Tecmo Browns - Week 4

SLOPPY RAVENS RELY ON DEFENSE TO DEFEAT BROWNS
WEEDEN'S WOES CONTINUE WITH 4 INT

27 Sept 2012
Baltimore, MD

The Ravens, working on an extremely short week, played three and a half quarters of sloppy football before pulling away from the ailing Browns. Ray Rice, setting the tone for much of the game, fumbled on Baltimore's first play from scrimmage, setting up an eventual Cleveland field goal. The Browns tacked on a 2nd Quarter field goal to lead 6-0 before Anquan Boldin, set up by a Weeden interception, caught a 40-yard TD pass to close out the half.

Tecmo Browns - Week 3 Recap

TSB 2013 Predicted: T.Richardson; 14 carries for 80 yards.

What Happened:      T.Richardson; 12 carries for 27 yards.

Hit the nail on the head here; TSB tacked on a meaningless run at the end of the 4th to pad T-Rich's stats.

TSB 2013 Predicted: B. Weeden; 22% Accuracy, 48 yds, 0 TD, 3 INT

What Happened:      B. Weeden; 62% Accuracy, 237 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT

Although 237 yds and 2 picks don't make for stellar numbers, Weeden seems to be doing better than TSB expected. And honestly, not many NFL QB's would put up numbers as horrible as a 22% accuracy rate.

TSB 2013 Final Score: Bills 23 - Browns 0
Actual Final Score:   Bills 24 - Browns 14
Like the Browns week 1 game against the Eagles, TSB seems to understand well how ineffective the Browns Offense is against a strong Defensive front. Without Richardson to set up the play action and keep the LBs honest, Weeden and Co. don't stand much of a chance.

Tecmo Browns - Week 3

BILLS DEFENSE OVERPOWERS STRUGGLING BROWNS
WEEDEN THROWS 3 INT IN 23-0 LOSS

23 Sept 2012
Cleveland, OH

The (Tecmo) Browns fell to 0-3 Sunday, unable to find an answer for Buffalo's strong Defensive front. After a promising showing the previous week in Cincinnati, the Browns Offense relapsed to ineptitude, 3-and-outs and turnovers giving Buffalo a perpetual short field. Despite having the deck stacked against them, the Browns defense, led by a strong performance by Kaluka Maiava, held the Bills to just 2 field goals in the first half.

This is The Voice

(Fade in on title card for “The Voice.” A female voice singing plays over the title. Fade in to The Voice stage, JULIETTE SAUNDERS belting out a song center stage.)

JULIETTE

Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are…

(Cut to judges in their chairs. From left to right they are ADAM LEVINE: twitchy and rail thin with tattoos which seem to multiply each time the camera cuts back to him; CEE-LO GREEN: Rotund bordering on obese, dressed in silk pajamas and oversized sun glasses, a parrot on his shoulder; CHRISTINA AUGILERA: her platinum wig streaked with lime green tangles, her shirt cut low so her breasts sit front and center, airing herself with a lace fan; and BLAKE SHELTON: wearing strategic stubble and a black vest over a plaid shirt. They sit, nodding, some with eyes closed, lost in the music. CHRISTINA feints toward her button but sits back.)

JULIETTE

…Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky…

(Cut to judges as CEE-LO GREEN mashes his button, swinging his chair around to face JULIETTE.

CEE-LO

Awwwww yeaahhh.

This sets of a chain reaction, where ADAM LEVINE, CHRISTINA and BLAKE SHELDON all hit their buttons as well.)

JULIETTE

(With ridiculous emphasis)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star… Hoooow I wooooondeeeer… Whaaaat yooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaare!

(The song ends with a flourish to enthusiastic applause from the crowd. CARSON DAILY, slicked hair and a leather jacket over a shirt and tie, joins JULIETTE on stage)

JULIETTE

Thank you, thank you.

ADAM

What’s your name, honey?

JULIETTE

Juliette Saunders.

ADAM

And what do you do?

JULIETTE

I’m a medical student.

ADAM

(Twitchy, lots of gesticulation, shifting in chair.)

Wow. You’re amazing, I mean, and obviously you’re gorgeous, so… You’ve got that going on… You know, that’s, that’s why I pushed my button, love, because I could hear in your voice that you… that you’re… so… hot. Damn. Can I get your number?

