Despite our game simulator probably being more conservative when originally programmed 5-6 years ago than today's wide open NFL with much more passing, it looks like we might even be a little behind on for ground performance also with very few sim rushers approaching the total carries by the NFL's most utilized rushers.Code: Select all

If both passing and rushers are down in sim from reality, probably do need to speed up our sim offenses to get more total plays involved within our sim games (other than situations where a team would be intentionally milking the clock in the 4th quarter way up).
Do we have more blowouts? I mean our gm's have no fear of getting fired so selling out teams tends to happen. Thus I think we have more different between the best teams and the worst than the nfl might?
No facts to prove what I said just thinking outloud.
