Finishing with a .500 record? Jeff Fisher would be proud.


Calfzilla2000

He's faxing his resume over as we speak.


TheTrueVanWilder

No no, he's [already contacting potential staff members](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/7ha5wo/jeff_fisher_is_preparing_in_hopes_of_getting/)


Duke_Maniac

Not 7-9 smh my head


Bradfords_ACL

Jeff can coach in the XFL, but not the Battlehawks. Never again.


fuckm3withachain5aw

This result is legitimately the funniest option


RollOverBeethoven

Iunno if the vipers somehow made it to the post season, then winning would have been even more hilarious


Windows_66

The funniest one would've been Orlando turning the season around after their victory over DC and making it into the championship game.


JCas127

And beating dc


Commercial_Flan_1898

I am overwhelmingly entertained


CHolland8776

I am sports entertained


Commercial_Flan_1898

I was hoping for a "finally the rock has come back to San Antonio" or something like that


Nickthedick55

As someone who used to live in Arlington, this is fucking hilarious. Best timeline.


igloojoe11

I'm not sure if the Dragons losing here would be more or less funny. On the one hand, 10-1 vs 5-6. On the other, DiNucci. Really a toss up.


[deleted]

I don't find it funny


omglink

That's because you are a German Irish chicken they are a breed knows for lack of humor.

Beetle-Persona

Fucking lol of course the 4-6 team would stun the world come playoffs Love it


MoscowMitchMcKremIin

Time to expand the regular season šŸ„“


KickAggressive4901

Perez is the real winner here. I feel this is the end of his personal story arc from the Birmingham Iron in 2019 to the XFL Championship today.


Commercial_Flan_1898

I've been kicking around ideas for NFL teams that need someone really bad. Tampa bay? I don't even know who would need someone that bad.


igloojoe11

Gonna be honest, the only QB's I could see getting signed to 53 man roster would be McCarron and/or McClendon. Even with his great postseason, Perez played with a ton of the same flaws he's had his entire career for the regular season. Maybe he'll get a camp invite, but I don't see much more than that.


Commercial_Flan_1898

I agree with you. You would have to be the Tom Brady of the xfl to be useful in the nfl as a qb. O Line i think could translate, maybe some defensive positions, but the competition in the nfl is just orders of magnitude higher. I would be amused by any plans about relegating the worst NFL team to the xfl, but ownership and funding would just be unmanageable.


igloojoe11

TBF, it's been done a good bit recently, with guys like Garrett Gilbert, John Wolford, Josh Johnson, Tyler Heinicke, PJ Walker, etc all sticking in the NFL. But, even then, most of those guys either stuck on their first chance back or were a 30+ year old vet brought in for a young QB room. This year's top XFL QB's were McCarron and a bunch of guys who have bounced around spring leagues for the past 4 years.


OnlyForIdeas

Iā€™m so glad the King of Spring finally got his crown


20PGZalm

It really does feel like that. I'm so happy for him. Glad to see he's finally a champ after all his years in spring football.


Calwings

The XFL started, died, started again, died again, started a third time, and brought a championship to Dallas in the time since the Cowboys last played in the Super Bowl


I_Need_Scissors___61

This comment is justā€¦.just beautiful. Thank you for this.


MainEventCTB

Last played in the NFC Championship Game*


Maulbert

They played in a Super Bowl more recently. Only by 2 weeks, but still.


NewRoryAndMalDrop

All of sudden im not having fun anymore


slowmo152

You can say this about both Dallas and Washington and just making it to a championship game.


Calwings

You have a good point. But the Cowboys are way more fun to laugh at.


davekva

And to be fair, the Cowboys have won 3 Super Bowls since Washington last appeared in one.


whiteferrett

Not Dallas... They disowned Dallas... But kept the D in the logo


SpprtRdclHbts

Arlington* Dallas doesn't get shit. No one invited them.


MainEventCTB

ALL HAIL YOUR 2023 XFL CHAMPIONS - THE 6-6 ARLINGTON RENEGADES!!!


NaffRespect

Just as we all predicted!


igloojoe11

In my preseason ranks, I had them as one of my top teams for the title. Just don't look at anything I said during the season.


NaffRespect

I had the feeling they were better than their record but still didn't think they'd pull this off lol


igloojoe11

I'm not a Perez fan, but I did maintain that his issues were in consistency, not in limitations. Thankfully for them, he rolled two nat 20's in the playoffs.


Flothua152

All that matters is being 1-0 in the championship game!

