1 – Block Party (9-0)

Block Party has firmly established itself as a dominant force in the Coed 3 division, boasting an impressive 9-0 record. This unbeaten streak is a testament to their well-rounded and strategic gameplay, solidified by stellar individual performances.

Offense

The offensive prowess of Block Party is spearheaded by their quarterback, Yvan Salomon. With 1,232 passing yards and 41 touchdowns, Salomon has been a critical playmaker, maintaining a 70.1% completion rate and a quarterback rating of 123.3. His ability to consistently deliver accurate passes under pressure has kept the team’s offense dynamic and unpredictable.

On the receiving end, Marc Antoine Martin has been a standout, accumulating 320 yards and 18 touchdowns in just six games. His reliable hands and ability to make critical catches in the end zone make him a key target for Salomon. Complementing Martin, Samora Fanta Sacko and Max-Edouard Dadaille have also contributed significantly, with Sacko securing 160 yards and six touchdowns, and Dadaille adding 220 yards and five touchdowns to the team’s offensive stats.

Defense

Yvan Salomon also plays a dual role, contributing defensively with nine tackles and four interceptions. His defensive skills complement his offensive leadership, making him a versatile asset for Block Party. Samora Fanta Sacko and Max-Edouard Dadaille, each also have three interceptions a piece.

Conclusion

Predicted record: 10-0

2 – Bandit(e) (8-1)

Bandit(e) has emerged as a formidable force in the Coed 3 division, boasting an impressive 8-1 record. Their success is driven by a potent combination of high-powered offense and a staunch defense.

Offense

The offensive firepower of Bandit(e) is spearheaded by quarterback Xavier Parent. He has accumulated 1,545 passing yards and 44 touchdowns, maintaining a solid 59.9% completion rate and a quarterback rating of 121.0. Parent‘s ability to deliver accurate and timely passes has been a cornerstone of Bandit(e)‘s offensive strategy.

The receiving corps is led by Samuel Omombo, who has amassed 454 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns over eight games, showcasing his ability to make crucial catches. Lou-Félix Roy-Lachapelle adds to the offensive threat with 264 yards and 9 touchdowns, while Marilou Grenon contributes 179 yards and 7 touchdowns. This trio has been instrumental in keeping the offense dynamic and unpredictable.

In addition to his passing prowess, Parent also contributes to the rushing game with 213 yards and 2 touchdowns on 12 attempts. Omombo further showcases his versatility with 37 rushing yards on 2 attempts, making him a key dual-threat player.

Defense

Defensively, Bandit(e) is equally impressive. Samuel Omombo leads the charge with 23 tackles and a league-high 15 interceptions, demonstrating his game-changing abilities on both sides of the ball. Jules Fortin supports with 10 interceptions and 3 tackles, while Lou-Félix Roy-Lachapelle contributes 13 tackles and 7 interceptions, adding depth to the defensive lineup. All in all, this defence’s ability to produce turnovers is nothing short of extraordinary. Emmanuelle Desroches adds a significant 16 tackles, and Xavier Parent has also shown his defensive skills with 10 tackles and 1 interception, underscoring the team’s well-rounded defensive capabilities.

Conclusion

Bandit(e)‘s combination of a high-scoring offense and a robust defense makes them a top contender in the Coed 3 division. The leadership of Xavier Parent and the all-around skills of Samuel Omombo are critical to their success. Despite a single loss to Block Party, Bandit(e) has maintained their momentum with key victories over teams like Les Pookies and Chefs Bandits. Their ability to excel in all facets of the game positions them strongly as the season progresses, making them a team to watch in the upcoming matches. I expect this team to face off against Block Party in the finals.

Predicted record: 9-1

3 – La Secte (7-2)

La Secte has been a force to be reckoned with in the Coed 3 division, maintaining a commendable 7-2 record. Their blend of offensive prowess and defensive solidity has set them apart this season.

Offense

The offensive charge for La Secte is led by quarterback Nicolas Katserelos, who has delivered 1,239 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. Despite a modest 54.2% completion rate and 13 sacks, Katserelos’ ability to make big plays under pressure has been crucial. 

