Compare one offensive player from each team in a series
All season, Orange County Otters QB and the leading Offensive Player of the Year candidate Mike Boss had been considered the consensus best QB in the league, and his gaudy stats made it hard to argue against that title. However, near the end of the season, Outlaws QB King Bronko made a huge push towards Boss and his throne. This made the Otter versus Outlaws semifinals games very interesting, as both teams had strong QB play.
However, in the end, Bronko was able to do much more damage against the Otters defense than Boss was able to do versus the Outlaws defense, which isnt really much of a surprise considering how strong the Outlaws defense is. Bronko went 24/38 for a 63.2 completion rate with 344 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, ending up with a QB rating for 90.2 and 14.3 yards per catch. Boss, however, went 19/43 for a 44.2 completion rate with 236 yards, 1 TD and 2 Ints, finishing with a QB rating of 50.1 and 12.4 yards per catch. Although Boss did have to go against a much better defense, its not very hard to state that Bronko easily outplayed Boss in this pivotal game.

Compare one defensive player from each team in a series.
One of the big battles of the Philadelphia Liberty versus the Baltimore Hawks was the battles of the defenses, as both teams boasted top 4 defenses led by the strength of their pass rushes and defensive tackles. The Liberty boasted Mark Ramiro, the best defensive tackle of season 2, who the Liberty traded 3 picks for, while the Hawks had Season 3 first round pick and rookie Ricardo Sandoval, who had been excellent all season. If either team were going to dominate, it would need to be on the back of their defensive tackles. And one defensive tackle dominated.
Sandoval showed off the chops that had the Hawks make him a first rounder, and dominated the porous Liberty offensive line all day. He single handedly managed 3 tackles, a tackle for a loss, and 2 sacks, while his ability to command pressure helped Harrison rack up 2 sacks and a forced fumble and Owen Taylor rack up 3 sacks. All in All, Sandoval's pressure allowed the Hawks to get a insane 10 sacks on Liberty QB Clifford Rove, turning his jersey so green the Sabercats thought Rove was Ethan Hunt.
Ramiro on the other hand had a much lower impact. With 3 tackles and a single sack, Ramiro was unable to pressure Hawks QB Scrub Kyubee enough to stop the Hawks blowout.

Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs.
When the season first started, the Colorado Yeti seemed like a serious contender for the playoffs. They had barely missed out in season 2, thanks to a disheartening loss to the Legion. But they looked strong this season, bolstering their offensive line with the #1 overall pick in Antonio Sandoval helping protect the NSFL leader in TPE, Logan Noble. But then, the dominoes came crashing down. First was the very questionable decision to trade star cornerback Phillipe Carter and defensive end Big Bot for defensive back Vash Erikson, star wide receiver Mayran Jackson and a season 4 second. Big Bot has been productive for the Outlaws and Carter has broken out in season 3, combining with season 3 first rounder and rookie Franklin Harris Jr to become one of the best 1-2 CB pairs in the league, while Erikson has been decent, Jackson was traded to San Jose, and the season 4 draft looks atrocious. Then the Noble scandal hit, and Colorado had to scramble to get a replacement QB, ultimately deciding on rookie QB Nicholas Pierno, whos rookie campaign was horrid to say the least.
As for the Legion, they arent a very good team. QB Berc isnt the answer. They need a lot more help.

Tell us which team made the playoffs and shouldn't have, or which team didn't and should have?
By every account, the Wraiths shouldve made the playoffs. They were the most talented team in the league by TPE count, boasted the best 1-2 WR pair in the league by TPE, and had one of the best QBs in the league behind one of the best offensive lines in the NSFL. They boasted a good defense, and with Maddox moving to DE from Tight end, should gotten even better. Every single sign in the preseason of season 3 indicated the Wraiths were a playoff team, and most people believe they would be the number 1 seed from the NSFC.
However, its been shown that TPE count isnt everything. Despite having a better point differential than every single team in the NSFC, they only finished 7-7, a mediocre and inconsistent season which was best exemplified the critical loss to the Sabercats when the Wraiths COULD NOT afford a loss to get to the playoffs. Then they proceeded to beat down the second best team in the league in the Otters in a meaningless game that meant nothing to the playoff picture as a whole. Even though this team should have been one of the best in the league, and should have easily made the playoffs by point differential, they couldnt.

Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them.
The Championship game between the Outlaws and the Hawks wasnt very close in any way, and alot of that had to do with the Arizona Outlaws defense, who I believe played so well that they all deserve playoff MVP. One game after KyuBee played well versus the Liberty defense, he was completely embarrased by the Outlaws defense. 12 sacks, 5 ints, and 2 pick sixes. Kyubee was held to just 17/37 passing for a 45.9% completion rate, and 0 TDs for 5 Ints, finishing with a rating of 25.7. The Outlaws D was so dominant it made Rove's date with the grass look like a great day for him. Seriously heres s summary of the Hawks first half drives. Punt, Punt, FG, iNT, Punt. They went 3/18 on third down conversions, and had 5 turnovers to 0 from the Outlaws. Farlane averaged just 2.4 yards per run, and if not for a meaningless TD late in the game, would not have had a single TD. Baltimore had been much improved this year, but it seems like the difference between the Arizona Outlaws defense and the rest of the league hasnt changed. They embarrased Kyubee even worse this year, and thus they all deserve to be the MVP of the ultimus.
