8. Draft Focus
There's a ton of holes with the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers right now. We've got the running backs and quarterback under control; we also have an active offensive lineman so there's that. But other than that... we need some help. To be honest, there's no really specific need that the Buccaneers need. Our GMs have the ability to pick and choose based on overall ability and not just based on a position we're lacking. I think we're going to need a ton of help if we're going to have any chance of competing next year, but picking up some solid defensive contributors, a wide receiver or two, and just anyone else who will be remotely active will help the team a ton. Right now we're sitting at six active players; two RBs, one WR, one OL, one QB, and one DE. Having just ONE active defensive player is pretty disappointing, so above all else we need a strong defensive draft to help us win at least a couple more games than last year. I'm pretty sure our top RB is going up, so if I'm all that's left at RB there might be a possibility of drafting someone to either back me up or possibly overtake me... I'm not the best earner, but I hope I've earned a starting job next year.

While I don't hate the guy, someone who I'd call my rival(even if he doesn't know it) is Jed Podolak. I have some good connections with him over in the PBE, but in here it's straight business; this guy is good. He came into the league, like me, as a waiver wire pickup, but his success has been MUCH more pronounced. He's dominated basically every game he's been in, has an incredible athletic gift with just how fast he is, and is just a great running back. It also doesn't help he was placed on such an incredible team like the Luchadores, and I'm over here on a team that's being considered to become a bot team(albeit we play like one already). While I've only played two games, we have had a head to head matchup, back in week 13 of the DSFL. I recorded eight carries on thirty-five yards while he notched up 21 carries, 106 yards, and a touchdown on the way to a Luchadores blowout. My prediction for their upcoming playoff game against the Marshals(it might have already been played however) is that the Marshals shock the world and pick up their second win against the Luchadores. While Tijuana is 13-1, their one loss came to the Marshals and San Antonio could obviously pick up a second dub against them. I predict Podolak runs 16 times for 62 yards and zero scores, as San Antonio bottles him up on the way to victory.
10. Rivalries
Darrel's only played two games so far, so there isn't really any team that's angered Darrel. At least looking at this year's schedule, the one team that's always frustrated Myrtle Beach is Norfolk. While Norfolk is only 3-11 this year and way out of the playoff picture like us, two of their three wins came against us. More frustrating is that both of those wins were blowouts. It's bad enough to lose against a bad team. It's even worse to lose multiple games against bad teams. It's even worse than that when you lose multiple games against the same bad team. The absolute worst is when you lose multiple games against the same team and you get absolutely clobbered in both games. There's no denying that. When you allow 70 points and score 26, as well as lose by three scores in both games, you know you've been destroyed. Norfolk is our rival, just because we know we probably can't beat anyone else consistently yet. But to have lost these games in this fashion is just crushing. I think with some new pieces, continued activity, and if Norfolk takes a step back, this rivalry could get much more competitive, which would definitely benefit the DSFL. These blowouts will hopefully switch sides next season.
17. Robbed
Look, you might see our record and think I'm joking. "A player on a 2-12 team thinks his team was robbed because they didn't make the playoffs? This guy's joking and a joke." While Myrtle Beach makign the playoffs seems less likely than your computer spontaneously exploding while your reading this final Ultimus task, there actually was a real path to the playoffs. Let's start with the obvious; if Myrtle Beach is making the playoffs, we have to be replacing San Antonio. They're the worst playoff team this year, we already beat them twice, and are overall our best chance to sneak in. How do we make up these four wins to replace the 6-8 Marshals? Well, thankfully we actually need to make up three. In this scenario, the offense doesn't actually disappear in week 4 and beats the Marshals, now making our teams 3-11 and 5-9. The following week, the Buccaneers do the impossible; they beat the Tijuana Luchadores. Look, you might think I'm crazy. How in the world could the worst team beat the best team when their real records were 11 wins off in a fourteen game season? Well, the Bucs actually only lost this game by 4. When the Luchadores lineup on third and 6, the Buccaneers don't go offsides, the play doesn't become third and 1, and the Luchadores two yard pass forces a punt. The Buccaneers dominate the rest of the drive and win the game. Finally, in a new and improved season, I assume the Buccaneers find a way to actually beat Norfolk and add a fifth win to their total. This secures the Buccaneers as a playoff team, and the impossible becomes possible; Myrtle Beach makes the playoffs.
