(editor's note: I'm going to start leaving the score off the header so you guys can read the recap with a bit more entertainment value)

Week 6: Chiefs @ Raiders

With $80 million in cap space the Raiders had a huge offseason (Earl Thomas, Jason Witten, Jermon Bushrod, Jabal Sheard, Captain Munnerlyn and William Moore) and have already roared out to a 3-1 start. Could the 4-1 Chiefs handle them?

They couldn't handle Latavius Murray on the first possession, for sure. The Raiders took the opening kick and rammed Murray right down the Chiefs throat for a very quick 6-play, 73-yard TD drive that featured five handoffs to Murray.



The Chiefs offense didn't help matters. After Jamaal Charles ripped off a 13-yard gain on KC's first snap, the Raiders sacked Alex Smith three straight times.



Fortunately for the Chiefs, the Raiders domination didn't last. After a field goal drive, Marcus Peters shifted momentum with his first interception of the year. The pick led to a quick TD and a 10-7 Chiefs lead.



The Raiders quickly tied the score at 10, but then rookie speedster Chris Lamont did what he does best: make a big play. With 1:26 left before halftime he took a 5-yard pass and turned it into a 76-yard TD.



The Raiders then tied it thanks to a 40-yard TD catch from Jason Witten on the next possession, tying the game just before halftime. The game seemed to be turning into an old-fashioned Chiefs-Raiders shootout.



Unfortunately for the Chiefs, the Raiders then began their sack attack again. Khalil Mack nailed Alex Smith to start the second half. The Chiefs were having real issues blocking the Raiders at this point.



The Raiders then seemed to take control of the game, with two straight touchdown drives featuring Murray. First, he carried half of Kansas City's defense across the goal line.



After a costly drop from Lamont and a Chiefs punt, Murray then ripped off a 72-yard run and the Raiders seemed to be headed towards victory. To make matters worse, Lamont injured his elbow and would be sidelined until late in the 4th quarter.



The Chiefs refused to go quietly, though. Jamaal Charles ripped off a huge run, and a big Chris Conley catch set up a 1-yard plunge by Spencer Ware.



The Chiefs then tied the game with 5 minutes to go thanks again to Charles and Lamont. A big run moved the ball inside the 20, and then Lamont got wide open for his second TD of the day.



Murray then struck again, busting more tackles on a long gain and setting up his own 12-yard TD, his third score of the day, putting Oakland up 38-31. The Chiefs simply could not stop him.



So furious was Murray's running that he injured Peters as he willed Oakland towards the goal line.



The Chiefs had one last chance with 1:45 left to tie the game. But it was not meant to be, as two more sacks put them down for good.



A terrible game for a Chiefs run defense that held the Jets to 5 yards two weeks ago, and an even worse outing for the offensive line. Will Chris Lamont ever learn to catch the ****ing ball? The Chiefs will have to do better if they hope to beat Andrew Luck and the Colts next week.

Sounds like a Bowe pick all over again.

Murray looked like Tyrone Wheatley.

Mals, who are the free agent qbs? Just curious.

I actually think the game is overall better now. And I used to play Madden 2008 on PC a lot. There were plenty of issues with the franchise mode in this version. But I do miss the PC version. There was so much more you could do with it using apps to adjust things like the salary cap. I have Madden 15 on my Xbox 360 the actual gameplay is worlds better than Madden 2008 on PC. But alas, this thread is definitely entertaining.

Good job, Jason, you are doing well with this team!

This is a cool thread.

Week 7: Colts @ Chiefs

Fresh off their butt****ing in Oakland, could the Chiefs stop Andrew Luck? You already know they didn't, so the only question is: did they score enough to beat him?

The Chiefs shockingly held Luck out of the end zone on his first possession, but bad news still reared it's middle finger.



Yes, **** you Chiefs! **** you, Berry! **** your ankle in many pieces! You are out for the season, buddy. The return of the "32" defense is nigh!



KC's offense then did it's best to make up for the "break." Chris Lamont got wide open in the end zone and...



DROPPED ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN! **** you, Chiefs!



Following the drop, Andy Reid went for it on 4th down, and of course the Chiefs didn't get it.

Andrew **** immediately scored a touchdown, mostly by completely ****ing Marcus Peters with Donte Moncrief.

In case you're not aware (you aren't), Peters is having a horrible sophomore season and leads the NFL in catches allowed. He gave up 7 in this game. That's like one for every Chris Lamont drop.



Trailing 10-0, the Chiefs finally managed to cross the goal line, and then Luck did what he does best: **** the Chiefs, with a ridiculous John Elway laser across his body and the field.



That's rookie RB Ty Whitfield, the Colts' first-round pick. After that huge catch and run set up a field goal, he then took a turn ****ing the Chiefs with a 33-yard TD run all on his own. 20-7 Colts. ****.



The Chiefs then threatened to make a game of it with a Lamont TD. But Andrew **** had other plans: namely, ****ing the Chiefs. That's a Colts TD, obviously. 27-14 Colts.



Amazingly, this is where the Chiefs actually began to fight back. Chris La"drop" made this ridiculous **** you catch over two Colts. This led to a TD. 27-21 Colts.



Then Justin Houston finally decided to show up and made the biggest (only?) defensive play of the day, forcing an Indy punt. **** you, Colts! Here come the Chiefs! 4:38 to go!



YES! THE CHIEFS TAKE THE LEAD! LOOK AT THAT BLOCK BY SHERMAN! THERE'S ONLY 1:13 LEFT! ANDREW **** COULDN'T POSSIBLY DO ANYTHING WITH THAT SCANT AMOUNT OF TIME!



Oh, **** you, Chiefs.



