1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If completed before the airing of the sims have predictions, after if it is a review of the game.
With the Ultimus being tomorrow, Season 16 will come to a close with two underdogs (a second and third seed respectively) battling it out for the Ultimus. Starting with the second seed, the Arizona Outlaws. The Outlaws certainly have the advantage defensively, having held quite possibly the strongest passing attack in the league, to just 3 points. Though on the flipside the Outlaws offense has been lacking, though the increasing prevalence of Seer Zephyrous in the running game seems to have ignited a spark within the once average Arizona offense. Moving on to the 3rd seed, the Philadelphia Liberty. The Liberty are very different from the defense-heavy Outlaws, having one of the best offense's in the league that seen a new growth like the Outlaws due to Vander Jone's presence in the passing game catching over 75 yards in each of the last 4 games including playoffs. And while defensively the front 7 of the Liberty is not the greatest, the Liberty have a great secondary with very aggressive corners and safety's. Though I may be a bit biased I see Philadelphia taking the win over Arizona 14-13 . As while the defense of Arizona is very strong, I don't see them preventing the passing attack of Falconi and Co.
3) All about the QBs
Written: Write 200 words on one of the QB matchups in this year's playoffs. What are you most excited to see (Or excited to have seen), who will play better (Or who played better), etc.
The season finale of Season 16 brings together two similar quarterbacks with very different surrounding rosters, Falconi v Reese. Starting with Adriana Falconi, who has put up near MVP numbers finishing the Season with 36 TDs and 3,693 yards but her 15 Ints ended up killing her MVP chances. Too has her surrounding roster been near elite with Zapp Brannigan in his final year being partnered with Jordon von Matt and Nacho Varga. Though the person I believe will be most impactful in Falconi's receiving core is also the person with the most non-QB Touchdown. I believe it will truly come down to if the Arizona defense can manage to stop the Vander Jones passing attack. On the other side Andrew Reese had put of moderate numbers with 20 TD and 3173 yards though these numbers match the playstyle of Arizona being very run-heavy, controlling the clock in process and waiting for the opponent to make a mistake to then to capitalize. And while Reese may not have a elite receiving core like Falconi, he can still manage with short passes. As said before this will be an close and likely defensive showdown but I believe it comes down to if the Outlaws can stop Jones.
4) Head to Head Matchups
Written: Write about two offensive and defensive players that will go against each other in the playoffs or who have faced off in the playoffs, can be DL/QB, WR/CB, RB/LB or whatever matchup you see fit.
Vander Jones Vs. Arizona Secondary
As mentioned before Vander Jones success in the passing game will be necessary for Philadelphia in order to take home the Ultimus. Looking back at the past two playoffs games victory hinged on the success of Jones.
First, Philadelphia at Yellowknife: Jones was spectacular against Yellowknife gaining 164 yards in 9 catches over the air including a long 51 bomb to put Philadelphia in scoring position not to mention even picking up two rushing touchdowns as well.
Second, Philadelphia at Chicago: In the Championship game of the playoff Jones slowed down a bit but still put up an impressive 113 yards in 7 catches his longest catch being an 43 yard catch and run to put Philadelphia in position for an key field goal.
Looking at Arizona's secondary consisting of players like cornerback Knight and Safety Barnes it will be very difficult for Jones to find a hole to use as evidenced by the last time these two teams met as Jones was 85 yards in 7 catches which is still impressive but nowhere near the past two weeks especially considering he had no catches for 30+ yards which is key for getting into scoring position. In conclusion, Philadelphia needs those 30-50 yard passes from any receiver, only that it's most likely that Jones will be the key receiver racking these catches in.
