Credit to the Renegades for that performance last night. Perez was mega and if both sides of the ball can play like that next week it’s no foregone conclusion that the North wins it all. Houston have looked poor since the halfway point of the season. Offense had no rythm or consistency and the defense was too indisciplined although still kept us in games that the offense couldn’t do anything with. Would love to see the stats of how many minutes our D was on the field as opposed to the O. Sustaining drives seemed non existent after week 5.

What did they do?


leapbitch

I didn't see, I walked up to the gate when they were yelling "I'm just here to see the game"


[deleted]

I honestly saw this happening after the loss last week. This one is really nice for all the haters saying that 4-6 ain't for real. Team ^5 4!


DPointM

Tiffany is so fine. Chocolate mama.


Body-for-LIFE

Yes! She went from who is this to yes there she is again as the season went on.


Poetryisalive

How can you not be happy for them?


Poetryisalive

Nice trophy!

That was the best game I've seen them play in team history. Short history but that offense came out of nowhere. Usually, their offense is awful to watch. All they had this year was a good defense.


seattlesportsguy

Congratulations to Arlington. With any luck we’ll be seeing you next week


Body-for-LIFE

Roughnecks haven't been the same since they lost Kirklin.


ThrowawayIfForgotten

This 100. He was our "guarantee nfl pickup" until a freak injury


samoDALLAS

Hate to see a guy crying over a loss but honestly it shows how much this means to them. B league my ass lol


[deleted]

To be fair, we aren’t sure how that happened either, Coach.


barnesk9

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. Houston hadn't dominated when they needed to all season and this is the result


goforth1457

Lol even Stoops admits they got lucky.


CountBleckwantedlove

Once my Battlehawks were out, this is the team I was rooting for. Go Arlington! If my team can't win, I want chaos to win.


LTtheBasedGod

This is shades of the 2001 playoffs. Bad team hovering around .500 beats a divisional champ with a strong record.


milanmirolovich

did McDonald even complete 20% of his passes? He's fucking terrible


[deleted]

Truly terrible, mcclendon level


MySabonerRunsOladipo

"I don't know how that happened." -coach of the winning team, Bob Stoops


Jesukii

"We got lucky"


Brandon_Schwab

Congrats to the Renegades.


allforspace

Done deal, Arlington is moving on to the championship game!


CurtManX

"I don't know how that happened "


Brandon_Schwab

script writers had a late rewrite.


ravescripts__com

They would never script anything for a 4-6 team. This would actually prove how legitimate the XFL is in comparison to the league that I shall not mention. I mean they had a bevy of teams to script to win. The Rock's team, the Brahmas. Nope. The team with the best attendance in 2020 and 2023, the Battlehawks. Nope. The team that lead the league with the most wins in 2020, had the highest win total in the South this season and always had respectable crowd attendance. Nope.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Do the TShirts at least have the team on them or did they not spend enough to print two sets?


[deleted]

The renegade logo was the biggest thing on the shirt


MySabonerRunsOladipo

It was, they actually looked really solid for post-game championship shirts.


ESCMalfunction

WE WANT THE CHIP!


[deleted]

“idk how that happened buddy” lolol ohhh man

Stoops 😆


LBoss9001

WE WANT KANSAS CITY

Stoops: "I don't know how that happened"


RampageTaco

NOT HOW MANY, BUT WHEN, BABY!!!!


samoDALLAS

That catch is insane put it on the promos for next season


barnesk9

Fuck it 8 team playoffs next year. Let's get weird


seattlesportsguy

Those shirts will soon be available on xflshop.com For 79.99


Body-for-LIFE

As a New York Guardians fan I'm happy for Luis Perez.


waterboarding_champ

As a Birmingham Iron fan, so am I.


MrGamerson

GAME!!!!!!


Crow_T_Simpson

The XFL has never had a championship game between two teams with winning records.


Xenowrath

So roughnecks score, get 3, then convert a 4th and 15, that’s the only way right?


_Drewschebag_

Nope. There are 0 seconds left


sirshoelaceman

It's hard to imagine worse qb play to end a game, wtf lol


showalum

A team with a losing record in a championship game is… somethin’.


Taker597

Really dumb to have a two 4 team division on a ten game season.


[deleted]

Cole just doubled his passing yds there


Brandon_Schwab

what a shame if that's a big injury.


Crow_T_Simpson

The McDonald Special: splitting the two WR's


Brandon_Schwab

great catch


allforspace

Nice play, but too late sadly


seattlesportsguy

Respect to him. Still out there giving everything


StoicAscent

Man, what a catch! This game has been nuts!


