To say the least, this is the most disappointing season I've experienced. The media had a lot of expectations for us and so did our fanbase. We failed to meet those expectations. Our majestic finals run last night embodied the spirit of our fans. We promised to learn from that final loss and become better as a team. Once you have made the finals once, it's hard getting back there.
Our defense hasn't been good enough for a team that wants to be back to the position they were in last year. The Brigade has started its era of dominance this season. They are still undefeated. I believe they are the #1 contender to win the championship. The only team that can dethrone them is the Miami Neptune. Unfortunately, I think the Los Angeles Reign will be stopped in the second round. They don't have much playoff experience and can be inconsistent at times on the defensive end of the field.
It's not the first time an undefeated team has lost in the playoffs. But, the Wisconsin Brigade doesn't give chances to any team. When you do get the chance, you must take the opportunity full of confidence, poise, and determination.
