The D.C. Armor's inaugural indoor football season closed Saturday in the same way it began, with an embarrassing loss. The Armor was humiliated at the Baltimore Mariners, 70-22, to end 2009 AIFA season play with a 4-10 record.
At least the Armor did not have to suffer the indignity of a moribund home crowd, instead falling behind by a ridiculous 32-2 halftime mark before a base of Baltimore supporters at 1st Mariner Arena. The Armor's offense scored nothing in the first half but gave up two Baltimore touchdowns off interception returns.
While D.C. held even with Baltimore in the third quarter, the fourth quarter quickly fell out of hand again with the Armor closing out play giving up two more touchdowns (of a total four) on interception returns. (Stats courtesy TheStatGuys.com)
After a season of few wins and seemingly fewer fans, what's left for D.C. Armor Corey Barnette this offseason is a series of hard decisions on whether to continue Armor operations and if so, how to generate D.C. area interest in that indoor football product. For the time being, that interest just isn't there.
