In one of the most lopsided losses of my football career, we were defeated by our Serbian opponents on Sunday afternoon, 51-7. This loss left us out of the race to win the EFAF cup, and now we can only chase a Swiss championship. We were shorthanded with injuries both before and during the game, but that was still no excuse for the game that was played on Sunday. We were dominated the whole game, and defeated by a very good team, though I thought we should have played closer with them. Offensively we moved the ball decently well, but made mistakes at bad points of key drives, causing us to score only 7 points. There is much to improve on offensively. We will obviously need to score many more points if we want to get back to our winning ways of the previous two weeks. We can only do our statistics based on the film that we have of the game, and unfortunately a couple of drives were cut out of the game, but the following are the offensive stats based on what we were able to see from film: (I can tell you that the film cut out 2 INT's that I threw, causing a bit of a rough passing day for me personally. I will need to improve to help our team get back to winning).
This coming Sunday we travel to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, to face a team that is 2-1 in our league. We are 2-1 overall (2-0 in league play). This will be an important game for our team as we try to get back on track and continue working towards winning a Swiss championship.
I apologize for the short post, but I must complete my German homework before we have our lesson today (sometimes it sounds like I'm throwing up when I try to speak this language). I hope all is well back at home, and check back next week when I will have an update of our game against the Bern Grizzlies.
Go Blue Devils/Boys!
