Mals' Chiefs: A Madden Franchise
 

Fed up with losing in the playoffs? Want to draft a QB? Want to fire Andy Reid?

The Chiefs won't do it, but I will.

Tonight I dusted off my copy of Madden 2008 for the PC, grabbed an updated roster and off we go!

First order of business: simulate the 2015 season. Stop worrying. Everything is fine.

Oops. We lost in the divisional round again. ROFL

http://i.imgur.com/6Q41jDo.jpg

Your Super Bowl champions: :rolleyes:

Onto the offseason!

I'll post retirees, who is cut/resigned, and if there are any intriguing fake quarterbacks for selection in the 2016 draft. :hmmm:

First order of business: CHANGE THIS OFFENSE.

The new GM demands an experienced offensive coordinator who is focused on quarterback play. The Chiefs hire MIKE MARTZ. The west-coast, sideways bullshit offense is GONE.

Andy Reid remains the head coach, but Martz will run the offense.

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

Can Alex Smith run it? Offseason reports from Kansas City indicate Smith, now 32, is slowing down a bit.

http://i.imgur.com/8kObDz5.jpg

"Yeah, he looks slower," said Martz. "Big deal. I don't want my QB running around, anyway. If this team is going to take the next step, we must improve QB play from the pocket."

In other news, a rash of superstar players have retired! The league says goodbye to:

Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Carson Palmer
Drew Brees

Can Alex Smith and the Chiefs take advantage of the void in the AFC? No word on who the Broncos and Patriots expect to take over at QB.

The Chiefs have a huge lot of players hitting free agency.

The exception: Tamba Hali. He takes a hometown deal rather than hitting the open market.

Free agency...a mixed bag for the Chiefs.

Eric Berry, Charcandrick West and Demetrius Harris were the only players the Chiefs retained.

Sean Smith was lost in a bidding war to the Vikings, and while the Chiefs were scrambling to replace him, Jaye Howard also got away to the Cardinals.

The Chiefs chose not to re-sign aging ILB Derrick Johnson, who joins the Browns.


Wins for the Chiefs in free agency:

1. ILB Brandon Spikes replaces Johnson
2. RT Austin Howard replaces Donald Stephenson
3. LE Stephen Paea replaces Mike DeVito
4. CB Sam Shields replaces Sean Smith
5. WR Tre McBride replaces Jason Avant
6. ILB Zach Brown replaces Josh Mauga, who was cut.

The Chiefs will look to the draft to replace backup QB Chase Daniel and a handful of other roster rabble.

Needs for the Chiefs in the draft: QB, WR, SS, RG, NT

In other free agency news:

The Patriots made the biggest splash of all, signing disgruntled Lions receiver Calvin Johnson. New England signed Nick Foles to lead their offense with the retirement of Tom Brady.

Division rival Oakland made a huge upgrade by stealing cap casualty Earl Thomas III from Seattle.

Stay tuned as the Chiefs head into the draft. Is there a QB prospect? Will the Chiefs consider trading up?

Ummm, wrong forum?

Media center = video games?

can't see the images so I thought this was general football discussion.

I find this interesting. You probably could have put it in the main forum.

WTF is going on in here?

he's playing coach and GM

For the 800th year in a row, the Chiefs did not draft a first-round quarterback. :facepalm:

But...what an amazing haul.

Knowing his team needs a WR and a big-time playmaker with Jamaal Charles hitting 30, GM Mals makes a bold move: he trades up from 28 with the Minnesota Vikings, getting the 17th pick and takes...

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

What a beast! Standing 6-5 and weighing in at 245 pounds, there isn't an inch of fat on Chris Lamont, who is immediately one of the fastest WRs in the league.

"This was no a brainer for us," said Mals. "We lost LG Ben Grubbs in the deal, but who needs a 33-year old guard when you can get Megatron II? Now it's on the QB to get him the ball."

The only concern with Lamont: severely injury prone. We'll see how this plays out with Martz sure to increase KC's passing attempts.


Overall the Chiefs got quite a haul of speed in the draft. Their second round pick will immediately start at strong safety. Their third-round pick will provide depth at CB and return kicks and punts. The rest of the draft provides depth, value and most importantly: speed.

http://i.imgur.com/5z8UPqz.jpg

The top pick in the draft: QB Derek Perry, who went to the Texans. The Chiefs did have an opportunity to select talented QB Ronnie Moore, a first-round prospect who fell all the way to the Chargers in round 3 because of his tiny 6-foot frame.

