“This match started amazingly bad for me. A turn 0 blitz! kick-off result saw the codgers with the ball, and my blitz action snaked, leaving me at their mercy the first drive. However, some fouls and hits didn't really hurt much (1 KO) while I did some damage.
After a score on turn 5, I got the ball back to recover the half... Blitz! again. This time the ball was deep enough not to be snatched instantly, and because Dustbunny overextended I could advance fairly safely with a passing play. Except: fireball on my 4-man sideline cage: BH pomber, KO'd statfreak ballcarrier, and the other 2 prone. Looks like an easy 2-0, but the dodge catcher stalls a turn, gets pow'ed (no RR) but then a 3+ 3+ 1 die 2+ 2+ play sees the codger's star dancer score on turn 8 after all.

A failed oneturn attempt (4 pows on the first 4 dice =) leaves the second half looking grim. Although some BHs on rookie linos mean I'm playing 11 vs 8, I'm still 2-0 behing and kicking... Blitz! 2-1.

Now we're playng 11 vs 7. The codgers try to play conservatively, hanging way back with most of their players, while only sending 2 out to threaten a score. With enough players to mark those AND threaten the cage, Dustbunny is pressed hard, and some ones leave him open. 2-2

The final drive, 3 turns to go and both teams looking for the winning TD. A guarded sideline cage makes a sack tricky and the result unpredictable. Instead I clog up the side and blitz out the wardancer. Rather than dodging the ball from my diving tackle, Dustbunny makes a blocking play in place, and I manage to clog the side up enough that sidestep isn't enough to prevent a surf. A last pass and run for a final score of 3-2.”
