Thanks Jason. Which game is FFF?

I just saw that APBA has the 1985 set for sale.

@Hey_Hey_A-P-B-A 13 hours ago Is running the exact amount of plays from scrimmage for each player more accurate than any time keeping system a game may offer? Intuitively, it just makes sense to simply run x amount of plays that were run during the actual game. Good video. Thank you.

Super fun game, Jason! Stray football plays smooth (smoothly?):. Thanks for sharing!

The disappearance of the great pass pro RB in the pro set (think Roger Craig) seems to be directly related to the increase in QB injuries.

Fun game, Jason! What happened with that Jets team that seaxon? That was a solid team. Did they make the playoffs? I guess I could Google - more fun to ask you, Hahaha!

How do you deal with penalties? No black die?

Man, listening to those starting lineups... pretty much all HOF guys.

How many plays make up a quarter and half

Is that chart on your google drive? I don’t think I have that one printed out

I have ordered the 1976 and 1995 CFL seasons from Chris. I think I will play it the way you do quarter by quarter. It certainly adds a touch of drama.

I'm really enjoying this but I have one question. On the results chart, what does OL > LB mean and how would that play out?

Good Morning. Just ordered the Big Country Football game book from LuLu but couldn’t wait to play. Print some stuff off the google drive and rolled. Only a half…1985 Miami at San Diego. 17-7 Chargers. Stats.. Miami Marino 7-9 for 58 yds. Team ran for 65 yards a TD. San Diego… Fouts 7-8 with an INT. Team rushing 111 yards. Included a 70 yd TD run by Lionel Little Train James. I’m sure I’ll have questions once I get a few more rolls in.. is this the best place to ask questions??? Thanks. Good stuff !

Dang. I am a Seminole (graduated 1990) but that Hurricanes roster is amazing. Much respect. This got me football fired up first thing in the AM, Jason. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Jason did you post a way we can make our own BCF seasons? I’d like to make some 70’s seasons to play. Love the game!

Will be interested in seeing how your pre-plays match up with real life!

That was pure magic! It’s great to be a Miami Hurricane! Thanks for the match-up! I don’t see anyone capable of beating Miami.

Have a couple of home brew ideas I want to run past you and see what you think: 1. Instead of grading units, I am grading individual players within that unit ensuring the individual grades EQUAL the unit grade. So for instance, if my Backs as a unit grade out to a 0, I ensure the starters and backups for the Back unit grades out as a total of 0 (HB1 +1, HB2 0, HB3 -1, FB1 +1, FB2 -1) 2. Since I am using individual player grades when the chart asks for them, I am also using player locators as well. So in my example above, if my locator has the HB2 running the ball, the run offense is not quite as good since he's not as good as the starter. Also, if the chart has a OL>DL check, I would use my locator to see which offensive lineman is going against which defensive lineman (if the RG is a 0 and the DT1 is -1, the RG wins the matchup). 3. I am adding a D100 for injuries (2% chance). Injuries can be the next series to a season ending injury depending on my chart. Your system is awesome, but I wanted to add a bit my dynamic aspect to the game. Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing.

Miami was dominant that year!

Sweet! How ‘bout a match-up of your Colorado Buffaloes vs my Alma Mater - the U - Miami Hurricanes. Canes were undefeated National Champs in 2001.

Not a huge APBA fan but watching you and seeing a college set makes me exciting. Go UTES

First Eagles possession was a masterful representation of Sirianni play calling.☹️

Game starts at 4:30

Jim Brown - the Gold Standard of NFL running backs.

Steve Young was an excellent and efficient passer who could run really well when needed. Steve McNair was a very good passer who could run and out-physical people when on the run. Fun conversation and good insight as usual!

Sowing seeds for thought yet again, Jason! Randall Cunningham still my all-time favourite QB. Accomplished so much while absent an O-line, any semblance of a decent running threat (from the RBs), and mostly mediocre receivers. Over the course of his career, Cunningham never quite had enough of a supporting cast to secure a championship.

I misspoke, Steve McNair did not come out of UCF.

I downloaded your free version awhile ago and purchased BCF in book version but it appears this is a new or different version correct?

