Alliance of American Football

[ChiLLx]

Took the San Diego Fleet +2.5 -105

Mike Martz has to be a better coach than Mike Riley right?

I saw Vick is the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta team

Anyone else attempting to watch this?

Download the AAF to keep track of the scores and the games. I too will wait and see before I bet on these games.

You realize that this is a developmental league for the NFL right?!?!?

[cincinnatikid513]

wonder if romo and nance will take a break from pebble beach to call one of the games

[reigle9]

Hack starting for Memphis I believe.

[big joe 1212]

Are they doing same rules as in NFL or are there different rules?

if they have different rules, it doesn’t have a chance

[ChiLLx]

Teams must go for two every single touchdown and there are no kickoffs. Kickers are used only for FGs I would assume

That’s not too bad. As long as it doesn’t have rules like Canadian League or Arena.

whats the ncaa then?

100% correct

Gotta do something unique.

Make them at both sides of the ball.

[Hman]

If that's the case then the conversions should only count as 1point

New rules for this league:

The most notable one is no kickoffs, which is something Polian insisted on if he was going to be involved. They did this because data they collected said the kickoff was largely a non-dynamic play where the largest number of injuries occurred. Also, fans and players dislike the kickoff on the whole, and it affects overall game time. Instead, the ball starts on the 25-yard line after each score or at the start of the game.

• Instead of an onside kick, if a team is trailing by 17 points or there's five minutes or less left in the fourth quarter, a team can attempt an onside conversion. They get the ball on their own 28-yard line and have to convert a fourth-and-12. If they do, they keep the ball and keep going. Don't convert, and the opponent takes over from the point at which they stop them.
  
• There are no extra point kicks, so a team is going for two after every touchdown.
  
• Overtime rules have the ball starting on the 10-yard line with four downs and a two-point extra point if a team scores (field goals are not allowed).
  
• There's also a significant change in pass-rushing rules for defenses. Teams can rush only five players and can't blitz players from the secondary. If you have five men on the line of scrimmage on defense, those are the only players who can rush. "With less than a month to get our teams ready to play, the hardest part to get cohesiveness in is the offensive line," Polian said. "So if we came with all the exotic blitzes that we see, which is basically coming out of the secondary, they couldn't pick it up and we're going to get quarterbacks hurt, and it's not much of a game, honestly. Nobody wants to see the quarterback sacked repeatedly."
  
• With replays, officials won't have to go under the hood or watch a tablet. Instead, the official will have an earpiece to communicate directly on the field with the replay official in real time. All of this is designed to help shorten game times. The hope is for games to be two and a half hours or less.
  
  No point in betting totals on these games. It'll be a crazy shitfest

[big joe 1212]

This is more like the Pro Bowl rules

no thanks

[LT Profits]

Regular TV on CBS

[LT Profits]

No, they are all two-point conversion attempts. 7 is NOT a key number in this league, 6 and 8 are more key than NFL.

[ChiLLx]

Yes and 3 is not going to be much of a key number at all compared to NFL

[ChuckyTheGoat]

WTF did Vick do?

[Plaza23]

If you aren't allowed to blitz more than 5, or anyone off the line of scrimmage, how would it even be possible to stop the other team? These games should be really high scoring. Almost like arena league football with more players on the field.

[TheGuesser]

Any chance SBR Odds gets these up in future weeks?

[ChiLLx]

Thoughts after tonight? Both games had some poor play

[GzaTheGenius]

whats the ncaa then?

Lmaoooo true, these guys actually get paid I think

Only caught two minutes of this shit, saw two injuries.. league wont last long

XFL wont either... NFL aint much better though honestly

[cincinnatikid513]

is it better than the cfl
