The Mashers scored on their first possession and never looked back as they defeated Madison 45-13 in the ASFLC Super Bowl. The first drive was primarily the ground attack by Ray Rice including a 5yd touchdown run. The next four touchdowns for the Mashers would come through the air as Drew Brees hit four different receivers for scores. The final one being a 51 yd touchdown to TE Vernon Davis. Madison was only able to muster two field goals until late in the game when Kyle Orton hit Greg Olsen on a 5yd touchdown pass. Madison turned the ball over 4 times including 2 fumbles and 2 interceptions by Kyle Orton. The Mashers were able to hold breakaway threat Jamaal Charles to just 24 yards on only 8 carries. The MVP was Drew Brees who went 19-24 for 256 yards and 4 touchdowns for a qb rating of 150.7.
Congratulations to Jeff Smith on a great season as a first year coach in Madison. Also congratulations to Mike Capriotti of Memphis and Jeffrey Brown of Philadelphia for leading their respective teams to conference championship games.
Overall this season, the AFC was the stronger conference. Five out of the top 7 records in our league were in the AFC with the best two records being the Mashers and Philadelphia. While the Mashers only lost 1 game all season (division rival Bucky!), Philadelphia only lost 2 in the regular season (one to Blackburn and one to Mashers) and then lost in the playoffs again to the Mashers.
After the Mashers and Philadelphia, the next two best records were in the NFC with Chatham and DaGints both finishing 13-3. Both teams were upset in the first round of the playoffs. The final three teams with 10 wins or more were all in the AFC with Wisconsin winning 12 and Wauankee and Orange County each winning 10.
It will be interesting to see if the NFC comes back strong next year and catches up to the AFC or if the AFC continues its dominance.
After 7 seasons of the ASFLC, 6 championships go to AFC teams and only 1 to an NFC team. Here are the breakdowns:
Mashers - 4
S.F (now Orange County) - 1
Eau Claire (now Wyoming)- 1
DaGints (only NFC team) - 1
2009 Madison 13, 2009 Mashers 45