Alex Smith threw a Fail Mary all the way to midfield for a pick on the last play of the game, and Andy Reid hung his head in shame. The Chiefs fall to 4-3.



Around the league:

Thickening and dithguthting.

Jameis Winston with an incredible performance that brings him to 22 interceptions on the season! He should throw for about 600 yards against the Chiefs later this year.

Next week: Buffalo

After the Packers signed Chase Daniel recently...slim pickings. Certainly no one better than Garrett.

http://i.imgur.com/AfcxWkp.jpg

So how long is Maclin out? Lost for 6 weeks in Wk1 so shouldn't he be getting close?

Lamont not being a capable #1 has cost the Chiefs 2 wins thus far. Well that and their spectacularly bad run defense. A team that hasn't had a 100 yard rusher in 3 years just put up a 6+ YPC game against 'em.

He's "doubtful" for the Bills game. I could play him, but he'd be the slowest skill position on the field.

I *may* play him in limited action against the Chargers the week after, just in case I need an important hands play.

That's because Whitfield is basically a white Adrian Peterson.

http://i.imgur.com/kZeJze1.jpg

Plus, I started the game OK, but Luck was destroying me, so I had to play really soft, and then he started handing it to Whitfield. I do not want to face that Colts team again.

I'm not sure what's wrong with my run defense. Maybe Spikes is too slow and Dee Ford too stupid. The Raiders have a really good offensive line. I'm looking forward to the rematch.

Looks like a slightly better version of 'J. Young' to me...

With mediocre acceleration and agility, seems like you should be able to get to him before he gets up to speed pretty well.

Unless you're getting blown off the ball, which it appears the piss-poor Chiefs defensive front was having done to them most of the day.

Yep, and I was in nickel, dime or quarters most of the time.

Also Luck's scrambling really didn't help matters. :rolleyes:

Week 8: Chiefs @ Bills

It's here! The Chiefs mandatory, annual game against the Buffalo Bills. It's even real in video game land.

Eric Berry is broken and on IR, Jeremy Maclin broke his foot 6 weeks ago and is now "doubtful" with a speed rating of 54, and the Chiefs have the 32nd ranked defense. So the game plan for this week is: pound the rock, eat the clock, don't take so much cock.

Oh, shit. A week after getting toasted by Donte Moncrief, Marcus Peters is now going to try and get Sammy Watkins paid, too. He looks like he stopped to take a shit in the middle of Orchard Park. Thankfully Tyrod Taylor kinda sucks and the Bills only get a field goal.

http://i.imgur.com/LyPZ9y7.jpg

**** it, I'm going derp. Derp is what we call an Alex Smith deep ball. He just kinda chucks it up to Lamont, who may or may not catch it. He catches this one.

http://i.imgur.com/9RySuVs.jpg

Heeey Chiefs! Real nice job, you have the lead, 7-3. Bet you can't hold it though.

http://i.imgur.com/x9pLrE5.jpg

HOLY SHIT! The Chiefs get a turnover. It's Sam Shields first pick of the year. This leads to a field goal and the 32 defense is getting cocky. Tyrod Taylor is right in their wheelhouse. You do know this team beat Geno Smith and Brock Osweiler, right? 10-3 Chiefs.

http://i.imgur.com/MvCAjeL.jpg

Pound of flesh, baby! The Chiefs get the ball back after a Buffalo punt and Anthony Sherman puts a Jihad on ex-Chief Husain Abdullah. That's what you get for leaving America's heartland, you terrorist ****! 17-3 Chiefs. The running game is CRUNK today.

http://i.imgur.com/V34jJP8.jpg

Aw SHIT son. Rookie safety Keith Rhodes just laid a hit stick on Taylor. The Bills get a field goal but who cares? It's 17-6 and they haven't stopped Jamaal Charles all day...

http://i.imgur.com/E84EcKG.jpg

OH SHIT JAMAAL WHAT THE ****. Suddenly it's 17-13 Chiefs and Bob Sutton's sphincter is tightening. You know that fat **** #66 didn't catch anyone who picked up that fumble.

http://i.imgur.com/AI7qfln.jpg

Not to worry: Chris Lamont gets another derp ball. Muhammad can't save you now, Abdullah. The Chiefs offense is clicking and it's 24-13 at halftime.

http://i.imgur.com/HH9YS77.jpg

Oh shit, come on idiots. I bench Peters at halftime for Ron Parker and you're still getting your shit gouged?

http://i.imgur.com/nd2VXN8.jpg

DAMMIT LAMONT. YOU CAN'T EVEN CATCH DERP BALLS NOW?!

http://i.imgur.com/9EmdQLu.jpg

Suddenly it's 31-26 and I'm getting that sinking feeling. PLEASE SAVE US JAMAAL. Abdullah is trying to run him down, but you know he smoked that filthy Muslim traitor. This is a 64-yard TD catch. America, **** yeah!

http://i.imgur.com/8Fx91hN.jpg

Tyrod ain't no Andrew ****. Game over. The 32 Defense actually got two picks in a game. Jamaal is a ****ing stud.

http://i.imgur.com/w1AhhRb.jpg

Game ball: Husain Abdullah, for literally getting owned by everyone on my offensive roster.

Next: Midseason report. Can the 5-3 Chiefs hold on to their 6 seed? Will Jeremy Maclin ever walk again? You won't believe which Chief is leading in Pro Bowl votes! Stay tuned.

So enough about coaching. Let's talk GM skills. How is C. Lamont doing at WR compared to E. King?

Would love to see home mid-season team stats from around the league if you get time. Individual stats too.

Thanks.

Great write up on the Bills. I could feel your anger!
