DC Defenders vs. St. Louis Battlehawks Extended Highlights | United Football League

[@r.browne3665]

UFL is a breath of fresh air.

[@craigfoster354]

Listening to the refs talking amongst themselves adds a dimension to our understanding of the game. Great idea, well executed. NFL should do this also.

[@mr.whisper3338]

I wish the NFL would copy the same officiating system.

UFL fans win for sure. Just wish fans other than in STL would show up.

[@DarrellRudewick]

not many fans show up dont think this will be around long lol

[@larryloveless2967]

The Battlehawks are the most exciting team in St. Louis this year. I hope they make the championship game because St. Louis will sell out the Dome. Some say they do not understand the UFL craze in St. Louis. Some think it is all about bitterness with Stan Kroenke and the NFL. The real answer is that the Battlehawks are exciting and St. Louis is responding to a football team playing like back in the days of Kurt Warner and company. Win or lose, the games are exciting.

Having the Stallions in the game would be BOOOOOring. Nothing against the Stallions , but having the same team in the championship is not good. We need to see someone else. A dynasty in an 8 team spring league will kill interest.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

@@allanross611What? A Stallions/Battlehawks rematch would easily bring in the highest #’s. If the Stallions are undefeated, which will likely be the case, then that would bring in even more eyes to the championship game as most UFL fans with lots of folks tuning in just to see if the Stallions will lose. There’s no other UFL team that gets cried about more so than the Stallions… and it’s glorious. Giddy Up, Irontalian Stallions! 3x peat is’a coming.

[@anthonyc1629]

It's the curse of Gregg Williams. It goes back to the final years of the Saint Louis Rams with him as the DC. Fisher's team was hard hitting but so undisciplined.

[@choiyatlam2552]

I just hope Hakeem Butler is good to go, he took a couple of nasty shots from the hospital balls thrown by Wilkins.

[@_sdem]

Our WR with 40% of our completions is out and the rightful XFL 2023 MVP is out for the season.

@@DeepSeaSleepin I think a big factor is he's not moving around as much. Also, the lost WR Lucky Jackson who was terrific at extended plays.

Having players called up is part of the gig here, the draft definitely shook things up a bit, funny that Houston has been a mess for three years running and Birmingham has been king

Wilkins looked a lil jittery but if he can calm down & take the yards given he could be nice in this league bro is electric

[@fynetuneyrgf]

Finally Gallman, we have been waiting all season for you to be the guy who did good filling in for Barkley for a partial season. Watched that guy do amazing stuff upsetting the Seahawks and others, for the NYGs, and haven’t seen that player till today. Still not up to expectations, considering what we know he is capable of. But hopefully he keeps getting more touches, and gets back to his ways to help carry this B Hawks team through the championship to being the pro spring football world title champions. STL B Hawks want that revenge game in the Battle Dome on June 16, and most expect them to get it. Packed house, high scoring, multiple lead changes, some of many expectations if this plays out the way we all want.

[@quickestturtlez5362]

Hawks winning despite having a QB that cant throw the ball more than 3 yards. Love to see it.

[@314jrock]

The BattleHawks winning this game without AJ McCarron is a great thing. Maybe the BattleHawks should use Manny Wilkens more often for the two remaining regular season games in order to keep AJ McCarron fresh for the post season.

[@Nope-gk3yr]

@@314jrockI think if AJ is healthy they play him next week to get Home Feild Advantage. Then Manny Wilkins is probably starting week 10.

[@skyguy1230]

I went to this game today, and the first half was kinda a snooze fest but the second half was really good. Battlehawks with the DUB KAKAW. Also good on manny Wilkins jr he ran the ball beautifully himself

[@Jawsnake]

That guy sucks they gotta try the other guy

[@skyguy1230]

@@Jawsnake yeah I agree they should give brenden silvers a start

[@Jawsnake]

@@skyguy1230 Problem with Wilkins he's not particularly fast enough to be dipping out of the pocket within two seconds. Led to a lot of holding penalties and if the Battlehawks are ever down two scores they need somebody to throw. I'd be fine with starting Silvers and let AJ heal up for the playoff game.

[@carl-benjist-hilaire1651]

Reviews on penalties are brilliant. The NFL should do this. But then, they couldn't dominate control over the outcomes. So, they will probably NEVER change that.

I can't believe that the UFL has kickers on every team that kick 50 yrd FG like there nothing every week! Indoor, outdoor no matter where they play.

I'm a Defenders fan and I can truly say they have been playing like garbage, Defense and offense. The Quarterback play has been atrocious, how many picks do it take to take the quarterback out of the game Defender fans will never know. I will not by in until I see some consistent play, I'm sorry. I need more then 4 plays, this crazy, I believe they were exposed in the Championship game.

[@JamesENichols]

Defense has been solid these past 3 weeks. Offense is trash. QB1 should be QB2 next week.

Out with an ankle injury. He tried practicing but was day to day, then listed as inactive before the game. Hopefully will be back next week. Though really, they need him to be healthy for the playoffs.
