[@andrewwhipple1507]

Well that's just shocking. Congrats to the Renegades from a Battlehawks fan. Glad to see Perez succeeding in this league. I remember when he was leading the Birmingham Iron, and now he's a division champ. Roughnecks weren't ready for this. It's not easy to beat any team 3 times in one season.

[@RekkaMakks]

Every battlehawk fan can now stfu abt the playoffs format everybody that went deserves to go

[@FerdinandCesarano]

Not shocking. Perez was always going to get it done.

[@Road2Riches1010]

Yooo that league was lit. I remember silvers getting SMACKED!! Lol

[@jerrychacko2661]

I cannot tell you how elated I am to see a Dallas team going to a championship game so excited!!

[@treyvon8358]

They proved everyone wrong. Everyone was mad that the Renegade’s were there instead of St. Louis but look, they went to houston and shoved the football down their throat.

Im a Battlehawks fan, im glad the renegades won.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Same to an extent. There could be a .500 win % champ and regular season should mean something. Shouldn’t even be divisions and it a team has a identical record they should look at the W-L record. If it’s .500 have an extra playoff game.

Battlehawks fans said this team didn't deserve a shot. Renegades turn it into bulletin board material and pulls off a huge upset.

[@cuzzo5666]

They didn't, Houston has been exposed since week 5, the south is horrible....but congrats🤷🏾

[@Matt-yj1lz]

Was not expecting Arlington to beat us tonight.. congrats yall played a good game of football. We need to sharpen up next year

[@chillin1661]

Roughnecks had such a dissapointing season in my opinion, they got battered by the North and they got destroyed in playoffs by Renegades, we need to sharpen up next season.

[@battlerapmatrix4075]

PJ walker and Cam Phillips was the team

[@salvadorrodriguez2520]

Oh and the Texicants suck too.😂

[@fynetuneyrgf]

I’m a Perez fan from back when he took over for NY back in 2020, he brought that team back from the dead also. Covid killed that. I used to call him little Eli back then, but mostly because of who his coach was. But now, he might be looking like a Eli Manning in the post season.

[@leonardparchment6811]

XFL is the real deal 🏈🏆

The trade to get Luis Perez turned Arlington into a completely different team.

As a fan of the wildcats of the inaugural short season of the XFL 2020 to a Renegades fan in the revival season. Some ups and a lot of downs and making it to the south division championships. Can’t say I’m not proud of these boys for showing up and taking care of business 😭 Championship here they come!!

[@Gjoshfreeman]

Luis Perez balled the fxck out this game 🏈..... I had money on Arlington definitely came up, Renegades is the team to beat

[@MosheGoldbergTheKing]

Best thing going on in sports.

[@cinimatics]

Perez is really SLINGING the ball.

[@octavioaraujo1674]

Let's keep it in perspective. These guys are playing with passion and a sense of urgency. they want to be noticed hoping to get a shot at being invited to trials with any NFL team. That is why I miss NFL Preseason; the guys may not have been starters, but they gave everything they had to be the 53rd man on that roster.

[@B4J35]

Let’s go renegades one more game baby

These recievers are really taking the opportunity to show off to the NFL.

[@daltonpatterson480]

The thing about pro sports is that getting hot at just the right time, can be the key to winning a championship. Arlington is a game away from proving that true yet again.

[@sovietmudkip18]

I can't wait for them to add more teams so next year we can have renegades versus battle Hawks in the divisional round of playoffs

[@JamesENichols]

I always believed the Renegades had the best D in the XFL all season long. Their offense finally showed up. Arlington is a worthy contender, and a dangerous team. Congrats, Renegades!

[@kimchi2780]

Houston trying to get too cute with the multiple QB system. Cole Mcdonald just ain't it.

[@krutikovman]

Definitely was shocked to see this, but I knew my boy Luis Perez would pull through once he found a halfway decent team. But i doubt they can beat the North Champ (hopefully DC) in the final

[@manzac112]

Pain.......😢

That's an upset. Congrattulations to the Renegades. DC/St Louis is going to be a whole different game in two weeks. I was hoping for Houston and a close game.

[@natespnwadventures]

Ill say this as a Renegades fan. We did not deserve to he here in the first place. Cant really be excited about this win knowing the Battlehawks were clearly better and missed out. They need to fix some stuff in the XFL. Its fun to watch for sure, but we shouldn't have 4-6 teams in any "championship" game. Period.

[@TheBeggies95]

This does not only happen in the XFL

[@NineballChris]

San Antonio should have been in this game if they had made the winning field goal last week. Shame on the mess!

[@patrickt8941]

Pay attention. The XFL, each season they've played and tried to play they literally figured out and showed the NFL how to ref games sound and fairly. As son as the NFL season starts, BAM!!! More shitty referee calls ruining games. The reason the NFL refuses to switch their refs to replaying plays, they can't fix games as easy. 😉

[@BlueWallFull4331]

the team with the blue jerseys have alot of players who don’t like to finish plays. they had so many chances to end big plays early. but everyone is arm tackling or no arm tackling lol. wrap him up and put your body into him.?

Teams with the better record should play in the playoffs. Division champs then the best two wild card teams. XFL gets it wrong. St. Louis 7-3 not in the playoffs .......................,,,,Arlington 4-6 in the playoffs. Come on, now, XFL. The regular season has to mean something. Now if a bad team gets lucky again next week, the XFL has a mediocre champ.

[@C-Thunder]

Tbf, there is only 8 teams in the league. If there was 16 or, more, I would agree with you on your assessment.
