The first seven games certainly hasn't gone how the Portland Pythons wanted it to go with a less than ideal 1-6 record to show for their effort. This Portland team has one glaring issue as they have the worst scoring defense in the DSFL by giving up 242 points where none of the other teams have even given up 200 points. This team certainly needs to have a change in defensive philosophy because they have the type of players that can make plays but they need to start playing more consistently if they have any hope in turning this team and season around. While the defense is partly to blame, the offense hasn't been much better either as they are second last in points scored in the DSFL. Neither side of the ball is truly helping the other which has the negative effects seen on the Portland record. These Portland players just need to continue to grow and become better players in order to be successful players in the ISFL, so while this season may have written off the Pythons, there is always next season.
