0. GAMDAY (FRI. 28.06.2019)
Maykop Misfits @ Leverkusen Leopards -> Game -> Score: 3:6 Season opener for the second series of the Leatherhead-League. How fitting to have the defending champion, under a new name, and the team which is somehow connected with the commissioner facing off against each other in the very first game. 32734 visitors did see under clear blue sky a defense battle, after the pregame show, the hymn, the mini-concert and the ice-wagon passed through the stadium. The delay to start the game was kept to a minimum of 2 hours and then ... KICKOFF! Maykop and Leverkusen both did play conservative and their opponents did keep them in check. First highlight was the punt return by Fred Ziegelbrenner making 3 tacklers miss, and went down on the 4th defender, but only gained 12 yards. Leverkusen was by that close enough to make a move and went 1-2-3-field goal with a booming 54 yard kick by Siegmar Schulz. Homteam now ahead 3:0. The next few drives were also not that inspiring, beside the punt return by Misfits returner Jone Taase, sending 3 men flying and got down on the 4th tackle try after 13 yards. The 2nd quarter was dominate by the great special team play of the Leopards, which did send the ball always a bit deeper into the field then the drive before, so every time Maykop did get the ball, they started a bit deeper in their own half. And Leverkusen did get closer and closer into scoring range. With 3 minutes to go did they get it done and scored another field goal from 56 yards out for the 6:0 halftime lead. They even tried a 61 yarder 9 second to go, but missed it. The halftime show did bring in the same artists performing already in the pre game show, just with double speed since everyone already knows what's coming and to keep it less boring. So after just 1 hour delay the 2nd half started, with both teams a bit out of sync. It became more interesting when Maykop did get into their rhythm again at the end of the 3rd and made several 1st downs to start in the 4th quarter with 1st and goal. The Leopards defense did their best and had 2 crucial stops and allowed just one bigger gain and on 4th and 4th and 4 did the Misfits kick a field goal by Adejola Biobaku from 21 yards out, 6:3 Leopards. The Misfits did their best, but from that point on was it like a trench war, with no inches easy to earn and honestly were all visitors glad when the game was over. What's left is a good performance by Fred Ziegelbrenner with 72 yards rushing and 184 yards returning on Leopards side, which was a major impact. AS Roma Wolves @ Pretty Guinness Consumers -> Game -> Score: 6:3 (OT) AS Roma Wolves by Scratobones against Pretty Guinness Consumers was the 2nd game on gameday zero and we got a good one. 32330 visitors did chant the sponsors commercial hymn over the field, even while the national hymn were played, which caused some confusion. "We will go to battle with a fresh can of beer" might become a hit this season. Regardless, the kickoff was ... well ... kicked and returned and the game was on. The Wolves had the better start and went for a field goal from 37 yards out (René Suk) on their 3rd drive. The Consumers were lucky to not getting another field goal against them in the 2nd quarter, because the Wolves missed a 42 yarder. Unfortunate for them did also Robert Coker miss his 1st chance for field goal (ok, that was 63 yarder!) and did therefore not score the tie. The coach was still mad and since he thinks every kicker should kick at least from their own endzone a clean field goal, he did send out Coker again to get 15 ticks left on the clock a 70 yarder done. Well, it went short. 3:0 at the half for the Wolves. In the 3rd quarter did the Wolves then fumble the ball and the Consumer had their 2nd chance for a tie and ... missed again from 61 yards. "Coker the choker" did the fans chant. Not nice, but what do you expect from a bunch of people who did already destroy the whole beer reserve of the game at halftime? Finally Coker got his field goal end of the 3rd with a 51 yarder, which did look OK. Game tied at 3. The 4th quarter did start as usual, back and forth went the teams crowned with another missed kick by Coker, from 61 yards out. The coach went wild and was close getting his duck hunter gun, but the assistants did remind him that Coker is still a good player and eventually the demanded ranges were too much. That guy was fired, the rest went into the locker room. Lucky situation for the Consumer late in the 4th, when the Wolves got the ball deep in the Consumers territory and fumbled. That could have been the lead, but it was fumbled away. We go into OT! To make it short, back and forth, back and forth and no teams was able to seal the deal. Then, Cokers chance, from 46 yards out! EASY! AND MISSED! The coach went wild! Coker did cry. Another chance, from 66 yards, missed again! Coker cried like a baby. The coach was but on a stretcher and send to the hospital. The Wolves on the other hand did stay focused, marched a bit over the field and kicked the game winning field goal. Anti-Hero of the game: Robert Coker with 6 missed field goals. A positive note: Kwamie Whyte had 104 yards rushing on the day. Last edited on 2019-07-01 06:59:02 by jack6 |

1. GAMEDAY (SAT. 29.06.2019)
Landru Athletics @ Basterds -> Game -> Score: 0:20 (ruled) The Commissioner was angry on that moment when it became clear the whole preparation or the game, the stadium, the shows, the after-game-party and all the other stuff were treated like they were meaningless since the Athletics did decide to sit the game out and send some replacements playing ‚modern‘ football against the strong playing Basterds. “Can you believe it? Those replacements had 67 passing attempts! 67!” “I know! The game will be ruled. Unfortunately we can’t do anything regarding the other stuff, but this game will go down into the books as fraud” Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser @ BobBoy Magpies -> Game -> Score: 14:3 It was a sunny afternoon when 47001people did see the Wadenbeisser taking on the Magpies. The Magpies had the chance to score first when the Wadenbeisser, after some better drives, but never too dominant to score, suffered a fumble they lost in their own territory. The Magpies seemed a bit surprised to play on the opponents 25 yard line and were still not able to move the ball much, but thanks to the position they did kick a field goal and took the lead. Benedict Samuel kicked from 40 yards out. The home crowd was satisfied, but went into hibernation fast, if you define fast as in geological terms, because late in the 2nd quarter did Bobboy fumble also and gave the ball to the Wadenbeisser on the Magpies 5 yard line. Outsch! Prior to that was the game more like a lava stream (not the fast ones) and went back and forth on a very defense oriented battle. But now, showtime. Jens Petersen got the ball and punched it in for a TD, the first of the whole league this season! 7:3 lead for Wilmersdorf at the half. The 3rd quarter was dominated by the game of the Wilmerdorfer Granite vs Bobboy Basalt, both lines almost not moveable, with a slightly advantage for the Granite … sorry Wadenbeisser. This went on until about 9 minutes left to play, when the Magpies did fumble again, of cause not THAT close to their endzone as last time, but still close enough. Wilmersdorf got the ball on the 15 yard line. And in a combined effort did the Wadenbeisser running game force their way to the endzone to score. Antonino Krause got the points, but Konrad Koecks run for 13 yards was the door opener. 14:3 for Wadenbeisser and the rest is history. The reporters did suggest a team name change to Wilmerdorfer Magma or similar, but that was declined. “We came here to bite and we did” was the official announcement from the management. Well ….. Wadenbeisser MVP was named the whole Running Game with combined 97 yards, while the Magpies did name Keith Cheek MVP with 25 tackles! Leverkusen Leopards @ OrangeCrush -> Game -> Score: 6:3 The Leopards had their 2nd game in 2 days. They did look OK, but the game did suffer likely a bit. 48418 visitors came to MileHigh Stadium, also known as the frozen Orange. The Crush did get the ball first, but were stopped and a gigantic effort on punt return by Fred Ziegelbrenner with 5 missed tackles and 43 yards did help the Leopards to get into scoring range. The offense did even lose yards, but Sigmar Schulz did kick the 55 yarder right through the poles and Leverkusen lead 3:0. It went then on back and forth and no team was able to get into scoring range, while the special teams did try to make things happen or to push the field position forward in their favor. Finally in the 2nd quarter did OrangeCrush get the ball deeper in Leopards territory and Kristian Wolf kicked the game tying field goal from 47 yards out. That was that for the half, only the Leopards tried to kick a last second field goal from 53 yards out shortly before the break, but it seems the surprising good field position did confuse Schulz and he missed it. The 3rd quarter was scoreless, thanks to another missed field goal my Leverkusens Schulz after one of the few good drives which even had a first down in it. 53 yards wide left. ‘Schulz it has to go THROUGH the poles’ was the lame shout from the stands by the single Leopard fans who made the trip. Then better drives and better special team plays did the Leopards slowly gain field position until they got the ball on the Crush 42 yard line. It was like now-or-never and they went on until they were stopped on the 31 yard line (a again of whopping 11 yards!). Schulz did not wait for long and kicked it in for 48 yards. 6:3 lead for the Leopards with less than 30 seconds to play. Over. Miroslav Wolff became MVP of the game by the Leopards, with 19 tackles. OrangeCrush did name their team mascot as MVP, so disappointed was the team by their performance. Pretty Guinness Consumers @ Chelt Nam Bobbers -> Game -> Score: 3:11 The Consumers did not look pretty on their second game in 2 days. But that was not the requirement, they just had to win this, which they didn’t. The manager blamed the bad fott supply on the road trip, the coach did blame the isotonic drinks and the players the forget-about-it-party on the bus over night. 