@@fitzyfiddle Your defense was elite AF just your offense couldn't score for their life. I'm amazed you guys held Tampa just to 17 and got 2 interceptions considering how stacked their offense is
Man I can’t believe people are really saying this league is bad. This is some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen in a minute. I’m so hype for the rest of the season.
Watching the Michigan Panthers ugly play yesterday turned me off until next weekend. I had no clue anyone was playing today. I do like Tampa Bay with Ta’amu at QB.
This league is captivating even without the crowd! I’m almost convinced these guys have bigger hearts and better enthusiasm than most NFL players……the sound of those full throttle hits ! 💥🏈
A great week for USFL kicking off the season with all Northern teams being 0-1.. Good note that I am starting to like this league, can't wait to see them finish strong throughout the season.
Oh man......SO many half full (or much less) stadiums on the opening weekend of the new USFL Football League. Wow. Not good. Stick a knife in......they're done.

@@gregd6706 all of the games were in birmingham on easter weekend. I think even if following weeks, no home games will mean lower attendance. No surprise really.
@@gregd6706 What kind of crowd does one expect, on *EASTER* weekend in a state in the *HEART* of the Bible Belt? Easter, Church, and a ham dinner is a big deal in Alabama.
I don’t know what to think about this league. I love spring football. But the empty stadium makes me sad - it looks like a failure. Perhaps they can use computer animated fans .
Yo. @highlightheaven Props my dude. I just read an article from 2018 it had you ranked second with 270K subs. I went through the list and looked everybody else up on the list, they don't even exist anymore. You have continued to adapt and move. I see you.
Maulers were supposed to do the mauling but they got mauled instead Cheyenne O’Grady (aka Rob Gronkowski) had one of the best receiving games. Jordan Ta’amu (aka Ta’amu Brady) seems to be one of the betters QB’s in this league
The way I wanna think about this is like online match making but at every positional level, you’ll get good games and bad games because the amount of players with skill is just overwhelming, some of these guys may get a chance again or get a chance in NFL, but with good marketing, this could be its own spring-summer football league and I’m here for it
Would love to see Ta'amu in Hotlanta with m'boy MM1 -- their QB-style is similar. Thanks Andy Reid, for giving Ta'amu a chance with "Them Chiefs" a little while ago.
I'm honestly enjoying the usfl rn. The people hating ain't real football fans cuz Im hoping both the xfl and usfl stick around for a long ass time so we can have 🏈 all year round. Also the potential these leagues have as another option for players coming outta high school can play at and develop before entering the NFL
They were in trouble right from the first drive when they couldn't stop Tampa to save themselves. After that the defense was strictly on damage control with the offense pretty much dead on arrival. Hopefully there's better things to see over the next nine weeks.
It was a mistake to play all games in Birmingham. There will only be a significant crowd when the Stallions are playing. Glad the USFL is back. However, the games need to be played at the franchise stadiums for better crowds.
Tampa Bay's quarterback is legit. I hope this league does well because it sucks that so many people devote their time to sports but only a few have an opportunity to make it to the next level. I hope 10 years down the road there still here
I don't think there are any restrictions. My guess is that because all the games are being played in Birmingham, Alabama, the people there got overloaded with football.
With how gambling is now and this coming directly after NFL when sports season starts to wind down, with the right promotion the league could really grow a lot this year
They also have officials watching in a booth that can correct any wrong calls. I assume they got involved with this game because they did on the prior three.
I love the extra cams the ref cam and helmet cam can be used to show why refs make stuiped or weird calls i hope nfl dose same thing after they see people like this stuff
If at 2:36 that was called pass interference then why wasnt 1:51 called pass interference? they were pretty much the same. they are starting with the bad calls already
First week in the books! What y’all think so far? And shout out to Highlight Heaven brother amazing work already we miss your videos in the off-season. I like the league so far and I’m going to give it a chance. It’s wholesome to see football hungry young men trying to go to the nfl, some for the first time
Oh man......SO many half full (or much less) stadiums on the opening weekend of the new USFL Football League. Wow. Not good. Stick a knife in......they're done.
Checking out the highlights, why are they changing qbs as much as they are? Paxton Lynch coming in... Smith for Perez, Lauletta barely playing behind Love...etc
As a lifelong Pittsburgh Maulers fan, I am disgusted by the way we performed tonight, we need to play better if we want to win a USFL Lombardi
Y’all need to fire Kirby Wilson
y’all need to cut 24
@@talon_marx4438 he was getting torched.
BAHAHAHA...USFL "Lombardi".........BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
As a lifelong Pittsburgh Maulers fan you have seen about 15 games. There are NO "Lombardi's" in the USFL Bro.
As a lifelong Tampa bay Bandits fan, this has been our best game ever in Tampa bay Bandit history
Yeah....all 7 of them.
As a life long Pittsburgh Maulers fan, this has been our worst game ever in Pittsburgh Maulers history
@@fitzyfiddle Your defense was elite AF just your offense couldn't score for their life. I'm amazed you guys held Tampa just to 17 and got 2 interceptions considering how stacked their offense is
Not as good as the time Coach Steve Spurrier led the Bandits to a 24-0 victory over the Oakland Invaders in 1984, but we'll take it. :)
As a Life long Tampa Bay Bandits and Gunslingers fan this game shall be in our hall of fame
"Set to kick things off for the Maulers and the final game of the USFL season is underway."
It's Week 1.
As soon he said that I was like fuck you mean final game my nigga it just started 😂😂
It’s been one week and the league has already failed so badly they have to shut down 😂
Bro I was so confused I thought they were all playing 1 game this season or something.
Yeah, what?
He’s not wrong. The WNBA gets better attendance
Man I can’t believe people are really saying this league is bad. This is some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen in a minute. I’m so hype for the rest of the season.
They are just saying it’s bad because they are casual football fans who only like the NFL and college and wanna see a spring league like the usfl fold
People will always find ways to hate on things, I’m just happy we have football to keep us occupied until the NFL comes back
The play will get better as the season goes too.
Watching the Michigan Panthers ugly play yesterday turned me off until next weekend. I had no clue anyone was playing today. I do like Tampa Bay with Ta’amu at QB.
I say this league is bad because the play is bad. The xfl had great moments every week with actually competent qb play.
Maulers got Mauled. Bandits stealin that W.
Pun intended.
If I could like this ten thousand times, I would. This is the best comment I have seen in a long time
Lmao

