A very nice way to start off the game.  A long drive down the field, with a close play at the goal line, but upon further review, it sneaks into the end zone...

Touchdown!

No real highlights however, just lots of ground and pound.

And you're right, I should clarify.  This is Futbol Americano!  But anyone can play this game.

Well - I'm glad I scored wonder how long the booth review took lol.  Really enjoying the divisional playoffs this weekend - but still have a soft spot in my heart for the Deutscher Fußball-Bund

Cheers

There might be a penalty or to involved but always will to throw a "Hail Mary". What you got ??

Yessir...A short drive down the field plagued by quite a few penalties, your kick barely sailed through the uprights as a consolation...

Extra Point.

The play calling wasn't consistent, and the plays themselves didn't seem well thought out.

This image gives lots of hope I'd think!

Booth review was pretty long, but the call on the field stood.  Not confirmed.

These divisional games have been great!  As an American Football fan, you have to love.

Extra Point is good!

It was an easy score, but there wasn't enough of a strong offense to score more than 1 point.  Some of the blame falls on the direction of your head coaches and their play calling.  You have the ability to score more.

Field Goal splits the uprights!

This field goal was a chip shot.  Good long drive, with some very good plays mixed in between, but just wasn't able to score inside the Red Zone.  The offensive playbook is unique, but is in need of one or two home run plays.

This was my favorite play.

Good, consistent drive.  Very nice play calling.  But the offense isn't particularly fun to watch.  It lacks a star quality.  I feel like your next drive is more likely to yield an extra point than it is to score a touchdown.  The 'naked bootleg' is your best play.

Pure smash-mouth football here at its finest.  Not much finesse here, but you get the job done.  The defense knows what to expect.  A brutally long drive with a few minor penalties wiped out by some clutch 3rd downs, you eventually score a...

Touchdown...but just barely.

Your team lined up for an easy field goal, but it was blocked.  That's what happens when you don't have enough men on the field.

So I didn't get to see your team really play, but fortunately I was able to see and read about it in a magazine.  Your style of play looks decent, but I'm worried you focus too much on looking good, and you forget where the end zone is or how to get there.  Your team eventually settles for a...

lol - love the analysis; thanks!

Yep, need time to develop more finesse plays. But glad to have been able to pull out that clutch touchdown given my short season.

The ingredients for a stellar offense are there.  Great players, creative playbook, and the desire to get in the end zone are there.  What this team needs is a special teams coach that can clean up what's there and really make this team special.  Until then, unfortunately it walks away with a...

I feel like your team is running around on the sidelines yelling "Where's the coach?".  "Has anyone seen the damn coaches!?".  Your team is PLAGUED by bad coaching.  Find a new coaching staff.  The players seem willing, but they look as if they'd just fumble the ball away in a heartbeat.

Thanks, that was fun) And I didn't score too bad being a newbie at American  football. We'll  keep working on the coaching.

Oooh...It was a pleasure watching you play.  A very nice signature style.  Would love to see you play a little bit more loose, but what you do works, so go with it. 

Touchdown.

Give it a go!

Did your team read the play book?  They ran quite a few plays without even using a ball.  That's not what Football is about.  You need a ball... Just having a field doesn't work here.  For the plays your team did utilize the ball, the results were inconsistent, and given good ingredients for success, the final result was a few yards here and there before your team eventually fumbled.  I'd suggest Track and FIELD.

Just not enough offense to really score much.  Blame some of it on your playbook and your coaching.  I see you wanting to get into that end zone, but it's going to take some work in all areas of your game.  You managed to hit an Extra Point, but even that was no easy task.

My goodness, your team can kick Field Goal, after Field Goal, after Field goal with absolutely no problem.  Not too flashy, but very consistent.  If you decided to go for a Touchdown, you'd probably make it based on the quality of your plays.

Interesting.  I feel like this is a team that has grown way too comfortable with kicking Extra Points.  And lots of them.  Maybe a field goal on the rare occasion, along with a fumble here and there, but almost all Extra Points.  But your team is good at that.

Easy Field Goal.  Your playbook lacked a home run play, but the play calling was consistent, varied, and creative enough.  But when in the red zone, and it was time to score, I couldn't find a play that would get the job done.