JULIETTE

I, what?

CHRISTINA

Shut up, Adam. Trust me, Juliette, I’ve been there, and (holds up thumb and forefinger stretched wide) remember his last name is ‘Levine.’ (Brings thumb and forefinger together until they’re just an inch apart while she mouths the word “jew.”) You’re not missing much.

ADAM

Hey! It’s average!

CHRISTINA

You’ve got a great tone, Juliette, but if you want to (singing a long vocal run) Heeeeyeeeyeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhougaaaaaageeegaaaaah!

JULIETTE

(Turns to CARSON)

I don’t…

Tecmo Browns - Week 2 Recap

TSB 2013 Predicted: T.Richardson; 12 carries for 32 yards.

What Happened:      T.Richardson; 19 carries for 109 yards.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

TSB 2013 Predicted: B. Weeden; 55% Accuracy, 125 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT

What Happened:      B. Weeden; 70% Accuracy, 322 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT

TSB overestimated the Bengals D or underestimated the Browns 0.

TSB 2013 Final Score: Bengals 24 - Browns 7
Actual Final Score:   Bengals 34 - Browns 27
TSB got the end result right, but the process was off. The Browns Offense actually showed up against a lesser defense. Take away the penalties and the punt return and its maybe a W for the Brownies

Tecmo Browns - Week 2

So the Browns week one game (both the Tecmo and NFL versions) stung a little, losing to the Eagles in heartbreaking fashion*. But week two offers the promise of a Cincinnati team reeling after being taken to the woodshed by Baltimore. And right off the bat, it's good news for Brownie Nation:

Apparently he was just verklempt over
the Brown's pitiful Week 1 Offense

QUICK STRATEGY ASIDE: Against the Bengal's thin D-Line, the Tecmo Browns would be smart to play smashmouth with Trent Richardson. A few beast runs and the passing lanes should open wider than a hooker's... well, you get it.

Tecmo Browns - Week 1 Recap

TSB 2013 Predicted: T.Richardson; 14 carries for 40 yards.

What Happened:      T.Richardson; 19 carries for 39 yards.

I'd say that's pretty damn close.

TSB 2013 Predicted: B. Weeden; 25% Accuracy, 70 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT

What Happened:      B. Weeden; 34% Accuracy, 118 yds, 0 TD, 4 INT

TSB came within the margin of error for accuracy and yardage, but failed to predict how being trapped under the American Flag would cause Brandon to throw those extra 2 picks.

TSB 2013 Predicted: The Eagles D-Line negating Richardson and making drop-back passing near impossible.

What Actually Happened: The Eagles D-Line (save one, glorious, head-crushing run) negated Richardson and forced Weeden into too many bad throws.

TSB was actually kind to the Brownies, here, predicting marginal offensive success in the first half which never materialized.

TSB 2013 Predicted: The Browns defense being overpowered by Vick and his multiple offensive weapons.
What Actually Happened: The Browns defense (despite being on the field almost 75% of the game) held together pretty well.
TSB failed to factor in how poorly Vick throws under pressure. Also, because there are no penalties in the game, TSB had no way of anticipating the Eagles killing multiple drives and giving away 110 yards with penalties.

TSB 2013 Final Score: Eagles 31 - Browns 7
Actual Final Score:   Eagles 17 - Browns 16
Although off in predicting a final score, the actual game played out much as TSB predicted. Given their Time of Possession and total yardage, the Eagles should have put up 31. Offensive penalties and turnovers kept their score low.

Tecmo Browns - Week 1

Anticipating the kickoff of the Browns 2013 campaign this coming Sunday, we here at keithisgood have decided to simulate the entire 2013 Browns schedule with the most impressive and up-to-date piece of technology available to us: Tecmo Super Bowl. Using TecmoBowl.org's Tecmo Super Bowl 2013 rom (seriously, go download it), we'll go week-by-week, prognosticating and dissecting each 8-bit game.

WEEK ONE

Iggles win the coin toss and choose to...gasp!... receive? Right off the bat it's Rodney Dangerfield for the Browns offense ("no respect!") giving us the ball to start the second half. Hopefully Weeden and Co. make Coach Reid pay for his over-confidence.

Here We Go, Brownies! Here We Go!
