“I had to fight hard for the draw, actually coming from behind in the second half and fending off a last chance by the elves in the second half.

Neither team played great defense this game. The opponent did an excellent job of spreading out my players, forcing me to worry about a HMP 'punt' into my end with nobody to go get the ball. As it was, I nearly got bashed into submission instead, as the elves used the passing threat to gang up on my spread out players and largely scored via the ground game (barring a last-second, no RR pickup and pass/catch for a 1st half TD). My Catchers generally had little trouble getting free, but getting the ball to them was more difficult. Fortunately, Block saved me a couple times by forcing a turnover due to Block vs non-Block attempts.

Block skill for both my rookie Catchers. Nice of Conan to give an MVP to somebody else. :)”