49418 spectators were here to see the Bobbers playing their first game of the season and they got something for their money. First possession and they did fumble the ball away. Johnny Dau did walk back to the teamzone obviously ashamed, while the Consumers did laugh for now, claiming DAU to be short for Dumpest-of-All-Users is a fitting name. Bad taste and bad decision to make the Bobbers angry. The Consumers did use the cheap field position for a field goal from 22 yarder, Rober Coker did succeed here. From that point on, all Bobbers. Franklyn Garvin did fumble the ball away for the Consumers a drive later and Burt Lehman did kick a 38 yarder a few plays later to tie the game. Late in the 1st quarter did the Consumer try a 4th and 1 on their own 29 yard line and were stopped. Rumor is, Byron McCue, the tackling DT had a big smile on the face when he pushed the Garvin into the grass, 1 yard behind the line of scrimmage. The Bobbers wanted a TD, but had to settle for a field goal from 28 yards for the 6:3 lead. The rest of the quarter was dominated by short drives and punts. While the Consumers did rebel against the isotonic drinks during halftime did the Bobbers analyze the defense and offense of their opponent and came to the conclusion that while simple and easy to understand the talent of the players did compensate the lack of cleverness. A tough second half would come, but they were confident. The Consumers were on constant pressure since they always had to start near their own endzone and with less than 3 minutes to play in the 3rd did Billy Paxton, the defensive end, rush through the line and tackled Damiano Salas near the goal line. A quick consultation by the refs did reveal a safety. Bobbers leading 8:3 now and got the ball. Early in the 4th did the Bobbers get the ball in the Consumers half and did have the best drive of the day, went to the 30 yard line and hit the 47 yarder for the 11:3 final score. The Consumers did try to make things happening but were unable to move things. The Bobbers did even force a fumble near the end, but did just let the clock run out and that’s that. Rumor is, the Consumers had another forget-that-mess-drive home, while the Bobbers had a winning-party worth a super bowl win. Billy Paxton had 22 tackles with that crucial safety to become MVP. Chesterton Cheese @ Bretzfeld Bandits -> Game -> Score: 16:0 The 48466 fans of the Bandits did expect a massacre, no less than a convincing win here and the remaining season and their hybris was tested heavily already during the first game. The first quarter was a scoreless shuffle between the teams and the fans got already worried. The 2nd quarter did look the same, except the Cheese did get a good drive going with less than 9 minutes to play an sealed it with a 35 yard field goal by Osvaldo Greathouse. GREAT! OUR! HOUSE! Were the chants of the 6 cheese fans coming to town who were easily be heart, since the whole stadium did went silent when those 3 points were put on the board. Then after a few seconds the crowd went wild and screamed for revenge! But not today. The Cheese went into the half with the 3:0 lead and had another good drive in the 3rd , only to fumble the ball away in the Bandits half. Still they did play better and kept going until another great drive and another field goal (27 yards) did extend the lead. GREAT! OUR! HOUSE! Silent. REVENGE! YOU IDIOTS! Well, the Bandits fans were obviously disappointed. And it went further, when Roderick Goodwin, the great Cheese halfback, did end a great drive with a Touchdown to have a 13:0 lead. GOOD! TO! WIN! Rumble. *PEEP* *PEEP* *PEEP* And Greathouse did also kick another field goal from 20 yards out for the final 16:0 score. GREAT! OUR! HOUSE! Silent. (only 6 visitors left in the house, all Cheese fans). The Bandits did walk disappointed to the locker room while their fans were already half on their way home. Roderick Goodwin were named MVP with 344 yards rushing and a TD and 66 yards returning. Torchwood Aliens @ Amersfoort Alligators -> Game -> Score: 0:20 (ruled) The Alligators did give their 47473 fans an extra drink each after that strange thing the Aliens did deliver on their first game. Imagine you go for a chess competition and someone not only does not play by the rules, he brings even different playing tools and rules and a different board, like Risk or Stratego. The Alligators were to kind to correct things instantly, knowing the Commissioner would solve this out quickly. ’42 passing attempts are 40 too much’ Alligators get this game. Maykop Misfits @ AS Roma Wolves -> Game -> Score: 3:6 Wolves vs Misfist means tiered team vs tiered team, since both have played a day before. So no wonder the 48530 visitors did see a scoreless first quarter. The defense fronts were just too thick to penetrate. Only at the end of the quarter did the Misfits fumble and the Wolves got the ball on the Misfits 30 yard line. Motivated by that did the Wolves march forward and only short before the endzone did the Misfits defense turn things around enough to let the Wolves settle for a field goal. René Suk did hit the 23 yarder for the 3:0 lead. Then slowly did the Wolves win the battle for the field position over several drives and a nice return did they get the ball back inside Misfits territory and were able to kick another field goal for the 6:0 halftime lead from 48 yards out. In the 3rd quarter did the Wolves again got the ball in Misfits land, thanks to Lubomír Kindl and his 38 yard return including 5 missed tackles. The Wolves did gain just 3 yards and Suk did miss the 41 yard field goal by some inches. It did seem the Misfits had no luck at all, but late in the 3rd did the Roma HB Josef Rous fumble the ball and Maykop did get the ball on their own 41 yard line. Still some way to go, which there were not able to conquer. So they got their chances, but were unable to do something with it. There was only 1 short moment when hope got into the mind of the Misfits fans, late in the 4th did the Wolves again fumble and Maykop did kick a field goal from 49 yards out by Adejola Biobaku. So only 3 points behind now the fans did hope for a miracle, but the Wolves did not let it happen. They did not let the Misfits gain much further yardage and did control the ball to seal the win. The Wolves named René Suk MVP of the game. Last edited on 2019-07-04 06:38:19 by jack6 |

2. GAMEDAY (TUE. 02.07.2019)
Leverkusen Leopards @ Landru Athletics -> Game -> Score: 20:0 (ruled) The Landru Passlathics did get a warning from the Commissioner when the result of the game became visible. “43 passing attempts in a game? What is this here, Canada?” This game was ruled in favor of the Leopards, who went to sleep right after the game, playing 3 games in 5 days. Pretty Guinness Consumers @ Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser -> Game -> Score: 3:6 The Consumers went to Wilmersdorf and brought with them roughly 15 fans in pink costumes. The rest of the 49608 spectators were Wadenbeisser fans and they wanted a win, with a big W. The Consumers needed several drives to get into their rhythm but under 5 minutes left in the first quarter they got the ball on their own 20 and went all the way to the Wadenbeissers 39 yard line until they were stopped and had to settle for a 56 yard field goal, which Robert Coker did made. Wadenbeisser did answer with a good drive, but were stopped outside the field goal range, kept the Consumer short before their endzone after the punt and got the ball back on the Consumers 39 yard line. Wilmersdorf was unable to gain much yards in 3 tries but Zeeshan Haverman made the 53 yard field goal to tie the game at 3. It was not the end of the Consumers, but close. Shortly after they got another chance for a field goal, but Coker did miss the 58 yarder and the coach did again blame him for his pity leg power. Tied at 3 they went into the half. Both teams did play tough defense after the break until the Wadenbeisser were able to get a longer drive done, 5 and a half minutes left in the 3rd . They made it to the Consumers 33 yard line from their own 39 on and kicked a 50 yard field goal. Nobody knew that this 6:3 would be the final score then, but both teams were unable to get into scoring range again during the remaining time. Wadenbeisser were closest to that, but were stopped short before the internally set kicking range. Wilmersdord named D-Liner Marcus Lang with 43 tackles the MVP of the game. Bretzfeld Bandits @ OrangeCrush -> Game -> Score: 6:13 The Bandits did visit Orange Crush and 48384 people wanted to see it. On the sunny day it was not clear who will prevail, the line was is favor of OrangeCrush, but only by a few points. But it became a wild game. OrangeCrush got the ball first, but were unable to do something with it. So were the Bandits, but thanks to a shorter punt and better return did OrangeCrush get the ball in the Bandits half. A few plays later they were in range for a 53 yard field goal which Kristian Wolf did convert for the 3:0 lead. For a few drives it went back and forth until the Bandits had to punt from their own 25 yard line. Claas Becker returned the football and 6 missed tackles later, including the heavily overmatched Punter, and 67 yards in distance (without all the curves and cutbacks) was Becker in the endzone for a 10:0 lead. The Bandits fans were sad. The Bandits players went wild and on the next drive the QB had a blackout and when he came back to the teamzone he was asked why did do THAT? It turned out he did order a pass play (not forbidden, but has to be classical), and did play some kind of trickery every visitor was instantly ashamed of. The ball went somehow into the endzone, but the score was reversed by the ref and the ball was given to the Crush. At the end of the 1st quarter were the Crush even able to extent the lead by another field goal to 13:0. Early in the 2nd quarter did the Bandits gamble on a 4th and 1 on their own 43 and did fail to make the 1st down, which did thanks to their defense not result in additional points to the opponents. Less than 4 minutes to play in the half did then OrangeCrush fumble and the Bandits got their chance on the 14 yard line inside the Crush-Redzone. At the end of the game was the defense coordinator proud of his guys in that situation forcing the Bandits to kick a field goal from 33 yards out by Helmuth Schneider. 