Bottom Third: Write about why the Baltimore Hawks and/or San Jose Sabercats were not able to make the playoffs.
The Baltimore Hawks are one of the biggest enigmas of this first season. They went undefeated during the preseason, even crushing teams like the Yeti and the Wraiths. Everything seemed to be on point. Their offense and their defense was working. However, as the preseason went, the difference of points between them and their opponents became slimer and slimer. A win is still a win, though, so all around the League, people started to wonder if they had underestimated the Hawks.
What probably killed the Hawks' chances at a playoff spot is their offense, which is dead last in most categories in the League. Where most teams could compensate for an average passing game with a great rushing game, the Hawks excelled at neither. Their kicker did alright and lead the League in field goal percentage but when you need to rely on your kicker to win games, you don't make the playoffs (unless you're the Yeti, I guess). Their defense did well statistically speaking, even if most of their losses weren't close matches. Indeed, while they did not lead the League in any category, they were usually in the middle of the pack, which would be sufficient to make the playoffs usually, but their offense was so mediocre that they'll have to watch the playoffs from the stands this season.
