The Berlin Fire Salamanders are 3-10 going into the end of our debut season. Over the last 3 games, we are just hoping to get some more wins on the stat sheet. As amazing as it would have been to be a playoff contender off the bat, we are in a more realistic position of vying for 1st overall pick in the next draft, with only the other new team, the New York Silverbacks, as our competition on that front. In terms of what we can do to improve, there's only so much. Sure, some holes on defense can be filled. But the main issue we seem to have is a dynamic offense. Sure, we have solid wideouts, stud tight ends, and some top tier backs. But the main issue lies in our inexperienced quarterback. Going into Week 14, Berlin is the worst team in terms of passing, in every metric besides completion percentage. As a tight end who prides himself on his skills as a receiver, this has been a frustrating process for Clark Boyd, albeit one that is full of pleasant surprises. But more are to come. This team is currently defined by its incredible potential. We are young, and all we need to do to improve our standing is wait. Next season, we'll be better and the season after that, even better. We very well may be contenders at that time. But, only time can tell what we can develop into. For now, its just a matter of finishing the season with our heads high.