13:3 now, at the half. The 3rd quarter was highlighted by a missed kick by OrangeCrush and a drive which ended starting the 4th quarter by an OrangeCrush fumble. This time did the Bandits shot a field goal (41 yards) for a 13:6 score. It went further back and forth, but the Bandits were unable to make a stand and OrangeCrush did even miss another field goal /54 yards) but was able to secure the win until time ran out. The rumor about a phantom overtime which went almost 30 minutes and includes a game winning field goal by OrangeCrush are completely wrong. The rushing game of the Crush was named MVP today, having 174 yards in total (however they did that without the rumored ovetime ...) Amersfoort Alligators @ Chelt Nam Bobbers -> Game -> Score: 0:20 (ruled) It was late in the game when the manager of the Alligators came to the game between the Alligators and the Bobbers. “Did they get the memo?” he asked to the manager of the Bobbers, who looked to his colleague and moved his head from side to side. “Nope, I guess.” And pointed toward the field were the Alligators QB did again a deep ball. Incomplete, but regardless still a pass. At the end over 40 attempts were counted. “But I had a memo written to them. NOT TO PLAY THIS NEW MODERN *PEEP* *PEEP* PEEP* MOTHER*PEEP* idiotic kind of *PEEP* football. That’s so typical. The game was ruled for the Bobbers and the spectators were not that angry. Only the manager. Basterds @ Maykop Misfits -> Game -> Score: 6:3 The Wastelands had 48618 temporal citizens on the gameday between Basterds and Misfits to value a defense battle at it’s finest. It took both teams 10 minutes to draw first blood when the Misfits did seal a drive with a 36 yard field goal by Adejola Biobaku for a 3:0 lead. It took more than 10 minutes for the next highlight (except the bone crushing stops, the heavy hits and the disturbing shorts drives) which did feature a fumble by the Misfits on their own 45 yard line. Basterds did return the ball for 21 yards and were suddenly deep in Maykops territory. On 3rd and 8 did they then almost fumble their chance for at least a game tie away, but the ball was secured by them and the field goal from 39 yards was good by Viktor Kinigader. Now 3:3 the game went into the halftime with a bombastic rock’n’roll show by that famous band with that famous singer having only 1 leg, that famous guitar player having only 1 hand and the famous drummer having only 1 head. If I could just remember the name … MISSING SOMETHING or similar. It was great. 3rd quarter did feature a missed field goal by Maykop from 56 yards and a lot of gang tackles. It might be no fun to play running back in this league. The 4th quarter did look for or less the same, until under 4 minutes to play when the Basterds got the ball after a great punt return by Milos Graf and even if they were unable to get a first down, they did kick the leading field goal from 47 yards out. Maykop did try everything they could, but lost the game. After long discussion was Viktor Kinigader, the Basterds Kicker, named MVP. BobBoy Magpies @ AS Roma Wolves -> Game -> Score: 3:7 The 48751 Wolves fans were dozing in the sunlight when the halftime was announced. They did not miss much. The Wolves and the Magpies both were like a bunch of megalith stones, unmovable, unable to move by themselves. The drives went back and forth and only 30 tick left in the half did something happen, worth a note. The Magpies got the ball in the Wolves half and even made a first down, were then stopped and Benedict Samuel tried a field goal to get points of the board. The 37 yard shot was wide right and the teams went into the locker room. No score so far. The merchandizing most popular today was at halftime the Wolves snoozing pillow. Sold out after 5 minutes in the half. The 3rd quarter started and all visitors were starting to doze off again, when the Wolves got the ball on their own 9 yard line to return and Lubomír Kindl returned it with class and style. 6 missed tackles were counted, including the destruction of the overconfident punter and 91 yards later was Kindl the guy with the first points today. Wolves leading 7:0 suddenly and the fans were waving the pillows, which might become the signature move of the Wolves, future will tell. After that the megalith did return until the Woves did fumble the ball away on their own 12 yard line. Suddenly the fans were awake. D-FENSE! *pillow waving* D-FENSE! *pillow waving* The Magpies did try their best but had to settle for a field goal which they did sink starting of the 4th quarter from 29 yards out. Benedict Samuel was the Kicker. The remaining game can only be described as battle between continental plates with the same speed and force. The game ended with the 7:3 score and Lubomír Kindl with his 142 yards returning and 1 TD was named MVP. Torchwood Aliens @ Chesterton Cheese -> NO MATCH -> Score: 0:20 (ruled) The Aliens went off for a boat trip and did left the Chesterton Cheese behind like a box of stinking Cheddar. “We can not tolerate such behavior. The game is rules 20:0 for the Chesse. Cheers.” Last edited on 2019-07-05 08:24:16 by jack6 |

Landru Athletics @ Bretzfeld Bandits -> Game -> Score: 7:6 Bandits nation did send 32727 enthusiastic fans to see a win. The Athletics were not willing to grant that easily. Bretzfeld was so hot, they did try a 4th and 1 already on their 1st drive, but failed against the Landru Granitecs. After many 3 and out drives did Landru try the same late in the 2nd quarter and failed also against the Bretzfeld Granites. The big chance for the Athletics came, when the Bandits did fumble the ball away and Lundru recovered it mid-field. But as before were nobody able to move the ball, so both teams went scoreless into the half. The 3rd quarter did offer the same picture, but the Bandits were able to gain sometime a 1st down, which did help to change the field position. And with about 8 minutes to go did they hit a 50 yard field goal through the uprights, Helmuth Scheider did not miss on that chance. 3:0 for the Bandits. The fans went wild. Later in the 4th quarter did the Athletics fumble the ball and the Bandits got the ball on the 35 yard line, in field goal range. They did even crawl themselves to the 11 yard line until they were stopped and did then hit another field goal from 29 yards out for the 6:0 lead. The fans went into overdrive! The next drive of the Athletic started from their own 20 after a touchback and Jorge Thomas ran left, found an open space with no safety to tackle him, since that guy tried a blitz, and Thomas went all – the – way for a touchdown! The Stadium went silent. Next drive was a miss and then did Landru run out the ball. Over! Of cause was Thomas named MVP with his 80 yard touchdown run and 102 yards in total. Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser @ Amersfoort Alligators -> Game -> Score: 51:0 The Wadenbeisser were ready for a kill and got plenty of that. The Alligators had 31922 in their house who did see a bloodbath. The 1st quarter was still open and Wilmersdorf was only able to have one single longer drive, crowned with a 30 yard field goal by Zeeshan Haverman for the lead. The came the 2nd quarter and a great return by Wadenbeisser Jens Petersen of 33 yards, giving Wilmerdorf great field position. A few positions later did Eric Wagner get the ball and ran it for the score. 10:0 now. The Alligators got nervous, returned the ball instead of letting it go for a touchback and the next drive by the Wadenbeisser went over half of the field and ended with a 19 yard field goal, after a heroic goal line stand of the Alligators on the 1 yard line. Still 13:0 at that point. Not enough, since Wadenbeisser scored another field goal (49 yards) on the next drive, for the 16:0 halftime score (thanks to a 58 yard missed field goal by Wadenbeisser with time running out). But the Alligators went soft in the 2nd half and the Wilmerdorfer Wadenbeisser got a god drive after another. Konrad Koeck score twice in the 3rd quarter after long drives and Eric Wagner score shortly after the start of the 4th quarter for the 37:0 score at that point. Still not enough. Antonino Krause and Eric Wagner did score another 2 touchdowns so close the game with 51 points, while the Alligators went with zero points and zero self-confidence out of that game. The combined rushing attack of Wagner (3 TDs, 75 yards), Koeck (2 TDs and 134 yards) and Krause (1 TD, 197 yards) was named MVP. The QB with his 50 yards on top went almost unnoticed that way. OrangeCrush @ Basterds -> Game -> Score: 6:10 Orange Crush @ Basterds under the eyes of 32709 fans. Sounds wild? It was. First drive by OrangeCrush and they did fumble the ball away. Erdogan Schuschnig, the middle linebacker, did pick up the ball and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown. Several drives back and forth later did Orange Crush score field goal by Kristian Wolf from 55 yards out. 7:3 Basterds now. The next opportunity for OrangeCrush came mid 2nd quarter when the Basterds did fumble on their own 44 yard line and lost the ball. There was no return, but the Crush players were able to get into field goal range and Wolf did hit a 47 yarder for be just 1 point behind. After the half it went back and forth for several drives until OrangeCrush became lazy and did drop the ball again for the Basterds to recover, late in the 3rd quarter. Suddenly in Crush red zone the Basterds did play to get a TD, but the Crush players stopped them and the Basterds had to settle for a field goal from 28 yards out by Viktor Kinigader for the 10:6 lead. Everything was possible now. OrangeCrush did try everything and played as good as possible but Basterds did stay strong and secured the win until the game ended. Erdogan Schuschnig became the MVP with his fumble return TD and 12 tackles. Chelt Nam Bobbers @ BobBoy Magpies -> Game -> Score: 3:9 The house was not fully sold out when the Chelt Nam Bobbers did visit the BobBoy Magpies. Official numbers did say it were 30991 paying visitors, but experts did doubt that number and named the crazy seat color schema as reason. That made the stadium look more crowded than it seemed, they say. What that had to do with the computer system saying roughly 31 thousand tickets were sold and scanned is still a mystery. The Magpies did drew first blood in the first quarter by hitting 2 field goals (45 yards and a 40 yarder by Benedict Samuel) in the middle of the quarter. The Bobbers were unable to counter that, but were at least able to prevent further scores in the remaining time for the half and the teams went to the locker room again with 6:0 Magpies. The Bobbers came out of the half a bit stronger and better and were able to get into field goal range on their 3rd possession. Burt Lehmann did hit the 50 yard try for the 6:3 score. Early in the 4th quarter did the Magpies again had a great field position after a 40 yard punt return by Craig Frye with a lot of missed tackles and a great stop by Punter Jonathan Minton in the 24 yard line. The usual 3 and out went now 3 and field goal from 41 yards for the 9:3 lead. Bobbers did try to counter this, but were unable to move the ball