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.
Wow I'm thrilled for this chance to revisit basically the only thing in the world that gives me nightmares anymore, choking NSFL games. And boy we didn't just choke. We choked and then someone ran up and shoved a new blockage down our throats and then four more people did that same thing. We lost a home playoff game by four touchdowns and committed four turnovers, including two in the red zone. Basically the biggest bummer of an outcome we could possibly have arrived at. Looking at this game, it's really the turnovers that sent us skidding off the rails. They gave Arizona good field position, which their offense capitalized on, and it also resulted in a number of points swings. For example two red zone possessions for a team like us will probably result in 10 points or so, if we want to come up with a rough number. Let's also say that two possessions starting deep in enemy territory will lead to 6, let's call it an even 7 points. Either two field goals or one touchdown. Anyway, those turnovers alone would result in a 17 point swing, which would have brought the game to a much more respectable 24-13 loss. Add in two more turnovers and suddenly it's a close game. But we did force one of our own, so who knows. In the end we just got steamrolled and that is what it is. It's not a game I expected to lose but kudos to Arizona on getting back to this level. They've had as difficult a road as anyone since the early seasons of the league, so it's not an accomplishment to dismiss.

8) Strategies
Written: Unless you won the Championship, what changes does your team need to make in the offseason to improve your chances next year.
I think the most important changes start and end with our defense. In a lot of our losses this season we were able to move the ball effectively but one thing we really struggled to do was keep our defense off the field. Yes, they valiantly allowed the fewest points in the league, but check out our yardage allowed ranks. We allowed the 5th highest yards per game against overall, driven primarily by allowing the most rushing yards per game against. We started a mish mash of players at all sorts of different positions, but we also lost a lot of defensive line help. I think adding Kwame Abayomi Mbanefo is going to be huge for our run stopping ability, and it'll hopefully let us improve upon a solid if unspectacular sack total. Next, we need to get better at running the football. We've always been a pass first offense, but even previous iterations of the Otters who ran similar schemes weren't so inept at rushing. We ran for just under 77 yards per game, dead last in the league by a solid margin. With a rookie quarterback, we're going to need our big uglies to open up more holes for Apollo Reed and take some pressure off of Franklin Armstrong. We'll have some shakeups elsewhere, but overall I think those are the two biggest things. Run the ball better, and prevent other teams from doing so with so much ease.
12) Sit-down with a star
Written: 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.
I interviewed smug idiot @Daybe:
1. What did you expect coming into the season? How is it different/similar to what happened?
I didn’t expect us to go 10-3. I kinda figured we’d be the two or three seed, but I expected it to be a lot tighter and not with Chicago on top for sure.
2. With a 10 wins under your belt in a season where I think a lot of us felt YKW was just 1 season away, how do you think you can build on that success?
The best thing about this offseason and how the season played out is we have so many ways to go. We have all of our picks so we could move assets, or carve out the cap space to add free agents. We had no expectations going into the year which helps.
3. You guys have probably gotten more impact players from the last few draft classes than anyone. Do you feel like so many of those guys coming in from one class (S15) has made it easier to build a good locker room environment?
Yeah, having a group of guys that are learning together helps everybody. The S15 class has a special bond or something that brings them together.
4. Your player Jaylen Storm had a rookie season that I could only describe as utterly retched and massively disappointing. Do you think you'll ever improve or is this a sign of things to come?
Jaylen Storm more like Jaylen Suck on this dick bich
