“OK, I have to take a second and comment on this match. First, congratulations to Coach Yokomojoyo. He got the win so he deserves some props.

Still, I have to say that this was the most frustrating game I have played on defense in a very long time. Repeatedly, the Forge Guard ball carrier was exposed to wide open blitzes with a reroll in my pocket only to have him standing with the ball after taking the hit. Yoko did not cage the ball carrier at all. The blitzes were more than routine, but the guy stayed standing.

When I did get the ball free, I scooped it with my witch elf. When he blitzed, it was not with a player who had tackle, but with a blitzer and still she went down.

Twice, I had a man standing on the sideline to be pushed out of bounds only to roll skulls and both downs.

My scoring drive went as planned, but after watching the replay, I am convinced there is not much more I could have done on this one. Nuffle simply decided to smile on his ball carrier. When Nuffle screws with me, it is usually with my armor failing. This time the victory was always within my grasp, but the silly ball would not come free.”
