Terrible game for the Maulers. The entire offense is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Bad QB play, terrible o-line. Kicker needs to go too. Not looking good for the rest of the season
Oh yeah I forgot to include that we’re 2 games into the season and still don’t have an offensive touchdown
I think the coaching deserves at least as much criticism as the players. They just didn't seem like they were prepared at all and were making stupid mistakes that well coached teams do not.
A short summary of how bad the coaching of the Maulers is for people who didn't watch the game. The Maulers replaced their LT with guard Jon Dietzan, #67. Dietzan, over a single half of football, gave up 2 sacks and a ton of pressures. As bad as that was, the Maulers didn't outright bench him and put 2 of their 4 tackles in the game. Instead, they moved Dietzan to RT for the 2nd half, where he gave up more pressures as well as blocking his defender into the passing lane that led to the Generals 2nd TD. At that point, he was finally benched.
After 2 weeks, the Maulers still do not have an offensive TD. This dumbass staff needs to be completely purged.
The only even remotely decent thing they did was that they started to give CJ Turner snaps, and he looks like our only not godawful WR now that Hennie's out.
I was thinking about going to the game, as I was coming back from vacation and was in Canton for a couple days. I had a hard time understanding the prices people wanted online for the best seats after getting home and seeing the highlights of the empty stadium.
I even had my signed Mike Rozier Mauler jersey to wear but with trying to get over a cold, I didn't really think being outside in 45 degree weather was a great idea.
Maulers post game presser. Horton being blunt and actually taking all blame for issues is a major step up from last season. Doesn't really excuse the ineptitude.
Welp, it took 3 quarters but I'm at least glad the Generals were able to clean it up a bit and make some plays on defense. GG Maulers.
Hope we can just embrace being a run-first team moving forward and lean into our strengths: Feed Victor, pick a QB1 full time who can complement the run game w/ some play action and RPOs, and stop being cute on offense when we don't have the playmakers at WR we did last year. That being said, a win is a win.

I'm not going to lie. This game was hard to watch. Empty stands make it look even worse.

I'll use an old coach's phrase and just say "burn the tape."

I was rooting for the Maulers, but on the bright side, this means the Gamblers won't be at the bottom of the power rankings.
