Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
Kansas City Coyotes def. Portland Pythons in NFC Playoffs
Well we had some good momentum comin' into this game, but the stars weren't aligned that night in Portland. Boy was I frustrated and after throwin' those 2 interceptions I couldn't bounce back. I went back to my early season self and just couldn't shake it off. We lost to the better team that day and I don't think our defense could have stopped Strike or Miller if we tried.
San Antonio Marshals def. Tijuana Luchadores in SFC Playoffs
I'm glad to see the Marshals make it to the playoffs this season and they had a good showin' against the Luchadores at home. This was an easy win for them and I think Applehort is more NSFL ready than me at this point. Ya'll saw how well he did!
San Antonio Marshals def. Kansas City Coyotes in Ultimini
I gotta admit I was rootin' for the Marshals in this one. Maybe it's my Texan blood or seeing the Marshal mascot ride across the field, but something in me took pride in seeing them on the field even though I wished it was me facin' them for the first time. Marshals showed off some of that grade A all american defense and beat the Coyotes easily at home. Hats off to ya @Roly and @run_CMC
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 Mr. Elvin Enchant
Questions
1) What was it like playing in the NSFL for your rookie year?
2) Did you think you'd win the Ultimus trophy as a rookie?
3) What makes the Otters such a dominant team in the NSFL?
4) What are you lookin' forward to next season?
Answers
1) I love it, it's so much fun. I've missed a little bit due to a tight schedule, but what I've been doing I'm glad I've done it. My teammates, coaches, and everyone is just so nice and it's a great community.
2) Yes and no, I think. For a long time, I was pretty sure I would get picked at #2 by the Yeti, and I was ready to be part of a re-build. I thought it would be a slow burn. But then they drafted someone else, and I fell to the Otters at 8. When that happened, I figured I had a really good chance at first of all, a great rookie season with all the talent surrounding me, but secondly, the trophy. Turned out that both happened.
3) They are a well built, well kept organization. The players are consistently good, high-quality starters, who are well managed. It's really hard to beat us, there's really no secret about it.
4) I've seen what our team is capable of at this point. Three championships in a row. I'm ready to see who our next rival is. Someone who can challenge us. I'm excited to see how the other teams stack up this year in their attempts to take us off the throne.
Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
Well I had a chance to watch the Ultimus game the day before the Ultimini was played and I gotta say it was mighty impressive to see that level of competition. It got me all riled up for next season! I think the unsung hero of the playoffs was Clifford Rove of the Philadelphia Liberty. It ain't easy switchin' positions in the league and to go from a starting quarterback to cornerback is big Texas sized change to say the least. I do believe, deep down, Mr. Rove had to swallow a lot of pride to make that switch and let Tyler Oles take over the reins of the team after being 'the man' in Philadelphia since season 3. Rove got himself 4 pass deflections, 1 interception, and a pick six to seal the deal against the Wraiths and 2 pass deflections and another interception against the Otters which isn't an easy thing to do. He played with a lot of heart and I think he's got what it takes to be an elite cornerback next season since he still needs time to settle into his new role on defense. Rove is my pick for unsung hero at the end of this season!
Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game
The best play of the Ultimini championship was seeing one of the fastest men in the DSFL run for 80 yards! The score was 16-13 with San Antonio finally takin' the lead after an early fourth quarter touchdown by Mike Vick. Around the 4 minute mark, there seemed to be somethin' in the air that felt heavy like the fog in the early mornin'. I was watchin' it all from my apartment in Portland and it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. After a touchback punt by Kansas City, San Antonio passed the ball off to Willy Nyquist and he ran for 80 yards! 80 gosh darn yards! That man was duckin' and divin' between defenders and after it was all said and done he left them in the dust for a touchdown. Honestly that felt good to see and I was glad the Marshals were able to seal the deal with that run because the Coyotes couldn't do nothin' on offense after that play. It must have rattled them good! Nyquist finished with an offensive player of the game award from what I saw on the screen with 155 yards on 15 carries. Mighty impressive for a Marshal! Proud to say that as a Texan!
