“Unfortunately, we lost... For the play-by-play, there's the replay. What I give you here is our personal Doctrine report.

What went wrong and what went right?

We had a fine first half. We took out some opposing players right off the bat, and took control of the ball, scored in the mid to late-half, after a little bit of scrambling around, and all was good. The Warpers did not equalise either. However... We were losing players by then, and in the second half, we were severely outnumbered, and the Underworld Troll was in a good groove too.

The second half was out of our hands, as the Warpers had good numbers, and could easily outposition and foul us every moment. They scored early enough for another drive, in what would otherwise have been a draw... And kicked very close to the Line of Scrimmage! While we claimed the ball, and ran out receivers, the Doctrine was not sufficiently defended against a sack against the ball, and the turnover was easy for the Warpers, who took the victory through that moment, which would have been avoided had the kick been different or had we played for complete safety.

Lesson of the Match?

Sometimes, taking risks to score opens you up for a loss.