Key receiver Alyson Francillon has been spectacular, with 418 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, making him a critical target. Justin Leblanc-Guindon complements his efforts, adding 456 yards and 13 touchdowns, displaying exceptional yardage per catch at 16.9 yards. Contributions from Mercedes Malo (104 yards, 2 TDs) and Estelle Quevillon-Lemay (191 yards, 2 TDs) further diversify their offensive threats.

Defense

Defensively, La Secte showcases a robust lineup. Julien Gravel leads with 21 tackles and 7 interceptions, demonstrating his defensive acumen. Zachary Robledo adds 11 tackles and 4 interceptions, showing his ability to disrupt opposing offenses effectively. Alyson Francillon again makes his mark with 6 tackles and 4 interceptions, proving to be a versatile player on both ends. Raphael Beauchamp-Desbois (14 tackles, 3 INTs) and Anjolie Levesque (8 tackles, 1 INT) bolster the defense further. Estelle Quevillon-Lemay contributes significantly with 20 tackles, showcasing her defensive consistency.

Conclusion

La Secte blends offensive and defensive strengths to create a formidable team. While their offensive leaders like Nicolas Katserelos and Alyson Francillon drive the team forward, their defense, spearheaded by Julien Gravel and Zachary Robledo, ensures they remain competitive. Despite a couple of setbacks, their well-rounded squad and strategic adaptability keep them in contention. Enhancing offensive line protection and maintaining defensive intensity will be key to their continued success.

Predicted record: 7-3

4 – Michael Scott’s Tots (6-3)

Michael Scott’s Tots currently hold a 6-3 record, showcasing a mix of strong offensive plays and areas needing improvement, especially as they head into the final stretch of the season.

Offense

The offense of MST is primarily driven by quarterback Kenny Boutilier, who has shown significant improvement over the past few seasons. With 781 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, his ability to create plays has been critical for the team, but the reliance on a limited set of receivers is noticeable. Zackary Alberts-Gill is the standout receiver, amassing 459 yards and 17 touchdowns. Chloe Brazeau-Gelinas and Maude Santos Charlebois add depth, with 175 and 182 receiving yards respectively, and six and five touchdowns each. However, the team needs to diversify its passing targets to include more female players, such as Cristina Ionescu and Gabrielle Percuic, who have demonstrated potential but are underutilized.

Defense

Defensively, MST has strengths and weaknesses. Jonathan Joseph leads with 18 tackles and eight interceptions, making key defensive plays. Kenny Boutilier also contributes defensively with 17 tackles and five interceptions, showcasing his versatility.

A critical defensive player, Zackary Alberts-Gill, not only excels as a receiver but also as a rusher. His 24 sacks have significantly disrupted opposing offenses. Chloe Brazeau-Gelinas and Gabrielle Percuic also make important contributions with eight tackles and multiple interceptions between them. However, the defense has areas that need fortification, particularly in ensuring consistency in coverage and tackling.

Conclusion

MST has shown strong performance this season, thanks to the leadership of Kenny Boutilier and the dual-threat capabilities of players like Zackary Alberts-Gill. Their current position in the standings reflects their overall capability, but to secure a stronger playoff position, they need to address their over-reliance on key receivers and increase the involvement of their female players. With one game remaining in the regular season, enhancing their offensive diversity and tightening their defense will be crucial to their playoff success.

Predicted record: 7-3

5 – 1-9ers (7-2)

Offense

Quarterback Charles Presser has been a touchdown machine this season, racking up 1,292 passing yards and 40 touchdowns with a solid 59.5% completion rate and a quarterback rating of 103.6. His impressive stats highlight his ability to find the end zone consistently, but the team has a noticeable overreliance on two key receivers, Lucas Quenneville and Alexandre Blais.

Lucas Quenneville leads the receiving corps with 508 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Alexandre Blais follows closely with 473 yards and 11 touchdowns. This dynamic duo has been critical to the team’s success, but their predictability could be a weakness against stronger defenses. Ophélie Richard also contributes significantly with 169 yards and 4 touchdowns, but the team needs more output from other female players like Laurie Richard-Leduc and Isabela Lamosa to diversify their offense.

Defense

On the defensive end, Mika Benoit stands out with 12 tackles and 5 interceptions, showcasing his ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Jasmine Brown and Alexandre Blais each add 2 interceptions, reinforcing the team’s secondary. Ophélie Richard is a key player here as well, contributing 15 tackles and 1 interception. However, the defense can be improved with more consistent performance from other players.

