This season has been quite rough on the Philadelphia Liberty locker room. At this point it doesn't matter if we lose to our biggest rival, every loss by one score hurts the same. After the loss, morale is low, no one really feels like talking. In a 2 point loss to Austin, who at the time of writing this is 10-3, Philadelphia had 11(!) penalties to Austin's 3, and still only lost by 2. The next week a 3 point loss to Honolulu, where they had just 16 yards of rushing offense. And then the next week, a 3 point loss to Sarasota that involved multiple missed field goals including one from inside the 40. Fencik had not missed from inside the 40 his entire career until this point (I think). This game once again had lopsided penalties with 15(!!) against Philly, while Sarasota had just 2. The next week, another three point loss, this time to Yellowknife. Then a 7 point loss to New York with lopsided penalties once again. And finally a 2 point loss to Chicago. After each loss we somehow find a way to pick ourselves back up though. We lost by one score, but we had a wild handicap in most of them, and other sim magic.
