But I've been...I don't watch the Seahawks. But I've been playing the Orcs ever since the release of third edition Blood Bowl back in the early or mid 90s.<br /><br />Not only have you got the Black Orc Blockers, but you can also save a bit more by rounding out your team with a few goblins--weak and very cheap, but they kinda sorta work like disposible receivers--but you can get a nasty Big Guy. Used to be ogres and trolls and a few other options; the latest iteration of the rules limits them to trolls, I think. <br /><br />Still, one of the greatest things about Blood Bowl is a big guy like a troll or an ogre tossing a goblin reciever--ball and all--into the endzone. And orcs are one of the few teams that can pull off this classic.Desdichadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774274812688958457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-11162057022413422442012-10-02T16:09:40.064-07:002012-10-02T16:09:40.064-07:00You establish possession 1) with your hands, and 2...You establish possession 1) with your hands, and 2) by getting your feet or other body part on the ground.<br /><br />By those criteria, Tate established possession first.<br /><br />Tate's pass interference should have been called, but PI calls are rare on either side of the ball in Hail Mary situations.Brian MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752842049666489041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-66107295814843629332012-09-30T01:47:28.523-07:002012-09-30T01:47:28.523-07:00"It is not a simultaneous catch if a player g...<i>"It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control."</i><br /><br />the defender clearly had the ball first and then tate got his hands on it. you can't argue that.<br /><br />you also seem to forget the pass interference that happened before.<br /><br />the seahawks probably deserved to win this game anyway, but they won it in a fashion that leaves a bad aftertaste. it was a close call, i admit that (and one i certainly wouldn't have liked to have to make myself...). but it was wrong. :)<br /><br />being used to proper football (thats soccer for you americans :P), where game-deciding bad calls (sadly) happen much more often, i don't have a problem admitting when my team was favoured by the refs. you should try that sometimes. you will still be happy about the win, trust me. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-9104926190778318982012-09-29T11:41:30.884-07:002012-09-29T11:41:30.884-07:00It wasn't such a bad call.

You have to complete the catch all the way to the ground; Megatron learned that the hard way last year and lost a touchdown in the process.<br /><br />On Monday night, both players had two hands on the ball, but the Packer had pulled the pigskin up against his chest; this is why most viewers thought he had a better claim to the ball. <br /><br />However, you cannot complete a catch in midair. You have to finish on the ground. Golden Tate got two feet down first, and at that point, he still had two hands on the ball, and he had pulled the ball (and his opponent's elbow) close to his own body.<br /><br />After that, both men fell to the turf and wrestled for the ball. Tate won that wrestling match.
