6) Write 800 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 800 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something.
So for this prompt I thought I'd do something history related, because it's been a while since I did one of my game reviews. But this time, I'll be doing a SEASON review, essentially going through all the games in a season and everything that has happened. IT makes sense to start with season 1.
Week 1 started off normally, with the Wraiths, Yeti and Outlaws winning. Outlaws won a non competitive game on the road vs a QB that threw 6 picks. Very interesting. We haven't seen a game with 6 interceptions in a while.
Week 2 has one repeat winner, the Yeti. So only one team was undefeated still. Most of the games were slow and low scoring, with only one team scoring more than 13 points, the San Jose Sabercats.
In week 3 the Yeti, Outlaws and Otters all got a win and established themselves as the top dogs. The Yeti had started out strong, winning their first 3 games. We still haven't seen any team score over 30 points yet.
In week 4 the 0-3 Hawks managed to upset the 3-0 Yeti on the road, probably one of the biggest upsets we'll see all year. The Hawks put up 39 points, the most ever by a team. The Outlaws and Otters improved on their winning ways.
In week 5, we saw two teams break 30 points, with the Yeti getting back to winning against the Otters. Wraiths and Hawks handled their business.
In week 6, the Yeti established themselves as a top team, beating their demons, that being the Hawks. Outlaws and Wraiths won, and the Hawks and SJS continued staying at the bottom tier. There were really 3 tiers at the time. The Yeti at the top tier. Then in the middle tier you had the Outlaws, Wraiths and Otters. Then in the bottom tier you had SJS and Baltimore.
In week 7, the Yeti played the Hawks again and won, improving to 6-1 on the season. Outlaws won, and the Otters got the first shutout of the season against the Wraiths.
Week 8 marks the downfall of the Yeti, who lost against the Wraiths. The Hawks pulled off an upset against Arizona, and the Otters handled business.
In week 9, the Yeti lost again! This time to SJS, but this matchup was in Colorado, so it was quite baffling. The Wraiths lost on the road but the Outlaws handled business.
In week 10, The Yeti lost again, this time to a much more formidable foe, the Otters. The Wraiths put up the first 40 burger in the season. Outlaws continued their winning ways.
Week 11 marked a change in the tide. The Outlaws lost to the Yeti, who got back on track, or did they? SJS and Baltimore both lost, no surprise there.
Week 12 was where playoff picture was in the mind for some teams. Wraiths and Yeti were competing for the 1st seed, and Outlaws and Otters too, in the other conference. Wraiths, Outlaws and SJS all won.
Week 13 involved some of the big teams winning, Outlaws, Wraiths and Otters.
entering week 14, the final regularualr season week, the Yeti had gone 1-4 in their last 5 games. They were a game behind the Wraiths, and if they beat them in the season finale, they would go get the first seed. That's exactly what they did. Arizona had clinched the 1st seed, so it didn't matter to them. San Jose and the Hawks were competing for the 1st overall draft pick. Hawks finished with a 5 game losing streak.
The playoffs featured 2 week 16 rematches. The Outlaws had the home field advantage this time, and worked the Otters, winning 36-13, one of the largest margins of victory all year. Mike Boss did not come to play. throwing 4 interceptions. Vincent Draxel did enough to get his team to the win, relying on splash plays from his defense and special teams. This game was just 15-13, Arizona leading, with 3 mins left in the game, but a 97 yard kickoff TD plus back to back interceptions by OCO, one returned for a TD, made it look like a blowout. The Wraiths and Colorado game was also low scoring, but the Wraiths just had no answer on offense, generating near 200 yards, which is barely anything. The Colorado defense was shutdown, and held them to 6 points.
The Ultimus was somewhat of a blowout. The Outlaws continued their dominance, completely shutting down Colorado's offense. The strong Colorado defense just had no answer for the Outlaws, and let up 16 unanswered points within the first 20 minutes of play. They couldn't stop the bleeding in the second half, and Arizona held on to win the game.
Well, there you have it, our season 1 review, with Arizona taking the championship. The Yeti's free fall here is something noteworthy I'd say
