ROFL

I'm thinking Geno goes late 1st in our league. We'll see what I can do. I do need to get back into the 1st. I have some players I can move.

I can't remember for sure now, but I have some extra picks I really want to start organizing. I might have more picks than open roster spots in fact, but the only ones I know for sure are an extra 3rd and 5th.

cd or rainman, any way that we could start to see information again soon on the draft slots that are already set, and at least the # of picks per round even if they aren't all set at the exact spot yet?

It's been a long season. But we've finally made it.

With apologies, cdcox will have to answer this question. I'm not up on the databases.

While some teams are wasting time in the playoffs, Duluth follows the long-touted Chiefs strategy of ending the season as soon as possible so we can concentrate on draft analysis. We're way ahead of the game.

If the playoff teams are ready, we should sim early tonight. /greedy

Our players are ready. They're on their couches with wings and beer.

This late starting time is really unfair to Pittsburgh.

Okay, here they come.

It makes for more of a party atmosphere when it's late.

I had to catch up on the drama. It's Alex Smith's fault.

Great effort from Anchorage defense to pull out the win. Missed field goals were huge in that one.

See you in Denver, Rabbits. :#

Las Vegas just couldn't get anything going on offense, and Alfred Morris crushed them.

That was a brutal crosswind in the Austin-Anchorage game. It was giving the kickers fits.

I'm not sure I liked the gameplan for Austin.

They got ahead early, but never seemed interesting in getting the running game going.

I'm impressed that Las Vegas made the playoffs with Jason Campbell as their starting quarterback. But not even Jason Campbell could slow down the steam engine that is Alfred Morris.

Division round line ups are posted. Sims on Thursday.

It's time.

We spent the whole offseason preparing for this.

THIS is the showdown.

Congrats to Pittsburg, I've got nothing at QB and RB.

Can someone please take out Denver, if Gochiefs wins this thing we will never hear the end of it.

Yeah, it's strange, I had been running the ball about 25-30 times per game, and I didn't change my gameplan for this one, but I guess the numbers just came out differently this time, so I only ran it 19 times.

Denver better hope they win this year. Because their 2013 season is rolling off on a cart. :evil:

Sounds like its nothing serious. He evidently went back out and ran a couple more plays before shutting it down for the day.

I mean it could be an Eric Berry kind of thing where he played on it before it really got bad on him, but seems unlikely.

Sims go go go I'm ready to take my losses

Alex Smith is pissing down his leg while CJ Spiller consumes methamphetamines.

Aaron Rodgers is sitting stoically in his stall right now, staring unblinking at a photograph of Brett Favre while eating a live kitten...tail first.

Drew Brees is sitting at his locker with a voodoo doll of Matt Schaub poking his throwing shoulder with a pin laughing hysterically.

Sims up.

Phillip Rivers is vacationing in Paris, laughing at the QBs who are about to get hit.

YES!!!!!!!

No, I have no idea what happened in my game yet.

But I honestly don't even care....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Well Daryl Richardson stomped my team out of no where what a joke. lol

**** EVERYTHING

**** YOU ANCHORAGE

I HATE LIFE

WHAT THE ****

Seriously.

More people on the main board need to know about this league. There is so much catharsis to be taken over here...

This is ****ing BULLSHIT.

I run roughshod over these assholes for 400 yards in the regular season and get shut down for 2.86 yards per carry tonight?

I HATE SANDBOX SIMULATIONS

AND DENVER GOES DOWN LMAO WHAT THE **** CHANGED THIS WEEK?

On an ancillary point, for the 2nd consecutive year, a week 1 strategic overhaul yielded huge dividends in the Divisional round for me. Clearwater advances to its 2nd straight Conference Championship.

Well Anchorage, I feel like we've been here before.

Come at me, bro...

The Cedar Rapids-Clearwater game was clearly played in a driving rainstorm.

Daryl Richardsons garbage ass ran for a shit load on my team. Something weird happened.

He had two carries for 6 yars the first time we played

A 15-1 (should have been 16-0) team gets PUNKED in IT'S OWN HOUSE by a 9-7 team.

What ever. WHATEVER.

AAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This game wasn't even CLOSE. I got straight up DOMINATED.

IAIAGIADJGIDOGNJIJ3Q390QJR30Q9RJWEO@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

That 4th and goal in the Anchorage-Denver game was a big deal, along with the time-sucking drive afterwards.

Jesus - Vance !@#$ing Walker with another sack and safety.

I am going to openly root for that guy with Oakland after seeing him just destroy worlds for me in Sandbox. He was a guy I targeted because I couldn't get Desmond Bryant and had some money to spend. He's arguably been my defensive MVP.

Oh, and Malcolm Smith, the mid-season addition to the starting lineup, with 2 more picks in this game. He's been a Godsent as a coverage LBer. His first interception set up a short field and a TD to turn it into a 19-0 game, 2 passes later he housed one to make it 26-0.

Malcolm Smith absolutely changed the face of that game in the span of about 10 plays. The 2nd half started at 12-0 with Cedar Rapids having the football. With 10 minutes still to go in the 3rd, it was suddenly 26-0.

