We made the winless Lions throw to only Calvin Johnson for the entire season | Fumble Dimension

- In 2008, the Detroit Lions finished with a humiliating 0-16 record. That same year, EA Sports released the video game “Head Coach 09.” We’re going to use it to fix these Lions, and we’re going to try to do it by calling just one offensive play for an entire season. Welcome to the Fumble Dimension.

"Kitna leads the league in touchdowns *and* interceptions."
Never go full Jameis
Turnover bakery, right?
Skylar yes sir famous Jameis and his turnover bakery
Got to eat some W's, unlike the actual 08 Lions
I did it expect to get hurt here
I loled
Y'all were a whole new level of naive thinking that Jon's play wouldn't win the vote
Jon's play could have just been "run the halfback into my own endzone" and it still would have won a popular vote lol
@@arachnofiend2859 You're not wrong lmao
300th Like.
@@arachnofiend2859 I legit laughed out loud at this, because I would've absolutely voted for that play.
Jeeves Anthrozaur He could’ve done a QB Sneak and won.
When Kitna walked out of the endzone for a safety my soul died. The game literally predicted Orlovsky doing it.
Same! I literally lost all the breath in my lungs
Me too I screamed its 6 am at the time " that HAPPEND ALREADY "jesus this was sad video man
Skol
He hit the 8 step drop
Happened twice
Mr. Fumble looks as dejected and suicidal as every Lions coach since the 1950s.
Dead
Then came Brad and Dan
“How do lions fans live like this?”
That hit me real hard.
Same. I used to work with a Knicks fan and I was like “dude we’re in Pittsburgh-you can root for whoever you want...just be a Spurs fan...nobody will care.”
He just couldn’t give the Knicks up. I guess that’s loyalty.
@@erocrush hes a true fan
Things have been WAY better since then though. We went from not winning ever to expecting 8-8 or better. Now we blame our once in a generation player for not winning the super bowl. Tell me if this whole thing sounds familiar.
How do lions fans do it.
We’re too distracted with the gangs.
Same
"Calvin Johnson gets invited to the Pro Bowl... Kitna doesn't"
I died.
I mean video game Calvin Johnson is depressing.... imagine Calvin Johnson IRL
most realistic part of this video IMO
"...this play *again* coach?"
"Exactly! Thats what is so brilliant about it! Running the same play we've run 30 times before is exactly the last thing they will expect us to do this time!"
Like when they had berry sanders and the other team knew there was a 99% chance every play that berry would be carrying the ball.
Love the blackadder reference
surmatise barry not berry
I should have known that it was Blackadder reference just from the pfp alone.
@@surmatise don’t listen to them. it’s Berry Sanders. that’s how he got the nickname “the juice”.
a year and change later, I'm still endlessly amused that calling exactly one play that is certifiably batshit insane has done better than the actual 2008 Lions.
I mean yah, but it’s also a video game where everyone’s an idiot
List of scorigami:
50-18 in week 3
42-16 in week 6
48-18 in week 8
No 42-41?
@@Muzikrazy213 42-41 has actually happened twice. Vikings over 49ers in 65. And Chiefs over Chargers in 86.
Igami
42-16 seems like a normal score and it's actually surprising it's never happened in NFL history.
We need a new video about a scorigami that's my favorite episode