why is the crowd not there?

Maulers are gonna regret this when they cut the pizza guy
People gotta eat.
00:52 #61 was reminding the uprights what they're there to do.
You can really tell that Taamu is the only dude on either of these teams to receive NFL level coaching.
Such a stupid comment lol
Really good crowd, great atmosphere
Cool to see TaAmu playing again, liked him in XFL, was rooting for him in NFL.
Is that the dude from the Battlehawks?
@@elephantgrass631 indeed
the game literally ended 4 minutes ago. how are u so good at ur job

@@gregd6706 it’s cause every game is in Birmingham
@@gregd6706 easter weekend and horrible weather. No shit they were empty
I wish downfall on that coach who cut a player for eating a pizza
Let’s go Tampa Bay!
Maulers have the best defense in the USFL. It’s a shame that the offense couldn’t find there stride and that the coach can’t scheme
And that their coach cuts people for choosing pizza over chicken salad lol
@@bernieboy8538 yeah, that’s part of it too. His scheme was power runs, but cut their best RB. As a lifelong Maulers fan, it’s been painful
@@hauntedhaunter6148 that dude is a window 👅 seems like a nice guy but that was just dumb

Cheyenne O’Grady (aka Rob Gronkowski) had one of the best receiving games.
Jordan Ta’amu (aka Ta’amu Brady) seems to be one of the betters QB’s in this league
He is look Jordan up in the xfl he was great for the battlehawks
he was really on target during the first half, then made a couple bad throws in the 2nd half, both of them intercepted
Ta’amu looks solid most of the QBs struggled their first game but he looks like a solid qb
I've been a supporter of the USFL since it started, loved all these games, may have been the best these teams have ever played
I love this. I have been enjoying the usfl. It's fast paced, awesome camera angles, and the sounds are on point.
"And the final game of the USFL season is under way". 🤔