Malcolm Smith: Gameball.

18 carries for 45 yards, two weeks after he goes off for 200.

COMPUTER, DIE

Don't even get me started on the sudden Alex Smith explosion after that offense did NOTHING against me.

I just want to throw my computer through the window.

Didn't seem to bother Rodgers very much.

His diet of Adderall and kittens suited him well.

if you want to see a crazy game go to league 2 and look at my st louis game.

The highest scoring offense in the league scores NINE POINTS at HOME.

WHAT.

ya this, did something change CD?

The Independence-Fort Wayne game was a game of big plays. Big, big plays, and key interceptions.

I'm sure Anchorage's WONDERFUL OWNER will be along shortly to reveal his AMAZING gameplan.

Whoa. Alfred Morris. THE Alfred Morris. That guy can carry a team.

Yeah. I called the Pittsburgh upset.

NOT THAT I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

Clearly he had too much meth before the game.

Ya Drew Brees is so inconsistent in Sandbox for some reason.

I am so looking forward to having Alex D. Smith as a Chief.

Can we start the offseason?

He certainly wasn't elite this season. I had him for a few games in League 2 before Sorter took that team, and he was maddening at times.

That's my major concern/complaint with Sandbox right now.

For a QB, we know when they're underperforming. Lineman? Nope. LBs? Nope. It's really hard to know if my LG is getting abused routinely because he's underperforming. So you kinda have to guess and w/ the season being only 16 games and w/ no halftime adjustments, any of those experiments are largely born of desperation.

There is so much fog on these rosters that we can't see through. I really hope that that gets ironed out sooner or later so we can get more feedback and adjust lineups accordingly.

Alex D. Smith: destroyer of worlds

On the box score screen, the qb pressure % the one under your team is what your team pressured the other team or is that what the other team pressured you?

At this point, I'm just gonna say **** it and blitz the crap out of him every time I play Anchorage.

Rain Man has been pushing for some kind of idea of how non-skill players are contributing for at least a year. We'll likely do something about that before next simulation season, though there will always be some fog of war in Sandbox, because that is the way the NFL is.

The latter; if it's 50%, your QB spent the day running for his life.

Yes and no.

There's film; the eye in the sky don't lie. I can look at a player and know if he sucked. So no, when it comes to individually evaluation a player's performance, there's not a lot of fog there.

I'm guessing Anchorage was totally sandbagging with that Week 16 gameplan of theirs.

He's a crafty SOB.

I'm glad I got my loony gameplan out of the way the first time I played Cedar Rapids.

I played this one how I'd play a more balanced offense instead of selling out and my defense absolutely abused him. Cedar Rapids didn't even really sniff the scoreboard in this game.

My defense absolutely dismantled them when I stopped trying to be cute with it.

:loser:

I gave up an asston for CJ Spiller and Wes Welker and Tyson Clabo this offseason and they all sucked rabbit ass in this game.

At this point I have to hope that Jason Peters returns to form in 2013, because I am at a ****ing loss for this stupid scrappy little Anchorage team.

Share with us, dragon slayer.

How did you slay the beast?

Even watching film, there can be honest disagreements in the NFL who the best guard is during a given season. If you asked 10 different NFL GMs to rank the best 20 guards, you'll get 10 different answers, some widely different. You get tiers of players and that is about as good as you will be able to define things, and even then there is disagreement. Then there is week to week variation. In Sandbox you will never be provided with a list of all the starting guards ranked 1-48. You won't see ratings for strength, speed, agility. You'll know player x made 3 key blocks in the run game, got beat 2, allowed 1 sack and 2 pressures, etc. All of those numbers are context specific, depending on opponents, formations, the RB, the QB, and stochastic variation. There is always fog.

I'm good. Memory serves that we play again twice next year.

Hopefully only twice.

I hope Alex D. Smith breaks several bones this year. This shit ain't right. IT AIN'T RIGHT.

I will give you this though. Week 16 was designed to entice you into a gameplan that if you were successful enough you would repeat. I changed to adapt that gameplan and the results speak for themselves.

Oh, and you can add my other major offseason acquisition, Devin McCourty, to the list of chokers.

Alex Smith going HAM from the opening the snap and he is absolutely nowhere to be found.

I changed my gameplan, too. It wasn't nearly as conservative.

The annoying thing is...even if I had gone more aggressive (say 55-45) to counter what was surely a run-down blitz-heavy attack...Brady probably would have just been ripped to shreds anyway.

He absolutely SUCKS against Anchorage. EVERY TIME. Unless I hide him. Like he's Matt Cassel or something.

JJ and Von came up big in this game. That goal line stand was all Watt - the batted pass for sure and the sack on 4th down.

I think it looks like a little Alex D. Karma all up in here.

This time I get to play the revenge card.

I'm the Sandbox 90s Chiefs.

29-3 in the regular season, 0-2 in the playoffs. At home.

My QB is even a choke artist.

Well he is hand chosen by the gods, so it makes sense.
