1. Playoff Reviews
The team that i am going to follow throughout the playoffs are the Yellowknife Wraiths, who ultimately fell short of their quest for an Ultimus victory. Their first matchup was against the Philadelphia Liberty, which was a defensive battle that ended up being 19-3 for the Wraiths that featured Adriana Falconi throwing 4 interceptions and the entire Liberty offense remaining fairly ineffective against a tough Yellowknife Defense. Their 2nd matchup in the playoffs was against the Baltimore Hawks, who are often one of the better teams in the league in recent memory. This matchup got out of hand near the end as the score at halftime was only 24-14. The final score was 55-14 for the Wraiths as the offense exploded with Bigsby having 400 yards passing with 3 touchdowns and almost having two running backs with 100 yards on the game. The Hawks just didn't stand a chance defensively against this potent offense. Their Ultimus matchup against the Otters was close until the ending touchdown by Armstrong with 2 minutes left to cap off the 30-27 victory for the Otters. The running attack for the Wraiths was much more subdued while Bigsby carried the team through the air with another 400 yards and a touchdown, which was ultimately not enough as the defense only accounted for one interception and three sacks against a potent Otters squad

4. Resim
If the Sabercats were to have resimmed any game during the 19th season it would obviously have to have been the season opener against the Arizona Outlaws were we lost 62-0. The combination of this being the season opener and such a blowout ultimately started the Sabercats season way off course and ultimately derailed their entire season before it even got on track or started. If this game were to be resimmed i imagine that the results would have been much closer as evidenced in their 2nd matchup during the season that was only a 17 point difference between the two. Arizona was one of the more streaky teams in the NSFL and truly could've won or lost any of their games depending on if they were "on or off". This resim would be far more than just the one game as it truly killed morale and any hope of a great season right off the bat, which could have parlayed into other games and the general activity of members of the team if the game has been a much closer resim. If had to eyeball and guesstimate the score of this matchup i would say it ended up being 24-17 in a resim due to our defensive pieces ultimately slowing the Outlaws done much more easily as evidenced in the resim but our offense still not being quite where we need it.

5. Offseason needs
Although the regular season record has not indicated much success for the Sabercats, they have continued to grow and add talent to their roster which can ultimately provide the team with an opportunity to remain competitive in the postseason fairly soon. If this team were to target some of the weaknesses on their team it would include positions such as WR, CB, and DE all of which are filled with lower tpe options or out of position players. The players that currently occupy these spaces on the field would include Action Jackson and DTR at WR with 475 and 350 TPE respectively, one true CB Rowland at 166 tpe and Wozniak the safety at 345 tpe, lastly the aging Tuck at defensive end at 219 tpe. All of these positions are evidenced for the need of higher tpe options to provide the team with an opportunity for success and an inability to be exposed by other teams stars. The Sabercats hold the 2nd overall pick in the draft, which should be able to help fill one of these holes over the next few seasons but an immediate solution through free agency could vault the Sabercats into postseason contention that has eluded them over the last 2 seasons. Through a combination of these routes to player acquisition i believe that the Sabercats can end their postseason drought.

Although the Sabercats may not have been successful as of late they are primed to be the next big powerhouse in the NSFL due to a few aspects. The first of which would be their relatively young core that continues to progress and develop into premier players in the NSFL and this group is led by Tyron Brackenridge but would also include the likes of Ennis, Jackson, Wright, and Tyerucker as they all become pillars of the team at their respective positions. The Sabercats have also begun to lock up their talent long term by signing Brackenridge to a 3 year contract, Action to a 3 year deal and with Ennis wanting to stay around in San Jose as well. The locker room is another aspect of the team that has fostered a winning attitude and a desire to be among the great teams in this league like the Otters or the Wraiths and that success begins in the locker room with active and accountable members. Another crucial aspect would include the excellent leadership and team decisions coming from the GM's on the team that are continuing to add talent to the team through shrewd negotiations and choosing the right players that will fit within the locker room. All of these are crucial aspects but lastly, the Sabercats are one of the youngest teams in the NSFL and are on the rise unlike some of the aging teams in the league that are trying to hold onto past glory.
