GG Greg, not sure how that happened. All I can do is keep shambling along like a zombie.

Good game. We stumbled last 4 weeks, going 2-2 with 1 win in OT, so we weren't playing our best football. We were healthy, just got beat. Best of luck.

All 4 teams have been to the title game with Buffalo and Carolina looking for their 1st title.

Good luck everyone tonight!!!

GG Smirt. Two Safeties. That's interesting. I didn't watch the game. I don't watch anymore. A lot closer this time around.

Good luck in the Title game.

Thank you, CR.

Going in I thought our road might end here. The safeties were quirks. I just happened to get punts in on you that put you right at your own goal line. What's the odds of placing punts like that overall?

Hopefully we meet deep in the playoffs again next season!

My dawg, STS.

I gotta treat this as 2 16-0 teams going at it. Blinding out the 9-7 to non-consideration. :)

Good luck, bro.

Buffalo Skull Crushers (-6)

A defensive battle that came down to Buffalo having 2 long touchdown drives versus Oakland having just one. A couple of safeties added to Buffalo's lead while Oakland couldnt get any offense going in the 4th quarter to come up short.

Carolina entered the playoffs just happy to be there with no vision of making a dynamic run on their minds but that's exactly what happened as they shocked the world and defeated the defending Champs in a defensive slugfest. The game was scoreless at halftime and Carolina scored the games only touchdown to advance to XFL XII.

We will be crowning a 1st time Champion in the XFL this season. Both teams have made one appearance in the title game, Carolina lost in 2018 and Buffalo lost in 2020. Buffalo is a heavy favorite but Carolina has been a big underdog since the Wildcard round and they wouldn't have it any other way.
