This is what I used to do with the Lions in Super Tecmo bowl. Jerry Ball FTW!

Yeah, I don't know how many of you guys played all the way through. It was easy during the regular season to run barry Sanders for 600 yards a game. But in the post season the opposing defenses get progressively faster and get more and more blitzes. I played Philly because Cunningham was the fastest QB and could buy a half second in the case of a blitz and hit the TE or make consistent 4-5 yard runs when the line held but everyone was covered.
You may be thinking of Tecmo Super Bowl. In Super, there was no taking him down -- even if the computer/opponent picked the exact same play you did.
He wasn't completely unstoppable in Tecmo Bowl. Bo Jackson could get stuffed behind the line of scrimmage just like the other running backs if the computer picked the right play.
So, I did this:

Howie Long is pretty good on D, but if the Raiders had an LT (who wouldn't need to be pulled off the line for coverage), then 100 and beyond wouldn't be out of the question

agreed
same here
while the Raiders were better overall, I didn't mind the challenge, especially when Barry Sanders is easily one of my all time favorites

Apologies for resurrecting this corpse of a thread. I hold an annual original Tecmo Bowl and original R.B.I. Baseball tourney in Omaha....so its a topic of interest. Held our Tourney March 24th, with 20 playing Tecmo and 16 playing RBI. We get some talented guys to come play each year.
Chicago is the most talented team in the original Tecmo. Elite kick returner(Gentry), elite RB(Payton), and an elite defender at every level of the defense with McMichael(DL), Singletary(LB), and Duerson(DB). Kicker Kevin Butler can hit from the longest distance as well.
My gripe with Chicago is that their passing playbook is a tad conservative, and their WRs are garbage. McMahon has a weak arm also. Singletary finds himself blocked on every run play that you don't correctly guess, so honestly I use a lot of Dent(top D-end) or Duerson all game and call a lot of top run plays to keep blockers off those 2 guys. Despite that, Chicago is freaking powerful.
NY is one of the top teams, but they aren't flashy. Banks and LT on defense is all you need to attack offenses from different halves of the field. Sean landeta can unload 76 yard punts, so the opponent always has to drive like 80 yards on them. NYs offense is kinda trash, but you really just need to not screw up with INTs and force your opponent to drive the field. Joe Morris is pretty mediocre, but keep running and eventually he'll bust a decent run or 2.
SF is a bona-fide top team. I'm pretty good at defending them, so I don't really fear them much. As good as Ronnie Lott is, if you have a legit RB, you go attack him over and over. SF is best at torching people that don't have a strong defensive acumen.
I really like Denver. Powerful run game with pulling guard to neutralize top DBs(Lott/Duerson/Dixon for example), and Elway has zip on his passes. They aren't a juggernaut any.where on the field, but I think of them as the swiss army knife of Tecmo. They do most things pretty well. Their special teams are horrendous though. Weak punter and FG kicker. Punter can only kick about 55 yards...compared to Landeta's 76. Field position issues for Denver cause problems.
Indy is up there. Hear me out.... You have to use the version with Eric Dickerson, and you need to be a jedi knight with your noodle armed QB(Jack Trudeau), because he tosses lollipop passes. Key is to let routes develop and move the defender downfield then toss to the underneath stuff. You need to sit in the pocket in the face of the rush to do that though. Dickerson is the key to the offense. He forces defenses to call a lot of run plays. Dink and dunk down the field passing. Good punter too. Field position and ball control are Indy's strong suits.
I'l jam through some more team thoughts later.

Video from our recent Tecmo Bowl and RBI Baseball tourney in Omaha.
Had 20 playing Tecmo, 16 playing RBI. With some people entering both tourneys, there were 26 total that played during the day. Over $450 was collected in entry fees and then paid out to the top 5 players in each event. 5 states were represented with players for CO, NE, IA, KS, and IL.
Of the 12 that entered both, only 1 player managed to place top 5 in both tourneys.

In my experiences, the Giants are the toughest team to beat. The combo of Banks and LT is hard to overcome.
If you you understand how run blocking schemes work in Tecmo, then you know that unless you run to the half of the field LT is on (bottom), he's not blocked on top side runs. basically defenders on the backside of run plays don;t get blocked. What makes the Giants defense so good is the fact that you can bounce around between Banks and LT and really minimize the amount of damage even the elite running backs can do.
Washington with Manley/Wilbur Marshall at the top and Charles Mann at the bottom gives you some of that effect. However those guys aren't at the level Banks/LT are. You so have the DB combo of Dixon and Minnifield with Cleveland, but from their positions they aren't as effective at stuffing the run. Banks from the top outside LB position is in a great spot to patrol passing lanes as well. He's virtually in as good as spot as the best DBs (Lott/Duerson). I use Banks more than LT, and against some teams based on their playbook, I'll go most of the game with just Banks.

The national tourneys where a lot of money is at stake just outlaw the NT dive. If you want to use that position of player you either have to go around the lineman or engage the blocker and toss him before trying to sack the QB.

Allen is decent, but only about the 5th best RB in the game. Howie Long is a solid D-end, but playing the bottom end position, he's in a bad spot to get peppered by quick throws to the top WR. In some cases the defense can invoke pass coverage help by the CPU top DB on that top WR. In that scenario, Long is fine, but if the top WR is open, its easy pitch and catch against LA all day. Some people are dead set on using the fastest defender on the field, even when it continues to be a major detriment.