The 1-9ers have been able to capitalize on their offensive firepower but sometimes struggle against well-rounded teams, as shown in their losses against Block Party and Bandit(e). Their game against Goal Diggers was a close 47-46 win, indicating their potential vulnerability.

Conclusion

As the 1-9ers head into their final game against The Strawhats, they need to address their offensive predictability and involve more players, particularly female players, to keep defenses guessing. Their strong position in the standings and Charles Presser’s leadership give them a good shot at a deep playoff run, but diversifying their play and tightening their defense will be crucial. If they can spread the ball around and maintain their defensive intensity, the 1-9ers could be a formidable force in the postseason.

Predicted record: 8-2

6 – Ghosted (3-5)

Offense

Carol-Ann Ménard has shown solid improvement as a quarterback, amassing 28 touchdowns over 8 games. However, her 16 interceptions highlight a critical weakness in ball security that could cost them in tighter games. Jessica Gosselin and Jessica Daoust have been standout receivers, with Gosselin leading the team with 9 touchdowns. Laury-Ann Potvin also deserves a shoutout for her consistent performance, providing 258 yards and 5 touchdowns. The offense has struggled against more athletic defenses but has shown signs of improvement in recent games, as evidenced by their better scoring against Panini Pressers and Michael Scott’s Tots.

Defense

Defensively, Jessica Daoust and Jessica Gosselin have been stalwarts, each contributing multiple interceptions and tackles. Jasmine Farmer has been a force with her 18 tackles, showcasing her defensive prowess. Despite these individual successes, the team has struggled to contain high-powered offenses, evident from their losses against Block Party and Bandit(e). Improvement was noted in their last three games, where defensive coordination seemed better, holding Panini Pressers to just 24 points.

Conclusion

Ghosted stands out as a seasoned team with a rich blend of experience and skill. While they face challenges against more athletic teams, their recent performances suggest a positive trajectory heading into the playoffs. Positioned just outside the top tier, Ghosted needs to maintain their defensive momentum and improve ball security on offense to advance deep into the playoffs. Given their experience and recent form, they are likely to surprise some higher-seeded teams. The all-female roster brings a unique dynamic to the league, and with their steady improvement, Ghosted is could be a dark horse make a significant impact in the upcoming playoff rounds.

Predicted record: 5-5

7 – Chefs Bandits (2-7)

Offense

The Chefs Bandits have shown they are better than their record indicates, having faced an exceptionally tough schedule. They have played against top-tier teams like Block Party, Bandit(e), and 1-9ers, which has put their skills to the test. However, the inconsistency at quarterback has been a significant challenge. Alexandre Aristyl has thrown 16 touchdowns but also 11 interceptions. Guillaume Girard and Alexis Rousseau-Turenne have both stepped in, but the lack of a consistent quarterback has made it difficult for the team to secure wins.

Despite these challenges, the offense does a great job spreading the ball around. Alexis Rousseau-Turenne leads the receiving corps with 19 receptions for 247 yards and 6 touchdowns, followed by Stavros Ananiadis and Stephanie Langlois. This distribution keeps opposing defenses guessing, but the high turnover rate from the quarterbacks needs to be addressed for the team to capitalize on their offensive opportunities.

Defense

Defensively, the Chefs Bandits have shown promise, especially in their ability to create turnovers. Alexandre Aristyl and Olivier Bougie have been standout performers with 5 and 4 interceptions respectively. However, the team has allowed too many points, largely due to the turnovers on offense. Their defensive secondary is solid, with players like Melody Foisy and Sebastien Simon contributing significantly with tackles and interceptions. The team’s lack of sacks, however, with just a few across the board, indicates a struggle against more mobile quarterbacks.

Conclusion

Overall, the Chefs Bandits are a talented team that just needs to gel. Their large roster, while beneficial for depth, might be contributing to their inconsistency. If they can find stability at the quarterback position and continue to spread the ball effectively, they have the potential to be a dark horse in the playoffs. With a current record of 2-7, they will likely enter the playoffs as a lower seed but have the capability to surprise higher-ranked teams if they can minimize turnovers and maximize their defensive prowess.

