Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
The first game of the playoffs saw Orange County appearing in their 8th straight playoff appearance, a phenomenal accomplishment. Their streak, when it ends, will likely never be surpassed. However, their run of consecutive Ultimus appearances has ended, as the New Orleans Second Line won on a last second field goal by Peg Leg. Particularly noteworthy was Borkus Maximus dropping back to throw 61 times for 364 through the air. This would send New Orleans to their first Ultimus. Next up was a very odd win for the Yellowknife Wraiths over the Baltimore Hawks. Blocksdale had an amazing game, with 420 yards on only 50 attempts. Taylor rushed for 108 as well as the Hawks gained an impressive 536 yards, compared to only 388 for Yellowknife, who somehow managed 38 points. Finally, we got to see an Ultimus between New Orleans and Yellowknife, guaranteeing a new Ultimus champion would emerge. Surprisingly, both QBs passed for the same # of yards, but Akselsen hit that mark with 11 fewer attempts. The two games combined for only 6 sacks, as both QBs did a decent job of avoiding pressure. In the end, Yellowknife would go on to win a second straight two score game and their first Ultimus.
Hate the player or the game: Tell us which team made the playoffs and shouldn't have, or which team didn't and should have? (Can be completed at any point)
How does a team go from losing 32 straight games, which will hopefully remain a league record, to winning 6 of their last 12? The Colorado Yeti were not a great team by any chance, but the turnaround the managed this year was something I absolutely wanted to see in the playoffs. If one team got voted in by the fans, it would have been the Colorado Yeti. In Season 7, the Yeti scored an embarrassingly low 137 points, while giving up 501, the worst ratio in league history. Their defense was last in every category, their offense last in all but rushing. This year, their scoring jumped by 168%, and their points allowed dropped by 32%, an across the board performance. Not a single category was last in the league, with only 4 of the 8 even as low as seventh. In addition, their rushing yards allowed actually ranked in the top half of the league, an unthinkable performance after the previous year. With the almost triple efficiency from quarterback Ryan Applehort, plus the addition of Eli Kamaka on the interior, Colorado has shown that they were ready to compete on the big stage, and I really wanted to see them get the chance.
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) (Interviewed @OBESE's player Declan Harp)
1) Portland had seemed to many to be the top team in the conference. How do you think KC ended up getting the upper hand?
2) How do you feel about your chemistry with fellow rookie Gus Showbiz?
3) Which part of Tijuana's team scares you the most?
4) Which part of KC (not counting you) will need to step up the most to win it all?
1. Truth to be told I just think they made a lot of mistakes that hunted them. American football is a game that is based not only on skills like quick reaction but also on mental skills like quick decision making and I guess a lot of their decision making was bad and came back to bite them in the arse.
2. He's great! I mean I am not the player that has to have the best chemistry with him as others are catching ball more often and rushing those yards and my work includes some other things which is more him trusting I will do my job. We haven't had any issues and I can only say that he's a great QB and Im glad to be playing with him together!
3. None! I live be the principle that you cannot be scared from no one, especially no team or player. Much of the game is mental game, that's why you have all the trash talk on the field and stuff like that, players are trying to destroy you mentally and only then physically. So, if you are afraid of any team or player, that means that they have already won and you have already lost.
4. Definitely Offence! I mean our defence has done amazing job and thanks to them we are where we are. Now it is time for offence to do their part and do some proper damage. Sure, there is a reason why there is the saying - defence wins championships, but at the same time there cannot be a win if offence is non existing.
