I can't believe they actually got John Madden for this

Kofie: Let's find the optimal play for any situation using the advice of two experts
Jon: Let's just try to break the game

It's been 25+ years, but I finally have a place to mention the time I won the Super Bowl with the Bengals in Troy Aikman Football in SNES just by running flea-flickers every single play.

We now return to Jon Bois dragging his friend into the void with him.

Makes you feel bad for Calvin Johnson all over again.

Kiv: Lawful Good
Richard: Lawful Evil
Kofie: Neutral Good
Jon: Chaotic Evil

"We put it to a poll"

Lets be honest, Jon's gonna win, as of posting this he has 75% of the vote
Honestly I think he'd win even if he had the worst play. Because we love him and the chaos he brings.

“They missed a lot of blocks”
As a lifetime Lions fan, I can say the game got that right

“Pick the greatest play”

No wonder Calvin retired, they made him run the same route for a whole year.

"Hi Jon? Hi it's Arthur in Atlanta. So we have Julio Jones and Matt Ryan and... an opening at head coach. So we were wondering"

When chess grandmasters play computers, they often start with archaic openings they’d never play against human opponents. As computing power has increased, chess engines have more or less figured out the most common opening moves; an obsolete and fundamentally unsound move, they think, has a better chance of confusing the AI.

Jon has managed something similar, perhaps by accident. For all his remarks of chaotic randomness, I noticed something familiar in his formation: it’s essentially the single wing, which was the predominant offense in the early days of professional football. The backs are offset to one side, and the tailback takes the snap; he rolls out, and either keeps the ball himself, or passes to the end who runs downfield. The T formation and it’s balanced attack exposed the single wing’s limitations in the early 1940s, and it was mostly extinct in big-time football by the end of the decade.

A “real” football team, such as a Group of Five FCS school, could adopt an Air Raid philosophy or a clock-eating Leroy Hoard rushing attack to great success, and many have. No one’s bringing back the single wing. But, the Madden engine is simulating “real” football; it doesn’t know what to do with the single wing.

I’m so early that this video only has 41 views, is currently unlisted, and only accessible through the Jon Bois playlist on the SB Nation page.

Kofie: "I'm not making you guys watch halfback dives all video."
Jon: "I do not care at all what I make you watch. I did 50 minutes on punts and y'all loved it. The receivers line up in the backfield and block."

I love how everyone was thinking soundly about, hmm what play would actually work here, and Jon is like...How do I break this game to make it let me win.

"We don't wanna introduce bias into this so we'll let the viewers decide who wins. The same viewers that absolutely worship Jon Bois lol...."

I'm voting Jon's play because I want Calvin Johnson to go off for like 6000 yards in a season and like 40 TD's

Jon bois releases a video
And it's a part one of a series

God, today is a good day

I like how the guy who’s play was absolutely the best in real football was the only lost and the Play who would absolutely never work in real football won by the most.
