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.
In the first game of the ASFC semifinals we have the up and coming Austin Copperheads against the highly favored Arizona Outlaws. Through 13 regular season games the two teams finished 5-8-0 and 9-4-0 respectively, the latter of which was the best finish in the NSFL. As many expected the Outlaws opened the scoring early in this one with a pair of touchdowns and a field goal in the first quarter to build up a convincing 16-0 lead. Austin would respond with a touchdown and field goal of their own in the 2nd quarter to make this an interesting one as we entered the second half with a score of 16-10 in favor of the Outlaws. Eager to tie the game, the Copperheads hoped they could follow up on their dominant performance in the 2nd quarter, but it was Slim Shady and the Outlaws that would secure the first score of the second half with a 1 yard touchdown. In addition to that the Outlaws would also complete a field goal to regain their 16 point lead. In in the final quarter the Outlaws would put this one out of reach with their fourth touchdown of the match. Austin would respond with a touchdown and field goal of their own to "win" the fourth quarter, but they fell short of catching up to the high scoring Arizona Outlaws. Final score 33-20.
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.
In the ASFC finals we have the league leading Arizona Outlaws against the always competitive Orange County Otters. In the regular season the Outlaws dominated the Otters with a pair of wins, but the Otters are known to deliver time and time again and you can bet the young Franklin Armstrong was eager to live up to the Otter name in his first full season as starting QB. On the other end we have veteran pig skin chucker and favorite to win, Andrew Reese. Through 13 regular season games Reese led in every major category including completions, attempts, yards, touchdowns and QB rating. In round one Reese delivered with 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions on course for a 33-20 win against the Austin Copperheads. Franklin matched those numbers in his round one matchup with a pair of touchdowns of his own and 0 interceptions. After a full 60 minutes though only one would prevail and this time around it was the young Franklin Armstrong. Finishing with just a single touchdown and 15 completions, he made the most of his attempts averaging an insane 19.3 yards per completion. Reese would finish with more completions, attempts and touchdowns, but his average of just 11.6 in comparison to Armstrong showed in this one as he and the Outlaws were unable to win. Otters would go on to win 37-20 and Armstrong would secure the offensive player of the game.
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.
Adding to what I already wrote in task #3, I'm going to double down on the performance of the young Armstrong, this time pitting him against the Outlaws top defensive weapon, Raymond Vans. These two met twice in the regular season, both of which concluded in Arizona wins. While not the defensive player of the game, Vans would deliver in their first matchup collecting a pair of sacks and 6 tackles. Armstrong would struggle a bit, but still managed to finish with a stronger QB rating than Reese, so it's hard to say Vans really rattled him in game one despite winning. Their second matchup played much like the first. Vans would record a single sack, 5 tackles and the win. Armstrong however would struggle mightily in this one with 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. This was in large part due to the dominant play of Hike Mughes. The stage was set for their 3rd showdown in the ASFC finals. Vans would once again record a very similar stat line with 6 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 tackle for a loss which was strong enough to secure the defensive player of the game. As we already know however, Armstrong would not be rattled in this one finishing with a single touchdown, 0 interceptions and a deadly 109.5 QB rating. It took him three tries, but Armstrong and the Otters would eventually prevail against Vans and the Outlaws.
7) Next year
Written: If your team has been eliminated, why will the next year, or the year after that, be the year that your team is going to win the Ultimus or Ultimini.
Entering the playoffs as the reigning champions and the top record in the regular season the Outlaws had a lot going for them in S17, but they ran in to an equally strong Orange County squad and would fall short of claiming back to back championships. Fast forward to the end of the playoffs and the beginning of S18 and nothing has really changed in Arizona. They are just as strong as they were last season, if not even more improved with the addition of a few trades and the obvious growth of the draftees over the last few seasons. Valentine returns after another dominant performance in S17 to go along with several other weapons which will give Andrew Reese every opportunity to dominant the league. On the other end the suffocating defense featuring names like Mughes, Lee, Vans and Morris returns for another full season. Expect them to perform similar to last season, giving opposing teams nightmares and more importantly L's in the standings. Last, but certainly not least, the coaching styles of Swagsloth will return again in S18. While top end talent is a must, you need to know how to put all those weapons to use and the current coaching system has been shown to work over the last few seasons. If everything goes as intended, expect to see the Outlaws near the top of the standings again in S18, poised for another shot at the Ultimus.
