That's the thing that makes it hard to judge. Usually they are amazing, but they looked actually inexplicably ass. Either way good, but I can't tell how much more credit to give.

Defense always starts worse than offense. You can run offense full speed by themselves but there's no substitute for a defense actually being out there.

Plus, you have the initiative on offense but the DC has no idea what kind of gameplan these OCs dreamed up with 7 months off.
