The Vipers can’t catch a break no matter what. I wasn’t expecting them to win but I thought they were pretty competitive for a good portion of the game and then they just crashed and burned.
Entertaining game! I hope this league sticks around. A few thoughts: *Defenders have an identity on offense: Run the spread option until the other team breaks. Mix in some chunk passes off the play action. Nice. *Still too many drops by the receivers. I know it was wet and cold, but I hope the Defenders receivers can improve on making the routine plays, routinely, as the season goes on. Plenty of room for improvement by Defenders' receiving group. *Great physical defense, again by the Defenders. The tackling is especially notable. The Defenders don't miss many tackles. Takeaways are a bonus. *The Defenders are still getting gashed in the middle of the field, with the short and intermediate passes. If the Defenders don't clean that up, the Roughnecks will exploit it. *A final word about Vegas. They are 0-4 but they do not stink like the Guardians. The Vipers play hard, and at times looked like the better team. They haven't quit, they just need a better plan for the second half of their games. Defenders 4-0!
What's with all the XFL announcers never shutting up about the over/under? Considering they mention it every 5-6 plays in the condensed highlights, it must be insufferable in the full game.
Same here. When the AAF and second incarnation were around, I was rooting for the Birmingham Iron and New York Guardians. He QB'd both teams very well.
Vegas should not be 0-4. They just have key momentum moments that they come on the losing end of every week. You lost cuz you fumbled on the first snap, you lost cuz you got stuffed on fourth twice, you lost cuz you missed a chip shot, you lost cuz a WR slipped. Swept, try harder next year. No excuses, play like a champion.
Brah we always bring the energy. We match and overdue. If it’s a slight crowd, then we won’t have vocal cords, and if it’s a lot of us. We DEFINITELY won’t. The event staff lets fans group up and we can get chants going better. Circle around Audi field as much as possible. We gon’ get loud💯 Ps:our stadiums sell out half the arena, the only scarce areas frfr are the upper decks and semi expensive suites
The NFL needs a league like this so guys have a choice coming out of college. You don’t have to go to Canada and play a different game. We can keep the boys at home and draft from there. It’s like a AA league for the NFL. XFL has to succeed!
Technically, a referee cannot score a touchdown in a football game. Referees are considered part of the officiating crew, and their job is to ensure that the game is played fairly and that the rules are followed. They are not considered players and are not allowed to participate in the game. Now you know
They gotta let D'Eriq King get a few more snaps a game , let him play WR again or kick return. He had at least one return TD back in the day at Houston guy is a baller. I'm just saying let him get maybe 5 to 10 more snaps a game.
The Roughnecks have been undefeated since 2020. Well, the Vipers haven't won a game since their inaugural season. Let that sink in. 😅 Still love them. Hoping for some fixes in the offense and coaching strategy.
To the Beautiful Dany Garcia and to the Rock of Mana of Aloha, I've been watching the XFL when they first started. I wanted to stop by and say Mahalo for saving the XFL League, many dreams and goal minded players. Yes! Your words that you say, cross roads to success and opportunities. #54 Dreams and made it realistic! Aloha with Love and Mahalo with Passion!
3:30 Giffen is good. Little joke for all the econ majors out there. (In economics a a giffen good is something that there is more demand for when times are worse because it's a cheaper substitute for something better that people would rather have but can no longer afford.)
It was a running clock, so if the play was overturned the theory is that the offense wouldn't have the time to hurry to the line and get another play off. If the vipers had a timeout they could have used it so there wouldn't be a runoff.
I like everything except the conversion rule, you should be able to kick a field goal also. Your going to have a lot of teams lose simply because of the conversions.
that halftime rule is so stupid. Its not the vipers fault that the refs got the call wrong. The vipers didn't challenge either. BTW its not the refs fault either, it was close. They should've placed the ball and had running clock
@10:24 I wanna know why was the single safety so far in the endzone, why keep bacc pedaling when no one is running that deep, then didn't even drive on the ball when it's thrown .. waited for wr to get to him trash player
Vehas quarterback should call himself, the sack eater. Because that's his specialty. Plus he is too small. Bench him. And why vegas defense lines up way out of the play
Because Hundley isnt better. He didnt score all game in week 2, he only looked decent game 3 because they were against the worst defense in the league.
DC and Houston are on another level right now. Seattle is so close.
What about STL?
Also among the best. Dc Houston, sea, and battle hawks are the best teams
ST LOUIS PLAYING GOOD TOO WITH A GREAT FAN BASE
STL too
Houston 🥇, DC 🥈, St Louis 🥉, Seattle 🏅4, & Arlington 🎖️5. Everybody else San Antonio 6, Las Vegas 7, & Orlando 8. 🏈💥
Love the transparency from the replay officials.
I hope this league becomes successful
It’s well on its way.
The Battlehawks had 38,310 people attend in St. Louis today. The XFL is growing! ❤️
It will. It's up to us as football fans to keep it going. :)
Buy jerseys, homies. Most of us aren’t close enough to attend games in person, so we gotta keep the league profitable somehow!
@Mondoman54 If you are not close then all you can do is watch it on TV for the viewership stats. 😀
This is WAY better than I thought. There’s a number of former nfl players I’d like to see rekindle their career
I think Vipers got unlucky. Probably their best performance so far and thats tough against the Defenders. Falling an inch short of that TD though 🤦♂️
They finally realized the GOAT Luis Perez is their best option.
Missed field goal, receiver stepping out in back of the end zone. You add one extra point and this game would have been tied at 32.
4-0 baby, let's get it! Love to see that beer snake rolling out in full force too.
That'll be 4-1 by the end of next weekend
Man, what a fun game. Gotta love the XFL
Doesn't matter if it's rain the fans and 🍺🐍 still showed up and showed out 🛡👆🏾
🍺🐍
I'm really enjoying the XFL. Much better than the USFL. I hope this league can keep it up and gain popularity.
It ain’t a DC home game without a beersnake!!
😂
No bs taunting. I love the XFL
Love the XFL. Keep it going! 🎉
The Vipers can’t catch a break no matter what. I wasn’t expecting them to win but I thought they were pretty competitive for a good portion of the game and then they just crashed and burned.
They had to overcome a lot psychologically. That opening snap was a fiasco.
Definitely better than Orlando, that's for sure
The kickoff rules for the XFL are so much safer for the players over the NFL, college and even high school
I'm so glad they put Perez back in.
These guys try way harder then the NFL. XFL IS MY NEW FAVORITE 🏈🏈🏈🏈
The XFL might actually be success this time around. I can actually see the league gaining a big following next year.
DC DEFENDERS ROCK. LOVE THEM. MIGHT PICK THEM AS MY TEAM. I'LL STILL SEARCHING TO SEE WHO I'LL STICK WITH ON THE XFL. BUT GO DC.
Bandwagon alert

