Big play by Portland wiped out by a penalty that most teams would slide on. Feels like the same junk I had to see with Spokane last year. The officiating has been terrible. first the fumble which should have been a forward pass, then a penalty which didn't even come close to being a penalty.

After the Soul score, they kick the extra point. The whitle blows and they still run the clock for like 4 or 5 seconds. This seems like it should be looked at.

Well, I figured out why Portland's uniforms looked familiar to me. The AFL basically just recycled the old Chicago Rush look. Don't get me wrong. Portland's look looks good, especially with the unique "Steel font" they've got. BUt it just shows the league was lazy coming up with this whole re-brand process.

In the IFL, that return would have been a rouge!

Portland needs to score here just to feel somewhat good about themselves.
Other than that... this game needs a mercy rule.

In the IFL, that return would have been a rouge! I was thinking the same thing. Angi pitched that idea out on ArenaFan to try and tweak the value of the kicking game and it got mixed reactions. Mainly the AFL purists weren't a fan of it... though Tim didn't say anything, and he watches Canadian Football (which has the rouge). Personally, I say put the Rouge in. Could make the returning kickoffs more exciting and help with better field position.

The announcers are correct. The Steel line is not protecting Southwick in the least.

You can't put all the blame on Southwick. The O-line makes the Seahawks O-Line look like Pro Bowlers.

Like treating her like she doesn't know anything. We know that is not even close to the truth.

They act like she and I don't know much about our perspective cities. It's not like we've lived in these places the "Gurus" think they know everything about. It's toxic there. Unless you sip the cool-aid about the future of the league and root for bigger teams, you're irrelevant.

That's the end of the half. I guess "ugly" might be an understatement.
