“I have to comment more matches as I'm getting to old to to remember them.
So I'm going to start with this one:
Again an opponent who didn't speak (ok: write) too much during the game. A remarkable exception was the nice sentence "Go f*** yourself!" (censored on behalf of innocent children viewing this :-).
But I understand, It must be hard playing against 7 or less elves since turn 4 - treeman didn't make it past the first turn, apo failed - and not having the (coaching) ability to stop them. I thought to be lucky, a Blitz for me in the first kickoff, but it ended without serious consequences for the undead. Then he hit me, got the ball carried it towards the endzone and made his first big mistake: he tried to stall and kick out more elves but "whatever goes around, comes around", I managed to get the ball and now stalled myself safely till the end of the first half. 1:0
I started the second half with 5 players, 5 more didn't recover from KO. Receiving the ball doesn't help much, without players, especially when 11 Undead foul out more elves. 4 Players left the ballcarrier stays in his own endzone, get's hit and the wight catches the bouncing ball in spite of the pouring rain. 1:1
Second drive of the second half , 6 players, hooray. Undeads bashing, Elves dodging, ball bounces around, he tries to safe it with four players around. I Blitz and Block and manage a lucky catch with a block/dodger. His Blitz doesn't succeed, I dodge out, 2 GFI, short pass to TD. Yippi I yay! 2:1
From the sparse conversation I guessed he would foul in his bashing turn, but I was wrong and probably he was just upset when things didn't go like he expected them. But he kept being sportsmanlike, enough said.
Concluding remark: I'm not used to playing elves and I'm not good at it. But I start to understand some things about elf tactics. And to sum up this game: excessive blocking is no method to defeat elves, if you fail to control the running routes of their players.”
