Portland Pythons are struggling, there is no other way to put it. Last not only in the Northern division but Portland is also among the worst teams in the whole DSFL. Record of 0-1-0 after one game does not leave much to the imagination, a lot more was expected after a strong pre-season. Portland won London and Kansas during the pre-season games, both of those games were solid performances. Portland was the better team, they almost dominated and deserved to win.

Between those two games, Portland also lost to Norfolk and Tijuana, but they were close games. Important to remember that Portland´s roster has gone through some changes, some players moved on and in return fresh faces joined the team, but even then especially concerning was the Norfolk game, Portlands only game so far in the regular season was against Norfolk, but unlike the pre-season game, it was not a close game. Portland was simply not good enough and Norfolk took the win.

Tough to say if there are one or two reasons behind Portland's abysmal run so far, as mentioned pre-season games showed a lot of promise when taking the roster movements into consideration but also in general, Portland is a top team with top players. Perhaps its all mental, lets hope Portland is able to bounce back and start winning soon.