“In all my years of playing Madden I have never seen the AI drop back into a safety.”
Yeah, welcome to being a Lions fan. That’s the embodiment of how every season feels.
It could be worse. You can have hope be rebuilt for you throughout the season, with the belief that your team can go all the way, only to watch them lose it all and dash your hope once more...
Aka, being a Viking fan.
@@Tytoalba777 at least y’all have that.
We don’t even dare hope we could be decent most years.
It probably due to the step back that was called for the play. Starting in shotgun and having a 5-7 step drop? Yeah, not the play call on your own 2.
Happened to me for the Dolphins with Tua on a PA from the 1. Probably something to do with it being a left-handed QB messing up the drop
'We've done almost everything wrong and they still want us to stay."
I didn't respect how accurate these video games were until this very moment.
Sounds like the Trump 24 slogan
@@XKloosyvv it also sounds like belichick bringing Joe judge and Matt Patricia in again
game: “add new plays or riot”
mister fumble: “nah”
Should of added 10 copies of the same play
Mister Fumble is the saddest-looking coach I have ever seen in my life
FireIcarus he is a Lions coach
He looks to me like an aged version of the coach from "Coach"
Joe Philbin?
oh i see, you're new, you see, that is matt patricia and matthew stafford in the same body
White guy off men in black
Kofie: "Mister Fumble is a no-nonsense titan whose goal is to crush his opponents using one play."
Mister Fumble: *is actually just a sad old man*
It's what coaching the Lions does to a coach.
Also the actual game says “who’s” so it says quite literally “who is goal is”
"Just another sad old man, all alone, and dying of cancer."
"I mean, it was Dan Orlovsky, of the '08 Lions, who was the only person in real life who I've ever seen voluntarily walk out of the endzone. Accidentally, but voluntarily."
NOT ANYMORE! NFL 2022, Week 3. Jimmy Garoppolo lets Dan Orlovsky off the hook after all these years, as he becomes the SECOND person in recent football history to walk out of the endzone and offer a safety to the opposing team.
And then Gardner Minshew does it for the Colts becoming the first QB to pulll an Orlovsky and still win!
It’s actually pretty common in the CFL. Due to a variety of rule differences, field position is important enough that teams will give up 2 points to push the other team back 30-some yards.
“How do lions fans live like this?”
Because we like pain
Lions are basically the browns with better uniforms
Isaac Belluomini Cleveland is just like Detroit if it had no culture
Nick or Cleveland is like Detroit without the abandoned houses
I apologize for what you have to go through
Wiriestfever65 I’m a cubs fan. Once Rodgers retires and some day the lions get it together trust me it’s so worth it . If you live to see it happen it’s beyond awesome it’s kinda trippy weird awesome
I can’t believe he actually ran out of the back of the end zone like it actually happened
What’s so ironic about it is that Dan Orvlosky did that exact same thing on the ‘08 Lions team that season
As a Lions fan that actually watched every game that year, that moment being recreated in the game was hilarious.
@@JWex-jy7sk they showed that video on this video right so it's not ironic that you're telling us
@@JWex-jy7sk That's exactly what he said. Why are you reiterating the original comment
imagine how we felt watching it live
As a Lions fan, it is one of my biggest regrets in life that we wasted such a beautiful career for Calvin Johnson. Such talent thrown away on our dumpster fire
Imagine how awe inspiring, unfair and straight up league breaking it would have been if Megatron was on the Patriots with Brady and Gronk........
@@joern122 somewhere, in some alternate universe... 😕
*Barry Sanders staring from the shadows, breathing deeply*
@@joern122 or Indy with Peyton Manning
Umm... Barry Sanders or if you're old Charlie Sanders.
Basically, the lions made wasting talent their only talent.
“The bears clearly have not watched any film”
Ya think
Let’s go more fumble dimension making Calvin Johnson retire early
He did retire early
Dumbass.
“How do lions fans live with this?”
Alcohol helps the suffering.
Yeah that’s why basically every Detroit bar is filled with Lions fans every Sunday.
Not to watch the game....but for that part.
The only game that matters is Thanksgiving. Did these Lions win Thanksgiving?
SwedMsu couldnt tell ya. Was too drunk
WE JUST LEGALIZED IT FOR A REASON!
WHOOOOO
Good thing Weed is now legal in Michigan.
Approval rating of 8. "We've done almost everything wrong and they still want us to stay." This is true with the actual 2019 Detroit Lions.
23:49
_"The good news is that we're not the worst team in the league, actually. That goes to the Cleveland Browns."_
Savage.
And the Browns were coming off a 10-6 season in 2007
In real life they massively underachieved to go 4-12 in 2008, the video game found a way to make them underachieve even worse...😂
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that megatron had 5,000 receiving yards
Jack in Black timecode?
24:29
are we all gonna gloss over how good TO was??? he he more receptions by week three than calvin, just saying.
In real life, Calvin Johnson holds the record. It’s even weirder when you think about that
Time is a flat circle. The 08 Lions will ALWAYS self-safety
Hell is a flat circle*
Tyler Blank “there is no escape...”
ok boomer
The look on Kofie's face when Jon is talking about what streaming sports was like in 2008 was hysterical.
This game is SOOOO real! "Our approval rating went from 50 to 8 - and they still want to keep us!" That's exactly what the Ford's would do! Will I ever see the Lions or the Browns in the Super Bowl? I've witnessed the Cubs and BoSox win the World Series... so there's hope. But I'm on the wrong side of 55... so I'm running out of time.
I hope we see a browns lions sb
Mind if we slip the Bengals in? At least Cleveland has NFL championships.
Gary Hall wrong sport.
"This games sucks"
Nope, it's just more accurate then they realize
the browns have a shot
"It's actually the Cleveland Browns"
As is tradition
Poor fella.
This is the way.
nah the lions were worse than the browns were
The browns have one of the best records in the nfl this season at 9-3 right now and they are on a 4 game win streak they could get the number 1 seed so no you are wrong.
@@TheeSportsaholic I know, I'm from Cleveland. Take a look at when I commented this.
Can’t stop thinking about how there is more customization in this maddens franchise than madden 20

