Playoff Series MVP:
There is only one MVP that I can name for the Championship series, it would be Vladimir Fyodorovich. Vlad showed up and made a statement in the finals against the Hawks. Statistic wise Vlad had just under 100 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns for the winning effort. Not only was he able to produce on offense but special teams as well returning a 50-yard punt for a touchdown just before time expired in the first half. Scoring right before half time is always difficult for the opposing team, but the situation makes it even worse for the Hawks. Vlad showed how explosive of a player he can be helping carrying his team to victory. Just himself alone, he scored 4 touchdowns for New Orleans which helped them take the win in overtime against the Hawks. Without Vlad’s contribution on the offensive side of the ball and special teams, the Hawks could have easily won the game. Vlad was able to demonstrate how dominate a Wide receiver can be when the have the right tools and know how to use them well. This championship may go down in history because of his contribution and how entertaining the game was as well. You deserve my MVP vote Vlad, congrats!
Robbed:
If there is one team that got robbed from making the playoffs this season, it would definitely be the Philadelphia Liberty. The NFSC was an extremely close race for the playoffs with Colorado Yeti just edging the Liberty for the wildcard spot. Throughout the season the Liberty kept many games close and stole other games that many people did not think they would win. The Liberty this past regular season beat half of the teams that made the playoffs, with New Orleans and Orange County as the exceptions. Finishing 7-7 with a rookie quarterback as well, Falconi at the helm. Falconi threw for just less than 3 thousand years in her first season in Philadelphia, and was also helped by the second ranked running game in Philadelphia as well, which was led by Brown. Brown this past season also rushed for over 1500 yards and scored 15 rushing touchdowns. Once Flaconi get some more experience under center in Philadelphia, they will be a force to be reckoned with. On the defensive side of the ball the Liberty led the league in tackles for loss and tied the league lead for interceptions as well. The Liberty are a scary team looking forward and this is a warning for other teams to watch out as well.
Playoff Review:
In the first round of the playoffs this year in the NSFL there was not much of a surprise for most people. Both the favorites New Orleans and Baltimore won their matchups blowing out the opposing teams.
The Yeti were able to put up 7 points against the Hawks, but their only points came in the first quarter. For the Hawks Applehort threw for over 400 yards and 4 Touchdowns, and Taylor had over 180 yards rushing. Both of them and the whole team had a dominate performance.
New Orleans was able to produce just as dominate of a performance to top the Otters in the first round. New Orleans gave up 13 points with 10 coming in the first half. On the offensive side of the ball, Smallwood and Maximux III totaled over 500 yards and 5 touchdowns combined in their rout of over the Otters.
Unlike the prior games, the Ultimus finals were decided in Overtime. However, just before the end of the 1st quarter Vlad, returned a 50 yard punt return for a Touchdown. With less than 2 minutes left in the game, New Orleans scored the game winning touchdown. Maximus III threw a 6 yard touchdown. pass to Smallwood for the game and the Ultimus title. Both these plays were vital for the Second Line to win, and without them the game may have ended up differently.
