Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series. COMPLETED
In the semi-finals between the Otters and Outlaws, both quarterbacks came out with very different results, despite having similar yardage and completions. For the Outlaws, Vincent Draxel was 19/33 on his attempts. He managed to put forth 183 yard, averaging 9.6. On top of that, he scored 1 touchdown, and in the end came out with a rating of 83.3.
Meanwhile, over on the Otters, we have QB Mike Boss. He was 17/41, and actually put up 190 yards, which was more than Draxel. He averaged 11.2, and scored 1 touchdown. The glaring mistakes he made were the end for the Otters though, where he threw 4 interceptions. He came out of the game with a rating of 24.5. For how many attempts Boss had, he really should have converted more, with only 17 out of 41.
In regards to touchdowns off of passes from the QB, there were only actually 1 from each team. Lincoln Jefferson converted off a pass from Vincent Draxel in the 2nd, and Bradley Westfield converted off a pass from Mike Boss in the 4th. The game was pretty even though, and both quarterbacks were decent up until the 4th quarter, where Arizona took over. They scored 3 touchdowns in the final 3 minutes to make this game look lopsided.

Bottom Third: Write about why the Baltimore Hawks and/or San Jose Sabercats were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point
The reason the Baltimore Hawks did not make the playoffs is easy to me. Scrub Kyubee is just too scrubby. Sure, he had stats like a 58.3 completion percentage, among the best in the league, but he should have been even better. On top of that he had 253 completions, which was above the average as well. What he did do, however, was throw the 2nd most interceptions in the league, with 17.
Scrub Kyubee was just not good enough. I can not blame the defense. Scrub should have been running super speed away from his opponents tackles. He should have punched people in the face and threw them off of him if they came his way. How could he let anyone tackle him, let alone a 300+ lbs man? What a little bitch. Scrub needed to be better in that position.
Another area Scrub Kyubee should have been better in is his passing. He should have just thrown straight hail marys all the time, letting somebody like Cooper Christmas run to the TD of the other team. What a loser Scrub is, that he can't even throw 200 yards at once? Kyubee should have been able to spot guys that were not in a position to catch the ball, and throw to them anyways, right between their hands. Throw it like a cannon, so even if someone wanted to intercept it they would not have been able to touch that rocket.

Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. COMPLETED
In regards to this season's playoffs, I can say that they were less than stellar. There was one team that was clearly better than the others, and that is none other than the Arizona Outlaws.
In the Outlaws game in the semi-finals, they killed the Otters 36-13. That's not a score you want to give up in the big show of the playoffs. Being the Otters, how can you let a team take it to you that hard in the dying minutes of a post-season game? In the final 3 minutes, it was 15-13 Arizona, and the Orange County Otters should have had some gas in the tank. But no, they let up a 97 yard kickoff return, a 7 yard run, and a 13 yard interception return. In the dying minutes of the conference finals, Orange County blew it and Arizona took over big time. They made it look dominant.
In the finals, the Outlaws faced off against the best from the other conference, which against Arizona did not seem challenging. They stormed out of the gates with a TD and a FG in the 1st, gaining a 10-0 lead. In the 2nd, they scored another TD to gain a 16-0 lead. Colorado would score a couple of FGs themselves, but that would only bring it to 16-6. Arizona would answer in the 3rd with 2 FGs, bringing it to 22-6, then adding another TD to end the game 29-6.
Overall, the playoffs didn't seem to look on paper too competitive, which isn't something you like to see. I hope other teams bring their A-games next season.