Ta’amu is my favorite side league quarterback easily
Let's go Battlehawks!
It sucks not seeing those seats filled up.
9:28 anybody else see the guy try to get out the way and fall anyway 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The opening inaugural week. A total southern sweep. Hope they stick around longer than the last batch of owners did.
glad to see ta amu back
Such a huge crowd out there.
USFL is so dope bro I love it😂
@.55 number 61 pumping up the ghost crowd in the endzone seats.
Wow now we get to watch the Steelers twice a year
Yay
*forced to watch
Dam that sack @2:10
Love the sound of hits
Jordan Ta'amu underrated like Luis Perez, I say highlights of these leagues past few years.
He’s the spring football king. Heinicke and PJ Walker should come to the USFL or XFL next year
@@DDDiego
Would be great to see a XFL Vs USFL champiomship
I'm diggin this USFL - this is pretty good football and dudes are playing their a**es off! Keep it up and Go Bandits!
Love the colors for the Maulers
I'm embarrassed to admit I saw "J. Love" on screen and had to double check it wasn't Jordan Love lol
Same lol
Ready for the missed kicks compilation vid already
Spring football leagues games are really messy at time, but man i love watching them. Hope at least one of those 2 succeed as a small league.
Playing the whole thing in this stadium is gonna kill it. Fans at one game.
This was one of the better games to watch. In terms of play, if not score.
Would love to see Ta'amu in Hotlanta with m'boy MM1 -- their QB-style is similar. Thanks Andy Reid, for giving Ta'amu a chance with "Them Chiefs" a little while ago.
It is Spring time It is football some red meat for all ways hungry football fans. The Maulers first incarnation set the bar low they had just 3 wins.
What a nice, long season.
Jordan Ta'amu has been an exciting QB since the XFL, was hoping to see him back there, but glad he's doing great things elsewhere instead.
This whole time I thought they were the Mallers. A team of avid mall shoppers. Learn something everyday.
This was a great week for USFL scorigami
Ta'Amu was the best QB in the XFL and looks like he is the best in this league too.
PJ Walker than Jordan for me.
I'm honestly enjoying the usfl rn. The people hating ain't real football fans cuz Im hoping both the xfl and usfl stick around for a long ass time so we can have 🏈 all year round.

These Jersey combinations are looking great,
Good stuff bro
They were in trouble right from the first drive when they couldn't stop Tampa to save themselves. After that the defense was strictly on damage control with the offense pretty much dead on arrival. Hopefully there's better things to see over the next nine weeks.
I think they need to work on the drone cam POV. Maybe just use it for replays.

They might have needed to let that man eat the pizza instead of chicken salad
Bring back "Glenn Carano"!!!
... Just Kidding! I think the Helmet Cam is pretty cool though.
Is the USFL broadcasted on TV or the fox app?
I love how they just put cameras on everything in this league even the refs have cameras
standing room only I see
i love these pad sounds
When are these games on ?
Honest question: were there some kind of covid restrictions in place, or did people not know a game was happening?
I don't think there are any restrictions. My guess is that because all the games are being played in Birmingham, Alabama, the people there got overloaded with football.
With how gambling is now and this coming directly after NFL when sports season starts to wind down, with the right promotion the league could really grow a lot this year
It might be a bit more exciting with actual fans in the stands.
If this league succeeds it’s going to be funny seeing all the doubters eat crow
Yup
But it won’t
Where's the crowd?
It's Easter Monday and all 200K residents of Birmingham are extremely devout.
Was there no crowds allowed or something
no there was just a shitty turnout this week
Keep in mind this was Easter weekend. People were probably visiting family. Going forward the crowds should get bigger.
North, 0-4, South 4-0
Side note how is it that these refs are both less experienced but more accurate
take notes nfl
They also have officials watching in a booth that can correct any wrong calls. I assume they got involved with this game because they did on the prior three.
I love how hypec they are they definitely came to play
At least they'll have some chicken to forward to.
Banditball!!Lets Go!
I like the hits
Let’s go Tampa💪🏾
So was this the final game and also the first game?
All 4 southern teams are 1-0 now LOL
Only thing I really have to complain about is the lack of holding calls. Looks real rough in this game.
I love the extra cams the ref cam and helmet cam can be used to show why refs make stuiped or weird calls i hope nfl dose same thing after they see people like this stuff
Ta'amu literally has potential he just forces too much
Yeah but they've only been practicing together for like three weeks. Looks pretty decent considering.
clearly the chicken salad did not fuel the players enough
This was a amazing szn can’t believe its already over
Jordan Ta’aamu is going to lead the bandits to the Great Value Super Bowl, mark my words!
If at 2:36 that was called pass interference then why wasnt 1:51 called pass interference? they were pretty much the same. they are starting with the bad calls already
#85 was the MVP for the maulers seen him sticking up for his teammate man wasn’t even suited up lol

Official attendance 103 people. LOL
You made that up .There is no way that the official paid attendance was 103 people.
Is the Usfl season actually over after that game?
Dang that was quick 😂
Chicken Salad Gate took down an entire league in record time.
So TB Bandits have Tamu and BJ Emmons? Wish Stallions would’ve gotten those guys especially Emmons as he use to play for Bama.
Not as good as the time Coach Steve Spurrier led the Bandits to a 24-0 victory over the Oakland Invaders in 1984, but we'll take it. :)
Wait. Did they get the NFL song?
Bandits are my Favourite because I like Florida
Checking out the highlights, why are they changing qbs as much as they are? Paxton Lynch coming in... Smith for Perez, Lauletta barely playing behind Love...etc
Bro game just finished 🤣🔥🔥🔥
Mikey 🙌🙌
Anyone notice all the southern teams are undefeated ?
