Quote:Written Option: The playoffs are just around the corner. For some of us, the siren call of the championship is still within reach; for others, it’s already effectively been put out of reach. In 200 words or more, make the case why your team will be the one to win the Ultimus or Ultimini; or, reflect on how you think your team needs to improve in order to get back into contention next year.
The Baltimore Hawks should win the cup this season. We had one of the most solid offense and defense this season ranking 4th in PA and 3rd in PF. This was in part thanks to the flashy Quarterback wide receiver duo of Havran and Maddox. Havran threw for 32 touchdowns this season and Maddox was on the receiving end of those touchdown passes 14 times this season.
Appolo Reed was also deadly for the offense with 4 rushing touchdowns and 5 receiving touchdowns to boot.
On the defensive side of the ball Acho was top 3 in pass deflections, swatting 19 passes out of the air this season. Together with Green, Acho was also tied for first in interceptions. Green was also tied for first in the league with 3 forced fumbles. Defenseive end bakshi lead the league with tackle for losses racking up 18 over the course of the season.
Baldari was one of only 3 players this season to block a punt.
The Hawks will have home field advantage in the conference final against the Wraiths and then depending on their own conference final and the ASFC conference final they will have to play the Otters away, but if the Second line beats the Otters they will take on the Second Line in Baltimore.
It's the Hawks time to shine though, so no matter who the opponent they know it's a game they want to win.
