Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else.
The San Jose Sabercats were robbed of an NSFL playoff appearance. There. I said it. Now go smelt some iron on that scorching hot take while I spit some knowledge. FACT: The Sabercats had the #1 rush defense in the league, and #2 in yardage allowed. FACT: They also had the #2 rusher in the league, who would have been #1 if not for a failed game plan experiment. FACT: Many players on the team were given the incorrect EXP in the sim until over halfway through the season. FACT: The Sabercats are the only team in the league who didn't plan their depth chart around using WRs as DBs.
Now that you've been properly educated, it's time to hear some intelligent and informed opinionated discussion.
Fuck that, here's why we're better than you. We're cooler, we're richer, we're better looking, we're more interesting, and our side bitches are hotter than your main bitches.
Just think about how much more fun the playoffs would be if a team who truly deserved it, a scrappy underdog, got in.
At the end of the day, there's just one more fact to get your enormous ego and your "logic" and "basic reasoning" and "scores" around. FACT: If the Sabercats had better players and scored more points, we would have been in the playoffs.
Suck it.
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?
The Yeti didn't deserve to make the playoffs. Leave it to the cheating-est team in NSFL history to sneak their way into the postseason. I'm not saying they cheated this year, at least not that I know of. I'm saying I could throw some shit at those walls and you know something would stick. I'm not saying that the worst defense in the league has no business being in the playoffs, I'll let the score do that for me. It's just no coincidence that once one of the pass-happiest team in the league met an actual secondary they crumpled immediately. Who would've guess that could even happen to a team with only 1 win against teams with winning records? I sure did.
It's almost too bad, because this was their best shot for a couple seasons at making the big dance. With no draft picks this past offseason, there is basically no young talent to plug holes in their game, and nobody to develop. Luckily they're in a weak conference so they can get the 4 easy wins against the worst teams in the league, then hope they split with the next two above them and get a fluke to keep those playoff hopes alive year to year.
Fite me IRL.
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups
What a big fucking surprise, huh? I guess we should change our name to the NSBA because we're just gonna keep having the same championship matchup over and over again. Quick, which season am I talking about: The #1 seeded Hawks and Second Line walked over the Yeti and Otters (who barely made it in), into the Ultimus, where a close game kept it interesting until the end? I'll give you a hint, the winner was NOLA. Exactly. The only interesting part of this year's playoffs was our Ultimus going into overtime. It was kind of funny seeing the Hawks drop 600 yards of offence and 45 points on the Yeti. At least the Otters pretended to put up a fight, turns out you do still need a rushing game to be relevant in the postseason though.
The Ultimus was really where it was at especially if you really like offense. Sometimes it's fun to just watch two powerhouses go full arms race and see who can out-nuke the other. With over 1000 yards of offence, and almost 80 points scored, this may go down as one of the highest scoring games in the league, let alone the Ultimus. I just wish the games leading up to the action were more like it.
Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us.
Darren Smallwood was the unsung hero of the playoffs. Well, maybe more people recognize his performance than not, but my point stands. While Bork was putting up 700+ yards and 7 TDs, and Fyodorovich was catching 5 TDs, Smallwood put his head down and rushed forward to do his job. With almost 280 yards, and 3 rushing TDs, his rushing kept the clock rolling and the chains moving. He was a redzone threat and the go to guy for a 1st down. But his heroics didn't just end with running really far or into the endzone, he alone iced the game for NOLA in the Ultimus. The last five plays of the game were: 3 yard rush, 3 yard rush, 5 yard rush, 2 yard rush, 6 yard TD reception. When the game came down to the wire, the Second Line counted on one man to finish the game: Darren. Fucking. Smallwood. I don't care that he was the Offensive MVP the game before. It was the "Greg Jennings--I put da team on my back" moment that solidified him as the true hero of the game. For him to get anything less than Ultimus MVP is considering him as "unsung" in my book.