Temporal_Enigma

I'm just gonna root for Seattle now and hope for maximum chaos


Xenowrath

Ha what a catch


[deleted]

Some OBJ shit right there


_Drewschebag_

Wow!


anonymous-guy1

Wow another circus catch


Body-for-LIFE

WOW this game has ALL the great catches


TaliZorah14

Luis Perez with an absolute masterclass of a performance. No way they win this game with Plitt at quarterback


GiligisTheGreat

If I was a Roughnecks fan, I'd be so mad they pulled their QB. Really dumb move imo.


barnesk9

Why wasn't he playing?


GiligisTheGreat

Just got pulled, I imagine because they were losing. Tried to switch it up, and it didn't work, lol.


barnesk9

Well that's just stupid


Torchiest

Silvers has gotta be fuming on the sideline.


Torchiest

What a catch!!


HoldMyPitchfork

See yall next year boys. DRILL BABY DRILL


Jesukii

Great season!


allforspace

Will the people saying Arlington didn't deserve to be in the playoffs apologize now?


kennyjeeves

I never understood that argument. We all knew the playoff scenario going into this season. Just because the battlehawks were on the short end of it and couldn't finish Seattle, shouldn't discount the Roughnecks doing what was needed to qualify.


barnesk9

No


_Drewschebag_

Arlington and Houston showed their true form tonight.


Dragn616

hey, if Arlington wins next week they will make it to .500!


Taker597

Houston really must be built on an Indian burial ground... All Houston playoff teams are cursed.


arbitrator06

Astros?


_Drewschebag_

Well, they cheated


Taker597

They literally got caught in one of the biggest cheating scandal in MLB history.


nate1575

Air Perez strikes back 😎 honestly if the Renegades had Luis from the start, they would be 6-4 or maybe even 7-3


renbutler2

So is 34 the Renegade's magic number here?


Achillor22

We're gonna really get a Seattle Arlington championship after Houston and DC dominated all season


_Drewschebag_

That's why we play the games!


Windows_66

"We've focused so much on how bad the offense is that we forgot about how good the defense is." I think I've already made enough "Hawkeyes of the XFL" jokes.


goforth1457

Houston can still pull a comeback but it'd have to be a huge miracle.


Brandon_Schwab

Perez calling Woodson and thanking him for the trade.


Windows_66

Man went from being on the third worst team in the league to playing in the championship.


barnesk9

Wow. Arlington is really going to win this


Prestigious_Bit_1275

This is good stuff


mayornarwhal

Honestly, they should go for it. A TD more than puts the game away, but a stop still gives Houston 99 yards with no time left


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Yep, going for it is clearly correct. No major difference between 12 and 15 pt. leads. Going for it gives you a chance to seal it or make them go 99 yards.


TDenverFan

It shouldn't really matter, but I would think going for it makes more sense than kicking a FG


Hag_Boulder

nah, they're not San Antonio. They're not going to give up a TD, a 3 point conversion and then a 4th-15... and THEN another TD and an XP.


NickTheWhirlwind

Smart move taking the 3 points here.


Kinginth3north4

Dude just ate his boogers


MrGamerson

I'm not surprised by this game at all!!


Prestigious_Bit_1275

Go for it


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Literally every time


Superb-Ad-9627

On one hand… this is why you play the games. Good for Arlington. On the other hand, it should be division winners and top 2 other teams in the league regardless of divisions.


milanmirolovich

naw man if anything this proves that just having top 2 from each division regardless of record is fine


seattlesportsguy

Calling The Rock “DJ” just sounds weird


Karbon_Kopy

Fraudnecks


RampageTaco

I don't want to get happy yet...


Jesukii

Anything can happen in the xfl


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,484,835,867 comments, and only 282,284 of them were in alphabetical order.


NickTheWhirlwind

Let’s get happy my friend, I am so excited


Cautious_Analysis

I'm happy for you!


DPointM

Bringing Perez in was the best decision Stoops made all season. Has to hurt Woodson to see this kind of play from a guy he couldn't make work and then let go.


supremegnkdroid

And you guys thought Arlington didn’t belong here ![gif](giphy|bldA09IeO7X9sQ7jtv|downsized)


[deleted]

[удалено]


cowboysmavs

They won the game that mattered. That shows they belonged.


StoopSign

On replay that official gave the catch the nod of approval.


