Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 3108393, member: 626"] It wasn’t THAT we lost, it was HOW we lost. No one expected this much ineptitude, although in hindsight it shouldn’t be a big surprise. New QB, revamped OL, inexperienced wrs, etc. One of my personal metrics at the beginning of every b-ball season, is the margin of victory over cupcakes in OOC play. If we blow out those teams by 30+ pts, I’m pretty confident that we’ll have a good season. If games are close, I’ve found we tended to struggle. So a close loss at UMD or to the defending natl champs, wouldn’t have me as concerned as two consecutive blowouts, where we’ve looked lost in almost every facet of the game. Yesterday the defense played well, mistakes on offense doomed us. Yet at UMD it was the opposite & the defense never showed up. Yes I’m concerned, not for being 1-2, but because I’ve no idea what kind of team this is. [/QUOTE]
