“Arg...one of those games where nothing goes right.
I recieve first half. Opponent has a kicker, ball lands real close to the LoS. I fail to pick up first turn, and skaven surround the ball. Second turn I pick up the ball, but I fail the handoff to move to ball to safety. Opponent scores.
It's okay, I can stall it out and end the half 1-1...right? Again, ball near the line, and kickoff is: Blitz! Opponent scores.
Well, I'm gonna lose, but I get at least one drive before the end...right?! Ball near the line...again...and then it's Blitz! Again!! Half ends 3-0 Skaven.
Now it's his drive...I kick...bad kick. I get a 2 die blitz on the ball, with block/tackle against his unskilled gutter...but only pushes. I do however, manage to surround the ball carrier with a tackle and a diving tackle. Things go better this half though, and I'm able to actually...hit stuff without complete failure. When I finally get the ball out, it's T5. Still, I just run the ball down field, and he's got no tackle downfield. T6...ofc he rolls pow on my ball carrier. He gets the ball, runs...throws it way down field...accurate pass...but luckily his Storm Vermin can't catch the ball. I blitz the SV away from the ball, and grab the ball. T7, I run the ball down field to an open skink who can run out of range of any blitz...dropped ball...rerolled...dropped. Arg.
T8, I just need to free the ball from the TZ it's in and then grab the ball, easy run down field for my only TD this game. Two die block against the gutter in the ball's TZ...skulls...with no rerolls...thanks nuffle.
While the dice sort of were a bit nicer to me 2nd half, the first half was torture. Every thing I did seemed to fail. Line of skaven...only bring one down with 4 two die blocks. I foul...doesn't even break armor and ref sees it...and coach is banned from game for arguing. I know my sauri are under skilled...but rolling pow/skulls every single block??
And then his luck. Similarly to my two dies working like one die blocks, his one die blocks worked like two dies. It was like...every single one die showed pow. My blodger saurus might has well been a skink...without dodge: he was taken down every single block.
Sorry for this rant, but this is the second game in a row these Lizards that should have been pretty easy...but the dice decided that the Lizards needed to be punished. The only good thing about this game was no injuries.”