regularly and the Magpies were able to secure the win. Benedict Samuel, the Kicker, was named MVP. AS Roma Wolves @ Leverkusen Leopards -> Game -> Score: 3:0 It was a game between 2 unbeaten teams as interconference game. The Leopards Arena did have 32659 fans standing in the ranks and awaited the kickoff. Leopards kicked the ball and the most boring game of the season was on its way. It did not look that bad at the start, both teams did play tough defense, but mid the 1st quarter did the Leopards fumble and the defensive end Richard Vymazal recovered it by falling on the rock. The Wolves had suddenly the ball on the 22 yard line and even made some yards extra but had to settle for a field goal from 31 yards out. René Suk did made that kick. From that moment on it was like watching to snails in slow-motion fighting over a piece of salad. They went into the half with the 3:0 score, came out of the locker room and continued to crunch their bodies against each other with no major results. The Wolves had their chance and had a quite good drive in the 3rd but fumbled the ball on the Leopards 28 yard line and the Leopards on the other hand treated that ball like a fair catch punt, so nothing out of that also. It went back and forth and at the end, when the referee did hold the ball up to end the game, it took 15 minutes for the visitors to wake up. The Referee was named MVP for having the spirit and constitution to guide through the whole game. Thanks god it’s over. The Wolves are still unbeaten, the Leopards not. Pretty Guinness Consumers @ Chesterton Cheese -> Game -> Score: 16:7 The unbeaten Chesterton Cheese did host the luckless Guinness Consumers (not so pretty anymore) on the Cheese Board. Still, 31720 interested Cheese fans did come to see the game and they were rewarded. But eventually different then they thought. First Cheese position and the produced a fumble. The QB Cameron Hostetler did run a keeper and was unable to keep the ball when he was hit by Néstor Sanz. BOOM! Balls loose and the Consumers got it, Sanz even was able to return it somehow 8 yards and broke down after that giant effort, 14 yards before the endzone. The Consumers made it to the 1 yard line, but were denied a touchdown and missed the field goal from 19 yards. The Choker was on again. Both teams were so disappointed at that moment, they were unable to produce any needful stuff and the fans waited until about 11 minutes left to play when the Consumers got another descend drive going, this time they capped it with a Coker-field goal from 43 yards out. Shortly before the half, it became hectic. The Cheese did fight in their own red zone against a dominant defense and to prevent a safety, punted the ball away and Paride Britt returned the ball for the Consumers for 18 yards to instant field goal position. Coker took aim and sunk the 43 yarder for the 6:0 lead. Ensuing kick off by Coker was taken by Roderick Goodwin short before the endzone and was returned for 96 yards for a touchdown. 7:6 for the Cheese at the half! The fans were happy when they did enjoy the halftime show, featuring the selection of British Cheese to taste and buy on the ranks. While the smell of a thousand smelly cheese did try to vanish, the 2 teams returned. The 3rd was quite smooth and only the decision by the Cheese HC to not kick from the 33 yard line (50 yard field goal try) but to punt was discussed heavily by the fans. Another great punt return happened for the Consumers starting the 4th quarter and they got the ball on the Cheese 30 yard line thanks to another great effort of Britt. They moved a ball a bit, but Coker had to kick a 31 yarder to get the 9:7 lead. A bit more than 6 minutes to play, after another short Consumers drive were the Guinness HC again overconfident regarding Cokers kicking strength and did send him on the field for a 66 yarder. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiideeeeeeeeeeeeeee left and veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery short. But with a bit more than 3 minutes to play the Cheese became willing to take risks and tried a 4th and 2 and failed on their own 38 yard line. Consumers took the ball and … did nothing with it, sorry. But ensuing drive by the Cheese was deep in their territory and they did fumble the ball away. Consumers got their last chance to secure the win for good and used it. Starting at the 9 yard line did at the end Kwamie Whyte, the HB, punch it into the endzone for the final score of 16:7. Great game. The Consumers rushing game was named MVP officially, the team did crown returner Paride Britt with the gameball. Maykop Misfits @ Torchwood Aliens -> Game -> Score: 20:0 (ruled) The Aliens got a letter from the Commissioner after their latest prank on gameday against the Maykop Misfits. “What were they thinking?” was all we got from the front office. 24 passing attempts were counted at the end of the game and the front office did rule the game of cause. “We got the feedback that this will not happen again.” Last edited on 2019-07-10 06:42:55 by jack6 |

4. GAMEDAY (FRI. 12.07.2019)
Landru Athletics @ Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser -> Game -> Score: 0:6 ’When you take on a team like Landru as your guest, you better have a well motivated team‘, said the headcoach of the Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser. ‘There no room for errors!’ The two stone hard defenses did face off against each other this weekend and 32738 people wanted to see it. It took 5 drives in total until the repeating 3-and-out-rhythem was broken and the 1st new set of down were given. Wadenbeisser were just 3 yards away from their own endzone and a safety was looming, when the team did run for 7 yards on 3 and 4 for a 1st down. THEN came a 3-and-out and Landru got the ball back. Then went on for the remaining time in the 1st quarter and most of the 2nd quarter until the new set of down was given, this time to Landru with 2 minutes to play after a 15 yard run. Unfortunately also deep in their own red zone, so they avoided also a safety by that, but the field position was too bad to do anything before the half. The halftime did feature nothing, since the artists ordered to perform had a flat tire somewhere 100 miles away from Wilmersdorf and a substitution was not possible. Given the current score a show of nothing seemed fitting. The 3rd quarter went on as the 1st half, until 8 minutes to play Landru did fumble the ball away on their own 36 yard line. Harry Franke dropped the rock and Alphonso Iverson did recover it, but were unable to return it. The Wadenbeisser were able to move it slightly, but settled with a 51 yard field goal by Zeeshan Haverman for the 3:0 lead. The crowd was happy. Then a few minutes later did Landru had a quite bad punt and Wilmersdorf did return it to the Athletics 45 yard line. Motivated by that did the Wadenbeisser get a new 1st down 2 plays later and were able to get into field goal range. They did sink the 49 yarder a few plays later. Now 6:0. The rest is history. Both teams did play 3-and-out from thatr point on forward and even the chants from the stands against the ‘SCORE-LESS-ics’ and the ‘RUN-NOTHING-ics’ did not help to empower the guest with range and anger, so the game ended with 6:0 score. Alfons Zimmermann of the Wadenbeisser and Clemens Krüger of the Athletics were named MVP with 17 tackles each. OrangeCrush @ Chelt Nam Bobbers -> Game -> Score: 3:10 The OrangeCrush went to Chelt Nam Bobbers, seeking their 2nd win in a row to get in touch with the leading teams, while Chelt Nam did try to avoid a drop in the standings. Both teams did start slow and the game become interesting after a series of 3-and-outs for the 32007 visitors when the Bobbers had a great punt and the Crush had to play from their own 6 yard line. Orange was unable to move, but did also avoid some negative runs, and punted a quite short one, returned by the Bobbers for some yards, which gave Chelt Nam suddenly a great field position. Burt Lehman did finally hit the 45 yard field goal for the 3:0 Bobbers lead. Afterwards did the game go back and forth and only at the end of the half did Claas Becker of OrangeCrush get a 49 yard punt return to give his team a great scoring position. They were unable to move much, but Kristian Wolf did hit the tying 48 yard field goal. After the half did not happen much. Bobbers had a long run for a 1st down and another nice drive a bit later, but none did help to give then better scoring position. Then did OrangeCrush fumble on their own 39 yard line and the Bobbers Linebacker Nils Schett did return it for 21 yards. Now deep in Crush-territory did the Bobbers force on 3rd and 10 beginning of the 4th quarter a 18 yard run by Bradley Drake for a Touchdown. That did break the Crush spirit, almost. Late in the 4th did they try to make a last charge, but they were unable to reach the end zone in time and the clock went down, 10 yards from the endzone away. Their last play on 4th and 9 did end not well and was stopped after 1 yard with time running out. Bradley Drake with 35 yards and 1 Touchdown was named MVP. Chesterton Cheese @ Leverkusen Leopards -> Game -> Score: 13:10 The Chesterton Cheese did visit the Leverkusen Leopards on a perfect day. Sunny, not too warm, still only 32306 fans came to the arena. Osvaldo Greathouse, the Cheese Kicker, did start with a penalty when kicking the ball out of bounce. The Leopards fumbled the ball on their 2nd play away, giving the Cheese the ball on a very good field position right at the start, but motivated to avoid a big play did the Leopards at least hold the Cheese for a field goal from 35 yards for an early lead. The drives did then go back and forth, every team had limited chances against good working defensive fronts, until in the 2nd quarter, after a nice return of 15 yards the Cheese got the ball midfield. They managed to make 2 new set of downs, but were stopped outside the redzone and kicked a field goal by Greathouse from 43 yards. Now 6:0 for the Cheese, which did hold up until the half. Early in the 3rd did the Leopards have a good punt return on their own and managed to work themselves into field goal range. Sigmar Schulz did make the field goal from 56 yards out for a 6:3 game score. After several 3-and-out-drives by both teams did the Leopards again fumble and the Cheese did recover it and returned it for 23 yards for a touchdown. Defensive End Kitt Praves did make that happen, breaking down in the endzone after that long run. He returned later in the game. The Leopards, now down 13:3 had to act, but were unable to move the ball. The 4th quarter started and went on with several short drives, until 4 minutes left to play. On 3rd and 1 did Oh Hwan, the fullback, get the ball, went right and was knocked down by Pedro Kühn, the Leopards End, who did also recover the fumble he did force and nobody was able to stop him until he lay in the endzone. 