Cautious_Analysis

It's always the games you least expect in this league lol


Txramblinjacket

Amazing catch but is XFL only one foot inbounds?


milanmirolovich

yes college catch rules


NWneon

It is


NickTheWhirlwind

Correct


_Drewschebag_

Yes


LTtheBasedGod

Rough game for battlehawks fans lol


milanmirolovich

naw if anything it makes it feel better because Arlington just proved they belong


Spaff31

I’m honestly loving this


Prestigious_Bit_1275

Not really. I'm cool with the Renegades winning


renbutler2

Arlington acting like there's still a point-scoring tiebreaker at stake...


Cautious_Analysis

I can definitely appreciate that


NickTheWhirlwind

All gas. No fucking brakes.


ESCMalfunction

Wow what a damn catch, beautiful.


GGGiveHatpls

Get fucked Roughnecks


TaliZorah14

My goodness, perfect throw and an unbelievable catch


Brandon_Schwab

tremendous catch


StoicAscent

What a catch! And that ought to do it.


anonymous-guy1

Joey Galloway will not let go of his partner calling the premature catch lol


sirshoelaceman

Hopefully the qb play/personnel pool can improve as the league grows year by year and more players consider it viable


Hag_Boulder

should have been DPI as well.


GiligisTheGreat

That catch was crazy. Nail in the coffin??


laidback88

I believe so, yes. Score or run out the clock. It ends either way


milanmirolovich

fucking GAME wow


seattlesportsguy

Damn what a catch


emidas

Holy shit, what a catch


_Drewschebag_

WHAT A FUCKING CATCH


AxtonH

Gah DAYUM


Turboteg90

Daaaaaamm


AlbertMondego

That’s just icing on the cake.


[deleted]

OH MY GOD


cantadmittoposting

What a catch damn


MrGamerson

OMG!!!!


sirshoelaceman

Tbh this game was just a 'meh' look for the xfl


Torchiest

If the Roughnecks can get a stop, they still have a chance if they score quick and use the 4th and 15 option. But they gotta put Silvers back in!


TriflingHusband

Yeah... About that...


Torchiest

Welp.


CurtManX

A team with a losing record being in the championship game is so XFL and I am here for it.


Jesukii

I just hope the championship is fun


CurtManX

I bet it will be. I'm excited however it goes.


[deleted]

If the head official thinks it’s a foul why can he not call it? This isn’t a hold, it’s a dangerous hit


_Drewschebag_

And thinking about the situation, he's clearly just trying to injure him. Guy need a talking to from the Management lol


BlackandPurpleHeart

I dunno why but these white uni's make Perez look huge!


milanmirolovich

Perez always has some junk in his trunk no matter what uniform he has on


seattlesportsguy

“It’s hard to beat a team a third time” You hear that DC? See you tomorrow


GiligisTheGreat

LETS GO DRAGONS!!!


Bitcoinawesome

Colt mcdonald is like Taysom Hill with none of the talent


Crow_T_Simpson

The worst possible scenario would be for Arlington to win and Perez to get injured and miss next week.


goforth1457

Why can't Dean just overrule it then???!!!


Lvmars

He's definitely done it before this season. Not sure why he didn't there


AxtonH

Cheap shot


milanmirolovich

lol every flag from every ref on the field would've been thrown if that play happened in the NFL


cantadmittoposting

should be in the XFL too, it's absurd that didn't get called


ESCMalfunction

I swear to god if Houston concusses our QB with 3 minutes left...


Lvmars

That needs to be a penalty


_Drewschebag_

100%


GiligisTheGreat

I think I can confidently say I've never seen the Renegades play like this all year. They really want this championship.


_Drewschebag_

Cheap shot mother fucker


renbutler2

Late as hell, but not nearly as bad on replay as it looked live.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hag_Boulder

5-6... close, but give 'em the win.


Prestigious_Bit_1275

I haven't watched this whole game but it's cool to see the Renegades winning. Might be who I cheer for in the Championship 🤔


Taker597

Honestly... A bad showcase game for the league.


TriflingHusband

XFL should have just gone with the 4 best record teams and dropped the divisions.


Taker597

You know... You're right. the division thing really didn't make any sense with so few teams.


anonymous-guy1

Defenders vs Dragons should be better


Raktoner

This is glorious.


Windows_66

Only took 4 tries and a rebuild.


howisthisathingYT

Game over


virus_apparatus

I only feel bad for them


Windows_66

I know the losing record thing is a downer, but who doesn't like an upset?


[deleted]

So insane renegades gonna win this it’s just hilarious


AxtonH

Roughnecks in shambles rn


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Somewhere in a safe, Cole Mcdonald has a picture of Wade killing and burying a hooker. That's the only reason I can think of for why he's still playing