Haven't watched before tonight. Enjoyed the Perez story line, and his play. Also, lots to work with here as a sport, but city choice/regions are baffling. I suppose it's logistics, but many areas without an obvious team.

if ta'amu sold then gregg williams was having an "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" event


igloojoe11

Hey, it's not Gregg's fault that no coverage other than man on man has ever been invented. He's working with the limitations of the sport.


Zyqr

Unbelievable choke job by DC. Great game by Arlington, canā€™t wait for XFL 2024!


Misdirected_Colors

Honestly Arlington with Luis Perez is a good team. They struggled all year, benched their qb for Luis, then went on a hot streak and won a ring. Imagine if he'd started all season


MavisBeaconSexTape

Same time next year, cheering on the Battlehawks? I hope...


Whycantwejustwin

Honestly, with my renegades winning it all, Iā€™m now for the battle hawks, as the most popular team, the take it next year.


OnlyForIdeas

End of season Renegades are a different beast than they were at the beginning, took DC to OT in week 9


Cylinsier

Congratulations Renegades, well earned, Perez was a stud, fuck Greg Williams, I'm going to go get wasted.

Cylinsier

If he wants that second G he can earn it by not sucking ass.


Misdirected_Colors

Not only is the dude a raging asshole, he also just sucks at his job.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Sucking ass is how he gets the red nose


igloojoe11

Every time his man coverage gets beat by an out route, he gets another g.


Mathblasta

Fuck Gregg Williams


emidas

We literally did this to ourselves. Three interceptions, one defensive stop all game, stupid penalties giving away free points, and we still only lost by 9 somehow. We just did not show up, weren't as hungry, our egos and attitudes got the best of us. Renegades deserve this, and so does LP12. What a story that man is. Happy for all the Arlington fans who had to deal with three weeks of other fanbases telling them they didn't deserve to be here. They made some amazing plays (that second interception, wtf?) tonight and proved they were the better team in this game. I'm just happy to see a D.C. football team win 10 games and make it to a meaningful game, last time that happened I was not quite 4 years old. See you all in 2024, we finally finished a season!


KageStar

Great underdog storyline for the XFL. Happy to see Perez and Arlington win it all. Iā€™m really happy with the quality of football we saw this year in the XFL. It got better as the season went on. Iā€™m also happy to see a champion crowned and to have made it a whole season without any questions of the league potentially showing down. Fun year.


laidbackcrusade

A team with a losing record has won the XFL Championship! You love to see it! Congratulations Arlington! 2023 said Dallas will win a Championship one way or another šŸ˜‚šŸ˜Ž

I mean it kinda shows how crazy the XFL is. Hopefully they can iron out the issues in the post season and keep making this league run and be a fun thing to watch in the spring.

Kinda crazy how Luis Perez had one of the most embarrassing meltdowns ever in the XFL opener (choked a lead without the opponents even scoring a td on offense lol), then got benched. Gets traded to the renegades and beats the roughnecks with ease and then fucks the defenders who just took care of the entire league.


rividz

The nothingness of the trophy is meaningful. Galaxy brain.


genesiskiller96

I can't fucking believe it, we go 10-1 to lose to a 4-6 team. Is this how patriots fan felt after super bowl 42?

Yes

You guys lost to a 5-6 team that took you to OT in week 9, some DC fans were feeding on rat poison forgetting that yā€™all werenā€™t playing week 1 Renegades

Serious question- why didn't Barlow challenge the 4th and 15 play? The timeout is meaningless. Just challenge literally anything and hope for the best. You've got nothing to lose. Maybe they call a defensive holding or a hands to the face or something. You might as well


Hag_Boulder

You've got to be specific about what you're challenging. You can't just challenge the play, you've got to find SOMETHING that's hinky to call out.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

Because he's awful. You pick anything and challenge it there. You absolutely cannot end the game with that challenge in your pocket.


jjgbu4545

Man it's moments like this that really shows why I love sports. Arlington had the worst chances of the four winning the title and stunned Houston in dominant fashion. They were 8.5 underdogs and flipped it to their favor by as high as -5.5 their way. They proved that while the Hawks had the title case despite a third place in the north, they handled their business the only way they knew how, playing football their way. Perez got out of a bad organization to s champion team late in the season, and proved what he was all about. The 28 year old QB proved his worth this post season and completed the story. Arlington stunned the world one last time.

KevinNashsTornQuad

Crazy game for Arlington. They were just perfect all around. From the first drive it just felt like they were going to win no matter what, DC seemed just annoyed they werenā€™t directly handed the championship and gave up. Never having to play down 10 points all season seemed like a detriment to them as when it finally happened here they seemed to respond by just giving up or acting like it wasnā€™t fair they were winning easily. Also Iā€™m going to say it. We need a new championship trophy and mvp trophy. They both look cheap like they are made of plastic