Yep, they love adding features one year just to take them away the next.
9:51 "The Lions lose 50-18"
that's Scorigami
"we arent the worst, that goes to the Cleveland Browns"
of course it does :(
Hmmm.. You know... I know another team that went 0-16...
You have my sympanthy.
Ordinarily I'd complain about someone bringing up the pain that was the Lions' 0-16 season but Jon can do no wrong so I will watch this
Y4123 hahaha well yeah it stings but this actually wat Hong was less painful than 08 lol
When you get to the part at 23:50 when you find out that the Lions actually are not the worst team in the league, and that honor goes to what team?
The Cleveland Browns.
I died.
At least they had a win.
There is no escape in any version of reality.
Even in the Hell specifically designed for the Lions, the Browns still beat them there.
TheNumberQuelve
Please refer to the 2017 season finale of Chart Party
This holds true for subsequent seasons; mere mediocrity is apparently too lofty a goal for Cleveland
@@thenumberquelve158 Lol, classic. Well played, sir. Unless you're a Browns fan. Then, I'm truly sorry.
“Hell is a flat circle, there is no escape” As is Lions Fandom
When these two team up they should call themselves "Hey it's YeBois."
Kitna playing like current Jamis Winston, and Calvin Johnson setting every record in NFL history
"Drew Stanton throws a pick on his first possession, then he fumbles on his second possession. Hell is a flat circle. There is no escape." LMAO had me rollin
So glad I had Megatron on my fantasy team in '08

At about 21 minutes you can see they are 100% Lionized... Being a Lions fan this is my reality. I was just happy to see you get a win for us!
I love how these men manage to be so full of life and so devoid of it at the same time
Avengers Endgame: The most anticipated sequel of the generation.
Kofie and Jon: Hold our beers.
Since Jon jokingly brought up Kitna playing by himself you guys should simulate a team with only Kitna at every position and as coach!
That would be fun. Can the head coach self-safety?
You perfectly recreated a lions season and the game also perfectly simulated the Ford's ownership style.
As a lions fan, this was pretty successful season I’d say
Needed to cheat the system to win a game by 1

"Why are you still watching this video?!"
I honestly don't know...
i feel this universe is tucked neatly in between the onion universe and interdimensional cable
As a Lions fan, it’s like watching the actual Lions. Flashes of hope drowned in inexplicable failure. Just the way we like it.
"We've done almost everything wrong, and they still want us to stay." Yeah, because you got an infinity times more wins than the real Lions.
My jaw hit the floor when Kitna went out of the back of the end zone. Art truly does imitate life
The craziest thing I've seen in Madden was on an opening kick off; I was receiving and the kick looked like it would either go out of bounds or just through the endzone, so I just pulled away the nearest kick returner and at the last moment a computer controlled kick returner made this wild dive to the sideline and the other team got two points.
"This is the first bad idea I've ever had before."
I believe it, John. Really, I do.
Tristan M no. It wasn’t his bad idea. Everyone else is bad
It was the best idea I have seen so far today...I'm off to a great start on this glorious Friday the Thirteenth!

@@trace6242 I mean, they won 3 games running just a single play.
Calvin Johnson was so good that I feel like they could’ve gotten away with doing this in real life too 😂
So let me get this straight:
you recreated an entire season with the worst team in the world, under some zany conditions that actually worked extremely well in practice, with the hope of making them winners...
and instead end up recreating the second-funniest play in the history of football.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
...no wait. I'm definitely laughing.
AMAZING video as always
"18...is not the kind lead anyone should have."

This game is actually very realistic, the Lions tend to keep around people that suck at coaching in real life too
What I'm hearing from this is that y'all'll be doing three more season simulations with the other play options to actually determine if those plays are better or worse, and by how much.
Please. I could watch this exact video slightly altered for hours. These dudes are sick.
I'm also here for this.
I am completely on board with this as well