Instead the Chiefs took CB Tai Campbell, who won't even start in the nickel. Chiefs fans are not happy.

I'm a fan of this thread.

Broncos win the Super Bowl!

The Chiefs released Chase Daniel (nobody wanted him in free agency, either) so the QB position has to be addressed in free agency/trade.

Your new Chiefs backup QBs:

Logan Thomas - 3 years, $3.02 million.

http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/L...luWEDwkFul.jpg

Garrett Grayson - KC sends De'Anthony Thomas, Albert Wilson and a 4th rounder to the Saints for their 2015 third round pick.

http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/7f22...ufbgrayson.jpg

Grayson and Thomas will battle in preseason for the backup job to Alex Smith.

Smith, Thomas and Grayson all have three-year contracts.

:hmmm:

Other Chiefs roster moves:

LT Eric Fisher signs a 7-year deal worth 44.6 million. Fisher was due to hit free agency next offseason, and this saves the Chiefs about 3 million against the 2016 cap after their spendy free agency period. We were right up against the cap.

Chiefs use the room to sign:

S Tyvon Branch
LE DeAndre Coleman
NT Terence Cody
SS Shamarko Thomas
And two undrafted rookies to provide depth at RT and NT.

The Chiefs new third string NT is ****ing HUGE:

http://i.imgur.com/0aMsF2K.jpg

Onto the preseason! The Chiefs face Washington, Seattle, the Rams and Saints.

This is worse than fantasy football......:eek:

no way, this is awesome!

I look forward to this series, but it's sad Alex's own coach Mike Martz seems to be somewhat skeptical of his starter.

Chiefs finish the preseason 2-2.

Concerns for the Chiefs: the passing game needs a lot of work.

The offensive line allowed 22 sacks in 4 preseason games, including 9 by the Chiefs' new starter at RT, Austin Howard. He may have been drinking.

Alex Smith has a firm hold on the starting QB position, but was mediocre in preseason, where his longest pass was just 36 yards (on a dumpoff to Jamaal Charles).

Chiefs backup QB competition was a no brainer:

http://i.imgur.com/YTt2Sib.jpg

Preseason standout: First round pick Chris Lamont, who hauled in 21 catches for 303 yards and 3 TD.

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

His 42-yard TD from Garrett Grayson won Week 4's game against Houston and was the Chiefs' longest play of the preseason.

http://i.imgur.com/fOEbX6K.jpg

Injury concerns for the Chiefs: Escaped with only a broken jaw suffered by Ron Parker. He will miss a month.

The Chiefs open against the Panthers in Week 1.

http://i.imgur.com/rmiq2mT.jpg

You can check out the full roster and preseason statistics below:

What will it take for Alex to be cut? I'm not sure how his contract is set up.

Might as well just put Grayson out there and groom him to be the starter.

I will take a $10.8 million cap hit next offseason if I do that.

I've only got $1.5 million in space right now and I have to sign Kelce and Poe next offseason.

Besides, Brady and Manning just retired. THE AFC IS OURS. Watch me Dilfer this shit to the Lombardi.

How the hell does your first round pick super-stud WR only have a 3 year deal?!?! At $8 million/per despite being drafted late in the 3rd, no less.

Way to **** that up, Dorsey.

So where did you land your updated roster from?

LMAO

I am glad you are using updated Front Page Sports football 97'

Injury prone. In fact, his injury rating is 41, which is incredibly low. He has the third lowest injury rating in the league.

Didn't want to sign him long term until he proves he can stay healthy.

Rookie contracts are more expensive since Madden 2008 was coded long before the CBA changes. I could have actually signed him for 7 years but didn't want to commit just yet. :D

Calvin Johnson got a 6 year, $64 million deal with $27 mil guaranteed as a rookie, so I'd say 3 years, $24 mil with $9.5 mil guaranteed is very reasonable.

Alex's huge contract is off the books in three years and then if my WR pans out I'll have money to blow on him.

(besides the salary cap is almost never an issue in this game, it always goes way too high, although I've lowered it now for the sake of realism, but it probably won't have an effect past the first three or four years)

Updated rosters...and graphics...use the FFXV mod if you want to give this a try, it's incredible: http://www.footballidiot.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=86

Week 1: Chiefs 28, Panthers 24

The Chiefs' new high-flying passing attack has paid immediate dividends.

With the score 7-7 and 6 minutes remaining in the first half, the Panthers had the Chiefs backed up on their own 14-yard line.

