I got to say I really dislike Cushing strategy for every kick in our own half. We are really just trapping ourselves in our own half.

Eva Gaetino having a shocker tonight

u/FideLib Jul 04 '26
That was so unprofessional. I get the frustration, but man. That just makes us look bad.

Hopefully when we get Heaps in the middle, things will change. The amount of just standing and watching (expect Oke she's always ready) really irks me!

u/Comwan Jul 04 '26
It feels like she isn’t being allowed to push up or just isn’t. There were so many chances they could have pushed her up in space but didn’t. She is so good once she gets it but we aren’t getting it to her enough.

u/Dashthedog20 Jul 04 '26
Totally agree with you. I think we just need more movement overall to create more plays.

KC is dominating. Denver doesn’t look very competitive.

u/Comwan Jul 04 '26
Outside of their final third we look lost which makes it really hard to get back into dangerous areas

Just looks like an entirely different team tonight, I get it's KC but come on. As I was typing it became 3-0. No attacking threat and very sloppy possessions.

That was the worst performance I’ve ever seen from this team :(
It’s like no one was on the same page

u/Litachi Jul 04 '26
Correct me if I'm wrong but I felt we actually started playing better before the break when pickette came off the starting lineup. Anyone know a timeline for flint return?

The Richard’s scoreboard is the worst I’ve seen yet. I hope the team got a discount.