13:10 now with 3 minutes left to play. Chesterton of cause knew what to do, play it save and secure the win, but on 2nd and 10 did the halfback Bernard O'Reilly fumble the ball away and Leopards got it on the 18 yard line. The team went on, did punch and fight, came to the 4 yard line, but was stopped there and tried a game tying field goal from 23 yards away. Schulz took aim, but it looked like it was touched slightly by the defense and the ball went off. Game over, the Cheese too home the victory. Kitti Praves was named MVP with 22 tackles, 2 forced fumbles and 1 touchdown. Torchwood Aliens @ Pretty Guinness Consumers -> Game -> Score: 0:20 (ruled) ’we were under some sort of influence and the whole team can’t remember what they did during the game, or why. We are truly sorry for the actions and will of cause take fully responsibility and will accept the punishment by the commissioner.’ That was the official statement by the Aliens management, after the scandalous game, in which the team did pass again many many times, while leaving the Consumers and the visitors in constant wondering. The refs did discuss the situation with the Consumers and all came to the conclusion to proceed and to help the team getting out of their psychotic acting. It helped, after the game were the Consumers still happy with their game and the after game party, while the Aliens came to the locker room of the Consumers and apologized personally. Unofficially the rumor is they team did consume some sort of new energy drink, based on mushrooms. We guess the team will look for a new supplier now. ‘This shows we still have room for improvements in terms of quality control and supplier control. Even the Aliens are not 100% responsible for the mess made, there is no way to handle this different than in any other violation. The game is ruled in favor of the Consumers.’ Basterds @ BobBoy Magpies -> Game -> Score: 6:3 The game between the Basterds and the Magpies were over after the 1st quarter, only that the 32592 fans were not aware of it. The Basterds did fumble on their 1st drive they started after a returned punt. On 3 and 12 did Milos Graf drop the ball and Sofian Nasser did recover it. The Magpies were happy about their great play, but were unable to produce a 1st down out of this, so they settled with a 39 yard field goal from Benedict Samuel. The Basterds were not worried and got their chance for revenge later in the 1st quarter. Ernst-Otto Schulz did return a punt half of the field and gave the Basterds excellent field position. Even thou they were also not able to get a 1st down, they did also kick a successful field goal by Viktor Kinigader from 51 yards to tie the game. Still the quarter was not over and the Magpies did ball, were unable to move much and did again punt. Schulz did again make a big play and ran 37 yards until he was stopped. The Basterds did repeat themselves, well except they did even get a 1st down, and did send Kinigader out on the field to take the lead on 3 and 12. Kinigader took aim and sunk the ball from 43 yards. Basterds now ahead 6:3. You might think the game will still wide open, but after the final whistle it became clear that the game was over after that scoring drive. The teams did play 3-and-out most of the 2nd quarter, Magpies did even fumble the ball, but Basterd were unable to cash in on that, because Kinigader did miss the 50 yarder almost at the end of the half. The 2nd half did then feature basically short drives on both side, no big gains, not big plays. After the game was Ernst-Otto Schulz, the returner, named MVP. Bretzfeld Bandits @ Amersfoort Alligators -> Game -> Score: 18:0 The Alligators got some beating last week, so they were interested to avenge that at home in front of 31212 people. The 1st half can only described as forgettable, of you are not a defense masochist. Both teams did gain almost nothing, were often pushed backwards and never came into scoring range until late in the 2nd quarter. The Alligators did fumble in the 1st quarter, but did recover it, and both teams did play 1-2-3-punt, while the Bandits were able to play this game a bit better than the Alligators and slowly did gain better field positions, until the mentioned chance on the 2nd quarter came up. On 4th and 7 did Serge Roth kick the 56 yard field goal try a bit short and both teams did go into the half scoreless. The 2nd half did then burry the Alligators hopes for good. A bad punt and a fine return did give the Bandits a good field position, the best so far. They moved a bit further, but went for a 46 yard field goal to get the 3:0 lead a few plays later. Next drive did the Alligators punt after 3 plays and Marian Fiedor did return the ball all the way for 59 yards and a touchdown. Bandits now ahead 10:0. Alligators got the ball back and were again unable to gain yards, did punt and another good return by the Bandits, this time by Lars Wagner, did let them start on the Alligators 27 yard line. A bit of confusion came on when the ball was suddenly in the endzone, but the refs did at the end rule this a field goal. 13:0 now. The 4th quarter came and the Alligators did become exhausted, letting the Bandits gain yards and stopped them only to allow another field goal from 33 yards out. 16:0 now. The biggest moral hit came with 2 minutes left to play, when the Alligators halfback was tackled in his own endzone and Bandits were awarded with a Safety for the final 18:0 score. Big discussion went down to name the MVP, at the end all agreed on the special teams of the Bandits to be the most valuable unit of the game. DAY OFF: Maykop Misfits, AS Roma Wolves Last edited on 2019-07-16 09:47:57 by jack6 |

5. GAMEDAY (FRI. 19.07.2019)
Chelt Nam Bobbers @ Landru Athletics -> Game -> Score: 3:6 (OT) This went down into the books as ‚The grinding Marathon‘. Bobbers and Athletics did meet in front of 30850 people to battle it out and it went into OT, so the people did get a lot of playing time for their money. But unfortunate for them, not much scoring. After several 3-and-out-drives by both teams did the Jukelethics Returner Manfred Vogel return the all for 40 yards and was only stopped by the Bobbers Punter Jonathan Minton. Before did Vogel juke several tacklers. Vogel was angry that he did not fool Minton on that last tackle and that this small toothpick of a player did bring him down. Bobbers did try their best to keep the team of Landru out of scoring range, but the just prevented a 1st down and did see the 45 yard field goal made by Antonio Müller and were unable to do anything about it. Down 3:0 they got the ball back and from that moment on it became magma shoving. The teams did keep the other team each from gaining much, and it was 3-and-out for a very long time. The teams went to the locker room and back on the field and still it was the same back and forth play. Only late it the game the teams started to slow down in their efforts and some 1st downs become possible, still no scoring. With 7 minutes left to play did the Bobbers suddenly get the ball at midfield already in Athletics territory and were able to get a 1st down and were suddenly in scoring range. Visitors and players did wake up and hectic commands were given. After 3 plays Burt Lehmann got onto the field and did kick the 49 yard field goal to tie the game. Landru tried to get a scoring play going before the 4th quarter end, but failed to do so. Overtime. Back and forth did it go and both teams became tired and slower, still no scoring until after almost 14 minutes of OT-plays (felt like 28 easily) the Luckletics did get the ball in Bobbers half and started on the 43 yard line, made some plays and kicked the game winner from 50 yards out. Over! After long discussion was Bobbers Byron McCue named MVP, with 29 tackles. Not very often the losing team did get the MVP honor, but McCues effort was not ignored. Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser @ OrangeCrush -> Game -> Score: 12:0 Everyone was happy to see the Wadenbeisser taking on OrangeCrush, expecting an instant classic. But the 32290 spectators did see a Wadenbeisser win shutting down OrangeCrush for good. The 1st scoring chance came mid 1st quarter after a long Wadenbeisser drive. Zeeshan Haverman was send on the field after the team had gained more than 30 yards and did hit the field goal from 38 yards out. The 2nd chance came a bit later in the quarter when OrangeCrush did fumble and Wadenbeisser did return it for 26 yards starting the next drive deep in Orange-Land. After 3 plays the kicker came out again and sunk the 45 yarder for the 6:0 lead. At the start of the 2nd quarter did another Crush-fumble happen and Wadenbeisser were again able to return it, giving them again great field positon. The Crush did again prevent the worse, but had to take another field goal, from 44 yards this time. OrangeCrush down 9:0 did the teams went into the half, after several short drives, came back and played another quarter without anything happening, beside great defense plays. Late in the 4th quarter did Wilmersdorf make some plays to gain some yards, the punt did let the Crush start basically on their own endzone and their weak punt afterwards did give the Wadenbeisser the last time a good field position. Starting from the 35 yard line did the teams do their best and OrangeCrush did push them backwards every play, but Haverman was cool and had a strong leg to sink the 12:0 field goal attempt for good from 56 yards. Orange did try their best, had a good drive, but were stopped on 4th and 13 at midfield. Haverman was named MVP of the game. Chesterton Cheese @ Maykop Misfits -> Game -> Score: 0:16 The Cheese fans visiting Maykop Misfits Stadium were expecting their team to perform well, no, great to ensure a playoff spot. They were disappointed. Instead, the rest of the 32420 visitors, mostly Misfits fans, did enjoy the day. The home team got their 1st new set of downs in their 2nd drive, which did not help much, deep in their own half, but lifted their spirit and that of their fans. Later in the quarter they did again get a new set of downs, while Chesterton did play 3-and-out so far. That new set of downs did help the Misfits to get into field goal range and basically after switching the sided did Adejola Biobaku kick a 35 yard