With the International Simulation Football league through more than a week of games there are a few initial reactions to the season that people may not have been ready for. First and foremost I doubt a lot of the people would have bet that Colorado would be sitting atop the NSFC and who can blaming them for doubting Colorado. Colorado struggled last season only having five victories last season meaning through 7 games Colorado already has more victories this season. They have only lost to the Philadelphia Liberty so far. The strength of Colorado has been the defense. Colorado currently has a top two defense in the league in regards to scoring allowed and yards allowed. In regards to offensive production the Colorado Yeti are twelfth in the league in points scored and yards gained. Another thing that is surprising going after 7 weeks of games played is that the Arizona Outlaws current record has them missing the playoffs. Arizona is currently 3 wins with 4 losses and shares a record with the Orange County Otters and the San Jose Sabrecats

After the first few games of the DSFL season, the Kansas City Coyotes are 2-2 but possess a +45 point differential, and it's only natural to take a look at their offensive rankings and conclude that they're one of the premier offensive teams in all of developmental football. Their 202 rushing yards per game are nearly 70 more than the second place Bondi Beach Buccaneers, and they're doing so at a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry pace. They're also tops in the conference in points and total yards per game, and quarterback Lenard McRobinson is second among all players in rushing yards, as well as tied for second among all QBs in passing touchdowns despite attempting the fewest passes in the league by a wide margin. This could well be one of the greatest ground games the DSFL has ever seen, as their 14 game pace of 2,828 yards would be the most since the 3,058 produced by the then-Myrtle Beach Buccaneers in S22.

I think its fair to say that YKW is probably doing worse than expected.. but truly is that so? The team was kind of expecting our defense to be the strong point heading into the year, with some 1000+ TPE players scattered throughout the back end, but NOPE! The defense has been dreadful to say the least, and giving up 30+ is a regular occurance, and our QB Zoot has actually been near the top of the league, despite having probably the lowest TPE among all active QBs. In a strange occurence, it seems like the narrative has completely flipped, and its the offense that is actually doing all the heavy lifting for our team thus far! Now, will this get better as we move forward? Sure it will, but im not sure we will get LESS cooked in only a couple weeks of progress versus now, in what should be another rebuilding year in YKW.
(Forwarning this is written just after week 1 game)
I wouldn't call this a knee jerk reaction but rather the truth. I think Lenard McRobinson, QB for the KC Coyotes, is the greatest QB to ever play a snap of football ever. There is no one that stands even close to him. Honestly, I think it would be reasonable to just put McRobinson in to the hall of fame already. The performance he put out on the field was a spectacle to watch. He was clinical through the air throwing 210 yards and 3 tds which doesn't sound too crazy, but he did that with 72% completion percentage. Then on top of all that work through the air, he had 339 yards on the ground with 4 tds. So in total he had 7 touchdowns on the day and 549 yards on the day. This was a performance of a lifetime and one that people will be referencing for years to come. I am so glad McRobinson is my QB and can't wait for him to carry us to a Ultimini.
Season 45 in the ISFL is cruising right along. We’re now seven games into the season, or just 1 game short of the halfway point. We’ve seen a lot of games, but still have so many more left to be played. There have also been a lot of surprises along the way. There are a lot of things we can speculate about in the ISFL at this point in time, but I’m not here to speculate. I’m here to give you cold hard facts. As of week 7, the Sarasota Sailfish are absolutely the best 5 win team in the league. This is not debatable. Sure, there are several good teams in the league, but there is simply no other 5 win team that can compete with the Sarasota Sailfish.
That was fun, but on a more serious note, Ignatious Cleetington is the breakout player of the year on defense. Teams across the ISFL should keep an eye out for Cleet coming off the edge this season or they could find their QB on his back pretty often.

My first knee jerk reaction is that everyone inside the front office of the Arizona Outlaws needs to be fire. And not just your typical “fired” as in no longer have a job, “fired” as in directly to the sun. We are the Arizona Outlaws and we should be winning. It’s time to hold those accountable for these unacceptable outcomes. I know I’ll be out in front of the head office of the Arizona Outlaws picketing and rioting until changes are made. 1 season out of the playoffs is one thing, but 2 is downright unacceptable. And if the front office won’t do anything about themselves and relieve themselves of themselves, then I guess I’ll just have to force my recreate to a different team. I ain’t trying to be some career loser. So let this be a notice to all teams out there that want a QB, I am available for all. Go ahead and start DMing me.

My knee jerk reaction is going to sound similar to a lot of others, but I have an interesting spin to put on it. Obviously with their hot start the Yeti will end the season as the Ultimus Champions. But not because they have become so much of a better team (sorry to burst the blissful bubble). Their success, and unavoidable victory, is entirely due to all the presumptive favorites having their title windows slam shut! he Hahalua were supposed to take home another another piece of silverware after dispatching valuable challengers in the Crash, Hawks, and Silverbacks. Instead, each of those teams have regressed in some fashion, leaving the Yeti to fill the power vacuum. Their success is born off being the first to take advantage of a down year among the top of the league. To them, however, it won't matter. As at the end of the day, a title is a title.

My knee-jerk reactions are two fold, one for the ASFC and one for the NSFC. So we'll start with the ASFC first: At first glance, the records are surprising. There's no clear cut leader in the division, compared to the NSFC (we'll get there in a minute). My take is that the ASFC is the stronger conference and it's not even close. HON, NYS, and AUS are absolute powerhouses and it's going to be a juggernaut slugfest between those 3 for the 1 seed in the conference. In particular I'm thrilled to see Austin competitive in the conference. I'm not sure they've got it to go all the way to the end and grab the 1 seed but it'll be close.
My second take is for the NSFC: Colorado is a good, not great, team who are getting a lot of close games going their way. This is helped along by what may be a truly dominant defensive side who are allowing the fewest points in the league and the second fewest yards in the league. Their offense is middle of the road, however, so it remains to be seen if a dominant defense can prop up a medium offense in the ISFL the way it can be done in the NFL. ![[Image: axpcVcn.png]](https://i.imgur.com/axpcVcn.png)

Ma réaction trop rapide est un jugement sur les performances de Léopold Roy. Les fans avaient beaucoup d’attente pour ce choix de seconde ronde et on est forcé de constaté qu’il n’est pas si bon que ça. Il a le physique de l’emploi mais il lui manque un sens du football. Il est toujours perdu sur le terrain. Je crois qu’il va être un échec et on lira dans le futur que c’est un des pires choix de l’histoire de la ligue. Londres était supposé être une équipê qui compétionne avec Léopold Roy à bord, mais ce n’est vraiment pas le cas. Ils font seulement perdre ! Étant un fan de Londres, je souhaite à tout prix me tromper,mais j’ai vraiment la sensation que le choix de Léopold Roy fait en sorte que l’équipe ne va pas gagner une partie de toute la saison. C’est une catastrophe. Je salue cependant la décision de l’équipe de retirer Léopold du poste de directeur général. |
