Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point
Ah, the usual ASFC Conference Championship game matchup, Orange County Otters at Arizona Outlaws. Yet again, Mike Boss leads the Otters into the playoffs, hoping to knock down King Bronko and the Outlaws in a clash of rivals.
Statistically, Mike Boss blew everyone out of the water this past season. Boss leads the league in pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, passing completion percentage, touchdown passes and quarterback rating. An unprecedented year by statistical standards that will likely lead to Boss receiving the MVP award for the season.
On the other sideline, we've got King Bronko. Statistically, he doesn't hold a candle to Boss in anything but QB rating, coming in second by a narrow margin. Bronko leads a much more balanced offense, so his attempts, completions and yards are a ways behind Boss, but Bronko does possess a very respectable TD:INT ratio.
These two will face off in the Solis Cup to see who will represent the ASFC in the Ultimus, and either would likely be favored in the championship against the NSFC contender. The Outlaws are at home, boasting a 13-1 record and are heavy favorites. The Otters are pulling out all the stops, trying anything and everything to give them a shot at climbing out of the hole the Outlaws have them in. Will this be the year of the Otter?
Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series. Can be completed at any point.
Jaylon Lee of the Arizona Outlaws has been one of the best linebackers in the league since he was drafted in the inaugural season one draft of the NSFL. Ian Bavitz, the linebacker for the Orange County Otters has been steadily working in the shadows trying to make a name for himself and get into the conversation for best linebacker.
Ian Bavitz quietly had a very good season, recording 111 tackles, six of those were behind the line of scrimmage for a loss. He forced a fumble and saw a drop-off in sacks this year. Eight sacks is still respectable for a linebacker but is a far cry from his previous season total of 12. Bavitz really stepped up in pass defense this year, recording two interceptions and 7 passes knocked down.
Jaylon Lee, on the other hand, took a step back in terms of tackles, recording only 88 on the season, with four of those being tackles for loss. He forced and recovered a fumble, and recorded eleven sacks this year, a nice boost to the already dominant Outlaw defense. He wasn't able to come down with an interception this year, but did record eleven passes defensed.
Both players had good seasons, and both will likely be heading to the pro-bowl this year to represent the ASFC.
Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point
It's that time of year again, playoff football! In a league of eight, only four teams can claim their tickets to the dance. The other four teams are left to sit on their couches for another playoffs and long, drawn-out offseason. Of these four teams, two have some very obvious deficiencies, while one has an uphill battle, but the slope isn't too steep. Our last lonely team narrowly missed punching their ticket to the playoffs.
The Colorado Yeti are possibly the saddest case in the NSFL this year. The team came under new management, and they quickly staged what could only be described as a garage sale. Their players were placed on tables with price-tags listing them at fractions of their original purchase price. The fire-sale was quick and efficient, carving a hole into the Yeti's lineup that left them deficient in nearly every facet of the game.
It's hard to say what brought the idea upon the Yeti, but it's not looking good for them. Many of their players were traded for draft picks, and as it turns out, those draft picks don't even exist! The draftee's plane crashed over the Andes and most of them had to cannibalize the others in order to survive. As such, there are only enough left for about three rounds in the upcoming draft. The Yeti will be hurting for talent and there won't be much there to sate it. Colorado stuffed their stocking with picks this year, and many won't come to fruition.
The Las Vegas Legion are in a similar state to the Yeti. A mismanaged front office made some questionable decisions. The General Manager found a decent looking dumpster in Las Vegas and went to work filling it with flammable items. Once pleased with his work, he quickly put it to the torch.
The Legion traded away almost 3 seasons worth of draft picks for players that ended up underperfoming or going inactive, sometimes both. With that GM run out of town, they've moved onto a promising situation. They've inherited a mess, but there's a good chance they'll be able to put out the fire in Las Vegas, it just might take a couple seasons.
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game.
In what has been routine in the ASFC, the Orange County Otters traveled to Arizona to take on the defending champion Outlaws. Keeping with tradition, the Otters put up a fight but fell to the Outlaws and were swiftly booted from the playoff picture. The final score was a pitiful 27-7 in favor of the Outlaws, and Ian Bavitz's performance went unrecognized as he missed out on defensive player of the game. Bavitz left it all out on the field, ending the day with 9 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed and an interception. He lost out on DPOG to a measly 8 tackle 2 sack performance by Luechly.
However, in a minor scandal, it was found that the Otters had been improperly prepared for the game. After a rematch, the Outlaws still emerged victorious, winning in a slightly more respectful 41-27 victory. In official records, the 27-7 game will remain.
On the NSFC side, the surprising second year team Philadelphia Liberty traveled to Baltimore to take on the Hawks. The Liberty performed admirably throughout the regular season to reach the playoffs, then seemingly gave up once the games mattered. The Liberty were embarrassed to the tune of a 34-3 trouncing at the beaks of the Hawks.
The Hawks then traveled to Arizona to be blown out even worse by the Outlaws. The Outlaws ended their third Ultimus Championship with a 49-12 drubbing of the Hawks. Hopefully, somebody will emerge as a viable threat to the Outlaws dominance in season four.
Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game.
In a game as lopsided as the season three Ultimus Championship, it is quite difficult to pick a single play that qualifies as 'best'. The Outlaws put Hawks on the endangered species list to the tune of 49-12. There wasn't a single facet of the Hawks team that performed admirably enough to deserve a win in Arizona. Hendrix and Harrison tried to stem the bleeding, but there wasn't much to do when the Outlaws severed the Hawks jugular by intercepting five of Scrub Qyubee's passes, returning one for a touchdown.
That play might be the where the Hawks realized they were in over their heads. It was still early, and they were facing a 10 point deficit when Franklin Harris Jr. stepped in front of a pass and took it to the house, indicating the Hawks were done for good. Harris Jr., son of disgraced linebacker Franklin Harris made a big step towards getting out from his father's tarnished reputation. Stepping in front of that pass just might have been his single greatest step out of the past, as he pushes the troubles of having a murderous father out of his thoughts and makes a break for the endzone. Continuing his excellent game, Harris Jr. managed another interception in the third quarter. He was all over the field, recording seven tackles and 3 passes defensed on top of his two interceptions.
