“2 failed attempts at sacking and recovering the ball proved to nearly lose the game for me.

First half I had to kick. I dont like kicking against blorks because youre almost guaranteed to lose a player. And regular orks start to suffer positioning when down 2 players. We did that dance in the middle where I have a screen and hes moving form one side to the other, picking a lane, and were seeing who wants to tag first. He did tag and it opened up to some blocking. I managed to get a blitz on the BC and popped the ball loose. I recovered it, but on a following dub skull, he was able to knock the BC down and recover with a gobo. I had this almost covered, thinking tackle would stop the other gobo from getting through. But sometimes you just make all the dodges. I attempted to blitz the BC and failed a rush. Opp scored.

I set up for an OTTD, good throw and landed but scattered too close to attempt a TD.

When I received, I actually used the thrower and a gobbo downfield for a passing TD. I think the wizard is what drove me to do this - like even if I managed a little control - fireball - gg. I spent a ton of rerolls failing the rush, the pass, and the catch (pass was a built in RR).

Defense looked like bad news bears. I mean, I didnt tag too much in the beginning. I let him come to me. I set my safeties back. But he started removing players. When the ork AV doesnt hold, its a bad day. And it looked really bad for a bit until I 2 die uphilled the troll, did 2 3 plus dodges, and 2 rushes, to knock the BC down. Even then, my opp could have scored but failed the final 3 plus pickup - if it worked this way he was paying for all those tackle dodges that worked.

Takeaways:

- I liked how blorks just kind of tagged everything. And I guess when you have a big strength line, you can do that. Maybe I need to start doing that a bit on defense as I usually wait for the opp to tag.

- I had 2 failed blitzes on the BC, both RRd, with a blitzer. Thats really bad luck. But Im wondering if I SHOULD have taken those shots? If I didnt, Id have 2 safeties still. Im still thinking on this.

Good game with a great opp. Happy for a draw with everything that went wrong. ”
