Heard that pretty often but latest game showed me again that this is at least not always the case. 13 rushes and more than 40 passes and the team was always leading until the last score of the game in the 3rd quarter.

Black Monday in Philly
The Revolution decided to part ways with HC Allen Varney https://uro.myfootballnow.com/coach/904. In 14 seasons he had a great record of 162-105-5 with multiple division titles and a surprising conference title last year. Still the ongoing season led to the decision to go into a new direction. Owner LuckyNumber__ said it was the toughest decision he had to make in his time in football as they started their journey in Philly together in 2084 and had a great relationship.

It was already decided that OC Ariel Munoz will take over as the new HC. It is his second station as HC after a 12 game interim HC run in Toyama in 2094.

Free Agency and 1st Draft Round Recap
A brief summary of what’s happened over the past few weeks in Philly. After a disappointing first week of free agency, the team was able to significantly bolster its roster during the second week. The team also managed to improve its depth while adding several starters to the roster. With first-round pick CB Benedict Scott from Florida, they were also able to land one of their top targets. Former Backfeld Coach Bryan Poe was also promoted to OC.

Training Camp 2098
Great camp in Philly. The Revolution got themselves 2 immediate starters on CB and a strong competition and a strong backup on RB. Also None of the veterans declined a lot.

Surprising DPoY vote distribution.

Belcher is a bit of a jerk and they love the rookie

Totally agree. But that is what AI made of the stats 😂.

Morale among fans and in the media in Philly is currently at an all-time low. After a very successful debut year for head coach Ariel Munoz, in which the team recorded the second-most rushing attempts per game, they currently rank last in that statistic—a fact reflected in their poor 2-6 record at the halfway point of the season. The pressure on the coach is mounting, much as it did for his predecessor, Allen Varney, before his dismissal.
