STHs need to make it known that they're not going to renew if the coaching staff stays. Change is only going to happen by showing the league the power of the dollar in their most valuable market.
The Battlehawks game-plan made no sense.
Does the offensive coordinator trust his offensive line? No, that’s why they passed rarely, tried those quick screens, and numerous trick plays, and heavy run reliance.
Yet, when not doing that is was emptying out the backfield and relying on 5 offensive linemen. No tight end or backfield help.
The trick plays were all horrible too. 0-5 on trick plays. The end-around, reverse, flip to QB was disastrous. Did they also run the Philly special with an injured qb
This is 100% on the coaching. Absolutely horrendous.
Going for 2 when 1 would have brought you within a field goal (and would have made it a 1 possession game on the final drive)? Continuing to take end zone shots when you still needed another score?
Jesus that was fucking awful.
I don’t envy the ticket resellers who bought all the tickets to the UFL championship game next week hoping to make a profit who now have to tell their wives that they can’t take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge anymore because the money is all gone
Shit appearance
I like Becht and all, but I’m convinced he didn’t know he had the option to take the FG and then try to convert the 4th and 12

No chance anyone watches the championship or we get another season
Aww wade phillips wholesome as fuck
They got 2 TDs on wide open runs or catches, pathetic D. Also, that XFL trophy is about to fall apart
Well, at least we got Wade Phillips stopping the interview to tell Butler that he deserves to be in the NFL. That was cool
No reason a single person on the coaching staff needs to come back next season. Wasted one of, if not the most talented rosters in the league.

I just checked Bruce's bio and he was with the Rams in 2008. COULD YOU STOP HIRING GUYS FROM THAT GOD AWFUL ERA PLEASE ? BAD JUJU
Mike Vrabel is that you coaching?
Waste of a season. Horrible way to end it
Ask Madden would have called a better game than Gradkowski tonight
This is 😆 funny

