6) The playoffs have finally arrived. Choose one playoff team that is not your own from either league and recount how they got here in 400 words or more. What challenges and hurdles did they face in the regular season? Did they cruise into home field advantage or have to fight off contenders for the wild card? Are they led by MVP players on offense, or is a stifling defense the engine to their success? Don’t be afraid to go deep.
The Kansas City Coyotes had a tough last season. Although they battled for a playoff spot until the very last game of the regular season, they lost and ended up with the 1st overall pick. So that‘s something. After having kept almost all of the players from last season, they had to only fill a few spots due to the banishing of inactive players. They did well in the draft, and added some really good prospects to their roster. Asher Montain replaced call up Son Goku at DE, and Brach Thomaslacher filled a glaring hole at LB. With GM pick Joshua Campbell, they also added a WR to give Reginald Covington III more targets. To tighten the line, LeBong Simwell was added at DT. The pick of RB Sergio Kitchens added some spicyness to their rushing attack, as he would be perfect to team up with Kevin Fakon.
The team looked like a well rounded team before the season. The success didn‘t come easy though, as other teams also had a great roster built. In the NFC, Kansas City and Lonon were seen as the favorites at the beginning of the season. After a couple of games, the favorite role went straight to the Coyotes, as the London Royals had a desastrous start into the season. Kanasas City played really good, and were at 3-1 after week 4. The first loss at home that season came against the Dallas Birddogs in a close matchup, which KC lost 14-15. It has to be said that the Birddogs defensive strategy blitz rate wasn‘t updated in that game, therefore they ran Nickel 50 – an illegal amount of blitz rate for this formation – on some downs. Nevertheless the game counted, and set back the Coyotes to 3-2. The following stretch of games was a strong one for the Coyotes. In 5 games, they only lost 1 game, and found themselves on top of the divsion and in the race for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. With 7-4, they had secured a playoff spot as the first team in the league. The last three games of the season, Kansas City started to choke. In their second matchup with the Birddogs, this time on the road, they were again close but lost by 28-31 by a late fourth quarter touchdown by Dallas. In week 13, they lost – again on the road – to the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Being at 7-6, they were at the same record now as the London Royals after 13 weeks. The Royals had a run and overcame their bad start into the season, by winning 5 in a row. In week 14, the deciding games for the division title were Pythons at Coyotes and Royals at Buccaneers. Easy game for Kansas City, tough matchup for London. But KC choked again and lost at home, seeing their chances on the home field advantage in the championship game fading. Luckily for them, the Royals also lost to the Bucs and finished the season at 7-7, as did KC. Kansas City sweeped them in the regular season, and also won the CC game to advance to the finals.
12) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S22 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
The start into the league was tough to be honest. I am part of the big S22 reddit recruitment class, and started out with many other players. When I saw the post on reddit, I found the concept on having your own player in a league fascinating. Soon after, I created an account and was ready to create a player. I pretty soon had the position I wanted to play, and chose to create as a wide receiver. I looked through the various pending players waiting for approval, and came across the roster page of Eddie Jeeta, user QuirkyTurtle. He created just a few minutes before me, also as WR. I checked the position templates, and always kept in mind what this one user did for creation, and followed his pattern. In the end I was approved and waited for the draft to roll by. Finally it was here, and I got drafted. How exciting! I went as the 53rd overall pick to the Kansas City Coyotes. I had a team. When I joined the locker room I first checked what was going on, and man, stuff was going on. So many new prospects from a huge draft class all at once. I got to know the two guys responsible for bringing me in, my former GMs starboy and butters. But it wasn‘t only them, the whole team and all the draftees were amazing. QuirkyTurtle was the first WR taken, what a coincidence we were on the same team as he already helped me in my creation process without even knowing. Kevin Fakon, the rushing Aussie and amazing dude. Matty and Pmoney were there, the two Scottish guys you have to like just because they are awesome. Ismael, Sweets and Booger, the three defensive guys and awesome people as well. Tree, who was a S21 create and spent another season down was great for our locker room flow. The team as a whole built up a nice and somewhat competitive atmosphere, which everyone liked.
I didn‘t get that many playing time early on, but spent improving to get to rack up some stats and help the team. I didn‘t let to get me down on less playing time, as it was just awesome to be on the team. It motivated me to improve even further. Near the end of the season I was added to the war room and joined the front office of the team. This was an amazing chance, and I learned really a lot.
In the upcoming scouting process, I got to know frostbite more, as he was around in the KC discord quite regularly. He got an expansion with RainDelay, and was one of my top destinations prior to the draft. Ever since I was drafted by them, I am glad that my first few years in this league turned out like that. Frostbite added me to the war room early on, which I am really thankful about. I learned some of the mechanics of the big league and was involved in decisions. After RainDelay stepped down, I even got the job as the new Sarasota co-GM. What exciting times I am in at the moment. Many of the guys who helped me along the way, are already in managment positions too, which shows what an amazing draft we had in KC when I joined.