Luuuuu.. he's a LEGEND in Vancouver

You’re absolutely right about the entertainment value of High School football. I watched my older son play and now my younger son has two more years left. It’s the purest!!! Great job as always Jason

Your videos are highly entertaining! Prefer them to the current NFL broadcasts. Plus, any game with the Colts of that era is phenomenal!

Eagles game: Decided on key BAD decisions: 1) Going for it on 4th and 4 in the first quarter while in easy FG range - and failing to convert. 2) The pass call to Barkley (which you mentioned) very late. ATL had just one TO remaining, and would have had to burn it - even if Barkley just flopped down with the ball. Re: luck … I have some problems ascribing luck to much in pro sports. A lot of stuff that seems totally random isn’t. It just SEEMS that way because we don’t know or understand precisely why X happened or didn’t happen. Good teams fumble less. Is that due to having smarter/stronger athletes? Or a result of better coaching? Maybe it’s because there’s a correlation between dry conditions and posting better records? In any case, I sometimes struggle with the idea of throwing hands up with an exclamation of “bad luck!” Even exceedingly rare bad events like a stud FG kicker missing for the first time in 45 attempts are usually explainable - plant foot slips, laces don’t get turned, kicker catches some extra turf and chunks it, breeze kicks up, etc. From a different perspective, “luck” is the term we use whenever things move either from or toward the statistical mean. There’s GOT to be a cause - but it doesn’t necessarily follow that we understand what it is. On a lighter note… the NFL agrees that I’m NOT a shitty placekicker - just really, really unlucky!😂

Great topic! You’ve given me a new way to watch the NFL telecasts! Doing my own APBA ‘65 Colts replay. Completed a single game elimination tourney with all 22 teams from 1965. 49ers won it.

Thanks for posting! I am new to the football game and recently purchased the '58 set. Your game set up video was helpful too. I've played two football games so far and I am starting to get more comfortable with the game flow. I've been an APBA baseball player for decades and have always enjoyed the board game engine.

As an Iowa Hawkeye fan, our mantra the past few years was “punting is offense!” Of course, we had an All-American punter in Tory Taylor (now punting for the Bears) and an elite defense.

Hello Jason!

Coffee & football. Great combo!

Where you’re at…. Kinda important in golf too! I should know! 😡

No Offense this is why I love Rugby. I can score and tackle. I'm in

You basically can go to the kitchen to get something to eat and drink whenever they kick off. I would like a combination of kicking from the 25 or 30 yard line to make it more difficult to kick into the end zone and, like the CFL, give up a point if you don’t return it out of the end zone. The great thing about giving up the point is that it could open up the possibility of having to go for a 2 point conversion. If you’re behind 18-10 late in the game because you gave up a point on a kickoff and you score a TD, you have to go for two to tie the game. That means more excitement. Here’s another idea (not related to your discussion, but something I think should be considered) - make field goals over 50 yards only worth one point 25-50 yard field goals worth two points, and any field goal less than 25 yards three points. Why should you get three points when you haven’t even crossed midfield. I know people will argue that it would mean more punts, but maybe it would make for a more exciting game.

The Maple Leafs are my second-favorite hockey team and I have family in Toronto so I guess the Argos are my team. But dang those Winnipeg jerseys … Can’t wait to see how this plays out!

I used to have this game when I was young. It could have been a base of an early computer game, with all of those probabilities. FYI... Labatt's, who had a large brewery in Winnipeg, named a beer after the Blue Bombers. Labatt's Blue.

Brock briefly went through a phase where he went by “Ralph”, but I can’t remember how early that was in his career. Met Slade Willis at a BC Lions open practice when I was a kid. Very nice guy.

Bruce Smith (Bills) was born in 1963. So unless they let 15-yr olds play in the CFL, I don't think it's the same one.

WPG is the cloest CFL city to me (~8-9 hr drive), and I've been to WPG before, so they are my team.

Cool

WPG DE Willie Jefferson is the CFL’s answer to Ted Hendricks - dude has more knockdowns than half the Bombers’ secondary!

Guarantee contracts ruined sports The kick off they want to eliminate less play for injuries Put Flags on them get it over with so I can stop watching football

It’s copy cat off the XFL
