1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
The Ultimus game this season was held between the Orange County Otters and the Yellowknife Wraiths. The Wraiths went into the game as the favorites, having been the dominant team all season long and being a team that is far ahead in TPE. They are a really dominant team. But that was not really how the game went. The otherwise stout Wraiths defense immediatley gave up a touchdown on the first drive, a 31 yard pass from Frnaklin Armstrong to Johnny Blaze. At the end of the first quarter, the backup running back Charles Allan added another score, a 3 yard run to make it 13-0 just like that. The Wraiths didn't really recover from this for a long time. Donaldson made it 13-3 before the half, but otherwise they couldn't get anything going. The defense did finally play better on the Wraiths side and held the Otters to 3 points after the first quarter but it was too late. The Nate Swift touchdown in the fourth quarter made the game exciting again, but it was too little too late and the Otters won the game 16-10. Even just one more touchdown would have been enough for YKW but the offense was not capable in this game and ended up turning the ball over too much to win.
7) Next year
The New Orleans Second Line have built a very exciting roster in the last few seasons and are entering a time where they should be contending for championships for a few seasons to come. We have a great active roster with a lot of great players and people. At QB you have myself who is now maxed in the three important categories. At RB you have the best RB in the league in Forrest Gump. WR we have very solid guys in Jones, Bender, Fyodo and Von Matt. We have the best OL guy in the league in Ulysses. On defense, we might be even better. Isa and Faux at DT. Sloth and Bode at LB. Taylor, Andrews, Swift, Rector and Ridley in the backfield. We have a great roster that is only going to get better and we should be ready to be a playoff team next season and compete for a title. We have created a really amazing atmosphere on the team where we can really compete and be active, improve every week. We have actives on most positions of the team, to the point where we almost have no more places to upgrade anymore. We can be really proud of what we have built here.
8) Draft Focus
As detailed above, our roster is already fantastic and doesn't have a lot of holes. If you think about the positions where we struggle, Defensive End comes to mind first and foremost. We had Stokeley playing there this season who obviously retired and so we need to find a replacement there. On top of it, our other Defensive End is Lo Rax, who is deep in regression and might not be great for much longer anymore. We will need to see how we can replace these two guys going forward as they are quite important. On offense, a top WR might not be a bad idea, as Fyodo and Von Matt are both regressing. Though we have Bender and Jones still who are getting better. We don't really have a tight end, so that is another area of need for our team going forward. These are the main spots of where we can improve our team. I think it is obvious that we will try to address some of these issues in the draft now and immediately look for upgrades on these positions. We have three picks in the first round and will be able to also pick two of the top three players so we have a lot of chanceto upgrade in this draft and get some new weapons for the team.

Where do I even start? The New Orleans Second Line were on a great path towards the playoffs. We started off the year strong, even in first place at times in the division. We were playing really well. Gump looked like the obvious MVP candidate, we were simply crushing it all over the place. But then the sim luck turned. Every 50-50 game, where tests showed that we were in a coin flip type game, we ended up losing. Every game where we were the underdog, whether it was close or not, we also ended up losing. Some of them in really close and excrutiating games. Sometimes the offense worked, sometimes the defense. We had great games, even against YKW but no luck in wins. I think our record was worse than what our team is really capable of. I think next season we will be a much tougher candidate and we won't have insanely bad luck again hopefully and win some closer games. I also think we will be favorites more often and get to dominate some games again. This season was sadly dispapointing in the end, we were on such a good run and then the sim just decided it didn't like us anymore. Next season will be better!
