So, What Does It All Mean? ... There’s no sugarcoating how bad the Launch's loss was to Dutch Harbor. With expectations soaring for the Launch, New York was lethargic and sloppy after the first half, raising the temperature for beleaguered head coach Trendon. All of the concerns about the overworked defensive front came to life for four quarters as Dutch Harbor moved up and down the field at will. The passing game also disappeared in the second half. All of this in a pivotal season for the franchise and the coaching staff, but all is not lost. It's only Week one, but New York has to be impressive next week against Cleveland or the overall attitude could go in the tank.
