Playoffs Awaken

The Dark side of the DelFL is strong in this year's Playoffs.

#1 Team Birdman

Owner: Tyler Birchmeier

2015 Season: 10-3

2015 PPG: 461

Playoffs: 3-3

The former Champion is looking to add another Death Star to his yet to be received Brown Jacket (waiting for him in the guest room closet at Steamer's). Through his truancy in WeChat, Birdman has been able to sneak up on his opponents, which is easy because most of his opponents have been asleep this year. Birdman had the lowest Points Against with an average of 358 points scored against him each game. But it was no fluke that Birdman has the top seed, he scored the 3rd most points this season and his 3 losses were the 3 lowest point outputs he had all year. Birdman had a BYE in 2013 and was subsequently walloped by Yanni in round 2. His 2015 team mirrors the 2013 in many ways, he also will have a tough matchup against the winner of Tits & Andrew (not the easiest draw), but Birdman has a chance to become the first team since 2009 to win the DelFL with the #1 seed.

#4 Steamer's Wetlands

Owner: John Kapostasy

2015 Season: 8-5

2015 PPG: 456

Playoffs: 4-1

H2H v. Andrew: 1-5

Best Matchup in Round 1: AJ Green v. PIT

Worst Matchup in Round 1: David Johnson v. MIN

Nobody knows what to expect from a Tits victory, the partnership with Steamer has been very lucrative but is shrouded in controversy. Does Steamer get a Brown Jacket if Steamer's Wetlands wins it all? There are very few who want to find out, the Commissioner and jacket giver being one of them. It is a legitimate question because this team is a legitimate contender. One of the hottest teams in the DelFL with a 3 game win streak, Tits has the NFL MVP (Cam Newton) who has an easy upcoming schedule (ATL, @NYG, @ATL), ODB, AJ Green and Greg Olsen (All Top 10 in their respective positions). Tits has gone from a fantasy laggard (2007-2012) to a perennial contender (2013 Champion, 2014-15 Division winner). This is his third consecutive Playoffs which is starting to emulate Bo's 4 consecutive Playoff run. But remember, Bo only won 1 Championship during that streak. If Tits wins, it will be the greatest 3 year stretch in DelFL history.

#5 Nothing But Baby Seal

Owner: Andrew Brown

2015 Season: 8-5

2015 PPG: 425

Playoffs: 3-3

H2H v. Tits: 5-1

Best Matchup in Round 1: Megatron @ STL

Worst Matchup in Round 1: Amari Cooper @ DEN

The Baby Seals before Week 13 are a little different than the Baby Seals before Round 1. There is a discernible limp, he certainly isn't running into this Postseason with the confidence he had a short time ago. Owners who don't want to see Andrew win, and that list might be long, shouldn't be too encouraged. Andrew has won at least one Playoff game in each Postseason he has qualified for. He hasn't won the big one (lost to Birdman in the finals of 2007), but this is a team as good as any of the past Baby Seal's rosters and perhaps Andrew can find his earlier magic? And no Baby Seal Playoff write-up would be sufficient without a mention of Jay Cutler (upcoming schedule: WSH, @MIN, @TB). What does the Chicago Bears gunslinger have to offer this year?

#2 Frisbee Boys

Owner: Jesse Wohl

2015 Season: 9-4

2015 PPG: 485

Playoffs: 3-2

Jesse hasn't been in the Playoffs since 2009. But this year was ameliorating. The Frisbee Boys won the scoring title and a first round BYE, more importantly quieting some of his inner-division rivals who were gossiping about Jesse being the worst team in not only their division but the entire DelFL. This season proved otherwise. Unfortunately for him, his stock of midichlorians is running out, and while the BYE is deserved it is also critical because this team probably can't win 3 games in a row as currently situated. Jesse is too reliant on Tom Brady (upcoming schedule: @HOU, TEN @NYJ) and the Broncos D/ST (upcoming schedule: OAK, @PIT, CIN). The other players are capricious and losing playing time, Jesse might have peaked in Week 10. Scoring 500+ might not be possible in the Playoffs, but the Frisbee Boys can reach 400. He will need some help from his competition, meaning he needs there B- or C+ teams. Jesse can count on a lot of support from DelFL Owners, it wouldn't be terrible if he won, it's just unlikely.

#3 Team PigandSushi

Owner: Warren Brown

2015 Season: 9-4

2015 PPG: 443

Playoffs: 2-3

H2H v. Squid: 2-1

Best Matchup in Round 1: Doug Martin v. NO

Worst Matchup in Round 1: Jacob Tamme @ CAR

Like Jesse Warren also hasn't been in the Playoffs since 2009, but unlike Jesse, Warren hasn't even had a winning season since 2009. So 9 wins in one season might be enough in itself. But after scoring more than 575 points in each of the last 3 weeks, Warren might have greater expectations. The Brown Family Division winner is led by his surging Seattle QB, Russel Wilson, who is playing out of his freaking mind. Wilson's matchups are only going to get easier from here (@BAL, CLE, STL), if he and rest of the core Sushis Doug Martin (upcoming schedule: NO, @STL, CHI) & Brandon Marshall (upcoming schedule: TEN, @DAL, NE) can continue their brilliant seasons, then Warren might be in the finlas. He certainly has the easiest draw, I think Birdman/Tits/Andrew would much rather play either Squid or Jesse than themselves.