It took just one play for Mike Martz's offense to say: hey, what the **** is up league.



The Chiefs did not play it safe. Rookie speedster Chris Lamont ran a deep post and when the middle of the field opened up, Alex Smith let it fly.



Eighty-six yards later Lamont had a TD and Carolina's defense had severe burns.



The Panthers later took a 24-21 lead in the third, but a 22-yard TD to Travis Kelce proved to be the winning score.



Alex Smith threw for 293 yards and three TDs, adding another on the ground. He completed only two throws beyond 20 yards for the day, but his receivers definitely made them count. Who knows if this trend will continue, but for one day, the Chiefs were not boring on offense.

Kansas City will need to lean on Lamont even more going forward, as #1 wideout Jeremy Maclin was lost for six weeks with a broken foot. Tre McBride will step into his place as the new starter opposite Lamont.



Potential free agent signing?



Next up: the Chiefs visit the Atlanta Falcons.

Bonus screencap: your top rated NFL QB after one week.

http://i.imgur.com/P01jaf4.jpg

Around the league: Andrew Luck won player of the week with 457 yards passing, 63 yards rushing and 4 total TD in a 37-0 blasting of the Texans. Top overall pick Derek Perry had only 109 yards passing in his debut.

Ex-Chiefs guard Ben Grubbs, traded in the deal that brought Chris Lamont to KC, has broken ribs that will keep him out for 7 weeks. The Bears also lost Jay Cutler for 12 weeks due to broken ribs. Brian Hoyer will take over for Chicago. ROFL

Do it, sign Bowe.

This is entertaining shit tbh. This stuff reminds me of how bad the franchise mode has gotten in Madden now. That 2007/08 franchise was actually pretty good compared to the crap they've developed now. Madden needs to completely scrap and redo franchise mode.

This smells like a Clay mult

I *could* use the depth, but he wouldn't start. He does have better hands than almost everyone else on the roster (save McBride).

If another injury hits and drops become a problem I'd have to make a move. The main problem I have now is not forcing the ball to Lamont. If I do that, he's definitely going to get hurt.

This is actually a pretty cool thread. This thread would suck with about anyone else running it, but you're making it entertaining.

Week 2: Chiefs 28, Falcons 10

Any doubt about the Chiefs defense was answered as they throttled Atlanta's offense. Devonta Freeman had only 57 yards rushing and the Falcons didn't reach the end zone until garbage time.

Jamaal Charles turned in his first 100-yard game of the season, and added two touchdown catches.

The Chiefs dominated Atlanta without Dontari Poe, who left the game early with a minor shoulder injury. But not before he clobbered Freeman:

http://i.imgur.com/1wnorQk.jpg

Allen Bailey clotheslined Freeman later in the game:

http://i.imgur.com/7dN8xfN.jpg

Around the league: Ben Roethlisberger threw 8 TDs in a 62-35 rout of the Bengals. Cam Newton was the player of the week, however, with 357 yards passing, 110 yards rushing and 5 total TDs.

Week 3: The Chiefs visit the Dolphins for a Monday night game.

You should stream the super bowl on Twitch.

I love shit like this. Loved to franchise mode Madden but haven't played in years.

Are you simulating these games or actually playing them yourself?

This is entertaining I will say..

I'll do any playoff games if I get that far.

Playing myself, of course. That way I can get Lamont out of bounds on every catch instead of taking a hit. :D

We could all start a league or join one. I played in a 94 rosters online league not too long ago.

Mmm...well online franchise died on the PC after 2006, I think? Not sure. You only need like 12 people to play, minimum, though.

The EA servers don't work anymore. You need to dload some updates to play online on a different server.

I can make a how-to video if we get enough guys. If not, we can find another franchise. A lot of people still play online.

Ive never played sports video games on the computer. How is playing a football game even possible without a joystick?

There are these things called gamepads...

This is like that time in The SIMS where I replicated myself with flowing hair and 40 Lbs lighter weight and with a better job and a cool house and I got woo-woo (sex) all the time.

Week 3: Dolphins 31, Chiefs 21

In a driving rainstorm, the Chiefs offense sputtered for much of the night. Rookie Chris Lamont was the only bright spot, with 9 catches for 114 yards and another TD, but it was far too little.

Kansas City could not run the ball, as Ndamukong Suh dominated the interior of the Chiefs line. After Charles fumbled to end a promising Chiefs drive early in the first quarter, Suh splattered Charles all over the turf on an ensuing possession.



