Ali-Frazier? The game of the season lived up to the hype. Two 12-0 juggernauts, each one pummeling the competition. Who would land the final punch in this heavyweight match? Let's take a look:

The Blaze got the ball first and it was go time. One good play followed by one bad play, but when the good ones are for 17-yards or more it works just fine. Tarzell Tazzle hits Possession Hands Receiver for 17 to start things off:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14384848

Then Tazzle to StarScream Deception for 20:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385020

Then Tazzle to Slow Aschit for another 17:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385107

And Tazzle to Shawn Sanders to give them first and goal at the 5-yard line:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385201

A few plays later it's Tazzle to Hands for a short TD:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385287

Blaze 7 - Valhalla 0

A nice opening round for the Blaze, how would Valhalla respond? Quite nicely, thank you very much. Thom Yorke hits Quinn Rampage for 17-yards here:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385858

Then it was quite a few medium routes to take away the pass-rushing heat of the Blaze. York to Rampage for 11 and then 9 yards:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14385913
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386121

The drive was capped by this plunge by Plow Thruya:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386347

Blaze 7 - Valhalla 7

The Blaze get the ball and they keep doing there thing. At this point it doesn't seem like the punters will be needed much today. Tazzle to The Speed That Kills for 18:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386538

Tazzle to Hands for 14:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386634

Tazzle to Aschit for 19:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386738

A slight bump as Large Hadron Collider gets a sack of Tazzle here:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386774

But he bounces back on the next play for a 22-yard TD to Aschit:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386817

Blaze 14 - Valhalla 7

The Blaze are fired up, and the defense responds to the offenses perfect start. Mutley Dogg and N.O. Xplode get back to back sacks to pin Valhalla deep and finally allow a punter on the field:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386934
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14386968

The Blaze get the ball in Valhalla territory and go right to work. Tazzle hits Aschit for 22-yards to get into the red zone:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387161

But Valhalla's defense responds on this 3rd and 5 rush up the middle, Tremor Rush on the stuff that forces a FG:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387216

Blaze 17 - Valhalla 7

Valhalla has not trailed by 10 this late in a game all season. And they are momentarily stunned. Yorke throws three straight incompletions as Ernie K-Doe, Jacob Farley and Jr. Rosegreen step up to make deflections in that order:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387291
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387357
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387402

The Blaze take over on their 35 and facing a 3rd and 10.5 they make their first mistake. Tazzle looks for Hands but Kevin Drew steps in front and picks off the pass returning it 12-yards:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387693

Valhalla starts at the Blaze 34, in FG range already they are itching to get back into the end zone. But on 3rd and 3 they give the ball to Plow and Kurt Crain stops him after a 1.5-yard gain forcing Valhalla to settle for three points:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387776

Blaze 17 - Valhalla 10

Now Valhalla has got a little bit of mojo and Donavin Drex gets to Tazzle and sacks him for an 8-yard loss:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14387970

But that doesn't bother Tazzle a bit. He dusts himself off and on the very next play hits Aschit for a 75-yard TD that silences the Nordic crowd in attendance:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388119

Blaze 24 - Valhalla 10

With 2:32 left in the half the best outcome for Valhalla is to use up the rest of the clock and get in the end zone. That is exactly what happens. Yorke hits Ed O'Brien for 23-yards to get the ball moving:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388196

Then Yorke to Gunnar Gitme for 17:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388321

Then after some Plow runs to milk the clock with 1:02 left Yorke hits O'Brien for 12, notice it takes the time down from 1:02 to :22 that is 40 seconds:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388409

Then the next pass play is a Yorke completion to O'Brien for 6-yards, but this time the RNG says to take only 14 seconds off the clock:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388431

Finally Yorke hits O'Brien for the short TD:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388459

Score at the half:
Blaze 24 - Valhalla 17

You have to wonder how time is calculated for each pass play tackled in bounds. Seems to me it is a random roll from 5 to 45 seconds. Anyway, a very good half for sure.

Possessions for Blaze:
TD, TD, FG, INT, TD.

Possesions for Valhalla:
TD, Punt, Punt, FG, TD.

