Now that Nashville aren’t undefeated anymore, I can finally dish out some honest criticism: Even when they were undefeated, they weren’t playing well. It’s remarkable they stayed out of the loss column for so long and while they deserve credit for that, there are problems with this group that weren’t there at the end of the 2020 season. Mainly, opposing teams are finding that scoring requires a little less compared to the extra effort it took against last year’s group.
Nashville hoped they’d build on the performance of last year’s team. However, they’re getting similar results in less impressive ways. It’s been a weirdly disappointing start.