Predicted record: 3-7

8 – Panini Pressers (3-5)

Offense

Panini Pressers have shown flashes of potential, but their biggest hurdle remains consistency. Giordano D’Amico has had a challenging season at quarterback, with 14 touchdowns overshadowed by 16 interceptions. On the bright side, the team does a commendable job of spreading the ball around. Lorenzo Losciuto leads the receiving corps with 168 yards and 4 touchdowns, but the contributions from players like Jessica Zerbino and Dounya Sheik (both with 2 TDs each) highlight the diverse offensive threats. Mekhi Krichen has also been a standout with a notable yards-per-reception average, showcasing his big-play potential.

Defense

Defensively, Panini Pressers are quite impressive. They boast a dangerous secondary, with numerous players recording interceptions, making them a tough team to pass against. Enrico Morante leads the defense with 6 interceptions, followed closely by Jessica Zerbino with 4. The defensive depth continues with Dounya Sheik‘s 3 interceptions and strong performances from Dario Morante and Lorenzo Losciuto. However, a significant weakness is their lack of a pass rush. With only 2 sacks on the season, the team struggles against mobile quarterbacks, which can be exploited by more athletic offenses.

Conclusion

Panini Pressers are an athletic yet inexperienced team, still learning the nuances of the FPF game. Their improvement over the season is evident, but the glaring issue is the quarterback’s interception rate. Addressing this will be crucial for their playoff hopes. Despite the offensive struggles, their defense keeps them competitive, thanks to a formidable secondary. As the season progresses, gaining more experience will be key for this team. With two games left, against Block Party and MST, a strong finish could boost their confidence going into the playoffs but is looking unlikely. 

Predicted record: 3-7

9 – Strawhats (3-6)

Offense

The quarterback situation is the biggest concern for The Strawhats. They have turned the ball over 29 times and have just thrown for 9 scores. Players like Andréanne Tremblay and Suany Gonzalez have shown potential as reliable targets, but the team lacks a definitive number one receiver. A standout receiver could help stretch the field and keep defenses honest. Alexis Leroy-Pleshoyano and Maxime Durand-Trudeau show promise and could potentially fill this role with more consistent performances.

Defense

Defensively, The Strawhats need to step up their game, especially in creating turnovers. Despite having solid tacklers like Yanick Durand-Trudeau and Maxime Durand-Trudeau, the team only has 7 interceptions. The lack of interceptions means the defense isn’t flipping the field position in their favor as much as they could.

Moreover, the pass rush needs significant improvement. With only 4 sacks recorded, opposing quarterbacks are getting too comfortable in the pocket. The defense needs to generate more pressure to force hurried throws and mistakes. Yanick Durand-Trudeau and Samy Benhocene have shown some ability in this area, but the entire unit needs to find ways to disrupt the quarterback more consistently.

Conclusion

The Strawhats have a tough road ahead, but they have the pieces to turn things around. If they can stabilize the quarterback position and reduce turnovers, their offense will be more productive. Defensively, focusing on generating more interceptions and increasing their sack totals will make a significant difference.

Given their remaining games, they need to focus on their strengths and work on these key areas to have a shot at making a deep playoff run. It’s a challenging task, but with determination and teamwork, The Strawhats could surprise some higher-ranked teams in the playoffs. 

Predicted record: 3-7

10 – Les Pookies: 

Offense

Les Pookies have showcased a variety of quarterbacks this season, with William Chamberland standing out as the most productive, throwing for 355 yards and 8 touchdowns over 3 games. Despite this, the team struggles with consistency at the quarterback position, as evidenced by their high interception rate. Each QB has thrown multiple interceptions, a total of 9, which significantly hampers their offensive efficiency. On the receiving end, Jérémie Paré-Avakian and Alessio Carmosino have been solid contributors, both averaging impressive yards per reception. However, the team needs a true #1 receiver who can take the lid off the defense and provide a consistent deep threat.

Defense

Defensively, Les Pookies have had mixed results. Players like Jules A Cardinal and Maxime Perron have been reliable in intercepting the ball, with 3 and 2 interceptions respectively. The defense has also been active in pass deflections, but they need to produce more turnovers to give their offense more opportunities. A major concern is their lack of sacks; the team has only managed 3 sacks all season, which suggests they struggle against mobile quarterbacks and fail to put pressure on the opposing offense.

