Houston kicks a FG to get the scoring started

The drone motors are annoying

I have no recollection of the USFL in their first time around. BUT I think they were on par with NFL teams and were directly competing with them. Hell the Breakers were probably better than the Saints back then.

I remember it well. They convinced some good college players to sign like Herschel, Mike Rozier, Reggie White, Jim Kelly, Anthony Carter Steve Young, Gary Anderson, Kelvin Bryant, Tim Spencer, Flutie(more for his name and popularity) that would've been, save Flutie, 1st round NFL picks. They also stole a few vets from the NFL who were legit stars like Brian Sipe, Doug Williams, Joe Cribbs, Gary Barbaro, etc. Some older NFL players like QB's Greg Landry and Bobby Scott also signed. They also had some guys who later went to the NFL and became stars, like Gary Zimmerman(HOF), Sam Mills, Vaughn Johnson, Sean Landeta Mel Gray, etc. who might not have gotten a chance if not for the USFL. However, they were in no way whatsoever equal to the NFL. The Buccaneers who were by far the worst NFL team would've beaten the Philadelphia Stars the best USFL team by 5 td's.

Shea Patterson

Right where he left off.

Sucking

Scoop and score!

Shea gonna Shae. 11-0 HOU on a scoop and score

Shea benched

Was there whistles right before kick? That seemed strange

Higher number- total points, or fans in the stands?

Paxton Lynch needs to move on to his next career.
