Firenze Red Lions 8 - 30 Paris Lights
Two teams making their debut in the AFLE as clubs. How did they perform in the opening act?
Offensive Performance -2*
Paris hit some form in the second half.
Both offensive lines looked pitiful.
The run game for both teams struggled.
The Red Lions' passing game was awful.
3 muffed punts and a missed field goal in just the first half.
Defensive Performance - 1.5*
Everyone knows I enjoy watching Davidson Larochel play football.
Good penetration from the DL.
Red Lions can not tackle AT ALL.
Ref Performance - 2*
DPI call in the 3rd was very weak.
Glad they did not call a fumble at the end of the 2nd.
A missed hold and maybe a few grounding calls missed.
A lot of flags that slowed the 4th QTR to a crawl.
Commentary (French) - 3*
"Ooooh, lalalala" I liked that.
Take this grade with a grain of salt because I'm going off vibes and moment reactions.
Big Moments/Game Drama - 2*
53 Yards from McKay on a lapse of concentration from Paris.
Great Pick by Collins.
The first half was still a one-score game.
Individual Performances - 2*
Hillock did solidly in his European debut.
I like Marque Collins a lot.
Wallace played well.
The Red Lions dropped this grade a lot because no one played well.
Ending - 2*
At least Paris started to look better in the passing game.
Firenze threw in the towel very quickly in the 3rd.
Overall Score - 2.07*
The Red Lions really pulled this down with their performance. Paris at least looks like a functional football team in the second half.
