Had to go against the Butcher Boys, but I was favorite since they were missing two BOBs yet had to give away 3 handicaps. The handicaps turned out not to do much, and me getting outbashed kept the balance in check. First drive I KO their entire LOS and score relatively comfortably, but my DP getting mng'd and Ripper getting KOd meant I couldn't afford to stall. Second drive is where I start getting outbashed but it kept them busy enough to not have a player in range to score by turn 7. Second half, they started with 8 players and break through but a failed GFI left the ball open for me to pick up, after which I scored 2-0 and win the game. There was one last drive, ttm attempt crashed the goblin with the ball and from there I ran away with it. Not sure if I wanted to do the aging roll at 51spp... probably should've but it failed anyway.
“I have to admit that I didnt have any hopes of winning this, considering my 2 missing BoBs and the 3 handis I had to give away ... that three of my players decided to have a party in the KO Box after the first turn did the rest. Looking back, I think that I really had a chance of at least getting to OT here and if I learned anything today then it is that I wont give up a game during the prematch sequence again ... or at least I will try to ;)
Btw that doesnt mean that torso didnt deserve the win - after all he kept a cool head which I didnt ... for example during my offense in half one when I blocked my own path to a TD attempt - such stupid mistakes shouldnt be rewarded, so my loss was just.
Thanks for the game - Hope to see you again on the pitch”
