First game

Post by firehawk5 » Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:30 pm

And the new rules already screw a team out of a victory. Double points inside of one minute. Come on this is some BS I ever saw it.

Can you say Vince McMahon??? Honestly, the scoring is bizarre but the rules are the same for all teams, if you do not want to be beaten by this BS, secure a big enough lead before the last several minutes of the game so that the crazy scoring does not matter.

Bush league. Alabama Outlawz didn't even have their uniforms. This is just horrible and bad for everyone that tries to make indoor football a real event.

It's the same scoring for both teams, The Rampage had the ball on the Outlaws 22 yard line with 32 seconds left in the game. Plenty of time to score the go ahead points. Point of interest, the Rampage decided not to go with a kicker on their roster. That keep them from trying a field goal at the end of the game to win.

Outlaws uniforms arrived today.

What is really going to hurt this league is the schedule. The Rampage don't play again until March 30th and the Outlaws, April 4th.

As far the uniforms go, a day late and a dollar short, what did the Outlaws do, play in their PJ's?? If you do not have the appropriate uniforms, then do not make the trip, heck even travel teams have legitimate uniforms.

Playing once every 3 to 4 weeks is a joke, what really hurts this league is the fact that they decided to have a season in the first place, just another sham in the making.

So are you saying that if a PIFL team has a problem, for example a fire ruins a teams uniforms the day before a game, they shouldn't make the trip and leave another team with no opponent?

I know you are saying they should have had their uniforms a while back, but we are not sure if the team ordered late or the company making the uniforms messed up.

Bananacat figured out the scoring with normal rules, the final score would have been 34 - 33 Rampage, but the Outlawz would have gone for 2 on the last touchdown to tie. The outcome may not have been any different, it was still a close game.

The rules do make it hard for the casual fan to follow, I believe the league will only last one year.

It does not matter to me whether it would be a PIFL team or not, ANY team in ANY league that can not field the proper equipment to play the game in a proper manner, then the game should be postponned or rescheduled to a date and time when the proper equipment is available, period. The fact that the team ordered the jerseys late is not an excuse. If the jersey company screwed up such that it could not be fixed in time, that is still not an excuse, the team should not have waited so long to order the jerseys, they had months to get the equipment ordered. The situation with the fire destroying the jerseys is a little different, I know that this did indeed happen, in this instance, the league needs to work with the teams to find a solution, such as, have the road team playing the the home teams whites that night if possible, otherwise reschedule the game when the game can be played appropriately.

A league and its member teams most important commodity is its REPUTATION, once that is destroyed, you never, and I mean, you NEVER get that back with the fans. Depending upon how you deal with these situations as a league will indeed define how your league is viewed by the fans, pretty simple concept. Whether it was the Dayton Warbirds of the UIF who tried to duct tape sheets of construction styrafoam to the dasherboards and call it padding (the team was suspended and never played a down) or whether it was the SIFL putting a semi-pro travel team into a defunct team's real jerseys in an attempt to pass them off as the real thing (the team lost 96-7), you have a choice to be a legitimate entity or you can be a three ring circus. It amazes me how many ringmasters there are in the indoor football world.

Did you really expect anything else given the track record of certain individuals associated with the league??? A league with only 4 active teams is hardly a league in the first place. If you jump into bed with bad people, the likelihood of contracting STD's goes way up, and this league is full of them.

The teams from the UIFL have just joined this league, correct?
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Founded 1908.
