(S32) PT 2 - Overreactions

[ckroyal92]

Oh I love overreactions, or at least what may seems like overreactions. If I said the SaberCats were going to win the Ultimus simply because we haven't been buried yet, you'd probably call that an overreaction right? Let's dive into some actual stats that may be able to prove that's not so crazy. Coming into this season, there was a consensus top 3 (on paper) in the ASFC - Arizona, Austin & Honolulu in some order. We've played each of these 3 in the first 8 games, unfortunately to a losing record, but if you actually watched these games, you'd know that we were dangerously close to winning all 3 if it weren't for a very questionable sim call & a long pick 6. In a league dominated by high octane passing offenses, the SaberCats have allowed fewer yards through the air than anyone else in the league, so why would you think this is unsustainable? Bottom line, if we can hold serve in games we're supposed to win, then screw around & win a game or 2 we're not, maybe we can break up that top 3, but why stop there? If history has taught us anything, it's that we just need to get into the dance to take the crown.
