We just woke up to one of the worst news we ever had, our veteran star Boogie Barker has decided to put a stop to his carreer with only 31 years.
He had an amazing carreer but unfortunately we coundn't give him a championship ring.

He retired with this stats:
6 seasons played with a total of 6055 rushing yards, 17 rushing TD, 2914 receiving yards and 9 receiving TD. He also helped in the Special Teams stats, with 3416 returning yards and 4 returned TD.

Our star is gone, we will always remember Boogie, our MVP!

Fly Boogie fly! Fly Macaws Fly!

He is a first ballot hall of famer 100

What an awfull season for the Havana Macaws.

Both veteran QBs had a QB rating bellow 59.00. Is Greg Roy's time up in Havana?
The QBs were sacked 47 times combined, incredible numbers when you look at the prime OL Havana has. Albert Sneed and Frank Armani had 12 Sacks allowed each, unvelievable.
The team scored only 5 TD in the hole season, being the worst scorer of the league with only 79 points.
Boogie Barker retirement had an inmediate impact, as the new RB1 (Logan) only rushed for +500 yards and 1 TD.
The receiving side was not that bad in yards but it had almost no impact in the scoring factor, no WR had more than 450 yards, and only 3 TDs were scored by receivers.

MLB Marcell Gallant had an excelent season with 134 Tackles (Top 2 in league), 18 Knockdowns, 1 Sack and 2 Interceptions. And 4th year LDE Gabriel Market had 43 Tackles, 7 Sacks and 5 Hurries.
Even though the defense had this top performances, the team could not stop anyone, we received the 2nd most points in the league with 336 against.

We had a new team of coaches and some players traded to add some energy to this team and try to get into playoffs for the first time during this GM ar command, but none of it was enought. Macaws had their worst season record ever with only 1 win in week 1. The devacle was total, but we are confident we can turn this boat arround and get Macaws to the place the team deserves.
We'll try to be more agressive this offseason and get the most benefict from the Draft position we gonna have in order to forget 2075 season as fast as we can.

From the ashes we rose.

Fly Macaws, Fly!

After a regular season where the team showed category at one game and absolute nothing on the following one (like a 0-11 loss), Rookie QB Z. Álvarez managed to lead the team to playoffs for the 6th time (5th under this management) in a tough win against a great playoff team like the Buenos Aires Gauchos.
In the streets of Havana nobody knows how long the playoffs run is gonna last, but they are celebrating because their rookie QB took them to the Pretenders vs. Contenders week. Maybe the TD/INT rate was not the best, but boy, this man knows how to gain yards. He ended up 4th in total yards.

Honorable mention to veteran RB J. Chamberlin, who scored 5 TD and gained 854 yard only by kick returns, an absolute beast in this area. Another player that stood tall in his first season in Cuban territory was CB F. King, who made 95 tackles, got 4 TD and took 2 of those INT home in order to get 6 points.

Macaws are an aging team, with veterans all over their lines, but maybe young blood in his QB or his star WR can help them to win a game in this playoff run, only time will tell.

Fly Macaws, Fly!

Unfortunately 2086 season ended with the Macaws being eliminated in the Playoffs against Vancouver Trident, but 2087 seems to bring lots of new faces to the Cuban city. Not only by Free Agency but also by draft.

Macaws Top 3 picks of this year Draft got better in trining camp, making the three of them possible starters in this team along the season.
From the 10 picks Macaws had this season, 5 have secured a spot in the roster and 2 have to earn it in pre-season games. Unfortunately there are 3 players that were not up the expectations and are going to be let go.

The OL got better and the receiver group got stronger, QB Zapata Alvarez got the weapons, we´ll see if he can take this team to playoffs back to back for the second time in franchise history.

On papers, it seems as one of the best drafts i had as Macaws GM, only time will tell if they will impact into results.

Fly Macaws, Fly!
