This Game of the Week is brought to you by Rohypnol. I decided that if I was going to go 0-16 in the WL I might as well change it from surprise sex to date rape. Surrey did the honors against Sumatra this week. It had me bummed out enough to delay this GOTW recap till today. But let's take a look at this exciting match between Port Harcourt and Haliblack:
Port Harcourt got the ball first and moved down the field with three big plays. Merrill Howard Kalin hit Jackie Martling for 28-yards to get it started:

Then Kalin to Hub Becthtol for 17-yards on 3rd and 7:

And the 27-yard TD pass from Kalin to Tee Curry finished it off:

Port Harcourt 7 - Haliblack 0
Haliblack's offense was still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes after the long flight to Port Harcourt and had to punt after a handful of plays, Barry Batdown with the third down deflection:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16144520
Hali's defense though was finally awake and quickly forced a three and out thanks to this 3-yard loss tackle by Action Jackson:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16144777
A.P. Edge returned the favor stopping this Project Marcie rush just short of a Hali first down and the boys from Canada also go three and out:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16144967
The game had settled down to a defensive battle of 'anything you can do, I can do better' as the teams were trading punts. Patrick Tayler with a deflection here for the Playmakers:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145106
Then Barry Batdown does it for Hali:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145234
Baby Elmo with a diving tackle forcing a punt for Port Harcourt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145457
Thomas Sticky Fingers Shirawski deflects this third down pass for Hali:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145667
The fans were starting to yawn a bit and wanted the home team to expand upon their lead. The offense finally kicked in again on this 25-yard pass from Kalin to Mickie James:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145792
Then Kalin converts this 3rd and 8 on a 17-yard pass from Kalin to Kutner:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145849
But the drives stalls at Hali's 14 as Mr. Orange bats away this pass:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16145929
Port Harcourt 10 - Haliblack 0
On Hali's first play from scrimmage on the next drive they sink deeper into the abyss. Fast Willie Parker #39 fumbles the ball. Henry Lawrence Garfield recovers it for the Playmakers:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16146087
Port Harcourt cashes in the break on the very next play as Kalin hits James for a 21-yard TD and the home fans are going crazy:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16146133
Port Harcourt 17 - Haliblack 0
Finally out of the tunnel comes Ontario Williamson. He had shit his pants after a short 6-yard completion earlier in the game. And since Hali was wearing their road yellows it made for an interesting look to say the least. With his diarrhea momentarily under control he started running wild over the Playmakers defense. First for 15-yards to move the chains:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16146259
Then Tossin Bombs rares back and hits him for a 54-yard TD and Hali is on the board:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16146412
Port Harcourt 17 - Haliblack 7
Having their star TE back on the field seemed to fire up the Esplosion's defense as well. Baby Elmo wraps up Mickie James on this 3rd down pass and the Playmakers punt it back to Hali:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16146689
Hali starts at their own 36 and methodically matriculates the ball down the field. This was a ball control drive eating up four minutes of clock and moving the chains five times. The drive was capped by this Bombs to Jamar Bryant connection and suddenly it was a 3-point game:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147146
Port Harcourt 17 - Haliblack 14
Higgs Boson dacks Kalin to punt the Playmakers in a hole:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147288
With 1:32 left, Haliblack takes over and would love to tie or take the lead before half. Bombs to Williamson for 21-gets them into the red zone:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147477
Then Project Marcie runs around the end but fails to get out of bounds (the logic of runners inside a minute should be changed to favor running out of bounds imo):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147545
With only :07 left in the half Hali trots out Golden Arches to tie it up and he does:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147563
Port Harcourt 17 - Haliblack 17
With only :03 left GLB should add in some squib kick or even onside kick logic. But they don't, the kick is a touchback giving Port Harcourt one last chance for a big play and they hit it as Kalin launches it to James and it is an 80-yard TD and the Playmakers have the lead back. Great blocking by WR-Malcom Kutner too:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16147563
Port Harcourt 24 - Haliblack 17
Haliblack gets the ball first in the second half and are more than a little pissed. They drive right down the field and it is Tossin' Bombs to Ontario Williamson for 21-yards (triple coverage too) yet again as each of them try and solidify their case for the GLB Hall of Fame:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148125
The drive is capped on a Bombs to The Mighty Mos Def short TD pass and catch:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148211
Port Harcourt 24 - Haliblack 24
Port Harcourt goes three and out, Baby Elmo forces a fumble on third down to ensure the punt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148438
The punt is a good one by Trevor Long Punt Jackson who pins Hali at their 6:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148467
Hali fails to move the ball thanks to another Barry Batdown deflection:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148545
That gives the ball to the Playmakers in Hali territory and despite not getting a first down Ace Spot On Carson kicks a long field goal to re-take the lead:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16148757
Port Harcourt 27 - Haliblack 24
Hali goes on another long, ball-control drive. They eat up over seven minutes of clock and have the ball on the Port Harcourt 22. But someone shines a laser pointer into Bombs' eyes and it throws off the pass which is picked off near the goal line by Thomas Sticky Fingers Shirawski, who returns it 62-yards (great effort by Project Marcie to prevent the TD) into Hali territory:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149401
So the ball is at the 28 of Hali. The Playmakers have to at least get a FG out of this. But incredibly they don't. First down Higgs Boson tackles Mickie James for a 4-yard loss:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149413
Then second down it is a 1.5-yard loss as Jimbo Zorbo stuffs Riggs Riggins:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149429
Then 3rd down is a sack and loss of 6.5 yards. Tommy Ciscero does the damage for Hali:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149466
Still, the ball is at the 39.5-yard line. A 57-yard FG is makeable by almost all WL kickers. Instead the Playmakers trot out Jackson who does a good job and again pins Hali inside their 10-yard line:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149500
Hali does a good job and has the ball near midfield. Bombs tries to go deep to Mos Def but Roger Swift picks it off for the Playmakers:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149805
The Playmakers start from their 30, this 21-yard pass from Kalin to Curry has the ball in Hali territory:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16149925
But this deflection by Peanut Interceptor forces Port to punt again, this time just outside of FG range at Hali's 42.5:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150094
Another nice punt by Jackson has Hali starting from their 4-yard line:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150123
With 7:03 left in the game Hali starts to drive. They convert this 4th and .5 on a Christian Dior rush for three crucial yards:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150246
Then Bombs to Williamson converts this 3rd and 4.5:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150381
On second down and 1 with 1:45 remaining in the game no timeouts left for Hali, Project Marcie nearly gives the game away as Billy West forces a fumble but Scoot Anchor dives on it and recovers it for Hali:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150695
With :30 left Hali trots out Golden Arches who ties the game and sends it into OT:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16150756
Port Harcourt 27 - Haliblack 27
Hali gets the ball first in OT and they drive to midfield. But this deflection by The HeadHunter forces a punt and Port Harcourt gets a chance in OT:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16151309
Unfortunately they can't convert as Action Jackson stuffs this 3rd and 4 rush by Mickie James:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16151431
Hali wastes little time, Bombs to Williamson for 19:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16151554
Then Christian Dior with a huge rush to move the ball into FG range:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16151608
Golden Arches nails this 51-yarder and Haliblack pulls it out and leads for the first and only time in the game:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16151729
Haliblack 30 - Port Harcourt 27
Port Harcourt got the ball first and moved down the field with three big plays. Merrill Howard Kalin hit Jackie Martling for 28-yards to get it started:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079675&pbp_id=16143454
