    The Arizona call I thought was ok but subjective. I wanted them to punt, so I felt a lot better about driving the field than stopping them. I think they were probably also thinking we could milk most of the clock if we drove down the field and if they failed on 4th they’d still probably get another possession. In general I’ve noticed analytics favor aggression in football, and in baseball it can be more of a mix depending on variables. Not that I am or will ever be close to qualified to be an NFL head coach or a football coach at any level for that matter, but I have wished for years that coaches would start using a little more logic and statistics in their game decisions. I remember watching the Packers have the ball on 4th and inches at the Eagles 40 in the 4th and 26 game in early 2004 and they could have iced the game and naturally Sherman punts. That was against Andy Reid too and of course the rest is history. I remember even thinking at that time it was crazy not to try going for 4th and inches over what amounted to be 20 yards of field position with the touchback but sadly most HCs at that time would have done the same. Nowadays I doubt there is one. In that way I think the game has definitely changed for the better and coaches are making choices based on what is the true best chance to win and not out of fear of what the media will say.

    I’ve played every version of Madden at least sparingly since probably 2003 but I don’t recall ever being forced to punt.
  3. adambr2
    That’s kind of what I figured. I know you can’t take analytics as gospel but I assumed a strong recommendation to go for the 4th.
  4. adambr2
    Not necessarily true. There was still enough time to get the ball back if you fail on 4th. You need to hold them to 3 and out, but either way, you aren't winning the game if you can’t stop them from driving down the field, even if you make a FG. ”Kick the FG to tie it there” makes it sound automatic. If it was, I imagine the discussion is different. You have a street kicker with a special teams unit that has already allowed two blocked kicks this year. I imagine the difference in odds between a successful 47 yard FG and a successful 4th down conversion were marginal at best.

    One thing that needs to be considered when making these decisions is that getting into FG range used to be like a 45-50 yard task (touchback at the 20, drive to the 30 or 35). Nowadays you’re starting with touchbacks at the 35 and most kickers have leg for 60 or beyond. So you’re talking maybe 20-25 yards to get in range. Case in point the 7 second drive before halftime. It took absolutely nothing but a touchback, an intermediate route against a soft zone, an immediate timeout and a kick. I felt nearly certain that if we kicked we were losing either 23-20 or 26-23.

    I think the biggest thing they have going for them is that everyone else looks equally as mediocre. Tampa Bay is technically the best team in the NFC, and it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if we went into their place and beat them. Or lost. Same with the Rams, Lions, Vikings, 49ers and Eagles. Wouldn’t shock me either way. Sheesh honestly you could add 5 more teams to that list. It’s really anybody’s conference this year. Regular season record and playing as many playoff games at home as possible will be a big deal.

    I’m going to totally disagree. As good as Havrisik has been for us, he was 4 for 9 from 40+ before getting here. They were talking on the broadcast like this kick was a chip shot. 47 yards, on the road, pressure situation, for a guy who was on the couch 2 weeks ago, is no sure thing. Then even IF you make it, you still have to hold them out of FG range (which we didn’t do). Then even IF you do that you still have to win in OT. Just too many things you need to go right if you trot the FG kicker out there. Going for it was the right call and also helped burn more clock off.
  8. adambr2
    Now why would you do that to us?
  9. adambr2
    Just so people have their expectations in check on what “go for it” actually means. Our version of “go for it” is something the Dodgers would find to be …adorable, would be one way to put it.

    As an owner of Kyler Murray in several dynasty superflex leagues I am not feeling great about it.
  11. adambr2
    My guess is roughly the same. Freddy has a cheaper contract but Burnes had the better track record and was more of a reliable workhorse. Something around the same value but obviously different in structure. I dunno. Ortiz looked like a pretty good acquisition a year ago and now not so much.
  12. adambr2
    Let’s put some respect on Lucas Havrisik’s name. If he doesn’t connect from 61 for the franchise record, Arizona likely wins it with a FG on that last drive. He came through yet again.

    This defense has not been as good as it should be yet this season but it has not been because of Parsons.
  14. adambr2
    Gary always overpursues.
  15. adambr2
    lol Hobbs. What a terrible signing by Gute.
  16. adambr2
    Kicked it into the end zone for mistake number 1. Now they only need to go 65 yards.
  17. adambr2
    Whew. In real time I thought I saw a slight bobble.
  18. adambr2
    Lol. Matt Lafleur and his 3rd and short calls . You can’t make this crap up.
  19. adambr2
    Now you absolutely have to capitalize with 7.
  20. adambr2
    That would have been classic Packers if we gave up the 4th on a 12 men penalty.
  21. adambr2
    Packers defense: “We finally got a stop to hold them to 3! Keep it rolling?” Packers offense and special teams: “Lol naw”
  22. adambr2
    When I pointed out that Stokes had to settle for a small one year deal and Hobbs got a big multi year deal despite them being nearly identically rated on PFF, I was told Stokes was garbage and Hobbs was super underrated.
  23. adambr2
    Hafley has really not impressed me this year. You add one of the best pass rushers in the game and somehow you don’t really improve?
  24. adambr2
    Me: “Sweet 7 second drive before half to salvage 3! Can we make some adjustments at halftime, come out and regroup, and build on that?” Packers: “Lolol 3 and out coming up for ya”
  25. adambr2
    That will be interesting trivia in a few years.