Valhalla gets the ball first in the second-half and wastes little time moving the ball down the field. Yorke to Sam Grizzle for 28 moved the ball into Blaze territory:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388718

On 2nd and 10, Yorke is sacked by Bruce Smith setting up a 3rd and 16:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388887

But York hits Gunnar for a 21-yard TD to tie the score:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14388916

Blaze 24 - Valhalla 24

Blaze fights right back and after a touchback connect on two 20+ yard plays. The first one from Tazzle to Econoline Crush:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389068

Then Tazzle to Aschit, who is having a great game:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389107

But on 3rd and 4 the Blaze try to run for the first and Bix Beiderbecke is stopped after picking up less than a yard:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389179

Ball Buster hits a long FG and the Blaze have the lead back:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389209

Blaze 27 - Valhalla 24

The Blaze have done a great job slowing down the Valhalla machine, but they can't hold them back forever. Yorke to Rampage for 21-yards has Valhalla on the move:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389314

Then Yorke to O'Brien for 19:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389471

And the go-ahead TD on a Yorke to Rampage rumble:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389539

Valhalla 31 - Blaze 27

This game has shown us that Chocolate Blaze can not only take a punch, they can deliver a mighty blow as well. Faced with a big 3rd and 9 in their own territory they get the connection they need as Tazzle hits Slow Aschit for 22-yards:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389726

A few plays later Tazzle hits StarScream for an 8-yard TD and the 4th quarter has arrived and the Blaze are back on top:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14389915

Blaze 34 - Valhalla 31

It is gut check time for Valhalla, their first test comes on 3rd and 6, Yorke to O'Brien for 18-yards says they pass:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390036

Yorke to Rampage for 15 gets them inside the 10:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390261

But Jr. Rosegreen has seen enough Yorke to O'Brien connections in this game to know what's coming, he jumps in front and knocks down the pass to force a FG try from the 5-yard line:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390330

Blaze 34 - Valhalla 34

The Blaze get the ball back, but for the first time today the Blaze have to punt. Some Lame Meme comes up with a deflection on 3rd and 4 as Tazzle tried to hit Aschit yet again:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390509

Valhalla gets a nice punt return by Ernie K-Doe to move the ball out of the shadow of their own end-zone:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390630

Then Yorke to Rampage is back on the main grille as they connect for 31-yards over two passes:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390657
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390750

They move inside the 20 and take the lead on this 19-yard TD from Yorke to Gunnar:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14390883

But the extra point is missed! Would that come back to haunt the defending champs?

Valhalla 40 - Blaze 34

With 3:09 left, the Blaze needs to find the end-zone but not leave much time left for Valhalla. Tazzle hits Cat Kibble for 12-yards to get things started:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391001

Then Tazzle hits Hands for a 51-yard monster gain to get the ball inside the 20:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391101

Then Tazzle hits Hands for 17-yards to the 2-yard line:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391163

There is 1:50 left in the game. There is no way the offensive team in real life would call a timeout. But the sim decides to have the Blaze call timeout instead of letting the clock run. Mamadu Hawkins runs for a half-yard and the Blaze call ANOTHER timeout with 1:48 left. On second and goal, Tazzle hits Hands for the short TD and the Blaze take the lead:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391199

Blaze 41 - Valhalla 40

With 1:41 left Valhalla takes over at their 24 and need about 40-yards to get into easy FG range. After an incompletion on first Yorke hits Mr. Francis for 17-yards (timeout):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391380

Then Yorke to Francis again for 13 (timeout):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391405

Then Yorke to Francis the sequel for 15 (timeout):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391429

With Valhalla at the 31with 1:26 left and no timeouts a 2-yard run by Sufjan Stevens takes :38 seconds off the clock:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391462

With :48 left another Stevens rush gains 5-yards but more importantly milks the clock for :36 more seconds:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391501

That leaves :12 seconds and out trots Karin Dreijer Anderson who nails this 40-yard FG to win it:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079739&pbp_id=14391518

The Blaze get two more plays after the kickoff but there is no miracle comeback and Valhalla walk away deserved winners!

Final score:
Valhalla . 43 - Chocolate Blaze 41

Well done both of you! A great game and I get the feeling that a playoff re-match could go either way!

They also say the running game is dead.

I think that the people are dead, and the world has become infested with zombies who play football simulations.
