The usual comprehensive and sensible Jeremy post. Agree with the vast majority of what you say.

A lot to be desired on our end.

However, sometimes the opponents have something to do with a Cuse loss.

I thought in this particular game that the critical difference was their goalie in the second half. I thought he absolutely took over the game with multiple amazing stops. We also had bad luck one time when we did beat him, but hit the post.

I thought the officiating was atrocious.

They need to institute the football rule, where a game can't end on a penalty. We should have got the ball and our 30 second opportunity to tie with the game only ending at the end of the penalty time.

We have had our problems all season with face offs and goal-tending, but not today. Those issues aside, I think our biggest flaw this season was that we could not seem to execute the tight interior passes to set ourselves up for the doorstep shots. We always seemed to be scoring from ten feet or more outside whereas how many time did they score from within five feet in. Yes, i know our D breaks down, but i am talking about the o end of the field where our execution is lacking.

Overall, it is easy to blame the staff. Not saying they can't improve, but the truth is that this team just did not have enough talent. If you want to lay bad recruiting on the staff that is fair enough, but this was not a FF team any way you slice it.