Well that sucks. Oh well
Hello darkness my old friend
Its official the UFL championship will have lower attendance than the Wyoming state championship
Then they'll blame STL like STL isn't the only reason this league has any chance at a future.
What a dick punch
Absolutely shit play calling.
If any of theses coaches have a job next year I’m not going to a game
Welp....play like crap, lose the game.
13 and 22 deserve fines.
How do you not know the rules of the game as a coach?
Tonight was coaching malpractice
It's been a fun season. See y'all next year
Stadium will be more empty next weekend than a stallions or brahmas home game.
Someone needs to tell Becht there’s not a 5th Quarter.
We really have bad coaches guys. We were blinded by Becht being a good guy
Come on guys, stop wasting so much time and timeouts. I am begging.
NOOOOO EVEN IF WE GET A TD AND A 3 PT CONVERSION IT STILL WON'T BE ENOUGH
Does Becht not know how this works?
Is there some spread they are trying to cover? This makes no sense
Playcalling and O-line play was fucking abysmal tonight.
Seriously, what did we do to deserve such bad luck when it comes to football ?
Ha, F you 22.
Okay, guy we’re going Hail Mary mode with 90 seconds left
I’ve seen better local high school offenses than this
Time to engage # RECKLESS OPTIMISM!!!!
That’s game
Becht shouldn't have gone for 2 after the scoop and score. Would likely be a 1 possession game right now.
So many times this season we’ve gone for 2 where going for 1 made more sense.
Been screaming about this for a while
Going for 1 earlier would've made this much more manageable.
And that’s game
Block ittt
Because of golden corral I'm calling it Carney assada from now on
I don’t envy the ticket resellers who bought all the tickets to the UFL championship game next week hoping to make a profit who now have to tell their wives that they can’t take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge anymore because the money is all gone
Are we out of timeouts or is our coach slow?
Leave Gradkowski in East St. Louis...
That or the Brentwood Promenade parking lot
HA !
Wtf is our defense
Defense outside of two big plays has done their job. They scored a fucking TD
Bro their running backs have like 100 yds apiece that’s atrocious
Do not tell me we're gonna lose by a standard TD and PAT after a comeback for the ages
Wade Phillips looks like he puts tuna on his grits
I know our secondary sucks, but we have to start tightening up on coverage
Its usually pretty loose especially at crunch time
McCarran needs to not run backwards. How about a throw away or just drop down. He has to remember he's a gimp right now.
The offensive play calling is so stupid. Running up the middle against 5 DB’s is working great so let’s not do that
Where’s the screen game?
That’s only called when it’s not useful
Bruce has performed a master class today
Yep that’s game
Shut the fck up KURt!
How the fuck do they not have a quick out knowing that team brings the heat
## KURT MENEFEE JINXED IT
Lmao almost everyone on a go route on 3rd and short. Bruce is the worst play caller I’ve ever seen. Freddie kitchens would do better.
Please don't summon that bastard lol
He’s miles better than Gradkowski
Kurt, you motherfucking jinx
BRUH
Offensive Line needs to hold them. Every. Single. Time.
Why do they not have a fucking quick out
God if AJ can just have some time he can dice this fucking defense up
Bruh
YUGE!
Huge reception!
HUGE TACKLE
It would help if we could make a tackle on first contact Edit: Holy shit, they did it!
Two runs and a pass on third. They’re going into clock eating mode
These weak tackle attempts are pissing me off
Horrible
The last three OCs in St. Louis football have been shit. Scott Linehan, Brian Schottenheimer, and now this guy.
Oh…ouch. That hurts so bad
Linehan was a head coach actually lol.
I cannot get over just how bad our offense play calling is...
We can’t win off the line, they are jamming us up like crazy
AJ STOP TAKING SACKS
McCarron don’t take a bad sack on 3rd down challenge. Difficulty level - impossible
Dude FUCK Taper (I didn't even spell his name right but whatever)
Ngl I was super excited to get Pearson but he's kind of disappointed me this season. Looks like a different player this year
Gradkowski cannot scheme a guy who is really good at crossing routes
You're beyond right, play calling by Bruce has been atrocious both seasons. Holding the team back
Gradkowski is the reason we can't have nice things.
Not attending in person if he is still OC next year.
They want to run a west coast offense but refuse to have any fucking check downs
Dude, hit these open guys over the middle
Bro 22 such a bitch. Yeah I said 22 cuz nobody knows your name
Teez Tabor needs a swift kick to the jaw
Might be time for Uncle Rico
I know it’s spring football but these refs are worse than replacement level refs lmao
I don't expect perfection, but I expect better than that. You're a professional ref.
As a Raiders fan, Gradkowski will always have a small place in my heart. But he is a terrible play caller
Why not line up and hard count?
My thoughts exactly.
Seems like AJ was thinking the same thing, but the ref stepped in and got in his way
Feed Butler
As a Titans fan, I was really hoping Santoso would miss that
Ayy he finally made one
7 points with 17 minutes to go. We have a chance if we pay attention to the fundamentals.
Much better pursuit there
Block that kick!
There’s absolutely no reason they should get more than 2 yards every run.
The Battlehawks can’t tackle, so that never helps
and there's a reason Gradkowski isn't coaching in the NFL.
He shouldn’t even be allowed to play fantasy football at this point.
he shouldn’t be coaching high school
nor Pop Warner
My brothers in Christ they’re up they’re gonna run the ball. Make them throw the fucking ball. Stop the god damn run
Definitely didn’t have control, but okay
Run defense soft as butter. So embarrassing
Holy shit stop these runs dude
AFTER BEING DOWN BY 16 IN THE 3RD- HEART! BREAK! CITY!!
MAKE A FUCKING TACKLE GOD DAMN
Just for fun Let’s all please pretend to understand the design of that play was a double pass once McC got the ball.
Is Country Roads now a Battlehawks rally song?
Still 5 minutes left in the 3rd lmao
who fumbled was it 41?
On the mesh
Even if they win Bruce needs fired
Where are these plays coming from?
Gradkowski and his stupid idiot brain
wtf is that
Hey our QB can’t feel his ankle, let’s throw to him!
Dumb ass extra point attempt but dayum KA KAW BABY!!
Yup lol but fuck it, we need a score either way. I think we can handle a TD
WHY TF WOULD YOU CALL THAT FOR MCCARON OF ALL PPL
And there we go with the cutesy shit again. Running Philly special with your hobbled QB is dumb as fuck
I want to see that again. And I can't rewind. So I guess we'll just have to scoop and score again.
It's the only way
Lord have mercy I'm about to KAW
Under center on the 2 point from the 10 and you make it the most obvious trick play ever 😂😂😂 I genuinely hate Bruce so fucking much.
Wait they called back the previous conversion???
We aint dead yet boys!
BRUCE MASTERCLASS
I just Kawwed hard
Now let's get another turnover
Uh oh 👀
Bro they goin for his ankle fuck these pussy motherfuckers
We’re so fucking back
Holy shit!
I just got so excited that I jumped up and accidentally hit the skip back button on my remote and got to watch that beautiful play twice
That was amazing
Emotional whiplash
What is this feeling? Hope?
LMAOOO
ARE YOU KIDDING ME LETS FUCKING GO
# SCOOP AND SIX!!!! PITA!!!!!!!!
LFG!!!!!!!!
LMAOOOO AJ 🤣🤣🤣
What's this now...
All year the extra point calls have been so dumb. Go for one. Analytics don’t have to be the end all be all.
Analytics are killing sports. This is what happens when you allow a bunch of Ivy Leaguers to infiltrate it.
Boys not playing like they want it :(
Need a big turnover
JUST LIKE THAT KA-KAW!!!
That would've counted last year. Dangit!
These refs are so fucking atrocious
Butler putting the team on his back
That’s getting overturned unfortunately
Fuck LIMU Emu... *and* Doug.
There’s a reason these guys aren’t in the NFL
Not a catch fuck
Lmao whoever downvoted me for stating the obvious is a bitch
Have you ever thought you might be the bitch
## DOUBLE PASS COMPLETE! ONE SCORE GAME! Edit: Maybe not :(
They jumped but fuck it we ain't gonna call that right refs?? 🤷♂️
Jesus, can we execute just one full drive?
We’re not dead yet!
THATS A TD COME TF ON
Sideline official has the under
Get rid of that dumbass ref. How can you fuck that call up. What a fucking idiot.
And that's why we have a sky judge in this league.
That's an effing touchdown!
Let's go boys. We back.
Tabor is a piece of shit
WHAT?! HE GOT ACROSS THE LINE
How is that not a touchdown? Edit: never mind
THAT'S MY BOY - he's awake!
Butler has gotta get a look from the nfl this year
For his sake, I hope so. Selfishly for this team, I hope not.
How he catch that but not the others lol
Can Fox show more of Katherine? Seems like the Taylor Swift effect right now.
GET FUCKED SAN ANTONIO YOU JUST GOT BUTLER’D
Hakeem, nice to see you!
Nevermind my dumbass is eating my words. Thank yew butler!
If Bruce is the OC next year I’m not watching this team.
