Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series.
Bubba Nuck and Darlane Farlane, 2 of the top RBs in the league played against each other in the Glacies Trophy game. The 2 premier RBs did what they do every game, they provided a good opportunity to their team in the form of a good RB and a good game. First, for the winning team, Farlane compiled 101 yards on 31 attempts. Much like his whole season, he was fed well and often in his 101 yard performance. He did not see end zone in his performance, which is a bit disheartening for the top RB, as the only touchdown for the Hawks came off of a TD pass. As for Nuck, he didn’t do as well but still had a respectable game. He ran for 78 yards on 27 attempts, and like Farlane, he did not see the end zone in his performance. It seems as if the whole offense was out of sync in the NSFC title game, as the high powered offense was held in check the whole game, with their only TD coming from a kick return. Farlane was certainly the better RB in this matchup, as he averaged 3.3 yards per carry compared to Nuck’s 2.9 yards per carry, slightly edging out the top S1 RB. (212 words)
Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series.
Franklin Harris of the Otters, Jaylon Lee of the Outlaws, when you think of the league’s top LBs, these are some of the first names to come to mind. Both dominant LBs help their defenses in any way possible, whether it’s a tackle machine or sack machine, getting PDs or fumbles, just doing anything they can in order to help their team win. First I’ll start with Jaylon Lee, the LB for the victorious Outlaws. He amassed 5 tackles, 1 sack and 1 PD, which is sort of an off game for him, considering the caliber of his play. He still clearly helped his team out, and helped the defense stop one of the better offenses in the NSFL. As for Harris, he compiled 11 tackles, 2 sacks, and 1 PD. This is clearly a better performance, and he did a lot to help his team, even though they would ultimately lose to the Outlaws. His performance should not go unnoticed, as he was able to penetrate the line with ease, and keep players in check in order to keep his team in the game. Harris had the better performance, even though he did not win the game, he did everything he could to help his team, and had one of the best performances of the year, and the playoffs. (220 words)
Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs.
I could easily talk about San Jose and Las Vegas here. The two teams that were abysmal throughout the year, the two teams that did not show any glimmer of hope as the season progressed, and never really had a shot at contending for a playoff spot. Instead I believe it is better to talk about why the Yeti and Liberty were unable to make the playoffs. First the Liberty, the team that had to pick up a year late (along with the Legion) and had to build from scratch through the draft. The team has a rising defense, with a great secondary that got better as the season progressed. On the other side of the ball however, the offense was not that good outside of 3 or 4 guys. The offensive line was horrible, and the QB left something to be desired. This led to a lot of games where drives constantly stalled and left the defense out to dry, and caused the Liberty to not make the playoffs. As for the Yeti they got screwed, plain and simple. They got screwed by a tiebreaker that should not have been. Who knows how different the playoffs would have gone, but I do know that the Yeti should stay competitive in the NSFC, and missing the playoffs this year seemed to be a fluke due to weird tiebreaker rules.

Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them
The Ultimus Championship MVP is none other than Christiano Ronaldo. Yes, the Outlaws kicker had the mvp performance in what turned into a slaughter of the Hawks. I could have gone with Reg Mackworthy, who had a good game, I could have pointed out Chess with his good game as well. I could have brought up the 2 players who sacked Kyubee in the end zone for safeties, but no, instead I want to bring light to an underrated position, 1 that has an impact on almost every score. Why go with Ronaldo here? It’s simple, he provided 17 points for the Outlaws, more than any of his teammates did. He also was useful in his 5 punts, average 51 yards per punt on 5 punts, with a total of 255 yards in the punting game. He was able to pin them deep and not allow them a short field, and that should be commended. With his 5 field goals, 1 from under 20, and the other 3 from 30-39 yards out, he was a reliable point getter and his points alone would have led them to a 15-6 lead, as he kicked 5 field goals. This is why a kicker, not the QB, not the RB, not anyone else, deserves the title of MVP. (215 words)
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups
In the NSFC championship, the Wraiths and Hawks faced each other for a chance at the Ultimus Game and Trophy. It was a game not detached from controversy, much like the Hawks season itself, when it was found out that there was some deer antler spray used by Erasmo Broadway in order to buff up his game. We don’t know how much it mattered in the end, with the Hawks winning 16-14, and winning the Glacies trophy. In the ASFC championship game, the Outlaws and Otters played a close game, with the Otters providing one of the best fights of the season with the Outlaws. They were able to keep up with the Otters the whole way, but couldn’t quite close the gap and beat the Outlaws. The Outlaws would go on to win 17-13, on their way to their second consecutive Solis trophy victory. The Ultimus game was not a close fight. There was nothing good about this game for the Hawks, and this was not a pretty sight for Hawks fans and players. The team did not do well, they did not put up a fight, and ultimately the defending champs could not be stopped on their way to a second Ultimus trophy victory. The Outlaws demolished the Hawks, winning 33-6. (213 words)
