It turns out that when you take on a team of lizardmen players you should first check to ensure that they have been fed. My poor
Horse found out
the hard way. Not content with mere linemen, the lizards saw fit to tear the 3 remaining blitzers into shreads, and then eat them raw .. right in front of the remaining players.
I rarely retire teams for measly injuries, but after 5 dead in just two games, I think perhaps this time I might have to. Besides after having their fellow teammates eaten in front of them I can't imagine what's left of the team will want to return to the pitch!
