I’m writing this about the same highlights that most Pythons are probably writing about. Week 8, Kansas City Coyotes vs. Portland Pythons. Rookie Remus Roman was the star of this game with 269 yards on only 5 attempts. That is 53.8 yards per carry with a long of 89 yards with 3 touchdowns to boot.
Roman started the game off very strong with an 87 yard touchdown rush on Portland’s first possession of the game. The Portland locker room went wild, and during Portland’s second possession, Roman took another 54 yard touchdown. His stats less than 10 minutes into the first quarter were 2 rushes for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns. This was absolutely incredible and no one on the team could believe what was happening. On Roman’s third touch of the game, he had a ridiculous 89 yard touchdown run. His fourth touch was a 36 yard gain and his fifth and final was a 3 yard rush for a first down to seal the game.
You would think that the game would be a blowout based on the absolute dominance of Roman, but it was actually very close with a final score of 24-21.
This game showed some limitations of the sim with the hot hand Roman only receiving 5 touches on 53.8 yards per carry and the primary running back, Gio Bianchi receiving 16 touches on 3.3 yards per carry. This is not a slight on Bianchi, as he responded with a great Week 9, but it showcases that the sim is lacking some dynamic systems and play calling.
