Freak Blizzard in San Dogo!
San Dogo wins 2-1 over Fangas City in seasonal opener.

SD wins the coin flip and elects to kick, as a freak blizzard sets in. FC sets up for a strong forward run which is read perfectly by the SD defense but not reacted to. SD tries to lock up FC's weak south side, FC counters by moving northern players to the zone, but tightens up its drive allowing SD to surround and weaken FC's cage. FC breaks the ball free, but blood lust starts taking its toll, Tyson Jackson and star thrall Wes Camp are out of the game already as FC is forced to score, giving SD a 5-turn drive.

FC sets up its defense with strong vampire safeties nestled 4 deep. SD sets up a soft south side drive as the blizzard begins to fade. SD's initial push is stong, knocking out a line thrall and isolating Jamaal Charles, forcing the apo to keep him in the game. FC commits strongly to the south drive and SD counters by forming a middle-north cage, injuring one of its own players in the meanwhile. FC continues to lose players from blood lust and SD blocks and although they break the cage and injure SD quarertback Ryan Leaf, they remain too outnumbered to take advantage of it and SD scores at the halftime whistle. Very close call though for SD.

The second half opens with SD's offense and FC having to field 9 players due to only recovering 1 of 4 KO'ed players. SD has the full 11, and the man advantage is further enhanced when the fans stun two vampires at the kick off. SD's initial drive takes 3 more FC players off the pitch and even though FC manages to injure Ryan Diem, they are too outnumbered and quickly run out of thralls and indeed players entirely.

Clutch moment of the game: Julius Carol failing to pick up the ball after Tony Moeaki knocked it loose, a play that had the potential to set up a 2-0 second half lead for FC.

MVP of the game: Chris Growlkowski for his solid presence in SD's first half drive and his key pick up on the last turn of it.

Correctly predicted: Jeffro, Licker, Happygrue, Lorebass, Relezite

LOL "blizzard" is how San Doggans pronounce the word you call "drizzle".

The Superbowl that Almost was!
Philhala and Houston tie 1-1.

It was raining in Houston and would not cease for the entire game. Philly won the coin toss and not wanting to suffer the wrath of the Houston line, elected to receive. Houston set up with a tight linebacker spread but a loose line. Philhala set up strong on the line with Chris Harison deep to receive. A solid kick saw the ball land in the south endzone. Philly knocked the line down and KO fouled a saurus. Houston responded in kind, isolating Thorlakr Thorgeirson and fouling him, causing a serious injury that was quickly cured. Philly drove strong south as The Justin Killer managed to KO a second saurus. A skink was also KO'd, but an 8-man foul on a 3rd saurus led only to the player's ejection. Houston would turn around and KO foul TJK as well leaving the pitch 8 on 8. Chris switched attacks from south to center and back again and at the end, the lizards could not catch him. 1-0 Philly with a 2-turn drive for Houston, which fizzled.

Second half TJK did not return despite two rolls with a babe. Philly set up the wide-E defense with a loose line. Houston played all 7 beaters on the line. An unfortunate string of dice almost let Chris get away with some of the shenanigans he is famous for, but he rolled snake eyes on a dodge. Jeramethrius Bluetooth threw his one block of the game and it was a doosy, seriously injuring Glover Quin. Chris was 6-man fouled twice, but as usual was too pretty to be anything more than KO'd. The talents of Owen Daniels would prove to be too much for Philly, and Houston scored, tying the game at 1-1 and leaving 5 turns for Philly's rebuttal.

Both Chris and TJK would return for the final drive. The opening series of blocks went south for Philly, resulting in only a single prone skink. Houston sent a 2 man attack north, man marked Philly's receiving threat and sent the rest of the team to block the south drive. Chris moved south into a cage as Philly traded an ejection for a badly hurt saurus. Once again Chris went south to center as TJK took out a skink. Houston kept up with the pitch control though, and the numbers were mostly matched. The game ended with a failed attempt by Philly to move the ball north, and Houston had no nearby players to capitalize. Final score: 1-1

Clutch moment of the game: Chris Harison tripping after retrieving the ball on Houston's second half drive.

MVP of the game: Chris "Pretty" Harison, whose mobility forced the positioning of Houston's players for over half the game.

Two Left Feet!
A rough start for the Lothern Bay Bolt Throwers as they lose 0-2 to the Gnawleans Stanks.

Gnawleans wins the toss and elects to receive, after buying a wizard with just enough inducement money. LB sets up a strong wide 4-line defense with a wide line to avoid the beast, while Gnawleans sets up a strong line, but leaves a warrior slightly back. Gnawleans opening push is weak, only downing two elves and failing a pass. LB commits to man-marking the forward line and makes the very bold move of sending Charleton Breeze deep to mark the ball. Gnawleans immediately deploys the wizard to bolt off Charleton and then attempts a weak foul with a non dp player before any blocks, luckily without consequence. LB starts losing players, first a lineman is badly hurt by the beast, then a failed dodge leads to apoing Tyrus Gladroon. Additionally a dragon warrior is surf ko'd. Gnawleans continues to try weak fouls on Charleton to no effect/consequence. Another surf KO and the matchup is already 11 to 7 in Gnawlean's favor. The most tragic moment of the match occurs shortly thereafter when Charelton is murdered on yet another non-dp 2 man foul without ejection. After chewing up the field, Gnawleans scores on turn 8 making it 1-0. On the free block turn, LB manages to BH the beast, but he regenerates and instead a catcher is banned for a weak foul.

As bad as it has been, LB is still fielding 11 players at the start of their second half drive which sees Gnawleans employing a wide and deep defense with the narrow line. LB does not choose to send receivers down the open wide zones, instead focusing on protecting the ball for a longer drive. Without receivers to worry about, Gnawleans employs strong man marking on LB's forward line. LB forms a backfield cage to prevent ball pressure, but without anyone behind the Gnawleans line, the pressure is too great. Another LB player gets surfed, and Gnawleans continues to march up the field. LB tries to force their way through the center with the backfield cage, and almost breaks free with the ball but falls prey to Gnawleans safety Az-zahir Hakim. Gnawleans add some extra MNG injuries to the top and there's no stopping Az-zahir driving in the second TD and winning the game. 2-0 Gnawleans.

Clutch moment of the game: The death of Charleton Breeze, denying LB it's most formidable one turn touchdown threat.

MVP of the game: Wild" Az-zahir Hakim scored two touchdowns this game was basically untouchable.

In fairness to my picks, I took that "Post winners! " line in the OP to mean we had to pick winners... I wasn't thinking about ties or I would have picked some. Ah well.

Retcon your remaining picks for ties. It doesn't matter if you change it as long as you do it before the game starts.
