Handicaps: Virus, It Wasn't Me and Morely's Revenge, leaving me with 8 or 9 players every single drive. Oh well, that is what happens when you give up so many handicaps so no real complaints, it just made it a one sided game immediately.
Some crappo luck: Getting Blitzed when his defence was weak and I was set up to punch through one side, missing some critical 2+ and 3+ dodges with rerolls etc.
Rustiness: Haven't played this game in over 6 months.
I made a silly mistake early in the game when I had his defence busted wide open. I attempted an unneccessary pass when I should have just let him try and take the ball off me one on one as I had support not far away to recover the ball if he managed to get a pow.
From then on, it was game over as I kept making the non critical dodges, but failed the ones that would set up a score or possibly stop one.
With only 8-9 players vs 11 with a fair number of Guard, AG4 and Strength 4+ it was always going to be almost impossible.
No money and -1 to FF as well. Why did I come back???
Three things killed me.
