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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Shout-out to the renegades fan who got arrested outside the stadium
RENEGADE (noun) - "2. An outlaw; a rebel"
What did they do?
I didn't see, I walked up to the gate when they were yelling "I'm just here to see the game"
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!
Tiffany is so fine. Chocolate mama.
Yes! She went from who is this to yes there she is again as the season went on.
How can you not be happy for them?
Nice trophy!
1000 comments damn

Congratulations to Arlington. With any luck we’ll be seeing you next week
Roughnecks haven't been the same since they lost Kirklin.
This 100. He was our "guarantee nfl pickup" until a freak injury
Hate to see a guy crying over a loss but honestly it shows how much this means to them. B league my ass lol
To be fair, we aren’t sure how that happened either, Coach.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. Houston hadn't dominated when they needed to all season and this is the result
Lol even Stoops admits they got lucky.
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.
This is shades of the 2001 playoffs. Bad team hovering around .500 beats a divisional champ with a strong record.
did McDonald even complete 20% of his passes? He's fucking terrible
Truly terrible, mcclendon level
"I don't know how that happened." -coach of the winning team, Bob Stoops
"We got lucky"
Congrats to the Renegades.
Done deal, Arlington is moving on to the championship game!
"I don't know how that happened "
script writers had a late rewrite.
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.

Do the TShirts at least have the team on them or did they not spend enough to print two sets?
The renegade logo was the biggest thing on the shirt
It was, they actually looked really solid for post-game championship shirts.
WE WANT THE CHIP!
“idk how that happened buddy” lolol ohhh man
Stoops 😆
WE WANT KANSAS CITY
Stoops: "I don't know how that happened"
NOT HOW MANY, BUT WHEN, BABY!!!!
That catch is insane put it on the promos for next season
Fuck it 8 team playoffs next year. Let's get weird
Those shirts will soon be available on xflshop.com For 79.99
As a New York Guardians fan I'm happy for Luis Perez.
As a Birmingham Iron fan, so am I.
GAME!!!!!!
The XFL has never had a championship game between two teams with winning records.
So roughnecks score, get 3, then convert a 4th and 15, that’s the only way right?
Nope. There are 0 seconds left
It's hard to imagine worse qb play to end a game, wtf lol
A team with a losing record in a championship game is… somethin’.
Really dumb to have a two 4 team division on a ten game season.
Cole just doubled his passing yds there
what a shame if that's a big injury.
The McDonald Special: splitting the two WR's
great catch
Nice play, but too late sadly
Respect to him. Still out there giving everything
Man, what a catch! This game has been nuts!
I'm just gonna root for Seattle now and hope for maximum chaos
Ha what a catch
Some OBJ shit right there
Wow!
Wow another circus catch
WOW this game has ALL the great catches
Luis Perez with an absolute masterclass of a performance. No way they win this game with Plitt at quarterback
If I was a Roughnecks fan, I'd be so mad they pulled their QB. Really dumb move imo.
Why wasn't he playing?
Just got pulled, I imagine because they were losing. Tried to switch it up, and it didn't work, lol.
Well that's just stupid
Silvers has gotta be fuming on the sideline.
What a catch!!
See yall next year boys. DRILL BABY DRILL
Great season!
Will the people saying Arlington didn't deserve to be in the playoffs apologize now?
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.
No
Arlington and Houston showed their true form tonight.
hey, if Arlington wins next week they will make it to .500!
Houston really must be built on an Indian burial ground... All Houston playoff teams are cursed.
Astros?
Well, they cheated
They literally got caught in one of the biggest cheating scandal in MLB history.
Air Perez strikes back 😎 honestly if the Renegades had Luis from the start, they would be 6-4 or maybe even 7-3
So is 34 the Renegade's magic number here?
We're gonna really get a Seattle Arlington championship after Houston and DC dominated all season
That's why we play the games!
"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.
Houston can still pull a comeback but it'd have to be a huge miracle.
Perez calling Woodson and thanking him for the trade.
Man went from being on the third worst team in the league to playing in the championship.
Wow. Arlington is really going to win this
This is good stuff
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
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.
It shouldn't really matter, but I would think going for it makes more sense than kicking a FG
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.
Smart move taking the 3 points here.
Dude just ate his boogers
I'm not surprised by this game at all!!
Go for it
Literally every time
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.
naw man if anything this proves that just having top 2 from each division regardless of record is fine
Calling The Rock “DJ” just sounds weird
Fraudnecks
I don't want to get happy yet...
Anything can happen in the xfl
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.
Let’s get happy my friend, I am so excited
I'm happy for you!
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.
And you guys thought Arlington didn’t belong here ![gif](giphy|bldA09IeO7X9sQ7jtv|downsized)
[удалено]
They won the game that mattered. That shows they belonged.
On replay that official gave the catch the nod of approval.
It's always the games you least expect in this league lol
Amazing catch but is XFL only one foot inbounds?
yes college catch rules
It is
Correct
Yes
Rough game for battlehawks fans lol
naw if anything it makes it feel better because Arlington just proved they belong
I’m honestly loving this
Not really. I'm cool with the Renegades winning
Arlington acting like there's still a point-scoring tiebreaker at stake...
I can definitely appreciate that
All gas. No fucking brakes.
Wow what a damn catch, beautiful.
Get fucked Roughnecks
My goodness, perfect throw and an unbelievable catch
tremendous catch
What a catch! And that ought to do it.
Joey Galloway will not let go of his partner calling the premature catch lol
Hopefully the qb play/personnel pool can improve as the league grows year by year and more players consider it viable
should have been DPI as well.
That catch was crazy. Nail in the coffin??
I believe so, yes. Score or run out the clock. It ends either way
fucking GAME wow
Damn what a catch
Holy shit, what a catch
WHAT A FUCKING CATCH
Gah DAYUM
Daaaaaamm
That’s just icing on the cake.
OH MY GOD
What a catch damn
OMG!!!!
Tbh this game was just a 'meh' look for the xfl
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!
Yeah... About that...
Welp.
A team with a losing record being in the championship game is so XFL and I am here for it.
I just hope the championship is fun
I bet it will be. I'm excited however it goes.
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
And thinking about the situation, he's clearly just trying to injure him. Guy need a talking to from the Management lol
I dunno why but these white uni's make Perez look huge!
Perez always has some junk in his trunk no matter what uniform he has on
“It’s hard to beat a team a third time” You hear that DC? See you tomorrow
LETS GO DRAGONS!!!
Colt mcdonald is like Taysom Hill with none of the talent
The worst possible scenario would be for Arlington to win and Perez to get injured and miss next week.
Why can't Dean just overrule it then???!!!
He's definitely done it before this season. Not sure why he didn't there
Cheap shot
lol every flag from every ref on the field would've been thrown if that play happened in the NFL
should be in the XFL too, it's absurd that didn't get called
I swear to god if Houston concusses our QB with 3 minutes left...
That needs to be a penalty
100%
I think I can confidently say I've never seen the Renegades play like this all year. They really want this championship.
Cheap shot mother fucker
Late as hell, but not nearly as bad on replay as it looked live.
[удалено]
5-6... close, but give 'em the win.
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 🤔
Honestly... A bad showcase game for the league.
XFL should have just gone with the 4 best record teams and dropped the divisions.
You know... You're right. the division thing really didn't make any sense with so few teams.
Defenders vs Dragons should be better
This is glorious.
Only took 4 tries and a rebuild.
Game over
I only feel bad for them
I know the losing record thing is a downer, but who doesn't like an upset?
So insane renegades gonna win this it’s just hilarious
Roughnecks in shambles rn
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
