1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:

Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If it is afterwards, give a review of the game.

I'm still new here and I don't know many (any?) of the players, but the two teams I've heard mentioned in passing around the site most are the Otters and the Second Line, so I'll review their fierce playoff matchup from the semifinals, which saw NOLA squeak past the otters in overtime. New Orleans seems to have been lead by their QB, Stan Francisco, who accrued over 300 yards and racked up 2 TD passes. Most of their yards through the air went to wideouts Podolak and Jones, while the carries seem split between Gump and Toriki. Offensive MVP for NOLA: S. Francisco. Defensive MVP for NOLA: J. Slothface. As for the Otters, Franklin Armstrong accounted for 2 TDs - one passing, one rushing, and their carries were less split, with Ludicolo Bigby getting most of the ground work. They had some great defensive performances, with Lazer-Eyes picking up 2 TFLs and a sack and Lattimer coming up big with 2 PDs and an INT. Offensive MVP: F. Armstrong. Defensive MVP: A. Lattimer. This would've been an absolutely thrilling game to watch, as the home team Otters were able to score a touchdown and tie up the game with just 1 minute to go in the 4th quarter. New Orleans got the ball to start overtime and had an efficient drive that led to a field goal, and Orange County's chance to respond fell short when a 3rd and 4 from near midfield ended up with a Blaylock sack.

11) Rivalry

Written: Which team or player would you consider to be your greatest rival? Write 200 words on why you are rivals with them and why you want them to lose (don’t harass other users please).

My rival is someone who I've had the opportunity to match up against several times in practice during my short S22 stint with the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - WR Garfield Despacito Jr. Despacito Jr. has been seeing a lot of time in the slot this season, so when I'm on the field getting reps at safety I'm basically just lurking there waiting for him to come across so i can light him tf up. The coaches have repeatedly told me "hey jadakiss it's just practice and you're technically on the roster but you haven't seen any in-game action and probably won't this entire season since you got signed after the trade deadline so you really shouldn't be laying big hits on one of our actual players in practice" but I tell them to piss off and say "it's only gabe it's fine he can take it!" Despacito Jr. and I have taken our rivalry off the field as well, competing in locker room competitions such as "who can spit the farthest" or "who can come the closest to licking each others toes without getting grossed out" or "who can get more subscribers to their onlyfans" - no surprise, just like on the practice field, I've been dominating Despacito Jr. in these off-field competitions as well!

3) X-Factor

Written: Predict one player on a playoff team who you feel will make the biggest impact and push that team into the championship. Choose someone besides your own player for this task.

As a member of the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, I'll focus locally as we head into the Ultimini. One of the x-factors for this team on defense is linebacker Trevor Mouseman. Mouseman led the team in tackles during the regular season and uses his 90 rating speed to get everywhere out there on the field. I was able to watch one of the streams this season and I caught our game and it seemed like mouseman had literally every one of our tackles lol. I'm still getting used to this sim engine so it seems like there may not be a ton of variance in who on the defense gets tackles but nevertheless mouseman was killing it! He led MB in tackles this season and finished 4th in the DSFL. The rest of his stats were just 1s across the board - 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 pass deflection, 1 interception, and 1 tackle for loss. That commitment to consistency is something that should not be overlooked in a super bowl style showdown for the ultimini. I would be surprised to see anybody other than mouseman lead the Buccaneers in tackles in the Big Game, a testament to his ability to fly around the field and always seem to be in the right place at the right time.
