Analysis of the Prime Bowl: Sphinx Edition

The Prime bowl is set to be an amazing game as the 5-1 Sphinx take on the 5-2 Aviators for the title of best team in the Prime Football League! So now we take a look at all the aspects of the game:

Sphinx

Offense:
Most offenses look at a drive as a set of 1st downs, the Sphinx look at it is as 1 go for the TD. The Offense usually likes HUGE plays with some AMAZING catches. The teams QB and WR's aren't EPIC but they are real close. Then again don't under estimate this teams running ability. The teams has been known for some good running plays with RB Elked.

Defense:
The defense isnt as strong. It's highlight is a very good ability to stop the run. We all remember that's what killed the Werewolves in Week 1 where the Sphinx 27-0. Their pass defense is ok in some aspects, they have great Receiver coverage but they have yet to catch an interception unlike the Avis 4 in the past several weeks.

Special Teams:
The team has not had to worry about punting and the special teams always answer their TD's with an EP. They're also very good with passing 2 point conversions when they go for it. Their only tru mistake this whole season was Elked's rogue 2 pt. conversion that was blocked by the Avis defense causing the first loss by only 1 point.

Season:
How could you not look back at the Sphinx season and not say WOW! The 5-0 streak only ended by 1 point in the last week was FILLED with highlights including their week 1 shutout against the Werewolves which they won 27-0. They've also led ALL the leaderboards since week 2!

Former Matches:
The Sphinx have played the Avis twice this season and WHAT A GAME both times! They won the first one 13-7 in the last several seconds of the game with an amazing Defense. They then lost the second one only by 1 point in the last few seconds of the game!

Analysis of the Prime Bowl: Aviators Edition

The Prime bowl is set to be an amazing game as the 5-1 Sphinx take on the 5-2 Aviators for the title of best team in the Prime Football League! So now we take a look at all the aspects of the game:

THE AVIATORS

Offense:
The Offense of the Aviators has ranked 2nd the whole season except for week 1. The Offense mainly focuses on passes and the team has the Quarterback skills (stowawayboy and weblefty) and Receiver skills (mike, mitch, zornak, nitro) to back it up. But don't underestmate the teams running game with good mitch as RB they usually get a 1st down per run and sometimes they can throw a TD in there with the mix!

Defense:
The defense wasn't extremely strong until around Week 5 where an Interception by mitch led to a string of them in the next game. Since then the Aviators star CB (mike) and other CB's have caught at least 1 Interception per game including 1 against the Sphinx by Mike that was a key factor in winning the game!

Special Teams:
The Avis special team doesn't have to do much with only 1 punt this whole season (week 3 vs. Sphinx) the the only real plays they get are EP's and a FG in the game vs. Werewolves in Week 5.

Season:
Sometimes it's the record that really counts. 5-2 isn't that bad. They're biggest win was Over the Werewolves in Week 1 of the playoffs where they beat them by 26 points for a final score of 61-34. They're worst loss came to the Vipers in Week 4 where they lost 49-35 after an Intercepted throw by Stowawayboy. And you gotta give them props for ending the Sphinx Streak in week 6 by a 1 point win.

Former Matches:
As all the teams the Avis faced the Sphinx twice this season. The Sphinx won one of them 13-7 in the last seconds of the game. The Avis then came back in week 6 to end the 5-0 streak by a 1 point win (28-27)

Repeat Performance BUT BETTER!

In week 5 The Werewolves went to North Carolina. Ofcourse they went all that way to wind up losing 43-21. They came again in the first week of the playoffs but they fell again this time 61-34. THATS EVEN WORSE THAN LAST TIME! Well good job Aviators at the Prime bowl, and to the Werewolves best of luck to you in the Spring Bowl!

By the hair on their chinny chin chin

In week 6 the Werewolves just barely picked up the win over the Vipers 23-20. Just like in week 3 the Werewolves won by only 3 teeny points earned by a field goal right before half time.
With this win the Werewolves are advancing in the playoff scene to face the Aviators. The 4-2 Avis have beaten the Werewolves twice once by 19 points. I figure the Avis will pull off the victory at home and head on to the Prime bowl to face the 5-1 Sphinx.
If the Aviators win it'll be the 5-2 Aviators vs. the 5-1 Sphinx AND the Avis have lost once and beaten the Sphinx once. If the Avis make it it will be an AMAZING game for the gold to finish out the premiere season of the PFL!

Last Chance

In week 6 the Werewolves play the Vipers in yet another must-win situation for the team. If the werewolves lose they will be OUT of the playoffs (same goes for the Vipers). This is one last chance for the 2 teams that have been battling the WHOLE season!

Aviators Back and ready for the Bowl?

And unexpected victory came in Week 6 when the 5-0 Sphinx lost to the 3-2 Aviators. It was officially states that the loss was because of what one might consider a "rogue decision" by a Sphinx player, a 2 pt. conversion that was stopped by Mitch.
None the less the Sphinx are still sitting pretty at the top of the league where they will be GARUNTEED a spot in the Prime Bowl. So now it comes down to: will the new and improved Aviators make it through the playoffs and make the 1st ever Prime Bowl, and make it a Bowl to remember?

Shaky

The Werewolves lost their footing and grasp of their playoff hopes today when they were decimated by the willing Aviators in North Carolina. The loss as put them in 4th place overall! If they lose to the Vipers in week 6 you can kiss the Werewolves goodbye until the Spring bowl.

All I have to say.....is good luck Werewolves!

Even the Wright brothers would be proud!

In week 5 after with a streak of 2 losses the Avis needed a win if they wanted a good chance of getting to the Prime Bowl. They did get this with a HUGE win over the Werewolves 40-21! You could thank mose of the lead to the great Defense played by the Avis highlighted by 2 3rd down conversion stops and of course the interception by Mitch. The Avis with this win also knocked the Werewolves BACK to 4th place meaning they might not make it to the playoffs.
As stated in the title, the men who first flew (Wilbur and Orville Wright) would be happy to know that the Aviators destroyed the Werewolves in the field named after the brothers.

Good job Sphinx

I, stowawayboy, the commissioner of the PFL want to congradulate the Sphinx. Their team is the most dedicated, most elite team I've ever seen in ro-football, both in our league and in private groups. The team has far exceeded ALL of our expectations. All I've got to say is Good Luck in the Prime Bowl....IF YOUR THE TEAM PLAYING AGAINST THEM!
