Build the team every defense has to solve.
Spin a 12-man all-time roster — a franchise QB, the skill players, an O-line unit, a pass rush and a secondary — off a franchise × era × position slot machine, then run an era-adjusted 17-game season. Star power isn’t enough — win the trenches, balance both sides, and can a complete team go 17-0?
Game modes
How scoring works
- Era-adjusted.Every season is normalized within its own era via EPA & efficiency — a 2000s star and a modern phenom compete fairly.
- QB & trenches win. An elite quarterback, a wall up front, and a real pass rush carry a roster; a hole gets exposed over 17 weeks.
- Weaknesses bite.A bottleneck penalty punishes the single softest unit — a perfect season can’t carry a liability.
- Deterministic & fair. Ranked results are server-computed from your roster, so the same team always earns the same record.
