Watching the Colts-Chargers game this evening brought an interesting issue up for me regarding sim gameplay. Peyton Manning caught the Chargers in a substitution package, went no huddle (in the middle of the 3rd quarter), caught the Chargers unprepared, and threw a 62 yard touchdown to Reggie Wayne.

For me, this sort of play calls into question the theory that running no huddle except for late game situations is cheeze and that hiking the ball before your opponent has fully settled in and done all his adjustments and such is cheeze. I personally allow my opponents to set their adjustments within reason, and I allow them to finish their audibles (for example, if they're in zone and audible to man, I'll let everyone get set). However, seeing this kind of play irl makes me wonder if it should be considered cheeze to do otherwise.

There are certain plays I call just hoping I'll catch my opponent in a zone. If I do, I know what my options will be. Should I have to wait for them to adjust when teams in real life don't?

Thoughts?

(PS: Saw a TE reverse in the Colts game, too, lol).
