Pro-League Championship Game - Prague vs. Sarajevo

Breakdown:

The Cinderella Sarajevo Reapers, who narrowly squeaked out a win against the Sheboygan Chaos Theory, take on the undefeated Prague Punishers, who dominated the Rome Gladiators 32-3. On paper, this looks like a complete mismatch, as Prague has rolled through their entire Conference without breaking a sweat. Prague's starters are mostly 2-3 levels above Sarajevo's, and most of which played on last season's championship team.

Sarajevo, however, looks to stage a historic upset. Last season, the team was named Warsaw Punishers, and were overshadowed as the so called "other" Punishers. After re-inventing themselves as the Sarajevo Reapers, they have come out of obscurity to win the Alpha Conference title. Can they continue their Cinderella march into history? All will be decided this Wednesday in the Super Bowl!

Match-Ups:

Quarterback: Little Debbie vs. Kyler Outlaw - This match-up is closer than one might think. Little Debbie had an amazing season, throwing for 3851 yards and 36 touchdowns and hasn't slowed down a bit in the playoffs. Nevertheless, Kyler Outlaw has been one of the most under-rated stars in the league, as he gets few opportunities to pass in Sarajevo's run-heavy offense, but makes the most of them when he does. Nevertheless, Prague is the clear favorite here. Edge goes to Prague

Halfback:Javorskie Vice vs. Cary Stayner - Similar to Kyler Outlaw, Javorskie Vice gets overlooked in Prague's amazing passing offense, but always makes the most of the opportunities he's given. Nevertheless, Cary Stayner is the obvious Superstar here. Cary lead the league with 2258 rushing yards and 38 touchdowns for a 5.3 average, all league-bests. He leads the playoffs with 339.5 yards rushing and 6 touchdowns. Edge goes to Sarajevo

Wide Receivers: Prague is lead by Level 20 TE ScatKatt Bison, who led the league in receiving touchdowns with 16. He came in second to WR Steven's Steaming Seaclams in yards with 1322 receiving yards. Complementing Bison is WR Ben Venuti, who had 1010 yards receiving. Sarajevo, on the other hand, is led by WR Will Boose, who has 638.5 yards receiving and 6 touchdowns. Edge goes to Prague

Offensive Line:Both teams are led by amazing offensive lines. Prague has two huge pancakers in OT Big Joe and G Coke Zero, with 200 and 192 pancakes respectively. Sarajevo has a more run-oriented offensive line, with maulers at both tackle positions and is led by Center Pancaked Ya, who has 179 pancakes on the year. Sarajevo has not been out-pancaked a single time this season. Edge goes to Sarajevo

Defensive Line: The stars are clearly Prague DE Shaun Kruscher and Sarajevo DE Deebo, who have 28 and 22 sacks respectively. They were #1 and #2 in most sacks for the season. Both are the quality of player that can really dominate a game. Both teams have also given up under 300 yards rushing all season. Edge goes to Prague

Linebackers: Prague's leading tackler is Linebacker Heinrich Krupp, who has 77 tackles and only 2 missed tackles. Sarajevo is led by Linebackers Joe Dynasty and Mea'lofa Tatupu, with 49 and 41 tackles respectively. Edge goes to Prague

Secondary: Prague cornerbacks have had an amazing season at grabbing interceptions. Prague CB Jason Swift has 10 interceptions while fellow CB dime back has 9 -- two for touchdowns!. Meanwhile, Sarajevo's biggest weakness may be their secondary. Edge goes to Prague

Special Teams: Surprisingly, Prague has struggled with field goals, as Kicker Dante Williamson has missed 10 of 30 field goal attempts in the regular season. However, he's regained form in the playoffs having hit 9 of 10. Meanwhile, Sarajevo Kicker Nick Folk has gone 7/9 at Field Goals. Edge goes to Prague

I think that you are slighting our OL a little. If you look who gave up the least hurries this season or even better, look at hurries per pass attempt and you will see how dominant our OL is.

Our DL is also quite dominant, as we are most of the top 10 in each of hurries and sacks.

thanks for the write-up, bob.

Should be a good one. Ive been waiting for you guys since week 10. Good luck Randy, but im ready to throw up a hundred on ya.

Nice write up. This is going to be an exciting game, im looking forward to it.

Great job on the write-up.

My guess is even thought both teams are excellent I think Prague wins by 17. Good luck to both teams.

I think Sarajevo can actually give Prague a game. They're significantly better than anyone the Punishers have faced in Zeta this year. I've had them #3 in the power rankings behind Prague and Sheboygan throughout the coaches' poll. I predict a final score of Sarajevo 10 Prague 17.

Vegas wouldn't even put a betting line on this.

Prague: 24

Sarajevo: 3

I want a repeat of the Superbowl... Go underdogs!!!!

I'm not trying to start a debate about which conference is better. I don't see how Sarajevo is 'significantly' better than anyone in Zeta. They had their missteps much like everyone.

Thanks for the support king! LETS GO REPRESENT ALPHA!

Okay yall will have to just take this like I write it because any humility filter I have (which I will concede is already limited) will be turned off.

Look, I think that Alpha feels that they are so strong because they are more competitive at the top and that somehow Zeta is bad because Prague so dominates everyone in Zeta. That really isnt the case, as we saw in Week 16 and these scrimmages after the season, Zeta is actually a stronger conference, Prague just dominates them more and it makes my conference look bad.

Rome would have been 1st or 2nd in Alpha, just like they were 2nd in Zeta, they are a really solid team and plays conservative running and defense like Sarajevo. I also think that the top 8 in Zeta are stronger teams seed by seed than their respective Alpha seeds. In week 16 Cincinnati was within 11 points of the eventual Alpha champ Sarajevo.

Who in Alpha was within 11 of Sarajevo this season you might ask? Alpha 1, Alpha 4, Alpha 8 (early in the season before the Invaders had all of their Chemistry hits they were one of the top 3 teams in Alpha) and Zeta 8. So Zeta 8 and then the top 4 teams in Alpha you say? So the 8th ranked team in Zeta is as competitive as the best teams in Alpha.

It is not my fault that I make them look bad, they are good teams, they are competitive with each other, but our team is very good. I get at least 5 requests a day, some from very good teams asking me to come be a GM to help them with their messes, on the rare occasion that I accept I find teams that have poor builds, tactics that have to cover for their poor builds and generally messes. These are teams that are playoff teams in other leagues.

So, regardless what yall want to say about me or my team, dont dog on Zeta. I have run the numbers many times and looked at all available data, I will tell you that whoever moves up from AAA will be an immediate playoff type team in Alpha and they may or may not be in Zeta.

Whether or not we win against Sarajevo ... I dont know, I will find it interesting, I am interested to see what kind of tactics Sarajevo uses, because I think that it will be different. But as usual, I will do nothing special, we will run our same gameplan as we always do and we will see what happens. I will plot the game as another data point, like all the other games and hopefully we will win and keep our streak alive.

Good luck to yall, work hard to come up with a gameplan.

Good write up by bob, was a good thing for the league to have this kind of thing from you at least for the Sarajevo games this post season.

Great write-up Bob! Reapers, just 30 more hours. Can't wait! Should be a great game. 2nd best of luck to ya

That's a really great write up man!

Wow. I was named in a write up. I feel super special.
