That Magic Moment: Pick one moment from a playoff game and describe what made it so amazing to watch. (Must be completed after the game you write about unless you saw the sim in advance)
Picture this, your team is up by ten. It's thirteen to three in the second quarter. The opposing team just put up their first points of the game with a field goal to shift the momentum ever so slightly. Perhaps you might imagine that it might just turn into a real game. You were starting to get away with it at thirteen to nothing, but here they are, having driven down the field and put up a field goal. How exactly do you drive that dagger in deeper, then? How do you suck every bit of momentum out of what they just accomplished? Sure, a touchdown works, but not if it takes a couple three and outs or an interception. The most painful way to torture that opposing team is to score right away. Without even letting their defense back on the field right away, I mean. That's exactly what Trey Willie did for the Hawks. As he took it out of the endzone (which some coaches might question) and he proceeded to shed a tackle, get behind his blockers, and take it for a 103 yard return to the house. Trey Willie was that dagger. The crowd was fanatic, the Hawks were euphoric, and the commentator went wild. It was a magic moment.
New Talent: Write about which S3 trade will or did have the biggest impact in the playoffs. Can be written at any time depending on if you choose to write about who already has or who will do good
None. That's how many characters you'll find in the first name of the biggest new talent in the playoffs. Traded in season 3 to the Hawks from the Las Vegas Legion, Stormblessed has had a profound impact on the Baltimore Hawks offense. His insane amount of speed allows them to push safeties back deep while their rookie threat Trey Willie tears apart the offense on slant routes slants, par the course of O'Dell Beckham.
He has done more than just improve their offense though. As Stormblessed is the fastest man in the league, he's been placed on kick return duties and he very often puts the Hawks in excellent field position. Special teams, Wide Receiver, hell, he could succeed as a pass catching running back if he wanted to. Stormblessed is pushing the meaning of what it means to be a game changer. When people have to game plan specifically around you and the absolute game changing plays you can make, it takes the focus off of some other key elements. To name a few, rookie Trey Willie, veteran Darlane Farlane, struggling QB Scrub Kyubee. Leaving these people all open to do as they can with limited resistance is very dangerous and that is evidenced by the absolute blowout in Baltimore against Philly.

Consider this. The best wide receiver in the NSFL isn't significantly better than the tenth. One might think that sounds outrageous initially. But take a look longer than only a moment at the stat sheet. No, not the receiver's stats, but the quarterback's. You'll find Westfield excels past Evans in many categories, such as yards, touchdowns, and receptions, but what you'll see comparing Bronko to boss is this, that Bronko had a nearly identical passing rating compared with boss, he simply didn't pass as frequently. In fact, he threw more than a hundred fewer passes than boss did, so when you see that Westfield has only 20 more receptions, you wonder, could Evans have received a fifth of the target share? Absolutely he could have. And what about when it comes to touchdowns? Westfield has 12 to Evans 5. There's no way that Evans would have caught him there. Perhaps you're right, but that's likely because most frequently the Outlaws would run the ball. Mackworthy had a much higher volume than the Otters running back, Burnsman. Despite Burnsman's high touchdown numbers, Mackworthy ran much more frequently. Burnsman could simply be found vulturing touchdowns. Westfield and Evans are more separated by opportunity than anything in my opinion.
Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
Delacour has been nothing short of stout for the Hawks this season, managing an impressive 6 interceptions and 24 pass deflections. These are absolutely indicative of a corner that you want playing on your team. But let's not forget the second corner for the Outlaws, Franklin Harris Jr who fared arguably better than Delacour did this season. He notched a league high 8 interceptions and only 3 fewer pass deflections than Delacour managed. However, let's look at the Outlaws and Hawks game in the Ultimus to get a better view of how they reach performed against one another's wide receivers.
7 tackles, 3 pass deflections, 2 interceptions, and partridge in a pear tree. And by partridge I mean touchdown. That's the early Christmas that Harris Jr brought to the desert this year. He absolutely destroyed the offense and was a shutdown corner without a doubt.
On the other hand, Delacour came away with productive, but much less impressive stats than Harris Jr did. He managed only 2 tackles and 3 pass deflections in the game. To be fair, the Hawks defense as a whole made a lot of good plays absolutely shutting Bronko down for the first half. Most of the Outlaws points came on the back of their defense.
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
First off, the Otters took on the dreaded Arizona Outlaws in Outlaws territory. As if they weren't scary enough, the Outlaws hadn't lost at home since back in season one, save for week 12 when they neglected to gameplan to save some of their secrets for the playoffs.
Ultimately, it paid off, as they ended up taking home the 27-7 victory against the staggering Otters offense. The highlight of the game was certainly the Outlaws defense holding boss, arguably the league MVP to a humble 49 QB rating. That's his worst game in a long time.
Second game up, the Liberty travel to Baltimore where they last lost 13-10. This game was promised to be a nail biter as the Liberty and Rove had made significant strides, although the Hawks had acquired stormblessed. It turned out to be much less exciting than it was initially believed to be. Rove couldn't stand up as he was sacked again and again. In the end, the porous liberty line lost them the game by an astounding 31 points.
Lastly, as the Ultimus hype reached its peak, the Hawks who had just blown out the Liberty faced the Outlaws who had also decimated their opponents. As supposed titans clashed, one fell very very quickly to the stout defense of Arizona. The Hawks lost a heart breaker, a soul breaker even, 49 - 12 only scoring a touchdown in the final couple minutes.