field goal for the 3:0 lead. Ensuing drive did Chesterton drop the Cheese and Maykop did fall on it to get the ball back on the 19 yard line, in Chestertons red zone. The Misfits came on the field motivated and pushed themselves forward until QB Jean – Pierre Moniz did run the ball into the endzone on a keeper play. Maykop now leading 10:0. Chesterton became angry and did from that point on hold Maykop to 3-and-out, but where on the other hand unable to do something worth mentioning on offense until the half. The whole 3rd quarter and a lot of the 4th were a display of defense dominance on both side, while the offense units were unable to do anything. With a bit more than 5 minutes to play did Chesterton get the ball back in their own half, but came to the conclusion that if they will not score soon, the game will be a loss. So on 4th and 5 did they try a run and Oh Hwan did hit the hole on the right fast, but were stopped after 1 yard by nose tackle Ulises Benítez, not completely wrong nick named ‘the obstacle’. Maykop did get the ball and went after some plays for a 48 yard field goal. Chesterton did not give up and did play a good drive until they were again stopped on 4th down. ‘We needed the points for the Point Difference counter’ was the explanation why they did sink another field goal with 14 ticks left from 47 yards, instead of kneeling down or running down the clock, but overall it did not matter. Maykop did win this at home and Chesterton did not seal the playoff spot. As MVP was selected the defense line of the Misfits, having 58 tackles and a fumble with 5 guys. The rest of the team had only 10 in total. AS Roma Wolves @ Torchwood Aliens -> Game -> Score: 3:15 The Aliens wanted to make up for their latest boo-boos and they did in the game against the Wolves. 32225 people came to the homeworld of the Aliens and saw a good playing home team, which did still strike some strange stuff. It all started in the 1st quarter with back and forth drives until late in the quarter the Wolves got the ball on their own 2 yard line and the Aliens tried to get some extra wolf meat. They did push the Wolves back into their own endzone and HB Josef Rous was brought down by DE Baurzhan Geynrikh for a safety. Aliens ahead 2:0. Next great scene cam early in the 2nd quarter when the Wolf Lubomír Kindl did return the punt for 40 yards, avoiding all tentacle grabs until the punter Waldemar Schwarz did sling his tentacle around Kindls ankle and avoided a touchdown run. Still great field position and the Wolves converted a few plays later a 40 yarder by René Suk for the 3:2 lead by the Wolves. Later, after the 2 minute warning, did the Wolves drop the ball deep in Aliens half and suddenly the Aliens became hungry. In a strange event of playstyle did the ball somehow end in the endzone, but the ref did revert it and granted the ball to the Wolves. Obviously again a misinterpretation of the rules, but regardless the ref had to take the ball away and gave it to the Wolves, surrounded by many angry tentacles and claws. The teams went into the locker rooms with Wolves leading still 3:2. The 3rd quarter did feature some great drives by the Wolves, which had only the problem they were stopped slightly short the field goal range and the Wolves coach did not change his mind. Some might think a 52 yard field goal is not uncommon, but obviously was the Wolves coach conservative and did not try to hit from that far out. A controversial decision did then get the Wolves fans on the fences, when the coach decided to go for 4th down in the middle of the 4th quarter at mid field. They failed to convert (maybe the coach had that reverted TD of the Aliens still in mind and thought he had to force something) the needed 11 yards and the Aliens got finally out of their own half. But that did not break their necks. No, the fumble on their next drive did, which gave the Aliens excellent field position. A few plays later did Lenard Day convert a 20 yard field goal for the 5:3 lead. Now the Wolves were in real trouble, less than 3 minutes to play. They did try their best and forced too much and did fumble again, on 3rd and 11. The Alien arm of linebacker Joshua Mancini grabbed the ball and ran it for a score to the house. 12:3 now Aliens. Wolves became desperate, did try again on 4th and a mile and failed, so the Aliens did for whatever reason convert another field goal from 31 yards for the 15:3 final score. Joshua Mancini became MVP with 7 tackles and his grab and run fumble-TD. Amersfoort Alligators @ Basterds -> Game -> Score: 0:18 When the Amersfoort Alligators did visit the Basterds they did not expect much and were not disappointed. The Basterds were early able to get a better drives going, which resulted after the punt from mid field and no return that Amersfoort had to start from their own 2 yard line. Next play the ref did signal a safety and the Basterds had the ball back, leading 2:0. Then it went back and forth, with the Basterds getting a 1st down sometimes, but never having a longer drive to get into scoring range until the Alligators did lose the rock on 2nd and 6 starting the 2nd quarter. Defensive lineman Arnfried Hofler did recover the ball and the Basterds were suddenly in good scoring range. Thanks to the best drive in the whole game did fullback Marcelo Robbins carry the ball into the endzone and extended the lead. Amerfoort did do their best, did even have a longer drive, but a good punt return and a good drive on Basterds side did give the home team again a scoring chance. Viktor Kinigader did miss the 50 yarder and the Alligators had that way a good chance to get out of the bad field position battle. Unfortunate for them did they again fumble the ball and even they Alligators did hold the opponent out of scoring range did the Basterds punt send the Alligators back deep into their own half. After the typical 3-and-out-drive by Amersfoort did the Basterds call for the last effort before the half. Starting from the Alligators 42 did they get to the 32, lost 2 yard to adjust the kicking spot and sunk the 51 yarder for the 12:0 halftime score. And the Basterds were not finished yet. In the 3rd quarter did they try a 4th down conversion on the Alligators 35 yard line, just short the typical field goal range and only the extra effort of Khambieng Sarit, Alligators end, did prevent the 1st down. Officially it was a yard short, but the ref called for a measurement and it was basically just an inch. Overall it did just shift the inevitable, which did start growing late in the 3rd and did carry over into the 4th quarter when the Basterds got another good drive going, which did cap with a 48 yard field goal. Still not enough in Basterds books. The Alligators were again pushed back over several drives and lost the field position battle slowly, giving the Basterds mid 4th quarter the ball on the Alligators 38 yard line and enabled them to cap the drive with a 50 yard kick for the final 18:0 result. Both teams did play further after the score and Basterds were even getting again in scoring range when the clock did tick their last seconds, but the coach did not send out his kicker to drive up the score, which was acknowledged with a nod by the Alligators coach. Viktor Kinigader got the MVP title, while many did see the defense as a unit as the best. BobBoy Magpies @ Bretzfeld Bandits -> Game -> Score: 10-10 The controversial game between the BobBoy Magpies and the Bretzfeld Bandits will be the talk for seasons. Bandits had the best drive in the 1st quarter but were did only get themselves to the middle of the field and the coffin nail punt did bounce instead of out of bound into the endzone for a touchback, resulting in more short drives out of scoring range for both teams. The 1st quarter went by with no score and the 2nd did start similar, until the Magpies returner Craig Frye did fool several tacklers and ran for 78 yards to the house. BOOM. The home team was shocked but with basically 3 quarters left to play not too worry. The position game did start again and this time the Magpies had the upper hand and did get a 1st down on the Bandits 35 yard line. On 3rd and 12 did they then force the longer run of 7 yards and Benedict Samuel used the chance to score additional 3 points from 47 yards away. The teams went with that score, 10:0, into the half. After the half came the controversial play of the Bandits. On 3rd and 13 did the QB somehow handle the ball in an unexpected way and the ball was a few seconds later in the endzone. The refs did discuss the play from all sides and after several minutes did take away the points from the board, which the enthusiastic boy at the scoreboard already had put on. The official result of the play was a turnover and the Magpies got the ball back, still leading 10:0. Now the home team was angry and forced a fumble on the 3rd Magpies play, recovered it and got the ball in Magpies territory. Next controversial scene did follow when the Bandits coach did call for a run on 4th and 3 on the 11 yard line and the team failed to convert. Instead of having very likely 3 points on the board, they were still behind 10:0. That would cost them. They got the ball back at mid field after the Magpies drive and marched over the whole field. Finally did Kavakava Luani get the ball from the QB and force the last yard into the endzone for the touchdown so desperately needed. After several drives with no bigger results did then come up the next controversial play, this time by the Magpies. On 4th and 1 on the 43 yard line of the home team did the coach call for a run and the Bandits did stop them. On the first look not that bad, but it did shift the battle of field position in favor of the Bandits. Just 2 drives later got the Bandits the ball on the Magpies 39 yard line and they did use that chance. On 3rd and 12 did they run for 7 yards to get just into scoring range and Serge Roth did hit the ball through the uprights from 51 yards out to tie the game. Which leads us to the last controversial decision of the day. The ref did close the game when the time ran out and denied an OT period. He was later escorted by the police out of the stadium. The Commissioner did review the game decisions and the following protests and did state ‘It’s unfortunate that the ref did close the game early, he will be suspended for 3 games for that, but the game will not be replayed or an additional period will be played. The ruling on the field stands, we cannot let this kind of protest culture sink into the game. The game will be ruled a tie.’ Over the whole tumult the MVP vote was skipped.

