All Human Home Team Season

[Carther]

     I have been playing a complete season, where I play as the home team every game.    The only hacks I put in were the KR and PR hacks that use the correct speed of the returner and I also pumped up the juice so the games would at least be interesting to play.    I made rules where I could only control d-backs on defense, and I had to punt, kick field goals on 4th down, unless it would be realistic to go for it.    I have also been trying to replicate offensive style during the 1991 season, as well as, no playbook changes.

     So far I have just completed the 9th week of the season.   As the home team my record is 80-wins and 35-losses.  The real home teams were 70-wins 45-losses, during the real 1991 season up to this point.   I have kept track of fumbles.   So far there have been 201 fumbles with 135 being recovered by the defense.    The leaders in plus/minus are the Raiders at +11 and the Seahawks are the worst at -9.   The most prolific fumblers are Humphrey - Den, Okoye-KC, Word-KC,  and Fenney - Minn  all with 6 fumbles.

Are you playing home team as they appear in the game? If I remember the schedule correctly, isn't Buffalo home team for all 16 games? I remember the NES version not distinguishing between home and away in the schedule screen.  Or are you using the actual 1991 schedule to choose your team?

I have been using the actual home teams from the 1991 schedule.
