Another season ending loss

Lobster Spartan vs Silverbacks on 2017 Playoffs game

Inactive Players : Rookie DT Kefas BB, DE Irfan Naufal, WR Rpbbi Baihaqi.

Rookie D-Tackle Kefas BB absen 2 straight game, big loss for LS. Bertanding melawan Silverbacks menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi LS. Dari 2016 season, 5x pertemuan; yg awalnya bernama Aquila hingga menjadi Silverbacks, LS belum pernah menang. 3 pertandingan tahun lalu, 2x kalah [Playoffs dan regular season] dan 1x berakhir imbang.

1st Half.

      Offense kembali dipimpin oleh 3rd string QB, Hasbi Azhar yg memang masih belum sembuh total akibat hamstring. 2 plays later, Habek pass intended to Tigo SH but a little too far, which ended INT by Silverbacks, not just pick, but a pick 6. 1st drive ended not really well. 6-nothing for Silverbacks.

      2nd drive. Minimize the mistake by run the ball. Ardha75 at running backs memberi beberapa gain yards dan 1st down. 3rd down to 5, Habek sent the deep pass to Singa, and catch by the rookie! Diaz Wildansyah. on the redzone. Tapi sayang, Diaz harus keluar dari pertandingan akibat cedera kaki pada play tersebut. Very next play, read option play habek kept the ball and touchdown! Namun sayang, LS gagal mendapat poin tambahan pada PAT.

      Defense masuk di pimpin oleh 2 leading category in the league; Deflagging by SS Abibeeh [32], Sack by OLB Lucky Nahar [17]. DE Jolly makes some good adjusments on running game. Memaksa SB bermain pass. Namun OLB Rahadian Aryo juga memiliki cover yg apik. Menghasilkan turnover. Half 1 berakhir imbang.

2nd Half.

      Offense Silverbacks memulai game di babak kedua. Pelan tapi pasti, mereka berhasil meredam pressure dari Lucky. 2x first down, dan kini masuk red zone. Lucky melakukan foul roughing the passer pada 2nd down & Goal, menyebabkan Silverbacks maju hingga 1 yard di depan endzone dan fresh 1st down. Defense LS memiliki performa cukup apik berada di dalam redzone. Tercatat dari 9 total visit dari offense lawan atau total 36 snaps, LS just give 2 TDs; all 2 against Crocodile. 

      LS going zero all drive. Pada play pertama, S Tigo SH berhasil menggagalkan play, nice challenge by him. Play kedua, OLB Farhan Rafis berhasil melakukan sack! 6 total [postseason + regular season]. 3rd and Goal, another sack from fito! kembali menjauh dari endzone. 4th down, giliran Lucky yg melakukan sack. namun, terjadi foul, roughing the passer, kembali dilakukan lucky. Another 1 yeard TD opportunity & another 4 times try for Silverbacks. This drive takes a lot of gases from our defense. The very next play, QB sneak make them score. 12 - 6.

      Waktu terbuang banyak setelah play defense tersebut. Tersisa kurang dari 3 menit. Hasbi Azhar who led the league in return, sukses membawa offense memulai 'drive terakhir' di tengah lapangan. Ardha75 run 4 yards to get the 1st down. Flag penalty on 2nd down makes the offense back for 10 yards. 2nd year WR Ahmad Shultan makes an incredible catch on 3rd down and long, memberi nafas baru bagi offense.

      2 minute warning dan waktu semakin menipis. 2 percobaan awal setelah 1st down gagal. Deep ball for Raynaldi Edo catch in the endzone! Touchdown! but flagged. Another flagged for holding penalty. LS challenged it. Challenge unsuccessful. No TD. Offense failed to making plays at 3rd and 4th down. Turnover on down.

      35 seconds left, 1 Timeout remaining. Membuat Silverbacks berada di atas angin. Smart plays for just run the ball wasting time. 12 - 6 end of regulation. Another heartbreaking loss. 6 games against Silverbacks, still cant win.
