush."

I do not like that entire rule

Pretty good day 1 for the AAF. I'm a fan.

Good coaching goes a long way.

I am glad Steve Spurrier got a win.

Hopefully the major sites (like ESPN & so forth) wont make it too hard to find their scores & stats.

I believe the reason why they did this is to help prop up the QB play. The AAF understands that they don’t have premier QB talents, and that’s what drives how good an offense, and subsequently the overall game is, most of the time. You could tell last night that once the QBs got pressured their play really fell off.

As for box scores, go to noextrappints.com, and I would follow them on twitter as well if you’re doing any AAF fantasy.
