nine Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 So I just learned the AAF's inaugural season starts tonight. I knew the new league was coming but haven't followed it at all; I didn't realize it's already here. The ten-week season starts tonight and ends in April. https://aaf.com/schedule Some notable rule changes No kickoffs. Offenses start at the 25-yard line. No PAT kicks. Teams must run or pass for a PAT. No onside kicks. After a TD, the trailing team has the option of attempting to convert 4th & 12 from their own 28. Replays will be decided by the booth, not the on-field officials. Defenses can only rush five defenders and can only rush down linemen and linebackers. No safety or corner blitzes. I'm not expecting a great product, but I find it intriguing....and I like the idea of having most players assigned regionally based on college or previous NFL experience. It seems like they're trying to fill the gap left behind by the demise of NFL Europe....a better and more lucrative development league for players who have talent but weren't quite NFL-ready. I wish them luck. C_Train, TNTitans, and SuperFreak90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'll definitely be watching. The NFL badly needs a farm system and this league has some great potential as a guinea pig of sorts to try different ideas.

They kept it low key in order to get the jump on McMahon and the XFL reboot. Now, they are hoping to make good on the cliche "snooze you lose".

I wish them luck. I like some of the rules changes they are piloting and really want them to be implemented in the NFL. No kickoffs. Hell yes. Shorten the game. No onside kicks. Hell yes. Instead of the game coming down to your kicker it comes down to Brady or Mahomes converting. Awesome. Replays decided by booth. Hell yes. Speed this shit up.
