This season of the developmental Simulation Football league was filled with twists and turns, and teams climbing and stumbling up and down the power rankings, as this season of the developmental Simulation Football league, was at least, the most craziest yet, where every team, including 2 new expansion franchises, had a claim to make why they should be the team who should hoist up the Ultimini, and there were two teams who in the end, are the two teams who have Rose up to the challenge. The first team up from the south, is the Myrtle beach buccaneers, who are looking for revenge after getting slaughtered by the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the Ultimini last season. And then there are the northern team, the Kansas City Coyotes, who were bounced out of the playoffs by the aforementioned Minnesota Grey Ducks, and led by likely league mvp, Chika Fujiwara. The Ultimini was once again, a massacre, Chika Fujiwara did not have any answers for the Myrtle beach defense, as they shut her offense down to only 10 points, while the combo of Chris Ramos and Mr.Irrelevant Tom Sofa proved to be too powerful for the Kansas City secondary, as that was the key for a Myrtle beach victory, 27-10.
6. Unfortunately, despite putting up a decent 6 and 8 record, the Minnesota Grey Ducks ended up missing the developmental Simulation Football league playoffs by 2 games to their rival, the Portland Pythons. The grey Ducks were coming off two straight ultimini wins, the first against Tijuana, the second against Myrtle beach. With the transition season from Woelkers to Dewalt completed, some changes will be needed to make the grey Ducks an Ultimini contender once again, and attempt to reestablish themselves as a developmental Simulation Football league dynasty. It’s not going to be easy, but the first step is to make sure that most of your young, elite talent will be sent back down to the developmental Simulation Football league for another season, because the more send downs you have, the more likely you’ll come out of the season with the Ultimini in your hands. The next step is to reestablish the team culture, during the team’s infamous deep losing streak, when they can’t seem to win the second game, pessimism dominated the locker room after those ill fated games, a winning culture eliminates the pessimism and turns it into inspiration and pride for your franchise. With simply those two steps, you’re one step closer to become a DSFL juggernaut.
8. After my first season in the DSFL, there is only one team that I wish I could exact revenge on. That team was the new expansion team, the London Royals. This started in a Week 6 game, where despite Minnesota's potent Rushing Offense holding strong throughout the game, the offense could not get anything going in the fourth quarter. On the royal side of the ball, they were fueled with long rushing attacks by their two backs, Accura Skyline and Jacoby Batista, both getting 65+ yard runs for touchdowns. Acura's, of course, came in the last minutes of overtime, where the Grey Ducks defense was obviously tired from playing for so long into overtime. The second matchup in week 13 proved to be the dagger in the two-time reigning Ultimini champion, as it was a blowout against the Royals, even with the Ducks having a high chance of winning. This was fueled by another game of potent rushing attacks, as DSFL rushing leader Acura Skyline ran for 145 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown, which was all too similar to the previous matchup. Despite Jamar Lackson's career-high rushing of his own, it was not enough to stop the Royals from knocking the /grey Ducks out of Playoff contention.
19. Team Culture is very important for me as a player, and the Grey Ducks locker room is one of the reasons that I remain active, as opposed to my former player, Ronald Watkins. This starts with the team captains of the locker room, Mo "Mamba" Magic, and Lawrence Bass,(This is who I see talking the most as a captain) both of which are on the defensive side of the ball, but it does help to know that we do have great active players on the defense, so I can get my carries and get the offense moving to win the game. Team culture is very important because it helps to set the mentality for the team, with everyone talking and being active, it translates to our play on the field, and while our record didn't say it this year, we are definitely ready to work together again, with some new additions to the team and push for our 3rd Ultimini in three years. But all of the work can't just come from the Team captains, it has to come from the players too, like Sim Snowbow, now starting Qb who is super active and friendly, and when some are active, it leads to others being active, which establishes the team locker room atmosphere that is needed to be successful in the future.