At that point Kansas City decided to throw more. But, on a screen pass in the first quarter, Alex Smith got nailed. He would miss the rest of the game with a strained calf, giving way to backup Garrett Grayson.



The Chiefs then fell behind 20-7 thanks to Rishard Matthews, who had staked the Dolphins to a 13-7 lead just before halftime with a 77-yard catch-and-run TD, in which he shook rookie safety Keith Rhodes.



Mathews caught 4 touchdowns on the night, burning Marcus Peters several times. His third TD put Miami up for good, as he shook Peters, caught the ball in stride and outraced the Chiefs into the end zone.



Grayson did bring the Chiefs to within 20-14 late in the third, hitting Lamont for a TD. But later on, his inaccuracy showed, killing several drives.



The Dolphins went up 23-14 and, after the Chiefs stalled once again with 5 minutes remaining, sealed the game with Matthews fourth TD catch, in which KC was caught in an all-out blitz on third and goal at the 1.



Fortunately for the Chiefs, they get a break this week as they return home to face NFL Interception King Geno Smith.



Around the league: The Broncos are 3-0 despite averaging 191 yards a game on offense in 2016. Brock Osweiler is off to a stunning start with 112 yards passing per game and 4 INT. The Chiefs visit Denver after hosting New York.

I can't believe that the Chiefs didn't take E King. He's faster and stronger than Lamont.

He's also 5-foot-8.

The Raiders took him. ROFL

Week 4: Chiefs 29, Jets 26

Geno Smith torched the Chiefs for almost 500 yards passing, but in the end could not score touchdowns, as Kansas City won in overtime.

It was an odd game for the Chiefs, who fell behind 9-0 early and also had trouble scoring touchdowns, leaning on Santos, who kicked 7 field goals ( from 41, 49, 46, 22, 23, 18 and 42 yards)

Drops were an issue for the Chiefs. Rookie Chris Lamont had another 100-yard game, but dropped 4 passes, leading to repeated stalled drives.



Meanwhile, Geno continued to flirt with disaster, narrowly avoiding interceptions.



With the score 9-3 in the second quarter, Geno made the first of his mistakes, fumbling the ball after a crushing sack by Dee Ford.



The Chiefs kicked another field goal following the turnover and eventually tied the game at 9 just before halftime. Meanwhile, Geno continued to flirt with disaster, narrowly avoiding interceptions.



Kansas City started the second half with Santos' fourth field goal, before the Jets finally mounted a drive culminating in a Bilal Powell touchdown run. The Chiefs responded by leaning on Jamaal Charles.



Unfortunately, a promising drive ended in another field goal, as Lamont dropped a TD pass.



Trailing 16-15, the Chiefs then appeared to lose control of the game, as Geno hooked up with Jeff Cumberland on an 84-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown. Cumberland got wide open off a play fake and then ran over Eric Berry.



The Chiefs punted trailing 23-15 with about 7 minutes left. All hope seemed lost. All Geno Smith had to do was pick up a few first downs and the game was over.

But when you continue to flirt with disaster...



Disaster bends you over and anally rapes you!



The Chiefs took Brandon Spikes INT and tied the game on a short TD run and 2-point conversion pass to Charles. Geno, however, had not learned his lesson, and continued to force the ball to Cumberland.



Amazingly, it worked, and the Jets led by 3 with a little over two minutes left. Lamont started catching the ball, however, and the Chiefs had a chance to win the game on third and goal with 10 seconds left, but were stopped a yard short.



Santos sent the game into overtime with his sixth field goal. In overtime, the Chiefs stopped Geno one final time and Santos was true from 42 yards out.


Around the league: The 4-0 Broncos have seemingly found their offense a week before the Chiefs visit them in Denver. Player of the Week Brock Osweiler threw for 472 yards and 5 TD in a 42-38 shootout win over New Orleans.

Although you won, kicking the FG from 4th and Goal on the 1 with Charles in the backfield is a bitchmade decision.

Still, 9.9/10, would read again.

The Jets' front seven was wrecking Morse, Tardif and my rookie LG all day. I went full Schottenheimer and ran it 3 times inside the 5, straight up the ****ing middle. ROFL

Still can't believe Geno bailed me out. It wasn't even a user pick. LMAO

5 rushing yards for the Jets. Like the front line of the Chiefs owing them.

Looks like Lamount trained with D. Bowe in the off-season or something. Too many drops.

Alex looks like he's being Alex.

