Prompt Wrote:React, or overreact, to the first weeks of the season. Is your player’s slow start a sign of abject failure, or are they a 100% MVP lock? Have the Otters already locked up an Ultimus? Is [insert your least favorite team here] the worst team in the league, or just the worst of all time? Give your spicy hot takes here.
After the early success of this year, I can say my player is absolutely 100% over the hill and might as well be buried. Through 6 games I'm averaging less than 3 tackles per game with only 2 sacks. TWO! Last season I had two sacks in my first game. Last season I thought I had a conceptual case for being the best DE of the year (though I think I played outside of the DE position too much to qualify for voting), but this year just seems like a bust on the personal stats side.
The upside that's very different than my personal stats, though, is that the team is doing great. We've had shockingly good offense, with Cole seemingly remembering how to throw the ball better than last year despite his advancing age. I'm hoping it's not just good luck and that we're actually building a sustainable team, but I am worried. We're currently tied for 2nd place (abliet with lower tiebreakers) with Orange County which is decidedly better of a position than we've been in during recent years. I think our 4-0 home record vs. an 0-2 away line shows that we're not quite as strong as the record looks, though, and so I expect us to have some issues later in the season. I think we can still contend, but I'm thinking our upside is 3rd in the division (or maybe 2nd with good tiebreakers) while struggling to actually make it to the Ultimus.
