1990: Bears Replay Game 18

This is as far as the Bears went in the 1990 post season, having been defeated by the New York Giants in the Divisional Round.

Final from Giants Stadium: (Game 18 – January 13, 1991)

In this replay, the Bears move on to the NFC Championship Game at Candlestick Park vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

Next: NFC Championship game vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

1990: Bears Replay Game 16

This was a replay that I started 6 years ago, playing out the rest of the 1990 season with Jim Harbaugh not injured down the stretch.

The one game I had played with the full Second Season rules resulted in the Bears beating Tampa Bay 23-10.

As with my 1967 Broncos replay I never went back to it because of the time involved in playing a full game of Second Season.

Now that I’ve rediscoved Second Season Express, football games go MUCH quicker and the results suit me fine.

So here we go with the rest of this replay!

Final from Soldier Field: (Game 16 – December 30, 1990)

Jim Harbaugh throws 5 touchdown passes in the final game of the regular season.

The Bears lost this game in real life, but the win doesn’t affect the standings (Bears still win the division) or the playoff matchups (Bears still face off against the #3 wildcard spot, the New Orleans Saints).

Next up: Wildcard Playoff Game: New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears.

Stay tuned!

1960: Broncos Replay, Game 2

I played the second game of the season because it’s against my friend Lando’s team, the Bills.

I’ll play the first game next.

Final from War Memorial Stadium:

Since this is a quick play, game, there’s really no stats generated, except for TD passes/runs, XPs made, and FGs made.  So I’ll just keep things simple with the box scores.

Football

Al Wilson released a free print-n-play football game.

Fast Drive Football is a drive-by-drive quick play game.  Each possession/drive is resolve with a single roll of the dice, using charts much like many PLAAY games like History Maker Baseball.

I downloaded the rules, charts, and all the seasons available (more added periodically), and printed the 1960, 1972, and 1981 seasons.

I’ll give it a spin soon, after I go over the rules.  If I have time I may replay the entire 1960 Broncos season, even though I’m going to start with their week 2 opponents as a ‘tutorial’.

And it may be obvious which teams seasons I’ll try to replay for the other two seasons that I printed out.

Stay tuned!
