Alternate History Sports / The AltFL Season 2022

**Posted by Dan O'Mac** 10/25/2022 9:52 am

With a tough win over the Mallards last week, the Emperors retain a share of the AltFL East Division lead with Boston and Buffalo. But we're not focused on the standings, we're focused on our next opponent, as YOUR New York Emperors will host the St. Louis Explorers. It's Throwback Night here at the Polo Grounds, as we are discounting the price of many concessions. We thought that's what we'd need to do to get a full house against the aggressively mediocre Explorers. But look at them, better than mediocre. Our goal? Get them back closer to .500. We're going to be wearing the standard homes this week with the gray helmet, yellow jersey, and gray pants. Showing them off this week is inside linebacker Zaven Collins!

After losing to Kentucky the week prior, the San Diego Destroyers rebounded and picked up the win at home with a decisive victory against Birmingham. The Destroyers look to extend their winning streak to 2 as they head out on the road to San Antonio to take on the winless Phantoms. The Destroyers will wear their alternate away set of Navy-White-White in San Antonio. Our featured player of the week is De'Vondre Campbell, who had an exceptional performance last week with 12 tackles, a pass deflection and a pick-6. #SDvsSA #SeekAndDestroy

Well, it was a sloppy game in Seattle, but at the end of the day, the Steelheads came away with a win. Just as importantly, Utah and Portland both lost, so that's a full game gained in the West Division standings. We stay in the Bean for our second straight home game (!!!) and we host a team that actually knows how to wear a tie. More importantly, though, the Copperheads know how to win, so this will be a tough matchup. Hopefully our offense will show up (and be healthy), but if not, we'll have to rely on S Johnathan Abram and our defense to carry again. #NervesOfSteel #TENvsSEA

Here are the power rankings, or, as I call them, the prankings! Bos, Baby, at one, while Toronto remains in the cellar.

A dominating win over the Scorpions is what the Cyclones needed to both lift their spirits after a devastating loss last week, and put them tied for the division lead with Kentucky and St. Louis. We're looking to put ourselves on top of the division, and we'll have to face a tough challenge as we ship up to Boston this week. LB Pete Werner has been an incredible addition to the team this year, coming out of nowhere to be one of our best linebackers this year, and he'll lead out the Cyclones in our traditional road sets once again as we look to defeat Boston to lead the Central.

The force was with us as we took down the Beavers at home, but it is time to head back out on the road. The Galactics are going to have a tough battle with the Grizzlies in order to hopefully grab a second straight win. DL Danielle Hunter is the feature for this week, he has had a pretty strong year thus far. As for the uniforms, we are going with a primarily white look with purple pants to add to the combo of white helmet, jersey and socks. #startthecountdown #DanielleIsHunting #ORLvsPOR #GoGalacticsGo

Well, the Reapers were a little too hot to handle. Oh well, we fought for awhile there, but Carolina ended up being the greatest eyesore of them all. We stay at home this week to face the Toronto Beavers, so hopefully we can have a bit of a restful week. Oh, and we have a new quarterback starting this week. Hopefully he's better than Matt Ryan.

Guess what. Wallflower made this.

Well, that was disappointing. The Steelheads only put up 84.1 points in our worst performance of the year by a wide margin. And yet ... we won somehow? I guess this proves once and for all that steel > copper. This week, we once again celebrate Red Cup Week at Starbucks Stadium. Just like last year, each of the first 1,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a complimentary reusable holiday Starbucks cup. We even get to play against a team that wears red this time, as we welcome Canada to town in the form of the Toronto Beavers. With Halloween not quite behind us yet, the jersey reveal goes to WR "Scary" Terry McLaurin. #NervesOfSteel #TORvsSEA

And we now have the final four! With three weeks left, the end is in sight. Let's see who can get it across the goal line! (cheesy lines, oh yeah!)

9-3 Dan O'Mac
9-3 idm
8-4 DireBear
7-5 Magic
7-5 Steelman

So it came down to tiebreakers and who was closest to the highest score of the week, 193.8. Magic's guess was 150, and Steel's was 133. Magic was the closest and will advance. Thank you for playing, Steel!

Now, we let the rest of you make your picks!

Well, that was certainly a week. It seemed everyone on the team played well, and we came out with a big win over the Explorers. This week, we head out on the road to Salt Lake City for a battle of the top two scoring teams in the AltFL this season. With three teams atop the East at 7-1, every game is a big game, and we're looking to get the win and keep at least a share of the East Division lead. Showing off the standard road uniforms for this week is Defensive Lineman, number 10, Uchenna Nwosu!