6. GAMEDAY (FRI. 26.07.2019)
OrangeCrush @ Landru Athletics -> Game -> Score: game is treated as 2 0:20 loss games for both parties, since both teams did break the rules. OrangeCrush @ Landru Athletics did sound like a great game, but the game became a disaster. Investigations are still running, but both teams did play not according the rules, did curse the refs and made inappropriate comments towards the visitors. At the end the games was terminated halftime and both teams were send home. The Commissioner did by at verdict that the game will be treated as a loss for both teams. Chelt Nam Bobbers @ Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser -> Game -> Score: 10:3 The 33300 visitors of the Bobbers-Wadenbeisser game had to swallow some tough cookies in this game. The unbeaten Wadenbeisser had the playoff ticket already secured, but the fans wanted them to stay unbeaten. The defense did look fine in the 1st half allowing zero points but the offense did lack strength and endurance so the Wadenbeisser did bite their teeth of the Bobbers defense, too. The teams went into the locker room and had no score at all, 0:0. Tough for the Wadenbeisser fans, since they expected some dominant and strong performance and got not much so far, at least on offense. The mood did lighten up a bit in the 3rd quarter when the Wadenbeisser returner Frikkie Habana did fool several defenders and only was brought down by the Punter Jonathan Minton with what can only be described as ridiculous cuddle. The Punter did look proud after the stop, the rest of his team and the opponents wanted to forget the scene. Regardless, the Waddenbeisser had suddenly a great field position and even when the offense stayed in line with their so far showed performance, the kicker Zeeshan Haverman did give them the lead with a 47 yard field goal. The fans were happy, until the Wadenbeisser did drop the rock on their own 29 yard line and gave the Bobbers the key to the endzone basically for free, even the home team did prevent an instant return. The Bobbers came on the field, got a 1st down and did surprise the Wadenbeisser on 2nd and 11 from the 13 yard line with a run through the middle in which all defenders were gone and the HB André Robin got into the endzone untouched for the 7:3 lead. Silence on the ranks. Both teams did struggle on offense afterwards, but the Wadenbeisser did fumble again, early in the 4th, and the Bobbers got the ball back on the 19 yard line. This team did the Wadenbeisser defense hold and Burt Lehman came on the field to kick a 33 field goal to extend the lead to 10:3. Now the fans of the Waddenbeisser did see their unbeaten season vanishing away and came alive. Under a wild roar of 33 thousand voices did the team made a last effort with 6 minutes left to play. Knowing they need a TD to tie the game they did run and punch like hell. With 47 ticks left the had 4th and 4 and of cause they tried to get the 1st down inside the Bobbers redzone. They made it and the cheers became even louder. 11 yard left to storm they did play fast but were stopped too early on the next 2 plays. Now, on 3rd and 8 on the 9 yard line with 2 seconds left the team did try to get into overtime. Aymeric De Backer handed the ball to Jens Petersen, who ran over the left, rushed the holed and collided after 7 yards with Cameron Lear. BOOM! That was heard over the stands. But Lear just stood there and did not bend or break. Petersen sunk to the ground, the clock was down and the run ended 2 yard short the endzone. The Bobbers team did storm the field, beating the team which is thought to be the favorite to win the league and the Wadenbeisser team did enter the locker room quickly, while the fans left disappointed the stadium. Tomorrow they might realize that this was eventually a great test for the upcoming bowl and it might help the set things right inside the teams head. Overwhelmed by the impression of the last stop was Cameron Lear named MVP of the game. He had just 3 tackles in the whole game. Some did argue about RB André Robin who made the single TD, but his 39 yards and the 2.8 yard average did not convince the voters. Basterds @ Chesterton Cheese -> Game -> Score: 6:6 The Basterds did struggle as 2nd unbeaten team prior the game this weekend. Chesterton Cheese did need a win to get into the playoffs and their fans came to see them win (official numbers are 31387 tickets, but police estimated over 40000 people in the arena). The 1st quarter was highlighted by the missed field goal of Basterds kicker Viktor Kinigader, who did kick wide right from 49 yards after a good 1st drive by the visitors. It was followed by a struggle for field position over and over again until the Cheese got the ball on midfield in the 2nd quarter and did gain some yards. On 4th and 9 on the 38 yard line did the Cheese coach call for a play instead of a punt and failed. The Cheese fans were shocked. But 2 drives later and thanks to a good return by Roderick Goodwin were the Cheese again in good field position and this time they did decide to get a field goal from 37 yard out. Osvaldo Greathouse made this look easy. After the half the game became a bit more dynamic, when the Cheese had an early good drive and capped it with a 40 yard field goal to extend the lead to 6:0. The Basterds did need some drives, but finally at the end of the 3rd quarter they managed to get some yards and were able to kick a successful field goal on their own. Kinigader sunk the 43 yard try easily for the 6:3 score. The 4th quarter came and did feature a great battle for field positions until the Cheese go the ball after a punt already in the opponents half. They did run some plays and gained some yardage until they did fumble the ball away and gave the Basterds the ball without a scoring. By that, after some short drives and punts, the Basterds did get the ball at some point inside the Cheese endzone and managed to gain yardage. When they were finally stopped for good they still sunk the tying field goal from 46 yards out. The game ended and it was called for overtime. Basterds got the ball 1st but failed to move the ball and then the Cheese did .. well.. something and the ball was in the endzone. The refs did consult each other and did decide on an illegal play, which made the Cheese angry. Also the Basterds were angry, somehow felt insulted by the illegal play. The emotions did cook over and a massive brawl did break lose. While the coaches did understand the intensity of the fight the refs did start to eject every player involved in the brawl, which did heated the moods even more and more players did join the fight. After about 30 minutes and several attempts to gain control, the game was called off by the refs to end this nonsense. There were not enough players left to play the next drive, on both sides. All players would be available to play in the next game it was said from the commisionar and the ending was called ‘unhappy’. Well. ….. MVP naming was called off. BobBoy Magpies @ Torchwood Aliens -> Game -> Score: 0:9 The Aliens wanted to show their fans that they can play and wanted to make a better impression than they did in some other games and had bring in some Earth Consultant. The 31785 Aliens fans wanted to see some win, regardless how. To make it short, the Magpies had a hard time getting anything done on that day. Thanks to a bad punt and they got the chance to score first, but missed the 49 yard field goal in the 1st quarter, giving the Aliens some breathing room that way. Both teams did then play some plays on their drives, but were unable to get some distance, until the Magpies did punt and Roman Soloviev returned the ball 65 yard to the house, battling several defenders and even the Punter. Aliens in the lead. Mid 2nd quarter did then the Aliens slowly getting some better field position until they started inside Magpies half and got enough yards to try a field goal. But the kick from 46 yards away did hit the goal post and went away. No score. The Magpies did then in the ensuing drive get some decent yardage, got into field goal range and … missed the kick again, this time from 53 yards away. After the half did both team struggle on offense. The Aliens did push the Magpies deep into their own half and with 5 minutes left to play the Aliens were able to tackle the FB David Jett inside his own endzone. End Simon Starr got credit for the safety. Some hope came up for the Magpies when the Aliens did lose the ball a few drives later in mid field, but that Aliens defense was too good to allow any scoring chance, so the game ended with a 9:0 win by the Aliens. MVP was named the Returner Soloviev. Bretzfeld Bandits @ Maykop Misfits -> Game -> Score: 16:3 Bandits @ Misfits started in bright daylight under the eyes of 33226 visitors. They did witness the 1st few drives having a battle in the trenches for some yards here and there, but the main players were the special teams, bringing the teams further or farer away from the desired starting positions. Overall were the Bandits able to push the Misfits back into their own red zone and after the punt did the Bandits start ad midfield and the did uses their chance to score. They did get a 1st down and some extra yards with the plays the coach did s e l e c t and when they were finally stopped they were in field goal range. Serge Roth did kick the ball right through the goal posts and Bandits did lead 3:0. (52 yards FG) In the 2nd quarter did then Misfits FB Terrence Maddox fumble the ball and OLB Raam Faibish did grab the bouncing ball and ran it down the field for 7 yards. Starting from the Misfits 13 yard line did then Bandits FB Kavakava Luani fool everyone on a counter play which did send him over the right untoughed into the endzone where he was then brought down. Bandits leading 10:0. Next Bandits drive did start in their own half near mid field and did again feature some nice gains so when they were finally stopped, the Bandits were again in scoring range. Roth did hit the 48 yarder like a veteran should do it and extended the lead to 13 points. Then started a scoring draught, which did run over halftime and the complete 3rd quarter until the Bandits got the ball after a great return deep in Misfits territory, starting the 4th quarter. They did try to get the most out of that chance but had to settle for a field goal try, which was blocked. So basically the draught did stay and the teams did play further on their position battle game. Then, with 20 second left to play the Misfits were in Bandits redzone and needed 18 yards for a score, when Adejola Biobaku was send on the field. The Misfits kicker was not happy to perform the kick, he did wish to make an effort for a TD. Instead he kicked the 35 yarder for the 13:3 score. MVP was named the whole Bandits defense. Amersfoort Alligators @ AS Roma Wolves -> Game -> Score: 0:16 A group of 31374 fans did support the Wolves while they did beat up the Alligators. Overall the Alligators were not able to do much and at the end of the game the Wolves defense was named pack of the pack. The Alligators did play good football, but it was not enough and sometimes they did even hurt themselves on top, like the fumble they had during the 1st quarter. The Wolves got the ball that way in the Alligators half, made some good plays, but did miss the field goal try when they were stopped on the 25 yard line. René Suk, the kicker, was very upset after missing that 42 yarder. But the Alligators had mercy and fumbled again on the next play, giving the ball back to the Wolves and this time it was enough. They were unable to move much, but thanks to the ball in scoring range they kicked a 39 yard field goal and took the lead. The 2nd quarter did feature a great drive by the Wolves, which the Alligators were unable to stop. Starting from the 37 yard line in their own half did the Wolves march and march and march until Iwao Kokan capped the drive with a 6 yard dive through the middle. Wolves now up 10:0. After that did the Alligators gain same strength and defense back and kept the Wolves out of scoring range, but since they also were unable to move, the game did continue without any highlights, until the Wolves got the ball and moved forward, starting the 4th quarter. A lucky tackle on the 9 yard line of the Alligators did prevent a new set of downs near Alligators Endzone and the Wolves decided to kick a field goal. The ensuing drive by the guests did feature again no gain on the ground and became a catastrophe when the punter did hit the ball in an odd way and the Wolves got the ball back after a very short kick and a good return. Starting from the 30 yard line they did manage to gain some yards, did even fumble the ball, but recovered it by their own, and were finally stopped on the 8 yard line, leading to another field goal for the final score of 16:0. The whole crowd was happy, since the Wolves got a playoff spot secured that way, while they Alligators did end a losing season. Leverkusen Leopards @ Pretty Guinness Consumers -> Game -> Score: 9:3 (OT) The Consumers wanted to end the season on a high note, so they did reduce the prices fort he home game, added more beer and did bring in some entertainment (beer trucks, beer games and push