1. Offensive Comparison
In the NSFC Conference Championship game, there should be a solid quarterback battle between Yellowknife Wraiths QB Chris Orosz and Baltimore Hawks QB Scrub Kyubee. These two quarterbacks have established themselves as 2 of the leagues top 8 quarterbacks at least. It should be quite the competition to see who can lead there team to the victory. Orosz has shown himself to be the best QB in the league for this season, and Kyubee has not disappointed either. Orosz led the league in Completions, Yards,
Completion Percentage and Rating. Although Kyubee has been a little inconsistent at times, overall he is a fairly good quarterback. His 14:15 Touchdown to Interception Ratio is not good at all, but he threw over 50% Completion and Over 3000 yards. I will have to give the win in this battle to Orosz. He is not only the best QB in this matchup, but the best in the league. He is a legitimate MVP Candidate, and if anyone can stop the defending champions the Outlaws, it will be his Wraiths. Orosz and his favorite target Josh Garden have a great offensive duo that may be enough to get past the Outlaws an get the gold.
2. Defensive Comparison
In the ASFC Championship Game, there will be an interesting cornerback battle between Arizona Outlaws CB, Isaiah Rashad and Orange County Otters CB Anthony Petrakis. Both had stellar seasons at the Cornerback position, and I will now compare them to see who had the better season. Isaiah Rashad had 6 Interceptions, 19 Pass Deflections, 60 Tackles, a Touchdown, and A forced fumble. Petrakis had 2 Interceptions, 16 Pass deflections, and 66 tackles. The win here obviously goes to Rashad. Despite the good numbers put up by Petrakis, they are not even close to what is being presented by Rashad. The only factor that appears to be a strength on Petrakis side, can also be viewed as a weakness for the CB position. Tackles from a CB position can be viewed as the CB allowing the Wide Receiver to catch the ball, and then having to stop them from scoring. The 6 extra tackles that Petrakis have could be explained by the 3 less deflections he has and the 4 less interceptions. Probably not those exact moments, but it does show that Receivers will catch the ball more when guarded by Petrakis than Rashad. That is why I chose Rashad over Petrakis.
3. Bottom Half
With this piece, I will look at the two opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to teams that did not make the playoffs. I will show why the Colorado Yeti, the team closest to making the playoffs, and the Legion, the worst team in the league, did not make the playoffs. The Colorado Yeti controversially did not make the playoffs due to the tiebreaker system that values Points Scored over Point Differential. The Yeti have a High Powered defense, and not so much on the offensive end. There offense needs work, particularly their Offensive Line. The weakest part of an otherwise strong team cost them a spot in the NSFL Playoffs. As for the Legion, there will be growing pains for any Expansion team. But god was this team bad. There were some shining lights in the dark, such as Running Back Ardie Savea, but for the near future, this team dies not seem to be in a good place. The GM could turn this team around, but it will be hard without their draft picks there. These are the reasons why the Colorado Yeti and the Las Vegas Legion did not make the NSFL playoffs this year.
4. Future Talent
So I am writing this in between the Championship games and the Ultimus game, so I will do which S3 rookie will have the biggest impact in the Ultimus game. I believe that Godfrey King of the Arizona Outlaws will have the biggest impact for the Ultimus game. I believe the Defensive Tackle will make his presence felt, and abuse the Hawks offensive line. Scrub Kyubee will be forced to make throws he does not want to, like he has been all season, leading to interceptions. He will also make sure that Darlane Farlane, the real threat on the Hawks squad, is held to a minimum amount of yards. While is is hard to stop Farlane, I do believe that King could hold a major part in containing the star running back. Do I feel like he will be the Ultimus MVP? No, That would be crazy, he is not even technically a rookie yet. However, I do believe that when all is said and done, people will be shocked by the performance put together by King. This is why I believe that Godfrey King will be the S3 rookie that makes the biggest impact in the NSFL Ultimus Game.
5. Playoff Series MVP
In my opinion, the MVP of the NSFC Conference Championship game was Baltimore Hawks QB, Scrub Kyubee. He threw 34 completions on 51 attempts. He threw 336 yards and a touchdown. He may have throw an interception, but he also definitely helped his team. He had an 83.5 Rating in the game. Even though the Hawks had home field advantage, many saw this as an upset for the Hawks, as their opponents , the Yellowknife Wraiths, had one of, if not the best, QB in the league, Chris Orosz. However, Kyubee held his own out on the field and showed that he could hang with the elite quarterbacks of the league. In the second quarter, he threw a beautiful 8 yard touchdown to Matthew Vincent. It was his team's only touchdown, and without it, the Wraiths would have won. If they had to settle for a field goal, then the final score would only be 13-12, Wraiths. Scrub Kyubee really stepped up this game in the NSFC Championship game, and that is why he is my choice for the NSFC Championship Game MVP.
I feel like a shoutout must be given to Levon Novel, who would have been MVP if the Wraiths had won. He had 3 kick returns, totaling 123 yards and a touchdown. That included a 92 yard kick return touchdown.
