Going to review the championship game between the San Jose Sabercats and the Baltimore Hawks. After both teams light up their respective conference championships with eerily similar scores, both in the high thirties facing teams that only managed to put up scores in the teens, the consensus was that the Hawks had the better chance but anything could happen. Well it ended up that the Hawks won, and it was not even close. In the most lopsided NSFL Ultimus Championship game in history, the Hawks routed the Sabercats to the tune of 49 to 0. Embarrassing end to the Sabercats season aside, this is a triumphant and exclamatory win for the Baltimore Hawks who threw off old perceptions that the team did not have what it took to get over the hump and managed to throttle the Sabercats into submission with stellar offensive and defensive play in the final game. The Hawks QB and assorted cast did not want to leave the field all game as they put up 13 more minutes of possession and carved their way up and down the field. Eventually they had to leave the field, but not before taking the Ultimus with them. What a crazy finale to the NSFL's 15th season. 207 words.
3) All about the QBs
Written: Write 200 words on one of the QB matchups in this year's playoffs. What are you most excited to see (Or excited to have seen), who will play better (Or who played better), etc.
Graphic: Create a graphic on a QB matchup, (Pictures with side-by-side statistics).
I know this is supposed to be about one of the QB matchups in the NSFL playoffs, but damn you know what? Childish Gambino deserves to have just 200 words written about this performance he put on - mostly in the Ultimus finals, but also in the caliber of a regular season performance he put on for Baltimore Hawks fans and the conference championships where he outplayed Falconi and brought the Hawks to the Ultimus finals. In the finals, there was nothing Childish about the way he simply dominated the Sabercats with 5 touchdowns and absolutely no interceptions, not to mention some rushing action to boot. With the conference championships included, that brings his total TDs to 8 and his playoff interceptions to a single lonely mistake on an otherwise blightless resume. And the regular season can not be forgotten either - 45 TDs and 9 interceptions is the best ratio of TD to interception with 40+ TDs ever. Ever. In the league's history. He did not only just take the Top Performance honour home once in the regular season, and not even just twice, but five times. Even the sim knows how dominant Gambino was. And that must be incredibly satisfying, almost as satisfying as getting to take the Ultimus home in true champion fashion. 214 words.
5) Spotlight on Youth
Written: Write 200 words on one of the players in this year's Ultimus Week that are Season 13 or newer and spotlight on how they can affect or did affect this year's Ultimus. (NSFL Only)
Graphics: Create a graphic of a Season 13 or newer player with a statistical breakdown on their season.
There's a couple S15 players who played a fairly big role on the Ultimus winning Baltimore Hawks who I thought it would be nice to put the spotlight onto. First is Faith Terim, who actually led the Hawks in tackles in the Ulimus final. Considering the score, 49 - 0, its a more substantial achievement than at first glance. Given the potential Terim has on this beast of a Hawks squad, I expect good things in the future for him on this talented roster. The other Hawk who was S15 is Walt Green, another safety. The Hawks actually only had 2 safeties as S15 picks from the big draft class make the team this season, but considering both are over 400 TPE and played on their Ultimus squad it looks like perfect call ups from this angle. And while Green did not lead the Hawks in tackles like Faith Terim, he did have a big play in the fourth quarter when, with 8 minutes remaining, he snagged a ball knocked loss on the first play of a new Saber Cats drive, immediately returning possession to the Hawks who were, after this play, absoluting running away with it. And with 3 tackles to add to it, and a big fumble recovery, I don't know if there was a more impactful S15 player. 215 words
7) Next year
Written: If your team has been eliminated, why will next year, or the year after that, be the year that your team is going to win the Ultimus or Ultimini.
Graphics: Create a statistical summary of what improvements your team has made from the previous year or why your team was better than their record.
Almost went with the Our Time option here, before reading more carefully and realizing, no that's only for this year. But man the Arizona Outlaws are trending up. Look at the talent Swag has surrounded this team with, not only in S15 but in the years prior and what he's shown he's capable of doing now with the most recent free agent signing with Moose coming home. This team is on the up, with arguably the brightest future I have ever seen for it - which is saying something since my last Morris, Darren Morris Free Safety, played mostly his entire career here from S5 all the way through S13 when he was traded to the Hawks for a single lonely season not in the desert. But now, there are S15 rookies who are tearing up the gym all hours of every night, with guys like Brock Landers absolutely shredding it as WR and making the All Pro team in his rookie season. Lamont McKinnie tearing it up at safety. Lucas Knight, Jammerson Irving. All of these S15 rookies are at or almost at 400 TPE and rising quickly. At this next update Gucci's Brock Landers is getting closer to breaking 500 than 400. And its just getting better. Mixed with the vets who have been on the team, and former Outlaws who are looking to make a triumphant return and put us over the top, I don't think S15 will surprise anyone looking back. It was the start of a long run of bringing back championship football to the desert. 260 words.
