XFL North Division Championship Trophy Presentation kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vOhpWOebKXoqM

[@dedmanic]

As a (sad) commanders fan..the XFL looks so fun and the Defenders look competitive. I hope they win it all, the XFL thrives, and I finally have some football pride back in my city!

[@slimischillin7753]

They probably will win it all. I don’t see Arlington putting up much of a fight. DC looks like a more complete team.

even though DC is closer to my state where i live, so i don't mind seeing them win, but if the renegades win this, this might be a crazy upset, but we have to wait 12 more days until the xfl champion comes, so while that's going on, I'll see what the USFL is doing.

[@KELLZdaLOUTheProducer]

Congratulations DC, you had a hell of a run this season and played terrific football. The XFL will do good with teams like DC, STL, and SEA playing like that and as long as the fans keep coming to the games and making it a priority to support their teams, it will grow.

it wasn't there fault the game was rigged you saw how many penalty flags they got, if this game wasn't rigged, than why was there so many penalties by the sea dragons in this game? this game isn't worse than the game 6 2002 NBA conference finals lakers vs the kings, or NFL 1976 Seattle Seahawks vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, but the seas dragons got too many penalties in this game.

DC defense looked the best it has since week 6, very impressive performance. Amazing crowd as well, certainly the best atmosphere other than St. Louis. Seattle was questionably undisciplined with the penalties, they are normally good in that department.

DC gonna win it all, I'm glad that I supported this team ever since that first game in 2020 and never looked back. Hopefully I don't jinx it like when they lost to Orlando, but facing Arlington in the finals is like already having one hand on the trophy before the game even begin. That's how confident I am about DC....

Started with dropping of passes to ending with penalty after penalty, 3 12 man penalties in one game. Couldn't stop a 3rd down conversion to save their lives. I was hoping Dragons was the better team but clearly not today. DC finished strong today and the Renegades are going to need all the luck they can get.

[@crankfastle8138]

Their qb is awful. Every throw is floating off his back foot and side armed. No wonder hi isn't in the NFL. He would be intercepted every play.

Congrats to the Defenders from a heartbroken BattleHawks fan 😭

[@larryloveless2967]

Congratulations to the DC Defenders. I hope they beat Arlington next week so a .500 team does not win it all. The 2 division setup though mirrors the American Football League of the 1960s prior to the NFL merger with 2 divisions at 4 teams apiece as well. Back then the best of the West simply would play the best of the East unless a tie for first place in a division forced a playoff. The NFL did the same with many more teams. I did watch the AFL games as well even though a big St. Louis Football Cardinals fan and later STL Rams fan of the NFL. I really enjoyed the Battle Hawks having football back in St. Louis this year. I hope the XFL stays in St. Louis for many more years.

[@eurofritz4617]

yeah, I think with only 8 teams they need to stack them and take the best 4 into the playoffis

[@crankfastle8138]

Funny if Arlington wins. A mediocre XFL team wins it. Just the level of class and talent this league wants to promote. 2 more years at most and this league is gone.

[@larryloveless2967]

@@crankfastle8138 I remember though this happening in Baseball as well from the winner of a weak division and getting hot for the playoffs. Off the top, the Cardinals won the world series in 2006 and the 1973 Mets took the As to a game 7. I have no idea whether the XFL can make it. They have a chance as being the AAA minor league of the NFL. I know St. Louis will continue to support the XFL well, since that was all about Stan Kroenke wanting the large L.A. TV market but no idea how much is needed including TV market to keep the XFL in business.

For sure. Arlington did not win. Houston lost by not showing up. Played their worst game of the year in a home play-off game. That is what happens when you beat a team 2 x in regular season. Over confident. That is what makes the DC win so impressive . They beat the second best team 3 x. If DC plays their game and does not beat themselves , they got this. Just do not be overconfident.
