1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR
This year has been a great experience for our team as we're about to embark on our first playoff appearance since the new core has been put together, but I still think we're a year too early. I think we're still a bit too run heavy, but we've got the guys in place as long as we grow together. I think next season could definitely be the year. I think next season we'll have Falconi worked out to a good spot where she can be extremely successful through the air and see less of these growing pains that she had this last season. Towards the end she really picked things up and had a couple 4 touchdown games. With Carter Bush still around and hopefully von Matt growing into one of the league's top receivers that aspect of the game will be able to be on display a bit more and take a bit of pressure off of Marquise Brown who currently is on a pace rushing that has never been seen before. Of course that would probably be good for him as he doesn't need to be run in the ground. Add in some of our DSFL guys from this past season and I think you'll see an explosive team ready for the spotlight.
2) SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUTH
I think that this year's Ultimas will somehow be won by the San Jose Sabercats, not something a lot of people saw before the year began. With that being said I think that they have quite a few players who could make a huge impact on the game that are S10 or newer, but I think the game will come down to the legs of Jarrod Canton. Canton plays well above his level and I think quite possibly he's just too young to actually realize that. Nevertheless I think Joliet L. Christ is still a bit too young and too prone to making mistakes to actually take the lead in this one and so therefore I think Canton will need to be the bell cow and have extreme success in order for the Sabercats to overtake the Baltimore Hawks and win the Ultimas. Looking back on the year he had, Canton was the NSFL's 2nd leading rusher at 1352 yards, however, he really didn't reach the endzone as much as you would have liked. Canton also didn't really catch the ball much and when he did he really didn't go anywhere so he can't be counted on there. Still despite his deficiencies, I still think he'll be the motor that runs the team and leads to their ultimate success
3) PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME
The Philadelphia Liberty vs Baltimore Hawks conference championship game will be the third meeting between these teams this year in what some say is one of the most heated pairings in all of the NSFL (mostly due to a select few members from each team that like to go back and forth saying the same stuff to each other each time). The first two games weren't particularly close as the Hawks basically curbstomped the Liberty outscoring them 108-35. Hopefully for those at home and in the stands Philadelphia will make this more of a contest. The intriguing thing I think for this game is how the Liberty have evolved as the year went on, while the Hawks have been a well oiled machine from the get go and despite hitting more bumps in the road than most had expected, still showed how dominate they can be. The Liberty saw strides from Falconi and then making a bold decision to move fullback Achilles Hondo to cornerback, saw some improvement from their defense. Also let's not forget the emergence of Rico Flores who came out of nowhere part way through the season to become NSFL's 7th leading rusher. All in all it will still take a herculean effort from the Liberty, but given their improvements They may actually make this one a game.
4) QUARTERBACK MATCHUP
So for these playoffs I don't think any of the quarterback matchups are particularly interesting, but if I had to choose I would say that the matchup between Joliet L. Christ and Gus T.T. Showbiz would be the most interesting. I mean straight away you can see that they mimic each other just in their own names as they're the only two quarterbacks in the NSFL to display their middle initials as part of their name. Then we can dive into the players themselves. From the outside it may look like Showbiz is just way better than Christ and he's definitely got a bigger following, however, that's merely if you're only looking at the passing yards. I mean I get it, the passing yards are the more sexy stat and the one the girls dig and then you add on the fact that Showbiz has more touchdowns than Christ you figure he's got a massive dong and that Christ is just too pure to do anything that showboaty. Don't let that from digging deeper though. Both ended up having pretty much the same quarterback rating and both were absolute shit hitting their targets, having two of the worst completion percentages in the entire league (along with McCormick). I think this is the one game where quarterback play will be the deciding factor and the thing that wins the team the game
