(S6) - PT4 - Frustrations

[DeathOnReddit]

Some of the frustrations I have had this season are with the team and myself. Ill start with myself first, and Im just tilted that for 10 straight weeks I had 0 sacks. I watched as other D linemen, Linebackers, and even fucking DBs got sacks before I did. It was so tilting because I thought my stats were pretty okay but then it turns out that they arent good enough and I suck. Its sucks and I wish I had a lot more sacks. Im sure next year Ill do a lot better, and hopefully I get double digit sacks for the season. But if I had more sacks this season, who knows maybe we win 2 games that were close instead of losing, and we would be in a playoff spot. Speaking of close losses, the team is so inconsistent. Sometimes they play like the Outlaws of the past and sometimes they play like straight garbage, and cant do anything. If we could just be consistent, then we would be able to 2-0 teams like the wraiths, and maybe even be able to beat the otters and liberty away. If we lose 1 game these next 3 weeks our playoff hopes are basically fucked.

Written: Must include 200 words. The season isn't going as planned, whether it's struggling teams, struggling players, or just the locker room falling apart, multiple teams are facing tough situations. Write about one of these situations, it does not have to be about your team, it can be on whatever topic that is NSFL related.

I mean anyone who follows me on twitter, reads what I say in discord or has had a gander at my season stats, probably knows pretty well or has a decent idea of what is frustrating and pissing me the fuck off this season.

It's getting fucked over by the shite sim engine we have in this league. Being a player who has maxed out all of his core attributes and is now working on endurance should not be playing like a drunk drugged up legless flamingo. Yet I have missed a great deal of extra points and field goals this season. I even had two chances to set legit records in the league. I missed a fucking 64 yarder and an the worse one of all was a missed 65 yard kick which would have solidfied me being the first player in league history to hit the maxium field goal distance. But no, the asshat of a sim engien decided to fuck me over again, because it clearly has not fuckin done that enough yet throughout my career.

I finally made the switch from a power kicker to an accuracy kicker and the improvement has been significant. With having only missed 1 kick in four games in comparison to missing atleast 1 kick a week back when I was a power kicker. It might be a bit late in the season to salvage a wankass shite statline, but atleast I know that in the seasons to come I have alot to look forward to (hopefully).

Fuck the sim engine

While the Pythons themselves have had a good season overall, it seems, my own debut did not go according to the script. Rather than a talented defensive end turning in a dominant performance to set the tone for the remainder of the DSFL season, I came out with rather pedestrian output and, worse, a number in the right column. While I plan to remedy this, of course, and bounce back as soon as possible, losing this one stung a bit, especially after seeing that the Pythons had an impressive 7-3 mark on the season beforehand. While allowing sixteen points, defensively, certainly is not a shame in and of itself, it stings to know that the team was, perhaps, one big play away from coming out with a win in this one, and I failed to deliver that big play, resulting in only one forced turnover, and myself being nothing more than a side note in this first appearance.

Our matchup with the Coyotes in our next outing is a big one, however. We both sit at 7-4, so taking them down there would put us in first place in our conference, which would be huge at this stage of the season with only three more games, total, in the DSFL's regular season slate.

i had a frustrating last 2 games on the coyotes. we were riding a 6 game win streak but then we lost two straight including one to the pitiful luchadores. yikes.

not to mention i performed pretty horribly during those games. i had a 3/1 TD/INt ratio earlier this season and now i've ruined it. i have as many tds as picks and i have thrown 7 interceptions in the last two games. especially one particularly bad pick. I had miller wide open down the seam, tossed a rainbow, and then something that NEVER happens hapened. Miller let the db get the jump on him. this guy just put a leg in the ground and vaulted into the air and pick off my pass and after that i was pretty triggered because that's nto supposed to happen. and there was another time when i tossed a checkdown to Hans and that got picked off. that was not fun - it wasnt a bad read or a bad throw.. just a good defensive play I guess.

it's really frustrating to suddenly get a ton worse when you've been playing so well. i was feeling so confident at the helm for the first time in my career. now i have to play more cautious and i might even get benched for vincent draxel - at least thats the word on the streets.

