Week 7: Chesapeake (5-1) at Portland (3-2)
We have our Portland rematch pretty early this season, and we’ll hope to get a road win this week to likely put them out of the division race. Portland remains a talented team, their top QB is healthy (not a given for them), and they are a very solid club. If we win at their place, we go up two games in the loss column, plus we will hold the tiebreaker – we’d need to collapse to let them back into the division race. If they hold serve here, then we’re basically even, along with Dodge City. So, bluster aside – a pretty big game.
I think we ought to be able to move the ball on them – we did rack up 34 points in the opener against these guys – but with our somewhat shaky defensive stats this season, we can’t take them for granted. Hopefully we will click enough on offense to render any defensive struggles moot.

Well, that’s pretty much what we would have ordered up, honestly – nothing too special from the offense, but we ran the ball well, and served up two long scoring drives on our first two possessions to force them to play uphill the whole game. The line, once again, is outstanding – 17 key run blocks makes for a nice day for whomever is toting the rock.
I am not pleased with our defense, and now we will be without DE Lazaro for a while. He hasn’t been posting much in terms of numbers, not he’ll be replaced with a scattershot of rookies, and I don’t expect too much there. We’ll see how things go up front for now.
