“Quite a game. This was one of those games that is good to remember why one should never give up.

To start the game, we lost the fame roll big time (both had 3 FF, but opponent got +2 FAME - which worked for him gaining 3 RRs throughout the game). First half started slightly okay - as we got a CAS on a blocker - but opponent used apoth and we just got our butts crushed after that. We actually had several 2d shots on the ball, but our RRs were used up fast on double skulls - we managed to knock the ball free on a 2d block, but then very next block was another double skulls. End result was we suffered 4 CAS (we used apoth on one BH) and a KO on our rat ogre who failed both KO wakeup rolls at the end of the half. We were going to try to one turn the ball, but perfect defense ended that hope.

So, after a dismal first half - we started the second half with 7 vs 11 and down 0-1. We always go for the win - so pushed sidelines and scored a two turn TD. Even better our rat ogre woke up - so it was 8 vs 11 now. However, still we struggled, on turn 3, we snaked a gfi trying to mark the ball. A hobgoblin handoff and they were streaking down the field. On their turn 4, they had the opportunity to score, but decided to stall...and that is when our luck started to change. We took a 3+ dodge for a 1d blitz (50/50 shot) on the ballcarrier. The ball was loose and so one GR picked it up and longbombed it down the field to the other GR. The ball was knocked free on a long blitz by a hobgoblin - but still we had our chance - our one GR failed the gfis again - burning our last RR and exposing the ballcarrier to another blitz - but this time the bull failed to drop our ballcarrier - and this allowed us to score on Turn 7 of the second half. Two turns left for the CDs - but the ballcarrier snaked a gfi moving downfield and that was game as we nailed the only player in scoring position.

Overall, a game where everything went wrong for the vast majority of the game - but then our armor held up better in the second half - and one good turn turned around the game and we stole a win.

Hard fought and fun - thanks for the game!”
