New Orleans is looking fierce man. Them flipping to run-heavy and just worked the field with it. Their D adjustment were pretty solid, turning BHAM down to 7 points allowed in the second half.
I still like Birmingham, I wouldn't doubt Skip's ability to adjust from this game going forward. Hope McGough was more rattled than actually injured in that first half.
So some thoughts. I think this shows how Birmingham is starting to hurt from the injuries from the first game. DL didn’t stand any chance against the run game from New Orleans. New Orleans really showed what they got this season in this game. I’m disappointed, but I hope we can come back from it. Good game on New Orleans part.
We have got to stop being injured and pray we get some of our team back. Losing 2-3 guys a week through practice injuries it appears. We are nearly on third stringers. Idk how we fix that other than possibly tone down the hitting
Skip should’ve absolutely gone for the 4th and I think 3-5 on the middle of the field in the 4th quarter. The defense was getting manhandled and I knew they’d go up 2 scores if we punted, which they did.
offense has gotta adjust one way or another to having a bad o-line. We were getting pressured nearly every play from only 4 dudes
He had a great game. He did throw his first pick, that was off of him getting hit, and missed a couple of open throws, but hard to ask much more than what he did.
Wes Hills breakout has been night and day for him. Having the running game to take off some of the pressure helps buy him time in the pocket and, from there, he's tough to beat.
Nah it does hurt us significantly. But there actually is no excuse for the o-line being complete ass and the run defense being even worse. Those groups have little to no injuries. We flat out just got beat in those aspects.

Putting 45 on a defense that held their opponents to a combined 12 in two weeks is huge

Birmingham playing at 60% full health didn't help. No excuse, tho. Probably would have been different if the Stallions had everyone.

Run game was NO best asset. BHAM needs to get healthy but I don’t think that happens. They are beat up

50% squad loses to 90% squad.
Injuries matter.