Conclusion

Les Pookies have the potential to be a competitive team, but they need to address several issues. Consistency at the quarterback position is crucial, and reducing the number of interceptions thrown will help stabilize their offense. On defense, increasing their sack total is essential to disrupting the rhythm of opposing teams.

Predicted record: 2-8

11 – Goal Diggers (2-8) 

The Goal Diggers are in a tough battle for a playoff spot, currently sitting at a 2-7 record. Their remaining games are crucial for determining their playoff fate.

Offense

The team has faced turnover issues at the quarterback position, with both Alexei Bulanov and Alex Adamidis throwing a combined 15 interceptions. Despite these struggles, they have managed to put up a respectable 16 touchdowns. Bulanov has been more effective, completing 21 of 45 passes for 323 yards and 8 touchdowns. Adamidis has also contributed with 8 touchdowns but has been less consistent.

On the receiving end, Marckens Théodore and Niko Adamidis have been standout performers. Théodore leads the team with 5 touchdowns on 7 receptions, averaging an impressive 24.6 yards per reception. Adamidis has also been a reliable target, contributing 5 touchdowns on 13 receptions.

Defense

Defensively, the Goal Diggers have shown potential but need more contributions from their secondary. Marckens Théodore has been exceptional, leading the team with 5 interceptions and 19 tackles. Shaliny Valeny and Welly Kit have also made notable contributions, but the team needs more interceptions and sacks to increase their defensive pressure. Adamidis has been strong on defense but needs more support from his teammates.

Conclusion

The Goal Diggers face a must-win game against Ghosted in their final match. Given their turnover issues and the tough competition, securing a playoff spot will be challenging. They need to reduce turnovers and rely on their standout receivers to make big plays. Their defense must step up and create turnovers to give their offense more opportunities. If they can address these issues, they have a slim chance of making it to the playoffs. However, predicting a win against Ghosted seems difficult given their current form and the challenges they face.

Predicted record: 2-8

12 – Free Agent Squad (1-8)

Offense

The Free Agent Squad has shown promise but has been plagued by turnover issues at the quarterback position. Both Khaled Saadi and Théo Médori have struggled with interceptions, combining for a total of 22 INTs against only 9 touchdowns. This high turnover rate has hampered their offensive effectiveness. Despite these struggles, Liliane Valiquette and Mathew Hartman have had standout seasons as receivers, with Valiquette amassing 119 yards and Hartman leading the team with 183 yards. Their consistent performance has provided some stability and optimism for the squad’s offensive future.

Defense

Defensively, the Free Agent Squad has faced significant challenges. With only one interception recorded by Fransisco Desmarais, their ability to create turnovers has been minimal. This lack of defensive playmaking has allowed opposing offenses to exploit their coverages consistently. The team needs to develop better defensive schemes and learn how to bait quarterbacks into making mistakes. Improved understanding of defensive coverages and execution could lead to more takeaways and better defensive stands.

Conclusion

The Free Agent Squad is fighting for a playoff spot, but their journey has been fraught with difficulties. Their last game, against the Chefs Bandits, is a crucial matchup. A win could potentially secure their place in the playoffs, but it will require a concerted effort to minimize turnovers and enhance defensive performance. If they can harness the potential of their standout players like Liliane Valiquette and Mathew Hartman, while also tightening their defensive strategies, they have a shot at making it. However, their current form suggests a challenging road ahead, and learning from their experiences this season will be key to future success.

It’s clear that the Coed 3 division is brimming with talent and competition, making for an exciting lead-up to the playoffs. Each team has shown their strengths and highlighted areas for improvement, creating a dynamic and unpredictable environment. The top contenders, like Block Party and Bandit(e), have demonstrated consistent performance and strategic gameplay, positioning them as favorites for the championship. 

Key players have stepped up across the board, with standout performances from Yvan Salomon, Samuel Omombo, and Marckens Théodore driving their teams forward. The challenge now lies in maintaining momentum, minimizing turnovers, and refining defensive strategies as the regular season draws to a close.

The playoff race is heating up, and every game counts. Teams must capitalize on their remaining opportunities, focus on their strengths, and address their weaknesses to secure a coveted playoff spot.