Defenders 4-0!
Great analysis
Cinque Sweeting is the best player on the viper offense and the kid gets the least amount of reps .
Martavis Bryant should be playing in the big league.
Drug problems that's why out the league

Took the over and DC. Appreciate the easy money..
Defenders got ya covered brody!
DC Defenders sound better, look better and compete better than the "commanders"! SHEESH 🤣! New owner, PLEASE rename the team!
I never get tired of seeing that beer snake!
Perez is still my favorite spring football QB.
Same here. When the AAF and second incarnation were around, I was rooting for the Birmingham Iron and New York Guardians. He QB'd both teams very well.
Went to highschool with Brandon at Carroll in flora Indiana
DC color scheme and logo is dope.
If only they drop them uniforms!!!!
Good game but I genuinely feel bad for the Vipers
Really exciting game. The Vipers aren't bad, just keep making costly mistakes.
Better then the Commanders
That’s not saying much lol
Please keep this league
Vegas should not be 0-4. They just have key momentum moments that they come on the losing end of every week.
You lost cuz you fumbled on the first snap, you lost cuz you got stuffed on fourth twice, you lost cuz you missed a chip shot, you lost cuz a WR slipped. Swept, try harder next year. No excuses, play like a champion.
The need to make their mascot a Snake with a Beer in one hand and a Shield in the other
DC Snake Defenders :)
way too go DC.
You know!
Dc crowd be loud for amount of fans
Brah we always bring the energy. We match and overdue. If it’s a slight crowd, then we won’t have vocal cords, and if it’s a lot of us. We DEFINITELY won’t. The event staff lets fans group up and we can get chants going better. Circle around Audi field as much as possible. We gon’ get loud💯
Ps:our stadiums sell out half the arena, the only scarce areas frfr are the upper decks and semi expensive suites
At 2:50....whoever is in that skybox is not paying attention. You don't call a timeout when one DB is covering two WR's?
DC really just decided to run up the score the last 2 mins
The NFL needs a league like this so guys have a choice coming out of college. You don’t have to go to Canada and play a different game. We can keep the boys at home and draft from there. It’s like a AA league for the NFL. XFL has to succeed!
King should be the only starter at QB
D.c looking good 👍