Haven't played Madden in years. The play I always go to in NCAA when I need a short yardage score is to go Goalline with a Double HB swap, and then give it to the feature back on a FB dive.

In his defense, 7 drops was not pretty. He had two TD passes dropped.

All the throws over 25 yards are shitty, though.

Should be fun to scramble with him when his speed drops another 5 pts next offseason.

unemployed much?

I'm comfortably retired. You can tell by my pic.

I'm down to play online sometime Mals.

Week 5: Chiefs 23, Broncos 20

Brock Osweiler? They're calling him Sack Osweiler after the Chiefs got done with him Sunday night.

Osweiler was nailed seven times by Kansas City's defense in a 23-20 loss that tied Kansas City with Denver atop the AFC West.

While the Chiefs passing game malfunctioned again, thanks to five drops from tight end Travis Kelce, Jamaal Charles carried the offense. He ripped off a big gain on the game's opening snap from scrimmage.



The Chiefs took a 7-0 lead on a short TD pass to Tre McBride. And then the carnage started on Osweiler. Justin Houston notched KC's first sack of the game.



The Broncos did manage to tie the game at 7 with a long TD pass, but the Chiefs regained the lead thanks to another huge play from Alex Smith to Chris Lamont, leading to a field goal.



The Chiefs then began to assault Osweiler en masse. Stephen Paea nailed him right in the chest, and Dee Ford followed with a sack of his own.



Osweiler eventually cracked under the pressure, and threw an interception to Eric Berry.



The Chiefs then seemingly blew a chance to extend their lead, as Smith was pressured, ran backwards and threw the ball away on a horrible intentional grounding penalty that lost 26 yards.



But on 2nd and 36, Charles saved KC's bacon once again, and ripped off his longest gain of the season, a 46-yarder that set up a field goal that put the Chiefs up 13-7.



Meanwhile, the Chiefs defended their lead by treating Sack Osweiler like the bitch he is. Zach Brown, who had an incredible 17 tackles for the Chiefs, grabbed his first sack of the season.



The Broncos kicked a field goal to make the score 13-10, but thanks to a long catch-and-run from fullback Anthony Sherman and a Smith TD run, the Chiefs put the game out of reach.



Smith survived despite half of Denver's defense nailing him at the goal line.



Kansas City then ended the game the way it started by beating the crap out of Sack Osweiler, one last time, though he did manage to score a garbage time TD.



Around the league: The Seattle Seahawks are the last undefeated team at 5-0. The surprising Miami Dolphins have the AFC's best record at 5-1.

Next week: The Chiefs travel to Oakland to face the 3-1 Raiders. The AFC West is tightly contested this season: every team has a winning record so far.

46 yard gain by Jamaal on 2nd and 36 LMAO

And that pic of the entire Denver D bearing down on Alex at the goal line. He must have gotten his shit all ****ed up.

"Brock Osweiler? They're calling him Sack Osweiler after the Chiefs got done with him Sunday night."

This made me ROFL


This shit is too good.

How did Sherman not score on that pass? He must be speed 20!

Much better thread than I originally guessed.

My passing game was doing shit all so I just said "**** it" and handed it off. :D

I'm going to change the pass catch sliders so they're a little more realistic...we'll see if the passing offense improves.

Really looking forward to playing virtual Andrew Luck after the Raiders.

He isn't fast, and when you play on All Madden mode it's easy for slow players to get caught from behind.

I want this Chris Lamont guy to be on the Chiefs in real life

He's not realizing half his potential with Alex at QB. He absolutely cannot lead receivers deep, at all.

It's frustrating given that the last time I played Madden years ago, I had a drafted QB with a massive arm who could hit any throw.

I'm thinking next offseason I may trade Charles, Hali and someone on my DL for a higher pick.

(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.

http://i.imgur.com/UOjTE6T.jpg

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.

http://i.imgur.com/cNfm2ej.jpg

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.

**** 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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

Chiefs Midseason Report

Record: 5-3

Current AFC Standings:

Remaining schedule:

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

Analysis: the second half is favorable with 5 of 8 at home. If the Chiefs can hold serve against the AFCW at home they should be in good shape. If not, look out, because that 3-3 conference record isn't good.

Chiefs first-half MVP: RB Jamaal Charles. He leads the NFL with 773 rushing yards on 156 carries (1 TD). Add in his his receiving (38-370-5) and he's on pace for a ridiculous 2,286 yards from scrimmage. That's a yard shy of the record Priest Holmes set in 2002. I'm going to abuse Charles because he's being traded after this season most likely (depending on draft prospects). Can the Chiefs ride this pony to the Super Bowl?

