“The match started well for me with a Pitch Invasion in my favor and a fast possesssion and score, but quickly went downhill from there. Despite almost exclusively only taking rolls where I had a 2+ chance of success or better, I failed most, yes MOST of them with horrible results. The fact that most of these were ball handling rolls added tremendously to the frustration.

It wasn't just the ball handling rolls, but the little things like kick offs. I managed to kick the ball 3 squares most times even with Kick, one time resulting in a TB.

While it ended up not mattering much due to other rolls, there were two or three times my opponent dodged into two TZs successfully, one time picking up the ball on the way... all with no RRs. I recall him fumbling a pick up once, but thereafter only became dispossed of the ball through failed dodges or getting blitzed (the two times I was able to advance my turn far enough to blitz).

I don't even want to get into the anemic money I've been consistantly rolling... even 10k more would leave me with 11 players next game (assuming I don't cave and buy another linemen... not likely).

In the end I guess I'm lucky to come out with a tie and no deaths. Things could be worse. Through all of this my opponent was a good sport and worthy opponent.”
