While Orlando Doom may be new to the DSFL and to the Kansas City Coyotes, he's no stranger to football- after all, he is immortal. He's made his fair share of mistakes both on and off the field. In his early years of playing football, around thirty years ago, Doom struggled with one thing in particular: he kept accidentally popping the ball with his fangs. Obviously, this caused quite the upset amongst his teammates, coaches, and spectators of the game, but he just couldn't help it. What's the use of playing when you know the ball is going to be deflated by halftime? As his football career progressed, Doom learned from his mistakes and invested in a high quality mouth guard to protect not only his pearly whites, but the football. In his future career with the Coyotes (or any team,) Orlando will make frequent appointments with his orthodontist and dentist to avoid more accidental ball deflations.
I think both QBs in the Chicago and Philadelphia game are going to scrub moments from the game out of their head. In the final game of the regular season Ryan Negs and Kazimir Oles JR combined to throw 5 interceptions, in which Negs threw a pick 6, and Oles threw two pick 6s. While Oles managed to escape with a 100.6 rating and a win, Negs was not so lucky as his 3 interceptions and 22/40 day earned him a 35.2 rating. Oles lucked out that he still had a solid day outside of the interceptions, throwing 29/44 with 340 yards and 4 TDs, but in his mind it was absolutely not a good day. Never do you want to spot your opponents 14 points, especially when they were down 42-17 at the time, turning the score to 42-34 as Philadelphia also added a field goal kick with the two pick 6s. Both QBs helped the other team out a lot, and it was a day in which the absurd was realistic and picks were flying through the sky.

Realistically there have probably been quite a few different times where Tyler Montain could have performed better. Anywhere from blowing coverage, missing a tackle, failing to seal the edge, etc. There are a lot of different ways it can and has happened. A specific time, though? I can not think of one without spending time going back through games to find one as I can not think of anything off the top of my head. There are plenty of situations where Montain has likely missed a tackle that ended up going all the way as well as likely many times where he failed to defend a pass that went for big yardage. With Montain, there are even other options. He spent a season returning kick offs and may have failed to gain enough yards on a drive for a successful outcome or he could have even fumbled the ball on one of them. I do not remember specifically, but it very well could have happened.
Thank you to @enigmatic, @Kyamprac, @mithrandir, @Mooty99, and @Number 82 for some of the sigs in this rotator.
The Bondi Beach Buccaneers are currently in a 1 in 4 playoffs scenario. To make the playoffs Bondi Beach need both of the following to happen: Bondi Beach wins their game, Dallas Birddogs lose their game. But Bondi Beach would not be in this scenario if we had just won one of the last 2 losses, both of which were by a single point. The offense completely shut down in the first game, managing to put up just 9 points in total. The leading receiver had just 45 yards, the leading rusher had 60. That was with the defense generating 2 turnovers, and not having a turnover the entire game. In the second one point loss, there was more offense, but more turnovers. The defense also had no answer for wide receiver Armstrong as he had 9 catches for 168 yards. The offense had 4 turnovers total that game, 2 of which were interceptions, the other 2 were lost fumbles.
In a year where Penne shattered his career highs in pretty much every offensive category, going from 623 to 981 yards and 2 TDs to 9 TDs, there was one big moment that was a major mistake in an otherwise stellar year. It was week 14 against the conference leading Honolulu Hahalua in the middle of a playoff push while we were on a hot streak. Down 7-3 late in the first half with the ball in the red zone, I catch a pass at the 7 and immediately fumble and it is not recovered by my team. This opened the door for Honolulu to possibly score a touchdown at the end of the half and the beginning of the next half to crack open a 21-3 lead. By one and only career fumble could've completely cost us this game. Fortunately for me, my defense stepped up and got stops on both of those possessions and we went on to win the game.
Believe it or not, every player in the International Simulation Football League makes their fair share of mistakes over the course of an entire International Simulation Football League regular season, this includes even some of the game's best players, such as future hall of fame wider receiver Jackson Kingston, who plays for the Sarasota Sailfish. Jackson Kingston has made his fair share of mistakes over the years, but especially in the past season, he has been especially mistake prone. Why, you may ask? Well, the answer is simple, and it can be chalked up to one underlying factor - father time. Kingston still has the mindset of a 25 year old wide receiver capable of leading the league in receiving stats, but he has the aging body of a 35 year old who visits LA Fitness once or twice a week to do aerobics. As a result, Kingston sometimes tries to do too much with the ball and ends up costing his team.
Well, if the Austin Copperheads could pinpoint a reason for missing the playoffs, it all comes down to one big mistake: They never learned how to play defense this season. The Austin offense trotted out a unique system this year with two QBs both playing. They scored a conference high 494 points, and only Chicago was higher overall. They could score, for sure. But the old bum Daytona and the young bum Eighty Two both routinely gave the ball back to the other team, combing for 16 interceptions. That didn’t help either. But it’s the trash defense that allowed 431 points this season, rendering most high scoring games by the offense moot. Of their 9 losses, the offense scored at least 22 points in 7 of them. Some they were in the 30s, but the terrible defense more than made up for it. 5 of the 9 losses saw Austin giving up 30 points or more. Needless to say, that doesn’t lead to wins. And that’s the biggest mistake Austin made all season. No defense. (175)
In the second game of the season Will Stern had a very costly personal foul for roughing the quarterback for OCO. It was the 2nd half and we were only down one score. We needed a big stop to get the ball back to our offense. Just as their offense crossed the 50, we made two consecutive stops to bring it to third down. They decided to call a pass play on third and long. Will Stern got some good pressure, forcing the QB to make a quick throw. The ball fell incomplete, however, Will Stern got called for roughing the passer. It led to a TD drive for the opposing team, and the defense had trouble stopping them the rest of the game. There was a similar time in the middle of the season Will Stern had the exact same situation occur almost, however it was a neutral zone infraction penalty instead. Will Stern made some boneheaded mistakes that cost my team some big things this season, I won’t lie. He didn’t play nearly as dumb last season.