Runner up: WR Chris Lamont. Yes, he has 19 ****ing drops. No one else is even close. He also leads the NFL with 770 receiving yards on 45 catches, with 5 TD. He averages 8.1 yards after the catch. That's ****ing insane, and the next closest WR, Calvin Johnson, trails him by TWO YARDS. Without LaDrop, the Chiefs are 3-5 probably.

Best FA signing: RT Austin Howard After a terrible preseason, he stopped drinking and has allowed only 3 sacks (2 of which came against Khalil Mack).

Least valuable player: CB Marcus Peters The toasty and crispy for a new generation. He leads the NFL in catches allowed, with 33. Benched at halftime of the Buffalo game, can he get his starting job back? He's on a short leash.

BIG SHOCK: Despite being 20th in passing yards, Alex Smith leads the league in Pro Bowl votes. Aw yeah. Suck it haters.

Next up: Chargers. Jeremy Maclin remains doubtful.

Full first-half statistical rundown:

Bonus coverage:

E. King has 15 catches for 116 yards and was a non-factor against KC. GM Mals is quite pleased with his draft selection.

Hi Count!

Week 9: Chargers @ Chiefs

Note: video is being worked into these posts now. See below.

Philip Rivers comes to Arrowhead! Surely this will work out for the Chiefs 32 Defense (technically they're 27th in points allowed but who's counting). The loser of this game will be in last place in the hotly contested AFC West.

Ron Parker is our new starting CB. Technically his coverage is way better than Peters, but the result is the same. I'm sure that 33-yard Stevie Johnson gain is just a fluke though.



Yep. So is this TD pass on the opening drive. We just need to make adjustments.



Do you like those throwback uniforms? Alex Smith looks studly in them as he fires this TD to Kelce. We're all tied up!



Ron immediately decides to fake an injury to avoid further embarrassment.



You know what this means: Marcus Peters wins back his starting position! Rivers knows exactly where to throw the ball. This ends in a 14-7 Chargers lead.



It's high time we added some video to this thread so....here's proof of how bad Peters is. He missed the interception, but made up for it by not tackling.

<iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/zfb0" width="853" height="533" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

Oh god now I fumbled a kickoff.



Peters really wanted to defend this pass but had to take a shit in the end zone. It's raining and Philip Rivers has completed 21 of 24 passes in the first half. 21-7.



Meanwhile the Chiefs are leaning on Jamaal Charles. So are the Chargers.



Apparently Peters has a disease and it's spreading. Sam Shields makes a great play on the ball and...the Chargers get a huge gain. 24-7 Chargers.

<iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/oieq" width="853" height="533" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

Right before halftime the Chargers attempt a hail mary. Peters commits pass interference on the play. They get another FG. They receive the second half kickoff and go on a soul-crushing drive that basically puts the game out of reach at 34-7.



At this point I yank Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles. Garrett Grayson comes in and for the first time all year, a Chiefs QB throws a pass over 35 yards. Yay! Chris Lamont celebrates being down 41-14.

<iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/zbqh" width="853" height="533" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

The comeback ends there because Garrett Grayson is not accurate.



So yeah, I lose 50 to 20. At home. Ouch. I am now on the outside looking in to the playoffs. But I'm still only a game out of first in the AFC West. And next week I get to face this turd! The 32 Defense is totally gonna stop him! Also, holy shit, the Saints have the worst collection of QBs ever.

Heads have to roll after a loss like that at home!

Bye week adjustments:

Chiefs scrap defensive playbook. I've been running a custom hybrid 4-3/3-4 I created years ago. Apparently it doesn't work too well with a roster that's not loaded with All-Pros. I'll now use the standard 3-4 playbook.

Justin Houston moves back to LOLB, Dee Ford will play ROLB. It seems like a lot of long runs are coming to Ford's side, and I typically control the ROLB or FS. Hopefully now Houston will lock down strong side runs and I can better control the weakside.

Chiefs sign Cortland Finnegan. He's 32 and slow, but at least he has 86 AWR. For now he's a backup at FS and CB. If things don't improve...who knows...

Progression point hit. Peters actually picked up 2 points of AWR for god knows what reason. Ron Parker DECLINED, although he's still 1 point higher than Peters. But I may as well start Peters at this point. **** it.

Bring on the 'Aints! The AFC West is still within reach!
