Yep lost is the best way to look at it....

The defense is completely inept with out Besler. Collin and Bees have been my favorite players but the more I watch the more it's apparent that SKC can win without AC but not with Bees. Don't tell my husband but he's right, Collin's abs clouded my view. He's not that good. No way can I admit that. LOL.

It's not that the team is losing that is so shocking. It's how they are losing. Uncompetitive, uninspired, and unfocused. I think it's apparent some of the guys have checked out and last year I said this team would not win a championship with Peter Vermes in charge. I said this the day after the USOC. Got some serious flack but I think there have been some serious red flags that had been covered by winning. No more.

I think Robb's interview with Petro said some damning things about the lack of interest and motivation on the team. Not exactly a vote of confidence for the coach.

I also have stated that the poaching of our players would not sit well with new fans and how it will negatively impact the fans acceptance of the team and the league long term if SKC starts losing. Now we have that very possibility. If we don't turn things around and continue losing our best most popular players the wheels could fall off quite quickly.
