1) Playoff Predictions/Review
This season was very surprising for the Philadelphia Liberty. I expected us to do well, but was surprised at everything that happened. In the playoffs we came in as a wildcard team, ended up beating both the top two seeds in the NSFC; Yellowknife Wraiths in the first round, and the Chicago Butchers in Conference finals. In our first game we just beat the Wraiths 35-34. In this game I did pretty decent with 8 receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown. But our difference maker was easily Falconi who threw for just under 400 yards, and 3 touchdowns. With just over 6 minutes left in the game Nacho Varga scored the go-ahead touchdown and we were able to hold on the lead to advance.
In the conference finals we were away in Chicago playing against one of the best teams in the NSFL, and we gave them everything we got. In this game I was the second leading receiver, scoring another touchdown on 7 receptions and racking up 83 yards. At halftime we were losing 20-16, but at the end of the third quarter we were a different team. Scoring 21 unanswered points to take the lead and faceoff against the Arizona Outlaws in the Ultimus Finals. Unfortunately, that is where our run stopped, but it was a well fought and extremely close game losing 34-30.
8) Strategies
I do not think there are many changes the Philadelphia Liberty need, to make another appearance in for the Ultimus. However, one of the changes that they are going to address will be the retirement of my player, Zapp Brannigan. I never thought Brannigan to be too good, besides having the tightest end of course. I do not think they would have a problem finding someone to fill Zapp’s shoes, he did not have a lot of TPE so even a lower TPE tight end can make up the difference in a few seasons.
Besides that, Philadelphia needs some help in the running game. Last season, the Liberty did not have a single running back finish in the top ten for rushing yards. Both Jones and Hank did finish 11th and 12th respectively, but there needs to be more of a balance to their game. If the Liberty rely too much on Falconi it can be too predictable. Recently, Philadelphia did sign Marquise Brown which should definitely help in that department, open up the passing game, and allow Vander Jones to rest a bit more too. Philadelphia is already looking threatening this season and to win a championship, and the draft just ended. They would probably be my favorites to win the Ultimus, they made some really smart moves to put them in contention. And now it is up to the sim.

Not many people know this but I think this is the perfect time to discuss my departure from San Jose. I usually keep these sorts of issues to myself but it has been eating me up for far too long. Joliet Christ, was the reason I left. At first, it was little things like not slapping my ass after a nice catch or touchdown, and then he refused to acknowledge how tight my ass was. That was my last straw and why I left San Jose and just want to see them lose in the most embarrassing way. Now seeing them in the playoffs again makes my blood boil.
Luckily, I thought to myself, that I would not have to watch San Jose play against Arizona since we had a game. I recorded on my DVR for later. After our game I was ecstatic and saw on ESPN in the locker room the San Jose got spanked, losing 41-21. I ran home as fast as I could, so I could watch Christ’s miserable face after the game was over. I did not want to miss a single second, it was like watching my favorite movie for the first time. That is what you get Joliet for not saying my ass was tight, just admit it now. My favorite part was when Arizona intercepted Christ and returned it for a touchdown… so satisfying.
