“Riverdale Rumble August 2010 round 1

I went into this game fully expecting to suffer at least 2 SI or worse, and I wasn't disappointed. The loss of Ben Horne wasn't that bad, he was already -AG. Jerry Horne's demise hurt a bit more as he was healthy and had 3 SPP. For the loss of 2 players, I was also disappointed in only getting 2 TDs. The 1st TD came from a Blitz! on the first kickoff and SirOrange was not able to keep up with my faster elves. The 2nd TD also came in the first half with the Firewalkers on defense. It would seem that the Khemistry players got a little confused about who was receiving and set up in their kickoff formation. After that, SirOrange settled down and went into the 2nd half with a grudge and a determination to keep me out of his endzone. The Firewalkers were marching to what seemed like an inevitable 3rd TD but a brave 1-die blitz by a skeleton lineman (forget which one) scored a POW after 2 GFIs and the elves were never able to regain full control of the ball. There were a number of failed pickups and throws (all 3+ or lower) but I was out of rerolls by this point. The last 2 turns were rather comical as Bobby Briggs first fumbled a throw, then survived a mummy blitz when SirOrange rolled double skulls with no rerolls. With Special Agent Dale Cooper wide open and within reach of the endzone, Bobby muffed the pickup. SirOrange had set up his players so that it was possible to get a late score, and made all the blocks, blitzes and the pickup that he needed and even nailed the throw. Unfortunately, skeletons don't make good receivers and the game ended with a skeleton dropping the accurate pass.

Thanks for the game SirOrange, and good defense in the 2nd half. I'm glad your boys were a little disoriented in the first half, otherwise this might have gone to OT and I was running out of healthy players :)

Skills():
