(S38) PT #5 - Self Reflection

[pauadrian]

Well, my player who is named Tyler One after famous and very wholesome twitch streamer Tyler1, is a new baby in this league. He is a running back and got picked up as a waiver claim for the Development Sim Football League team, the Portland Pythons. Now, obviously Tyler One is destined for greatness but I did not expect such a hot start from the running back of the future this soon into his career. Even though it is considered his season 0 I guess and not really his rookie year. Overall, I think the low expectations I had for the start of Tyler One's career have been helpful into just being happy to be here just like Aneeq's Switzerland. The Portland Pythons seem to not be in the best of shapes at the moment but that is okay as their locker room has been very nice to be in once again. I hope I have caused a good impression on them

Coming into this season its really hard for me to say I had any real expectations for this season what so ever. My only real expectation in general was just to be active, earn TPE, and improve my player and let the chips fall where they may. I think my season personally, and in terms of my team success has been much better than anything I could have hoped for. Perhaps thats the key is to just have little to no expectations and you may get some achievements lol. The team is going to the playoffs and has a good shot to win 11 games. As for my personal season; I had 7 sacks in 13 games which is flat out more than what I thought could be done. I also had 3 forced fumbles and more than a handful of tackles for loss. I'm hoping that I can put my imprint on the playoffs and force a fumble or two with some sacks. That would be the real goal for me.

The Hahalua were not expected to do well, and they didn't. At all. They finished 0-16 and last in offence and defence. They couldn't do anything right. After a certain point, you get used to it and don't expect much going into each game week to week. The games became boring and predictable as the losses piled up. What I was actually interested in was watching my player and I was hoping for some good numbers. I sort of reached my goals but it could have been a lot of better. With my career over, I'm a little indifferent to the 0-16 record. My time at the Hahalua was either a lot of success and wins, or pure futility. It's been an interesting experience and something that's been slightly infuriating and at times hilarious.  I would have probably liked a few more wins in my very last season with the Hahalua but I can't complain about the 3 Ultimus Rings.

As general manager of the Orange County Otters, I continue to be impressed by the team's resilience and continued on-field success in spite of pessimistic expectations of the Otters around the league. This season, many around the league (including myself, to be honest) expected us to finish as a lower tier team, sub-.500 and well outside of playoff contention. Coming off of a season where we had traded away several assets and still managed our way to a respectable 7-9 record, good for 4th place in the ASFC, and remaining in playoff contention up until week 16, many saw our roster get even older this season with few new additions thanks to sending all of our rookie draftees down to the DSFL and understandably penciled us in for about the same or an even worse record. In fact, however, the Otters improved to 9-7, tied with the 3rd seed of the ASFC and once again remaining in playoff contention up until week 16 despite a rather far-flung scenario needed in the final week to secure a spot. I took over the job prior to the start of last season expecting a fairly long rebuild process, but I am excited to see much faster returns than I expected and while I don't know if these overperformances will continue to hold up, I am excited to see what the future brings as we continue to draft and develop more new faces to add to the team.

Nothing is easy about coming into the ISFL directly after your first season in the DSFL. Expectations are always low due to the amount of TPE available to you. How are you supposed to get anything done when you only just started? That ran through my head plenty of times in the preseason before deciding that it would be best to get a jump start on the ISFL with Armor Queen since I knew it was better to rip off the bad season early like a band-aid rather than waiting for it when I unload all of the TPE later. Somehow though, I ended up being quite the crucial piece in the redzone. Armor Queen turned in eight touchdowns and over 300 rushing yards despite being a backup running back to the almighty Stig in New Orleans and only having around 300 TPE for a majority of the season. It shattered my expectations for the season even though I was told I would be used in many ways early on. Still, I hope in the future that I manage to keep that as my worst season and my expectations remain high for the future.

My first season in Kansas City was the most difficult season I’ve ever had playing football in my entire life. We were a horrible team, we couldn’t do anything right. We couldn’t get out of our own way. Once last season ended, I vowed that this season would be different, and it was going to be me playing a major role. I’m happy to say that so far, this team has blown away any expectations I had out of the water. Sure, I expected us to turn things around and be over .500 competing for a playoff position. Instead, we went on a 10 win tear and ended the season with a record of 12-1. On a personal note, I tied the league lead in most catches and most touchdowns. It would’ve been great to finish at the top of all three big receiver categories, but if we can win an Ultimini at the end of this, it will all be worth it. We have a chance to make history.

For the second season in a row, the Otters have outperformed expectations. Yet we missed the playoffs. As a former GM of the team, this breaks my heart. This was supposed to be our window to compete for a championship. But things happen, players leave, it's hard to attract new talent in free agency. They all go to AZ. Or other teams idk. Anyways it was a fun season. We played well.

As far as Bender goes, he had a great season. I was fully expecting him to be terrible in his old age. Yet he continues to amaze me. He put up stats good enough to keep him going for a couple more seasons. In fact, he was first in PDs for LBs, second in tackles, third in TFLs, and 6th in sacks. Shoot I'll take that any day. If he can keep that up for just one more season, he may have a HOF resume ?
