“NWFL Season 4 Rd 4:

Under ideal weather the Suckers and the Platypi continued their longstanding rivalry. The Suckers received but were immediately Blitzed by the Human scum, but to no big effect. Asmodai retrieved the ball and began a push up the left hash. The Platypi defense was stout however and forced a reversal, racking up some KOs and Cas in the process. The reversal went well but the Buffalo team responded in kind. The Suckers swung the ball back left and went for a score up the left sideline with the aid of a hypnogaze, but Chump couldn't manage the dodge and down he went!

James Lofty swiftly surfed Asmodai, but he slipped through the crowed unscathed. While trying to get back to cover the ball Lofty tripped, and that provided all the opportunity that Counting needed. With some nifty footwork and a couple of dodges Counting scooped up the ball and trotted in for a 1-0 lead. One! One Touchdown Ah Ah Ah!

The Platypi received with two turns left and the Suckers had set up deep. The Buffalo team flooded midfield to give themselves a plethora (yeah, that's right, a plethora) of scorers, including Lofty in a deep cage but the Sucker defense set up a solid screen. Turns out it was unnecessary as Lofty bobbled the handoff to end the half.

The second half started with the Platypi up 11v9, and they quickly added to their advantage when Platypi Star Bryce Pulp KILLED rookie Thrall Devoros in the first turn. Despite this setback the Suckers continued to play solid defense, foiling every attempt by the human team to move the ball deep. Gustav the Timid even managed to put the boot to Thermal Thomas and the devastating foul caught the Platypi coaching staff flatfooted as the Apo was called in too late to heal the debilitating injury!

After another Cas the Humans were up 10v7 and in control. With the help of an assist from Counting Asmodai got a 2d blitz on ball carrier Jim Killy, but even with a rr could only manage a push. But the push put Killy next to Geroghe who promptly flattened his ass. The loose ball bounced around a bit, but Asmodai was finally able to recover the ball after Killy failed a handoff to Bleedslow and he passed the ball off to Counting.

Still the Platypi refused to quit and pressured the ball after moving Biscuit Bennet into scoring position. DareKill Talley flattened Counting and Kent Hulk gathered up the ball and handed off to star Bryce Pulp. The tie looked all but assured, but then Bennet fummbled the handoff on T8 and blew the sure tie!

Once again the Suckers pulled out an improbable result after getting pounded all game. Coach Ironcollar was quoted during the post game press conference:

"Sigmar damn it, this is getting old! Game after game and the Suckers are barely competitive! This team had better pull it's collective head out of their asses and get it together. Yet another game where our opponents held a decisive advantage and we barely managed to stay in the game. Yeah, we lucked out a win, but it's high time this team played up to their potential! Double drills for everyone next week! Yeah , you too Counting!!!!

Coach Ironcollar was again questioned about failing to call in the apo:

"Blleeeeeeep you! Bleep bleep bleep! You try and manage a Vampire team you Bleep desk jockey bleep bleep!"
