Playoff Review
NSFC Championship: Although the Wraiths were a surprise as the regular season NSFC Champions, they showed why they earned it in this game. The big story of the game was the play of the two quarterbacks. Rove played ok and along with the Liberty defense was able to take the game to overtime but Akselsen took over for the Wraiths in overtime and threw the game winning touchdown and finished the day with a 123.4 rating.
ASFC Championship: In what is usually just a stepping stone to another Ultimus title for the Outlaws, the Otters flipped the script and buried the Outlaws in this one. Mike Boss and the entire offense were clicking as they put up 27 points against a usually stout Outlaws defense.
Ultimus Championship: Finally, finally we get a competitive game in the championship for once after three years of pretty lopsided matchups. You have to think that the impact of Oline bots as well as just as less disparity between teams in the league overall as we go along contributed to this and just the way the season went in general. Anyways, the Otters jumped out to an early lead in this one with two huge plays by Westfield. But, the Wraiths battled back and came within one score, aided by Boss throwing a couple of interceptions. Alas, when the Wraiths needed a big play most they ran out of gas and the Otters ran out the clock on the way to their first ever NSFL Championship. And who else but Mike Boss had to be the MVP in this one, throwing for a ridiculous 439 yards.
Championship Game Recap
The biggest play of the Ultimus Game had to be the sack in the fourth quarter by Gregor Clegane. Unlike previous Ultimus games, this one was close down to the wire and the Wraiths had a chance to make a drive late in the game to tie it up and potentially go to overtime. But, Clegane was able to break through the line and Chase down the rather elusive Akselsen for the sack. This play put the Wraiths in an extremely difficult position to get a first down and keep their hopes alive in the game. Eventually the Wraiths failed to convert on fourth down and would not have enough time to come back in the game. In a game like this you have to pull out all the stops, but when you're in such terrible field position and such an unmanageable down and distance, it can wipe out a lot of potential plays that you might have in your playbook. Although the Otters almost blew it at the end of the game with a very untimely fumble, all the momentum that the Wraiths may have had was drained by this sack on a key play. The Otters are surely thankful for the play of Clegane both in this game and for the season after his transition from being an offensive lineman. He has really stepped up big to make the switch, get in shape and learn a completely new skillset.
Ultimus MVP
This seasons MVP of the entire playoffs has to be Mike Boss. After a tumultuous rookie season when their was still a huge quarterback controversy in OC, Boss emerged as the starter for the Otters and hasn't looked back. Despite ridicule after a season plagued with interceptions, Boss really broke out in S3 and has consistently proven himself to be the best quarterback in the league. And this year, he and the Otters finally got the monkey off their back by beating the Outlaws in the playoffs and then bringing home the Ultimus.
Boss put together two fantastic performances and his role as the unquestioned leader of the fantastic Otters offense was critical to their success. In the ASFC Championship game, Boss was slinging it against a typically stout Outlaws defense, finishing with three touchdown passes and a rating of 109.5. Then in the Ultimus Game, he came out again hot. Despite a couple if interceptions, Boss absolutely carved up the Wraiths defense by passing for a whopping 439 yards and another three touchdowns. His performance in the playoffs this year and what he has done for the Otters franchise will not soon be forgotten. It's not hard to believe that Boss could easily bring the Otters back to the Ultimus game again next season and lead them to victory once again.
Interview With a Fan
Today we're interviewing Rufus Thycalheim, a fan of the Philadelphia Liberty.
Hi Rufus thanks for talking to us. Always good to get a Fan's perspective.
Yeah, totally I agree, man. One hundred percent, so go get a good fan for that interview for sure.
No, Rufus, we're interviewing you. Right now.
Aww what, nice. How much do I get paid for this?
Uh, nothing but you do get to see this on TV eventually so there's that. Have you-have you been drinking Rufus?
I mean yeah of course, I've been drinking since Liberty lost in the playoffs.
Well a couple weeks of drinking isn't too bad I suppose.
Nah, man I've been drinking since they lost last year.
Damn, Rufus, it's just a game you need some help.
Just a game? Isn't watching and talking about the NSFL your job?
Well uh yes, but-
Excuse me, I'm conducting this interview, please let me finish what I was saying. Now where was I? Um well yes so how do you feel about the team?
Wait what, which team?
The Philadelphia Liberty of course, that's what this whole interview was about was it not? What do you think are their chances of finally making it to the big game. (Proceeds to take a drink from a flask he takes out if his pocket)
(Stands up quickly) That's it we're done here, cut the taping. This is the last time we interview a fan. And I thought some of these players were fucking annoying....
