The Arch to the Endzone

A Season of What-Ifs Ends in St. Louis

The Battlehawks’ season is over. Mike and Kylie react to St. Louis’ 29-20 playoff loss to Louisville at The Dome, the blown halftime lead, the second-half offensive stall, the explosive runs that crushed the defense, and the final red-zone interception that ended the year. They also look back at the season as a whole: the highs, the frustration, the quarterback questions, the offensive identity problem, and why falling one game short again is not good enough. Thanks to everyone who listened all season. Like and subscribe so you’re ready when The Arch to the Endzone returns next season. Ka-Kaw.

Week 10

The Battlehawks are playoff-bound, but the regular season ended with more questions than comfort. Mike and Kylie react to St. Louis’ 20-16 home loss to Dallas, a 7-sack night, three costly turnovers, red-zone failures, and an offense that still does not look playoff-ready. They also take on the uncomfortable quarterback question: was Harrison Frost actually better for this team, and did the move to Luis Perez really fix anything? The defense looks ready. The Dome will be ready. But is the Battlehawks offense ready for June 7? Ka-Kaw.

Week 9

The Battlehawks are officially playoff-bound. Mike and Kylie react to St. Louis’ 21-15 win over Houston, the defense delivering again, Hakeem Butler’s huge touchdown before halftime, Michael Ojemudia and Jordan Williams flipping the game with takeaways, and Luis Perez doing enough to get the Battlehawks across the finish line. At 6-3, St. Louis is in the postseason. But are the Battlehawks playoff-ready, or just playoff-bound? Then it’s a look ahead to the regular-season finale against Dallas at The Dome. Ka-Kaw.

Week 8

The Battlehawks had a chance to clinch a playoff spot at The Dome, but Houston had other plans. Mike and Kylie react to St. Louis’ 23-16 loss to the Gamblers, the end of the three-game winning streak, Luis Perez’s 300-yard day with two costly interceptions, red-zone issues, penalties, and a final drive that came up two yards short. Then it’s straight into rematch week as the Battlehawks head to Houston on May 24 with playoff positioning still on the line. Ka-Kaw.

Week 7

The Battlehawks are rolling. Mike and Kylie react to St. Louis’ 31-20 win over the Columbus Aviators, Luis Perez’s first start, Hakeem Butler getting involved, Kylin James finding the end zone twice, and another big night from the Battlehawks defense. At 5-2 with three straight wins, St. Louis is starting to look like a real threat. But was this just a strong first start from Perez, or did the Battlehawks offense actually find something new? Then it’s a look ahead to Houston coming to The Dome on May 16. Ka-Kaw.
