(S25) - PT 5 - Playoffs? You Kidding Me?

[MrStennett]

The Royals are playoff bound for sure at this point, and have a very good opportunity to lock up the DSFL's best record come the end of the regular season. They are tied with the Buccaneers at 10-3 as I am writing this, but are up at least three games on all of their division counterparts. London has been great on both sides of ball this season, boasting the league's top scoring offense and the third best scoring defense. In order to go the whole way this season and complete the coveted back-to-back championship run, there is something that needs to improve, and that is quarterback play. Charlemagne Cortez, the Royals third year quarterback, started the season off as hot as you can get. At about the halfway point, he was leading the league in both touchdown passes and passer rating. He was also among the league's best when it comes to completion percentage. Since that point, Cortez has dropped off at an alarming rate, however. Over the last two games, he hasn't thrown a touchdown, has been picked off twice, and has completed just a paltry 56% of his passes. While London has still managed to win both of these games, Cortez really needs to step up when his team needs him most, because these numbers just aren't going to get it done in the postseason.
