Ted’s Discuss: Simulating the 2024 Seattle Seahawks season in Tecmo Tremendous Bowl

In what I’m hoping will grow to be a yearly custom, it’s time to simulate the 2024 NFL season within the traditional online game Tecmo Tremendous Bowl for the Nintendo Leisure System. As I defined final 12 months, a gaggle of devoted followers are holding the sport alive with roster updates. The one used this time was created by SBlueman similar to final 12 months and featured rosters as of Aug. 8.

The identical caveats additionally nonetheless apply in that because it’s simply an replace to the unique recreation, there isn’t the flexibility so as to add the seventeenth common season recreation nor the seventh Wild Card staff. We’ll make do with what we have now.

So, how did the season go for the Seattle Seahawks in Tecmo Tremendous Bowl 2024?

Similar to final 12 months, the sport is anticipating a 9-7 report. Nevertheless, that might solely be adequate for third within the division as a result of the Rams and Cardinals had a freakin’ tie…which wouldn’t be the craziest factor to be sincere. It’s definitely not a courageous take to say that each the 9-7 report and third place end are a sensible situation. I’m anticipating the Seahawks to win 7-9 video games this 12 months although I admit that they’ve the expertise degree to push double digits.

2024 Season Statistical Spherical-up

*Solely gamers with notable stats are proven. Do not forget that that is just for a 16-game season.

Offense

Geno Smith – 134/225, 3,137 yards, 59.5% completion, 33 TD, 21 INT, 82.8 QB ranking

Ken Walker III – 166 carries for 1,332 yards and 12 TD, 9 catches for 299 yards and 1 TD

Tyler Lockett – 36 catches for 846 yards, 7 TD

DK Metcalf – 35 catches for 846 yards, 8 TD

Jaxon Smith-Njigba – 34 catches for 664 yards, 13 TD

Noah Fant – 20 catches for 482 yards, 4 TD

The twenty third general offense within the NFL within the first 12 months underneath offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb? Would individuals be pining for the times of Shane Waldron? I believe everybody would take the 33 TDs from Geno however undoubtedly not these 21 INTs. He takes care of the ball too effectively for that to truly occur. Okay-9 having a breakout season can be superior and that dashing yardage can be probably the most by a Seahawks RB since 2012 when Marshawn Lynch had 1,590 yards. Geno was undoubtedly spreading the ball round for the way shut the reception totals are with the highest 3 WRs. JSN had the least catches and yards however received out in a giant method with 13 TDs! Even Fant obtained in on the motion after being held out of the tip zone in 2023.

Protection

Uchenna Nwosu – 14 sacks

Boye Mafe – 9 sacks

Jarran Reed – 7 sacks

Leonard Williams – 6 sacks

Byron Murphy – 4 sacks

Tyrel Dodson – 6 sacks, 1 INT

Jerome Baker – 7 INT, 2 TD

Riq Woolen – 1 INT

Devon Witherspoon – 4 sacks, 3 INT

Julian Love – 3 INT

Rayshawn Jenkins – 2 INT

At the least the Seahawks didn’t end close to the underside in complete protection underneath Mike Macdonald. Nwosu’s sack complete is probably going a handful too excessive, however the different DL are fairly near what I might anticipate. Dodson with 6 sacks and Baker with 7 INTs can be a Hell of a free company coup for John Schneider on the LB place! The DBs manufacturing doesn’t appear too out of whack for probably the most half exterior of hoping that Woolen can reel in additional picks. Then once more, if nobody is throwing to his facet it will likely be onerous to get INTs.

Particular Groups

Jason Myers – 12/13 FG, 47/48 XP

Michael Dickson – fifth within the NFL in common at 51.5 yards

2024 NFL Playoffs…based on Tecmo Tremendous Bowl

After predicting a wild card berth for 2023, Tecmo Tremendous Bowl 2024 has the Seahawks on the skin wanting on this 12 months. In addition to the Chicago Bears successful the NFC North, there aren’t a ton of huge surprises for playoff groups.

Final 12 months, the anticipated Tremendous Bowl featured the Cleveland Browns taking down the Dallas Cowboys which clearly didn’t come to move. Weirdly sufficient, although, Nick Chubb was injured so the sport obtained that right. What do we have now this 12 months?

For the 2nd 12 months in a row, Tecmo Tremendous Bowl likes a San Francisco vs. Dallas NFC Championship recreation and on the AFC facet, it’s Buffalo vs. Kansas Metropolis.

Cowboys vs. Chiefs? *raspberry noise*

(Yawn)

The Chiefs full the 3-peat which is one thing. Congratulations, I assume?

I didn’t attempt to affect the outcomes in any respect in order that’s the way in which the cookie crumbles. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable to jot down this and hope to be again with one other one for Tecmo Tremendous Bowl 2025!
