Welcome back to the final installment of my weekly reviews of my rookie season! For week 5 of the season, this review will cover games 14, 15, and 16! Let's get down to it, shall we?
Continuing where we left off, our 14th game of the season was against the Austin Copperheads. The game ended in complete and unmitigated defeat for us as the final score became a large 14-28. The things that stood out this game, like the other losses were third down conversion, number of first downs, time of possession, the rushing discrepancy, and the number of turnovers. At first glance and mention, these stats corroborate the statement that NOLA should have definitely lost this game! Let's go over each of these stats shall we? The number of first downs was a massive difference as AUS had 19 first downs, while NOLA had only 14. The time of possession discrepancy was also massive as BER only had TOP for nearly 35 minutes, while NOLA had TOP for just nearly 25 minutes. The main reasons that led to NOLA massively losing this game were rushing and the amount of turnovers accrued. The turnover margin was tied 1-1 but we fumbled while we were in crucial scoring position, leading to a lost opportunity and a 14 point swing in the fourth quarter. In addition, the passing difference also contributed to the loss. AUS got 304 passing yards while NOLA did not even crack 170 passing yards at 161rushing yards, being the other major reason why we lost massively to BER. The final reason we lost this game was the third down conversion rate for both teams. AUS was a godly 9 for 14 on third downs while NOLA was unfortunately 3 for 10, leading to many missed chances to extend drives and keep the game alive as it was winnable during the game itself.
Our penultimate game of the season was against the Silverbacks again. The game ended in victory for us as we won a super close game 20-17. The things that stood out this game however were total yardage, number of first downs, penalties, time of possession, the rushing discrepancy, and the number of fumbles. At first glance and mention, these stats would tell you and corroborate the statement that NOLA should have won this game! Let's go over each of these stats shall we? The total yardage difference was massive between both teams; NY only got 367 total yards compared to NOLA's 315; this difference was small due to the near quadruple difference in factor of passing yards between both teams being canceled by the difference in rushing yards. The number of first downs was also a big difference as NY had 16 first downs, while NOLA had only 16. NY had 8 penalties for 72 yards, while NOLA only had 6 penalties for 38 yards. The main reasons that led to NOLA winning this game were rushing and the turnover margin. NOLA nearly tripled NY in rushing 210 to 80 and managed to get an interception that managed to seal the game away for a nice victory at the end of the season!
Let us now head to our final game the season! Our 16th game of the season was against the San Jose Sabercats again. The game ended in complete and unmitigated defeat for us as the final score became a large 13-30. The things that stood out this game, like the other losses this season were the number of first downs, time of possession, the rushing discrepancy, and the number of turnovers. At first glance and mention, these stats corroborate the statement that NOLA should have definitely lost this game! Let's go over each of these stats shall we? The number of first downs was a massive difference as SJS had 17 first downs, while NOLA had only 10. The time of possession discrepancy was also massive as SJS only had TOP for nearly 35 minutes, while NOLA had TOP for just nearly 25 minutes. The main reasons that led to NOLA massively losing this game were lack of an offense and the interception that was in SJS's territory. This will be a learning experience for future seasons on how to take care of the ball and learn how to defeat a good defense as well!
This should wrap my my weekly review of my rookie season! Hope you all enjoyed!
