Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
Bronko vs Boss. Two of the biggest name QBs in the NSFL, and meeting in the postseason again, as the Otters look to finally knock off the beast that blocks their way, while the Outlaws look to cruise to another title. Boss will have to put the team on his back and avoid the defense that causes nightmares to all, While Bronko is just told to go have fun by his coaches. Boss has been the best QB this season, and may have had the best season a QB has had in the 3 seasons the league has existed, he has the tools around him, he has a team worthy of the Ultimus Trophy next to him in the locker room and standing by his side on the field. He has shown that he is the best QB in the league, but he has not shown that he can lead the Otters to victory against the Outlaws, losing in all but one meeting. Bronko is just looking to have fun, he has already shown he can lead the team to victory, and with a team like the Outlaws, it is hard to see them not winning their 3rd straight Ultimus title. Bronko can end up cruising to another title, or Boss could end up winning where he has had trouble, but we won’t know for sure until the two titans clash in the ASFC Championship. (235 words)
Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
Antoine Delacour and Tyler Oles, 2 of the best CBs in the league right now. Both are their teams top CB, and both strike fear into the heart of all QBs who oppose them. When you look at interception leaders, you can surely find these two players at the top of the list, as Oles finished the season with 7 interceptions, while Delacour was right behind with 6 interceptions. What Delacour lacks in that one interception he more than makes up for in PDs, as he 12 more PDs than the Liberty’s top CB, finishing the season with 24 compared to 12 for Oles. When you think of playmakers for the Hawks, Delacour surely jumps out, as the CB could be considered the best in the league as he is at or near the top in tackles, interceptions, and PDs. The Liberty have their own playmaking CB in Oles, who has many memorable interceptions in his time already, one of which sealed the Liberty’s first victory ever in S2. That’s the past though, and this season Oles had 7 interceptions, he is able to stop you when it matters most, and helps his defense out as they know the opponent’s top WR will have a hard time on the line with Oles.

Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point
The Yeti and Legion, the bottom 2 teams in the league and frankly, the easiest 2 teams to write about for this prompt. The Yeti are on the bottom for a reason, after the Noble scandal rocked the league, they cleaned house, they went into a rebuild mode that saw them replace Noble at QB, but still saw him as help on the team. They traded players for an abundance of picks, and sacrificed the team they had now in an effort to prepare for the future and have a better team down the road. They’re gambling on the future, hoping that something good comes out of the biggest scandal of the season. As for the Legion they are on a much different side of the ball. They are still suffering from paying Berc all that money, and from building through the expansion draft of S2 and through the trash other teams did not want. Seeing Varga retire and step down as GM could see good things come in the future, as now new management will be taking hold of the Legion, and they may have a different view on the future and on the draft. We’ll have to see where these 2 teams end up a few seasons from now, and see if the GMs in charge are able to help the teams reach new levels in the future. (230 words)
Root for the Underdog: Pick an away team in an upcoming game and try to convince yourself (and us) why they can win. (Must be completed before the playoff series you write about)
You know what’s coming, of course I’m gonna tell you why the Liberty are going to pull off the upset. Look at the team, a stellar defense, a rising offense, and special teams that could knock your socks off. The Defense features stars such as Oles, Hackett, Jefferson, Ramrio, and many other names that would just make the list to long to bother. This defense has come into their own in S2 as a unit (as the Liberty are an expansion team, this is their 2nd season), and there are many players on this defense that as a unit create one of the nastiest units in the league, second only to the Outlaws in my opinion. Now we know the defense is a top tier unit, but what about the offense. The offense was cause for concern going into the season, we all knew the defense was poised to be a top unit, but the offense had no quarterback, and outside of a few names was lackluster. The offensive line was nothing to write home about, as they could have been considered the worst in the league in S2. They really stepped their game up, Kroetch came into his own, and Clifford Rove, the rookie, really started to play well as the season went on. Don’t be surprised if this team can go into the Aviary and walk out NSFC champions, and don’t be surprised to see them hosting a playoff game next season. (244 words)
Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
Franklin Harris Jr was easily the most valuable player for the Outlaws in the Ultimus championship game. With 7 tackles, 3 PDs, 2 interceptions, and 1 td, he was a force in the final game, limiting the Hawks and taking advantage of Kyubee’s bad throws. He was able to score an early touchdown, which put the Outlaws up 14-3 in the first quarter, and gave them all they needed to win the final game of the year. He put the game out of reach for the Hawks, which is crazy to think about considering 14-3 isn’t a score that is typically out of reach for opponents. He helped this defense do what it did all year, and he did what he had done all year as well, dominating his matchups and making the QB pay in any way. The rookie showed that he is going to be a top flight CB throughout his career, and a premier defender added to the long list of premier defenders for the Outlaws. He’s another reason why this team may be unstoppable, and if those reasons keep growing the league may have to do something about it sooner rather than later, but for now he will continue to be a great young CB on the rise.
