Two low TR teams, Dark Elf vs Skaven (agility teams) sounds like luck has to have an impact on the game (high TR and bashers use to play safer)
To pile on this, both of you focused more on blocking than on protecting the ball in your offense drives and that led to quite long passes (that means a lot of chaos and gives weight to luck over skill)
Finally, 2nd half you failed a lot of ag rolls, but 1st half the rats took good damage
Still, it looks like you played with more sense... and lossed. This is a matter of statistics, such things happen sometimes, but in the long run skill makes a difference.

I haven't watched the replay. But from time to time no matter how good you are, how much of an advantage you may have with your team, Nuffle will make you lose. All the strategy in the world won't matter if you fail the first roll of your turn 2 or 3 turns in a row, especially if that roll is a 2+.
Or sometimes your luck will be normal but the guy opposite will just dominate you with his dice. Lots of armour breaks and injuries with elves, or just plenty of 5+ pick ups and passes with ag 2 with endless GFI's.
These sorts of games used to frustrate me and make me angry. Now I just accept them and try to speed the game up as much as possible so the pain ends sooner. Some games my luck will be quite nice and everything will go smoothly, so there has to be a cost for that.
What Nuffle gives with his left hand he takes with his right.