Now you know
Oh Okay
Battle hawks will get to the top pretty soon
Defenders own the north.
No
dc on top 🔝
🛡️🛡️🛡️ let’s gooo 4-0
Congratulations
Let's go let's go
Gotta change that one foot in rule. Getting paid, ya gotta play at the NFL level. Can't have professional players playing college level ball.
St. Louis looks forward to hosting our undefeated guests this Saturday!
Sheesh. Vegas has not one but two bad football teams. What are the odds 😅
Idk if DBs can’t cover in or everyone just in zone
Perez was throwing Dots all game. Hope he makes an NFL roster this year
His limited mobility may hinder that.
They gotta let D'Eriq King get a few more snaps a game , let him play WR again or kick return. He had at least one return TD back in the day at Houston guy is a baller. I'm just saying let him get maybe 5 to 10 more snaps a game.
Defenders on a role!!!

DB shout out Davin Bellamy still shutting games down !!!
good game
Can someone explain why they took 10 secs of the clock at the end of the 2nd?
It was a running clock, so if the play was overturned the theory is that the offense wouldn't have the time to hurry to the line and get another play off. If the vipers had a timeout they could have used it so there wouldn't be a runoff.

13:52
Defenders + Commanders = DC !! Real football city !! Let's go.
SCORIGAMI!!
14:46 VEGAS SUCKS
That was my area of the stadium. Lol right next to vegas bench and fans
Let's go
The Skins without Dan Snyder is going to be the coolest.
🌟🌟🌟🏈🏈
I (hate) ❤ XFL...where is a Minnesota team? I want season tickets!!!
Vipers defense held up all game only allowing field goals after field goals
What you mean…? Dc defenders put up 30 points
Typical Vegas 😂
that halftime rule is so stupid. Its not the vipers fault that the refs got the call wrong. The vipers didn't challenge either. BTW its not the refs fault either, it was close. They should've placed the ball and had running clock
lets gooo
I don’t like football enough to watch this again.
Most people don't like to watch the same game multiple times.
@10:24 I wanna know why was the single safety so far in the endzone, why keep bacc pedaling when no one is running that deep, then didn't even drive on the ball when it's thrown .. waited for wr to get to him trash player
Well, the Vipers seem to be one of the worse teams in the XFL. No worries, I will still try to make it to a home game or two if finances allow
Vehas quarterback should call himself, the sack eater. Because that's his specialty. Plus he is too small. Bench him. And why vegas defense lines up way out of the play
I am waiting for Birmingham
Vipers need a new kicker asap rocky
My Hello’s 🎉
H town Roughnecks all the way
Woodson should quit coaching, he's terrible at it. Woodson doesn't know the rules. The Booth is calling, maybe get your job back on the Football panel
Disagree. He's a good coach, and the Vipers play hard.
@@JamesENichols good coaches don't go 0-4.
@@JamesENichols Woodson is a shitty coach good at losing. The Vipers are untalented mess. Stick a fork in them, they are out of Sin City
Why go back to perez when Huntley is so much better?
Because Hundley isnt better. He didnt score all game in week 2, he only looked decent game 3 because they were against the worst defense in the league.
It's not even as good of a product as college football, but it is fairly entertaining to watch.
Probably because a lot of them haven't played in a long time
Uuh idk about that I’ve seen horrible football on all levels. College always be my favorite but let’s be real they have bad games also so does nfl.
That’s a dumb rule
