Task One:
We shall take a look at each teams season journey, let's start with Honolulu. Honolulu started off the season with two wins, against New Orleans and then Orange County. This however was followed by a stretch of 4 losses where they put up an average of 15 points a game and allowed 30. After that, Honolulu looked not so good, only 2-4 heading into a game against New York. A win, followed by a loss to Philly, but then a huge win over Baltimore (45-0) which really helped them out. 4-6 heading into the final stretch of the season, and they needed a streak of games to get on top...and they did exactly that. 4 straight games with an explosive offense led to 4 straight wins and just like that, Honolulu was 8-6. One loss to Arizona late in the season hurt but they still got into the playoffs with a 9-7 record after a win versus New York. Led by one of if not the best receiver in the league Eleven Kendrick-Watts, Honolulu looked like a team that could get a win or two maybe. But then, something amazing happened. After a win versus Arizona, they would win against Austin and just like that, the Hahalua were in the Ultimus, but it wasn't an easy team they were playing, none other than the Colorado Yeti! Colorado started out pretty decent, with a close win week one versus Berlin but then a blowout loss to Chicago to Week 2. However that led to a 6 game win streak...followed by a 3 game losing streak. In 2 of those three loses they allowed 40 and 55 (24 in the other respectfully). Colorado would then win 3 more averaging more than 28 per game and drop one more before ending the season on a very very very nice 69-13 win versus San Jose...why...oh well guess all losses can't be respectful but I guess I won't take it personally yet (looking at you Sconnie). Then, Colorado had to remind Berlin why they started the season with a loss and beat the crap out of them 49-17, then won against Colorado getting some sweet sweet revenge with a 23-10 win, which now leads to where we are. Mattathias Caliban led the Yeti to 48 touchdowns passing, but had some struggles with 17 picks which was only 4th actually in the league. Let's dive into the game. Oh wow! Caliban helped contribute to the first points of the Ultimus...in the wrong way though. Safety for Honolulu! I can't make too much about this game, I'll cut to the chase, Honolulu won the game in great fashion 30-27 and it was glory for the Hawaiian squad, a lot of happiness all around for them as they were underdogs who came out strong in the end! Congrats to them! Now I wanna split away from the top teams and look at the runner ups that weren't in the Ultimus, Austin and Chicago. Austin was the best team in the league, at a powerful 12-4 record. 6-2 at home and road. This team wasn't exactly carried by offense, only scoring above 35 3 times, but their defense wasn't exactly top tier either, just a well rounded team that you would be happy to get weekly. Jackie Daytona was solid at the quarterback position, getting a career high in touchdown passes with 32 while throwing just 10 interceptions! Zoe Watts was able to get a solid 1110 yards on 8 touchdowns as well. Similar to Honolulu's Eleven Kendrick-Watts, Austin had their own weapon deadly receiver with Videl-San. Now over to Chicago. Chicago was coming off a season where they were selling hard and making moves in the draft, and somehow they ended up here at a 10-6 record! They had the top defense in the league, and hey, defense does win games! Hamish McAndrew, Juan Domine, Wasabi Gleel, and others were the leaders of these offense gob stopping jaw breakers. Domine especially, with 20 sacks on 111 tackles, a true FORCE on the field if you ask me. Rookie Quarterback Kazimir Oles Jr helped the team with a very impressive 30 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions, with his top target being Duke product Mike Hunt! While Chicago had a nice 23-13 win over Sarasota in the first round, the defense gave in against the Yeti, ultimately ending their amazing season, on the amazing squad over. Overall, playoff teams have a lot on their mind and have a lot of work before. Each team has a journey to their success, and no difference here. Honolulu and Colorado were amazing teams no matter the outcome, and the same is to be said about Austin and Chicago, and not to forget the Silverbacks, Outlaws, Fire Salamanders and the Sailfish too. Each team balled out, and hey, they helped me complete this Ultimus Week task. Thank you!
