This game is a prime example why u get yourself a good kicker 💯

[@Daniel-id6le]

Great effort DC. You probably should have won this game. Bham you need 20,000 in the stands every game.

[@DoveOfHope1]

The only way they’re getting 20,000 in the stands soon is to get fan excitement higher to physically attend the game like giving them some merch (or giving an NFT with some other benefit of having it, like getting free merch or a free pack of UFL cards)

[@Daniel-id6le]

[@aikanaonao5376]

The UFL should have brought back the Philly/Baltimore Stars. Their fans would have shown up for the champs. The Michigan Panthers won the first USFL championship in 1983. The Philadelphia Stars won the second USFL championship in 1984, and after relocating to Baltimore, won the final USFL championship in 1985. Also the conferences in this league would make more sense, having the Stars in place of the Houston RoughNecks. The league is looking pretty solid so far. AFL relaunch debuts on Saturday on NFL Network.

Imagine a league where you can actually hit the qb. Nice to see one finally.

[@RVeda-vh5on]

The producers of these (much-appreciated) highlights should study the editing of the corresponding NFL highlight videos: a bit less cutting off of commentary, and at least some coverage of each change-of-possession for continuity. Too often we're jumped straight to the next possession of the team that just scored. More gentleness with the editing scissors please, guys.

[@Hunt456]

If/when a kicker gets drafted in the first 6 rounds, that team is making a huge mistake. The UFL should pretty much eliminate the thought of drafting one imo. If your team drafts a kicker in rounds 4 or 5 this year, how can you trust your GM? Hard to imagine anyone drafted being more reliable than McCrane & Bates this season.

[@JamesENichols]

Harsh critique! The Defenders were not expected to win this game. All of the UFL pundits had the Stallions winning big. It was supposed to be a blow out. What I saw, was two VERY physical teams, just slugging it out. DC made big plays, and some dumb mistakes, but I think the Defenders found their identity in this game. If the Defenders can play a clean game, they can beat any team in this league. The Defenders still haven't played a clean game yet. That's what I want to see, just once this season from DC.

[@FlameWingMan]

Ehhh I can't say they are sorry since it's a bunch of former 1st round picks...it's more about them making the tackle than anything.. because they pretty much read the routes but just couldn't make the plays when it mattered

A few observations (nobody asked for) As for the UFL, I do not like the regional broadcast. I am an out of market Defenders fan who had no legal access to the game. I managed to watch, but my ratings won't be counted... Also, this game should have been on national TV as the early game. This will go down as the best football game that nobody saw. The players and coaches deserve better. As for the game, I am proud of the Defenders' effort. I thought Coach Williams and Coach Kaiss called great games, and the Defenders fought hard, made some big plays, and played a mostly clean game. To me, the Stallions and Defenders looked evenly matched. Glad the Defenders are finished with them. Positives for DC: D-Line; O-Line; QB; the WRs; the RBs; the CBs; the play calling. Things to work on: Tackling; Long snapping; LBs and Safeties need to improve in pass coverage; pass catching; and short-yardage run blocking. Lots of positives for DC despite the loss. On to the next one. 🛡️ 🛡️ up!