bottles for the kids). Still only 33289 visitors did come to see the Consumers playing against the Leopards. The teams did share some punches early with no results, until the Consumers had the Leopards caught near their own endzone and only some luck did avoid a safety. The Leopards did punt, but that was also not the best and the Consumers got the ball in excellent field position. Leverkusen did do their best and kept the Consumers in check, but were unable to prevent the 43 yard field goal by Robert Coker. Consumers leading 3:0 now, just a few minutes after kickoff. Both team did play further, with the consumer gaining slowly better field position again in the next drives, until in the 2nd quarter the Leopards were again trapped near their endzone and on the ensuing drive the Consumers did again start in field goal range. Unfortunate for them die Coker again play the choker and missed the 46 yard kick. The Leopard did then get some decent gains on the next drive, but were stopped before they came in striking distance. After the break the picture did change and the Leopards were able to gain some field position over several drives. They did stop the Consumers on 3rd and 2 after 1 yard and suddenly the visitors were wide awake, when the fearless Consumers coach did order a regular play on 4th and 1. The Leopards did bull rush the Consumers O-line and the ball carrier was stopped 2 yard behind the line of scrimmage, on the 10 yard line. Now the Leopards did smell the paint and tried their best, but failed to gain anything, still managed to kick a game tying field goal from 28 yard. Some drives later, starting of the 4th quarter did the Consumers coach again show his confidence in his kicker and send him on the field for a 61 yard field goal try. It went too short. On the other hand did the Leopards coach do something nuts a l t e r in the game, with 23 ticks left in the quarter. He did send his kicker on the field for a 90 yard field goal try! Sigmar Schulz did fail and the Consumers did get the ball deep in Leopards territory. But unbelievable the Consumers did try to get a TD, instead of just trying a field goal to win the game. The Leopards did stop the Consumers on 3 plays and the game went into overtime. Consumers got the ball 1st, did fumble on the 2nd play and the Leopards got the ball on the 22 yard line. And this time they were able to move. Several plays later, on 4th and 1 did the Leopards coach decide to go for it and the made a TD to win the game. Why on earth he did not trust his Kicker to do it, is still open. MVP was named Miroslav Wolff with 38 tackles Last edited on 2019-08-02 09:16:52 by jack6 |

BLOCKS OF GRANITE BOWL
(Red Grange Conference Championship Game) (FRI. 02.08.2019) AS Roma Wolves @ Wilmersdorf Wadenbeisser -> Game -> Score: 10:0 The official numbers were 33300 paying visitors, but unofficial experts did count much more inside the stadium. And that had a good reason, since everyone was curious to see, whether the major favorite from Wilmersdorf would win the conference in the Block of Granite Bowl or whether the underdog from Rome would get the trophy and the right to fight for the league crown. Roma got the ball 1st but was unable to do much and went with 3-and-punt, just like the Wadenbeisser did and Roma and Wilmersdorf and so on until the end of time. At least it seemed that way, but in reality the 1st highlight came when the Wadenbeisser got the ball for the 4th drive and HB Konrad Koeck fumbled the ball away on his own 6 yard line. The end Samir Shahriarhad shredded all blocks instantly and forced the fumble and did also recover it. Wolves ball in Wadenbeissers red zone. Shocked by that development did the Wilmersdorfer defense bend too much and Josef Rous did carry the ball for those 6 yards into the endzone on the 1st try. Wolves leading now 7:0. Both teams now motived for different reasons, but until the halftime the drives were all crushed by excellent playing defense fronts. At halftime the show went wild and we saw a local music band did perform like the field, the stadium and the parking lots were their stage, so much movement was seen by every team. Even the drummer did rush from 1 kit to another during some songs. They called themselves “SMOOCH” and carried some make up masks. After the cleanup and game continued and we saw 2 longer drives by the Wolves, of which the last one was capped by a René Suk field goal from 40 yards to extend the lead to 10:0. Now Wilmersdorf was in trouble and the team did respond … badly. Their next drive was a 3-and-out, the following one did end with another fumble and only their defense did did prevent another 43 yard field goal by Suk. All visitors did agree that some defender had his finger on the ball when it was kicked and that way it went too short. From that moment on the game was over and the teams did not do much. Wolves did keep the Wadenbeisser in check and did on the other hand play save ball, while Wadenbeisser did try much, but every effort was destroyed by small coordination errors. When the final was over, the few Wolves fans who made the trip to Wilmersdorf were let onto the field (there were more players than fans) and they did start the celebration instantly. As MVP was named the whole defense line with 55 tackles in total, 26 of those for a loss. Roma will play the final next week, Wilmersdorf can go on vacation instantly. RED ELEPHANTS BOWL (Ernie Nevers Conference Championship Game) (FRI. 02.08.2019) Leverkusen Leopards @ Basterds -> Game -> Score: 10:3 The Leverkusen Leopards did travel to Basterds-City for the Red Elephants Bowl and 31920 Basterds-follower did wait for them (can’t be true, this official numbers, since the stadium was packed). The mission for both teams was clear, win and you are the king, lose and you can drown in tears (even if such strong and bold men don’t cry). After a Basterds drive at the start did the Leopards carry the ball for some time over the field and did force some 1st downs, until they were stopped at the 24 yard line. Sigmar Schulz did walk onto the field and kicked the 41 yarder right through the uprights to give his team the 3:0 lead. The home crowd was silent for the moment, but did start then again, twice as loud. Both teams did then share some punches, but nothing came out of it, until the Leopards had the ball after a punt on the Basterds 44 yard line. A few plays later the coach did send out Schulz again, but he missed the 56 yarder by some inches. This gave the Basterds the ball in a much better position, but they were unable to make something out of it in the long run and while the 2nd quarter did move on and on, the teams did exchange the ball over and over again, with no team in advantage. Finally, with 8 seconds to play, did defensive end Zeki Alam reach out and ripped the ball lose from Fred Ziegelbrenners hands, recovered it an made even some extra yards until he was brought down, short before the Leopards endzone. Alam was a bit angry not making the touchdown, but of cause he was happy to make the play. Viktor Kinigader shot the 22 yarder with 1 tick left on the clock before half time to tie the game. At halftime the Basterds had organized a big party with 6 marching bands swarming the field making moving pictures on the grass. The coordinator did s e l e c t a Sherlock Holmes play. The fans did like the ‘hound of Baskerville’ very much, even the story did lack some depth due the short halftime period. The 3rd and 4th quarter were dominated by the defense units and special teams, with the Leopards slightly having some advantages, which led to a drive starting on the Basterds 32 yard line and ending in a field goal try, 3 plays later. But leopards Kicker Schulz did miss the 46 yarder. After some more 3-and-out plays came the final highlight sequence of the game. This time did Leopards FB Barnaba Ćwikła fumble the ball and gave the Basterds end Alam the ball, who did just run with it until he dropped down in the Leopards endzone, carrying several defenders with him. Basterds now on to, the stadium went wild. Leopards got the ball but were unable to do anything with it. Basterds got it back and tried to run down the clock, but were forced to punt. Fred Ziegelbrenner caught the punt and started running, hitting, juking until only the Basterds punter was left for a last play. Martin Füster did put everything he had in that final hit and was able to bring Ziegelbrenner down. The game was over, the Basterds won the Bowl! As MVP was named the End Alam with his 2 forced fumbles, a TD and 10 tackles. Basterds will play for the league crown next week, Leopards will go hunting chicks in the Caribbean. FOUR HORSEMEN BOWL (Leatherhead-League Championship Game) (FRI. 09.08.2019) AS Roma Wolves @ Basterds -> Game -> Score: 0:6 Welcome to the game which will go down in the books as "The Snoring Bowl". 32311 people did pay a ticket, over 100000 at the fences and the game did start with 2 3-and-out-drives. Both coaches did have their moment in the locker room before the game and held their signature speeches. Basterds had reported to have something like "Just win this damn *peep* game, god *peep* it!" while the Wolves got to hear that "This is you chance to make history!". And history they made for sure. After the 3-and-outs did the Wolves gain a 1st down, deep in their own half, and then gave the ball back after 3 more short plays. Basterds and Wolves did exchange the ball possession several time afterwards until the Wolves got another 1st down, deep in their own half. The 1st quarter went by and the defense fronts were merciless on the opponents and also the 2nd quarter did continue with that trend, until the Basterds did drop the ball on a fumble at mid field (they had a 1st down in that drive on the 1st down). The Wolves took the ball on the next 3 plays and accomplished basically nothing, so they punted it away, again. The coffin nail punt did fail and they Basterds did start on the 20 yard line, did play 3 plays and punted it back. Meanwhile the Wolves got some motivation back and when they entered the field again, they did manage to get a 1st down! But after another 3 plays they were again forced to punt the ball and the Basterds did start again on the 20, again after a failed coffin nailer. The Basterds did run down the clock and the teams went into the locker room. The halftime did feature a spectacular show of circus animals, clowns, artistic presentations, marching bands, a military parade, some music and some games played together with the fans. That took roughly 15 minutes, so it was well organized and .. ahhh ... fast. Later the fans did say they wished the organizer would have fit in some additional numbers and described the show as "not very rich in variety". Not sure the fan was in the stadium at all, in which the single elements were rushed through like mini-tornados. Seems like everyone is a critic. The teams came out motivated and continued the merciless beating which did feature again 3-and-outs in many variations. The Wolves managed again to get a 1st down mid the 3rd quarter (this drive did actually feature 2 1st downs in 1 drive, the only 1 in the whole game), but were stopped later at mid field and punted the ball, again for a touchback. The next Wolves drive did feature another 1st down, now even deeper in their own half. It seems they were good in gaining yards, but unable to profit out of it. Now in the 4th quarter the players did show signs of slowing down. Wolves got pinned down on their own 3 yard line and barely managed to get a punt done, when Ernst-Otto Schulz of the Basterds made an effort and fooled several defender, only to get hammered by the Punter René Suk as last line of defense after a 37 yard return. While Schulz got to the sideline a bit dizzy, the Basterds got the chance of the game starting at field goal range. The Wolves played they best they could, but Viktor Kinigader did kick the 41 yarder easily and the Basterds were leading 3:0 in a game of no big games and highlights. Wolves got the ball back, but failed to make anything with it were forced to punt with 6 minutes left to play. A good return of 16 yards gave the Basterds the ball at around mid field and this time they made it count. They got a 1st down and some more yardage and when they were finally stopped they made a 48 yard field goal for a 6:0 lead. The Wolves did play hard and tried everything, but were again forced to punt, hoping for a miracle turnover. But the Basterds did secure the ball, made a last 1st down and ran down the clock to win the game, and the league! The whole game had 9 1st downs and only 3 of them were of the Basterds. MVP was named Ernst-Otto Schulz with 11 returns for 159 yards, including the 37 yarder for the field goal position. The fans later said they were unsatisfied with the game, too defense driven and with that what's-his-name-MVP nobody knew and will remember. Well ... I was only able to do this report on the film material I did rerun several times, because I did snore away many, many times. Congratulation to the Basterds, who were able to play concentrated over the whole game. An achievement which is more stunning than you might think off. Last edited on 2019-08-11 09:40:25 by jack6 |