Remember when Madden had features?
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
Yeah the PS2 Maddens were fun.
Eye Conqueror More than fun. They had to keep up with Nfl 2k. No coincidence Madden sucks when there is no competition.
I agree but this isn’t madden bro
This isn’t Madden, it’s NFL Head Coach
TiJoHimself True but regardless. Anything post 2010 Ea Sports football related is really bad.
Matt Schaub started a game this year....in 2019...and threw nearly 500 yards
He's an unreal quarterback every once in a while. That 527 yard game in Houston was absolutely incredible.
beat me to it lol. i remembered being stunned a couple months ago seeing schaub was still in the league, that dude was money for me in fantasy back in 2009
Yeah Schaub almost threw for 5000 yards before everyone else was doing it post 2011

Daniel Zylberberg had Matt Ryan in fantasy.....picked up Matt shuab for that game. I was hyped
I do love the classic 00s animation trope of a train of the entire defensive team chasing one guy in a pack.
I did this experiment with the 3-13 Cards, on all settings. Rookie: 16-0 (Won SB) Pro: 15-1 (Lost in SB) All-Pro: 10-5-1 (Lost in SB) All-Madden 6-10. I used Fitzgerald as wr and Rosen at qb. I had to get rid of bradford because I actually used rosens mobility to give me 1 milisecond extra time, it was suprising I did anything. The All-Madden campaign, despite having a 6-10 season, had the most yards.

JK Clumsy Giants fans had a super bowl that year and have a bright future the lions have a talented roster with the lions

Really though, 2 of your 3 wins were directly the result of a "Defining Moment", so your play really went 1-13.
Bylo Band Give them two wins - the Tampa game was bymore than that one play.
Still more wins than the actual 08 lions
I need a "Don't blame me, I voted for Kiv" bumper sticker.
Grew up in Southeastern Michigan (I cant state that I am from Detroit, because very few live there... most live in the suburbs), and just 20 mins from the glorious Pontiac Silverdome. Too bad they made it too big so they could never broadcast the local game. Anyway, the love for Honalulu Blue and Silver is engrained in us forever (I live in NC, but my heart somehow is with the Lions... and the Hurricanes will practice at a new facility in my town, but I am still with the Red Wings). Anyway, the AI is not at fault here. I am convinced that the coders were smart and had to throw in a few lines of "the Lions must always find a way to lose". The AI of the game cannot ignore this, and hence the result. However, every fall we always have a positive attitude, just as sure we are to see the beautiful colors as the leaves turn. It is just part us us, and I feel compelled to indoctrinate my kids with being a Detroit sports fan!
"too sad even for me." then they BOTH stare desparingly and directly into the hearts of every Lions fan. Thanks, Guys.

Coach celebrated so hard that one of his own staffers disappeared from existence in disbelief.
As a 49ers fan, that first pass to Calvin Johnson is so accurate that it hurts. I still cannot believe the team gave Nate Clements $80 M to get burned over the course of four seasons. Also, now that I've seen the entirety of that 49ers/Lions simulation, I refuse to believe that Calvin Johnson didn't get 50 touchdowns and 123415134071857123871093 yards that day against Nate Clements, never mind the fact that the Lions quarterbacks that day were Stanton and Kitna.

I’m a big Titans fan and I went to that Week 13 game in Detroit, it was the thanksgiving game, I’ll never forget it. CJ2K ran all over the Lions that weak, at the end of it, two men with paper bags on their heads came up to me (who was wearing my Vince Young jersey) say to me “thanks for helping us make history brother!!”. I still laugh about to this day
Let’s be honest, everyone voted for Jon’s play because they want another Pretty Good
"How do you throw 3 picks and still end up with a passer rating of 100.2"
By being Jameis Winston obviously.
Jameis Winston's week 14 stat line: 33-45, 456 yards passing, 4 TD passes, 3 interceptions, 6 rushes for 5 yards, 1 Rushing TD, Passer rating.... 107.3.
Pridewinner wack
It's crazy how much worse quarterbacks were back when a passer rating of 100 was supposed to mean an above average day.
For perspective, Jameis' interception rate is 4.5% this year, the worst of his career. Joe Namath only had 1 season his entire career with an interception rate that low, his rookie season. In 1975 he threw 28 interceptions and 15 TD's in 326 attempts for an 8.6% rate. All told, he had 11 seasons with an INT% over 4.5. Ken Stabler also had 11 seasons above that mark. Bob Griese had 7. Even Warren Moon had 3 and Elway had 2. (Montana had 0, unsurprisingly; I didn't check anyone else). If Jameis were a greasy white guy who played in the 1960's-70's, his numbers this year would be hall of fame worthy.
@@inimitableminimalist The game has changed a lot to favor quarterbacks even in the last 10 years.
So you're telling me you basically just recreated Jaemis Winston's 2019-20 season?😂
The most excitement for the lions is from pre season to week 5 when you have all hope
