“Good game, very close all the way to the end.

1st half, I got the ball and marched up the field, but never in a proper cage. Short Round bravely carried the ball through the opposing orc line and was breaking away, but got marked. A double skull meant that he got blocked and taken down the next turn, but I had a decent position to recover from that, and I did. Managed to get 2 pass completions from Dan to Short Round in the same drive! and went up 1-0. Only 1 turn before the half, so even though it wasn't a designed stall, it worked out as one.

2nd half was back and forth all half, with the orcs twice failing to complete a pass to a waiting player either in the EZ or one square out. I was able to barely get players back to cover the ball after the 1st pass, but that was almost for naught as the crowd threw the ball in nicely for my opponents on the last turn. Only a failed catch in the EZ saved the win for the Pain Dealers!
last play that almost worked was nice...1 die blitz to push (and knock down) my player onto the ball in the EZ (RR used here to get the push). It bounces out of bounds and gets thrown around to mid field. The player that blitzed had to GFI to get to the EZ. A lineorc gets to the ball, picks it up and makes a nice pass to the waiting player (I think it was a long pass, but could have been a short one..no it was long). Pass accurate, but the catch was failed...dodged a bullet!
