Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
The playoffs were great once again in this sixth season of the NSFL. A quick recap:
The Liberty hosted the Wraiths in the S6 NSFC Championship Game. The first time the Liberty have hosted a playoff game in their career, and the second time the Wraiths have been on the road for the NSFC Championship Game. It was almost a second half comeback as the Wraiths outscored the Liberty 21-14 in the second half. Ahhhh who am I kidding, the Wraiths were down by 17 at the end of the first half and it really wasn't that close. Josh Garden paced the field with a great four catches for 113 yards, and Rove had the dagger to start the second half with a 59 yard interception return for a touchdown. The Liberty won 31-21.
In the ASFC the Otters dynasty hosted the Sabercats on their first ever playoff berth. Congratulations to the SaberCats, great job. The Otters wouldn't be denied though as they played with grit and passion. Their world-class defense didn't show up, and neither did the cannon arm of Mike Boss, but the whole team did just enough to win. Jordan Yates, verifiable Alvin Kamara clone showed up in a big way with six catches for 158 yards, even Mike Boss ran in a touchdown. It was really a full team effort for the Otters to win 32-29.
The Ultimus, Otters have been here three times now, and the Liberty have their first berth. It was the ultimate showdown, a truly great matchup. The Ultimus finally had its game after six seasons of trying. Both teams played some great defense with enough offense to keep it exciting. The Otters defense only allowed two scores to the Liberty, however, their special teams did let in a kick return touchdown. THe Liberty defense bent but didn't break as they allowed five scores, with three of those being field goals from close range. The strong play from the Liberty wasn't enough to stop the Otters dynasty, as a last second drop by Joh Garden in the end zone halted the dream. The Otters won 23-17.
Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
My choice is going to be a little controversial as I am not really picking any one guy, but my choice for MVP is the entire Otters defense. They really played an extremely strong game from start to finish.
They only allowed two offensive touchdowns and forced the Liberty to punt an incredible ten times, to go along with the ten first downs given up as opposed to the twenty their own offense got. Harris definitely earned his paycheck this game. They also clamped down when needed, holding the offense to only 2/14 on third down. That is an incredible 14% conversion rate, well below league average. The defense also did not commit a single penalty against them. Safe, lockdown D was the name of the game for the Otters and I can't blame them as they showed out.
Now this isn't to say the Otters were completely safe. They had some splash plays as the sack machine was in high gear, going for six sacks against Tyler Oles, and one pass deflection. They also stuffed the Liberty on their one fourth down attempt.
The Otters defense is my definite Ultimus MVP. Controlled ferocity was the name of the game for the boys in orange.
Sit-down with a star:Interview a player from a team that is not your own that is in the playoffs. You must ask them four questions and at least three must relate to the league in some way. YOU MUST POST THE QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS FOR CREDIT. (Can be completed at any point)
I interviewed @`To12143`
1. The switch to QB this year caused some controversy around the league with younger players fighting for a spot. Can you talk to that?
I understand that a lot of people, especially those on poorly performing teams, were frustrated with that move, but a lot of people seem to have focused on just 1 facet of it, when our goal was to make our team better and playoff ready. Many who opposed it wanted us to have to go into a rebuild because we determined Rove wasn’t the answer, and we felt that was the wrong direction to go in. I get the young players are fighting for spots but with how close we are blowing it all up would have been the wrong decision.
2. How did it feel to finally host your first playoff game this season?
It was great, it’s hard to travel in this league so having the home playoff game really pumped us up. We felt like we could win and use that momentum to shock the world in the championship, it was a huge confidence boost and it really cemented our best season as a team. Being able to at least cap the season off with our first NSFC Championship on our turf was a great feeling.
3. Who would you rather catch your ball, One 100 Hands Josh Garden or 100 One Hands Josh Garden?
Uh, 100 One hands Garden. There would be so many of them on the field that they can combine to catch the ball and it would be hard to stop.
4. Who has the best seafood, Maryland or New Orleans?
As someone born in Baltimore I’m sure you knew the answer when asked. Maryland Crab Cakes, and Blue Crabs in general are better than most things. I’ll take some sort of Maryland Crab concoction over anything else.
