General Manager Notes: And then the wheels start falling off
One win, two losses.
And a potential career destroying injury.

That's what we had to face in the last three weeks. RT Howard Humphrey will, most likely, be out for the remainder of this season. That's a monumental blow to our running game, and to his knee. Get well soon.

We lost 27-20 at home against Rochester, beat Toronto 20-13 in our place and today had a 31-9 meltdown in Paris. The latter also meant we lost the division lead on head-to-head tie-breakers.

Division:
1. Paris 5-2
2. Maassluis 5-2
3. Gothenburg 3-5
4. Bordeaux 2-5

I'm puzzled about our sudden meltdown. It wasn't just in Paris today, but our running game was missing in action against Toronto as well. Before these three games, I was hopeful we'd finally put down a longer stretch, but Moe Sheldon throwing 4 picks, it just didn't make sense. It is what it is. Maybe it's better to see him throw them all in one single game? We'll continue our season with a typical trap game at the Harlem Apollos (1-6), hopefully we can regroup, but losing our main run blocker is going to be a huge problem in our smashmouth offense. At the same time, we basically have the personnel to throw it a lot, why not try that approach?

We'll see. One game at a time. Harlem up next. Please team, don't do what we've done before: piss away our season against a team that is struggling.