Frustrations do not come up a lot in Orange County these days. If this were years ago, there would be a cornucopia of frustrations with the team, but now it appears any complaints would be seen as grasping at straws. There is of course one frustration growing on the team this year: father time. Is it possible that the Otters dynasty can continue on for the next 5-6 years? Or are we witnessing the collapse of the Otter-Man Empire? (heh) There has been some frustration amongst team members over the dedication of QB Mike Boss. Boss, who of course has had a roller-coaster of a career, seems to finally be playing well enough to be trusted by the fan base. Boss has slowed down a bit from a couple of years ago, and some teammates are wondering if the age factor will be more significant for their QB than for everyone else. Orange County has a talented team with great players at the skill positions, but if Boss finds a way to revert back to his old-self, the team will be in trouble. This frustration has caused the team to begin looking into replacement options for their not always dependable QB. Will Boss step up his game? Or will the frustrations drive him to finding a new home?

It’s been a tough year. I was ranked the number one safety in all of Canadian University football, and very big things were expected of me. I think I might have let it get to my head, because I made key mistakes in losses to McGill, University of Toronto and finally against our local rivals, Carleton University.

I’m not proud of what followed. During our post-game film session, my ego couldn’t handle the amount of deserved criticism I was getting for my blunders against Carleton. An arm-tackle, a deflected pass that should’ve been a game changing interception, a misdiagnosed play, all these made my face burn with embarrassment.

Finally, I snapped. I started giving coach a piece of my mind, like he was trying to make me look bad, when I was the only one who did that. He let me know exactly what he thought of my attitude. The temperature just kept rising and if my teammates hadn’t intervened, I know I would’ve struck him.

I received a call from the athletic director before our next practice. He explained that he had discussed the situation with my coaches, and he had decided that I needed to be removed from the team. That’s why I’m here.

Well we are 7 and 4 and tied with the Kansas City Coyotes for first in the NFC. Now normally that wouldn't be a bad thing, but it hasn't been a lovely season to say the least. The most frustrating thing this season has been the losses even though we have 4. I tell ya, it hasn't been easy to watch us lose especially to those darn Palm Beach Solar Bear bots. I still think those darn bots are too strong for their own good! Well we managed to beat them good at home twice this season and they got us good too in Palm Beach. Those games got me hotter than hades I tell ya! I been talkin' to the Pythons from last season and I can tell you they were mad about that team too. The most frustratin' game was against Tijuana when we played them and got ourselves in a pickle every time we touched the ball. I still think those referees were corrupt and paid off because we had 10 penalties! But we're fixin' to finish this season strong though. We got ourselves 2 more home games and one more road game against San Antonio and I think we can finish with 10 wins.

He isn’t even coming close to what his tackles were last season either. He only has 29 as of now.

100 accuracy. Turkleton has 100 fucking accuracy. And yet he still missed an extra point versus the Otters last week. It’s fucking insane. Cornerbacks: you have it bad. But fucking shit I swear to heck kicker stats mean almost nothing. And some kicking decisions in games are fucking baffling. New rookie kicker? Let him try a 57 yarder! 3rd season kicker (me) with 90 power and max (95) accuracy? Literally never fucking try a 57 yarder ever. Oh, and ole Turkleton, back when he was a power kicker with maxed kicking stats..? If you think he didn’t PUNT many many times from between the 30 and 40, you’re mistaken. Draft Day Sports: Pro Football is a hecking joke when it comes to kicking. It’s just rediculous. Also punting. Punt averages actually... make SOME okay sense at season end. But the punts themself are crazy. Punters don’t just alternate between 30s and 70s multiple times in a game. Plus 70s happen way too fuckin often. In the 2017 NFL season, 3 seasons had a longest punt of over 70 yards (and 2 teams had 70 as their long).

And back to an earlier point, what the fuck in general when it comes to extra points. I’m 100% on field goals so far this season but 92.6% on extra points. What the fuck, my dudes.

Look, in real life, I LOVE special teams. And I LOVE the NSFL. But the NSFL special teams - because of DDSF - fucking sucks. No, I’m not gonna recreate or any shit like that, but to any random person about to make a player here who is reading this PT for some reason: if you make a kicker, prepare to see some stupid shit.

Literally the only nice thing is that even though regression times are the same for everyone (including kickers), at least since stats don’t matter I can be good (or terrible) all the way till my forced retirement!
