We got a lot of surprise in the first week of action, The 2 biggest one are Colorado going 4-0 and Orange County going 0-4. After the second week, you can see that for the reminder of the season, it will be so close in the ASFC, no Team really sailed off in first position like Colorado in the NSFC. You cant predict who will do the playoff, Honolulu, Austin, and New-York are 4-3, Arizona, San Jose, Orange County are 3-4, and Nola bring up the rear at 2-5, It Make ASFC team way more fun to watch, as each game become so important. Colorado is doing so well, and its all because of their defense, except to that terrible lost against CTC. Offense will need to wake up, because their defense cant keep that level of play longer than it need to be, and if their offense stay bad, they will lose early in playoff, or even worst, they will not make the playoff.
My knee jerk reaction is that the Colorado Yeti will be champions in S45. The team is playing like a true contender right now, and if they are able to keep up this pace, then the Ultimus should be a very manageable goal for them. Their QB, McDummy, had a bit of a down year last season, however he’s returned and improved since then, and leads the elite offense. Not to mention Swamp Maiden taking carries out of the backfield. The Yeti were able to pick up an elite 1000+ TPE FA in Donte Darious, and it appears that picking up this LB may have been enough to push them over the edge. The defense is immensely better than seasons prior, and a defense that has been historically known (outside the Mo Berry era) as being a bad defense, it has been impressive to see what they have been able to do so far with a few weeks in. Will they be able to keep up the pace? Who knows, but I for one am excited to see the season finish out!
I'm completing this task after irl week 2 so I will be reacting to those events. It seems that many of those who have already submitted to Orange County starting off the season with 4 straight losses. Some said we were overrated and will easily miss the playoffs. Heck, the was even a power ranking article that said we will only get 4 wins all season. But I am here to say that is all nonsense! Yes, our offense struggled hard those first 4 games and we gave Yellowknife their only win so far. All we needed was a get right game against New Orleans to get us going. Since then, we have ripped off two wins against teams with winning records. One of them was an away game too! Both offense and defence found their footing and are doing what we need to do to win. My hot take, continues their win streak, finishes 10-6, and makes the playoffs!
My kneejerk reaction after the beginning of the season is that the Sarasota Sailfish are going to have an incredible season and make the playoffs. The Sailfish are currently 2nd in the division and at 5-2, also have the 2nd best record in the entire league. Helping lead the way on offense is, of course, Johnny Blaze Jr. As Blaze Jr begins the later half of his career, it's really important to be competitive out there and make a real run at a championship. Sarasota is a proud franchise with a rich history of winning, and I believe they're back on their way to this winning result this season. They've put up a lot of points already, and their defense has shown that they can handle the big challenges and answer them. As long as the team can limit turnovers and penalties, they'll have a chance each time they take the field to win. There's so much talent at every level on this roster, the time is now for the Sailfish to go on a run and make the postseason.
