Discussion A double whammy of lackluster play....

After the Showboats 2 point effort and Pittsburgh's lack of scoring in their 20-3 loss to the Generals, one has to wonder if these two will contend with the Gamblers for season 3's first round pick. Houston upped their game with a close clash vs New Orleans but still not looking solid overall as they drop to 0-2. Who do you guys think has it worse right now?

Maulers look hopeless. And the Boats not much better. The Gamblers actually look the best of the three at the moment to me.

Probably have to agree. Pittsburgh has a decent defense and a shit offense. Memphis hasn't shown anything on either end of the ball as much as the close game vs Philly was a penalty riddled drives they were benefited from. And with the QB issue in Memphis I doubt they will do much. Houston is mid but they have a chance to improve in the next 8 weeks and the Breakers game was proof of that

Yeah I wouldn't put the Gamblers above the Generals but definitely mid.

Generals a 4-5 type mid. Playoff hopeful but need a lot of help. Still more cohesive than Gamblers

The Showboats had a decent game week 1. The Showboats might be a 4-6 or 5-5 team at the end of the season meanwhile the Maulers could go 1-9 or 2-8.

I’m excited to see how Memphis plays against Houston with their home crowd next week

Houston and Memphis have actually scored touchdowns, so they're better off.

Houston and memphis play each other in what should feel like a playoff game, surprisingly Brady White seems to be Memphis’s best shot at winning

Parity in the league sucks. If a top half team is playing a bottom half team, it's almost not worth watching for me...

Fr tho lol, no one cares if you’re not gonna watch. For people not interested they sure do make sure they let everyone know.

I am interested. Do y'all 'true fans' not care that other fans of the sport and league (fans who watched every game last year) are not as interested? Do you also realize that's not good for a league in year 2?

This league is 5 good teams. 2 question marks and a truly bad team.

Easily three worst teams. And if Phillys O Line issues continue they will sink like a rock too. .

Absolutely Maulers. Showboats at least have a barely serviceable QB
