ESPN simulator looks just a bit different this year.

More accurately, the single random simulation they happened to pull out of 20,000 is more realistic than it was last year.

I like this one more too.

[tredadda]

Love how they somehow have us losing to the Jets.

[eDave]

Losses to Bill, Jets, Bucs, Saints, and Chargers according to this thing. And Brady is taking head.

[DJay23]

I like the outcome, but yeah, losing to the Jets at home...you better add in a detail about injuries or half the team has the coronavirus or something.

The other thing that seems iffy are all of the low yardage numbers in these games that they highlight under the results.

"Derrick Henry has 89 total yards and a score, but it’s not enough. Deshaun Watson throws for 244 yards and a pair of scores in a 27-20 win."

89 total yards huh? 244 passing?! Wow, no wonder they won!

Yeah.

I can't remember do they post the collective average from all the simulations somewhere or is this all the info we get from the 20,000 sims?

I like this one more too.One quibble......I know every team can have a bad week. Overlook a team and get your hat handed to you but losing to the Jets? I'm not seeing it.

"Sam Darnold out-duels Mahones"

You can see it now.

Right?

It could happen, right?

Fuck no. ROFL

[DJJasonp]

This was the "tom brady show"........but I'll take the final outcome.

[Demonpenz]

The jets game is alumni weekend and the career day defense has it's homecoming

[PHOG]

I like the ending. :thumb:

I hope Brady and Tampa flame out hard. Would be hilarious if they don’t make the playoffs considering all the hype around them.

The thing is, that's a talented team. If they can manage to shore up the back end of the defense and Brady reduces their turnovers by 20 (yeah, he could do it. 30 INT's is ridiculous), they're a playoff team almost by default.

[mnchiefsguy]

While I agree with the Super Bowl results, I have a tough time see the Chiefs going 11-5. I think 12 wins is their floor and they are more likely a 13 or 14 win team.

But as long as they repeat, that is the main thing!

That’s all true. Still hoping they flame out.

But as long as they repeat, that is the main thing!There are some damn good teams in the 1st place schedule we are glad to have. I could see us losing to the Ravens, NO, Bills and TB. But, not to all. We will get everyone’s best shot. They will have to play at their top level or they can lose.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

The NFL did Brady and the Bucs a huge scheduling favor. The only possible cold weather road games they have are Denver and New York. They play @Denver in September and @New York on November 1st.

Of course they did.

Only if the team takes another impromptu trip to Turks and Caicos the week of the Jets and gets back to town Saturday night.

To be fair, they ARE in the NFC South, but yeah they do love them some Brady and try to help him out as much as is allowed.

[Halfcan]

So the Bills are going to come into Arrowhead and hand Mahomes the first multi-score loss of his footbal career?

Not in this universe.

Game is at Buffalo. Chiefs road schedule is pretty tough.

Just don’t believe in that Buffalo offense as long a Allen is their QB. Who knows he might be a lot better this year, however.

[mnchiefsguy]

Yeah...The Chiefs floor for points this year is gonna be 27-28....

The Simulator had a lot of low scoring games...This offense is gonna rock.

[MMXcalibur]

Love how they somehow have us losing to the Jets.

LMAO, glad someone noticed.

I had to double check to make sure I saw that.

[BWillie]

I dont understand why they think Tom Brady will be so good. If it was any other QB coming off of a historically bad season at age 43 they wouldn't think that.

[BigRedChief]

LMAO, glad someone noticed.

I had to double check to make sure I saw that.We have lost a at least one game each year we shouldn't have in the two years of the Mahomes era. But, I just don't see it being the Jets game this year.

[Halfcan]

They have him leading the NFL in yardage. LMAO

No way he throws for more TD's and yards than Mahomes.

He's got evans and godwin and gronk and howard to throw to and.... fournette and jones as his rb. They'll be throwing a lot.

He didn't have a historically bad season though..

Actually the Jets game is on 11/1. In 1998 the Chiefs played the Jets @ Arrowhead on 11/1 and NYJ beat the Chiefs on a FG as time expired.

[Graystoke]

Spoiler Alert:

Chiefs win it all!

The 1998 complete meltdown team. ROFL

[bowener]

Maybe it secretly factored in Mahomes and half the starting offense sitting out with COVID.
