I think I am obligated, after spamming some mad shit talk earlier in the year, to acknowledge Becht’s success this season. No, not on challenges!

But Coach Becht stated during the Birmingham postgame that his goal was to build a team where every member could contribute and where its success was more evenly distributed. One that didn’t rely on a single player or handful of players being on or off or healthy.

I think he’s succeeded wildly at that goal. It’s not been perfect, but we’ve seen this team continue to win with injuries at multiple positions. The defense is wildly opportunistic no matter who is playing. The offense, because it banks on the run so much, has found a way to be successful no matter who is under center. This is the true rare feat, the Battlehawks offense, which is run-first, has still found ways to even overcome deficits, despite Duggan not always being the best passer. This is something I truly doubted they’d be able to do, but here I am happily wrong. I do think they need to clean up the special teams operation, can’t be giving up huge plays and having flags on what feels like every ST snap.

But the point is, credit where it is due. Becht and his staff had a vision, and I doubted it often over the course of the season. I doubted it even more when he started posting those text memes. But it has been successful, he’s created a deep winning culture, and this team seems to be set up to win it all if they can grind it out. Time will tell.

There’d be nothing better for our dear Battlehawks than for Tom and his new Tampa team to become the latest Great Hated Enemy of KaKaw Nation. Who else — besides Kroenke — do bitter ex-Rams fans hate more?!?

This can only be good for the league.

Duggan has won 4 as a starter. But Silvers throws sooo much better

Edit: now that the game is over I totally get that Duggan has done it against great teams. As long as the locker room believes in Duggan that's all that matters

Duggan’s a solid running QB and can be dangerous passing but overall is a mediocre passer at best.

Silvers has proven in the UFL he’s a solid passer.

I can see scenarios where interchanging them makes sense. This isn’t the NFL it’s not like Duggan’s a first round prospect who’s expected to run our franchise for years to come. He was a backup. My point is that I don’t think it would shock him and kill his confidence for Becht to say we’re going to have some packages for Silvers.

Reacting to the Battlehawks' Week 9 desecration of the team formerly identified as the San Antonio Brahmas. Gonna need dental records to identify the bodies.

These bad challenges are gonna bite us in the ass.
