We went right back down the field and scored again so this doesn't hold up at all.

So this is where analytics does come in. Analytics tells you that this does not happen. It tells you that teams who go for two earlier win more. We know this because people wrote down what happened each time and checked for trends - that's what analytics is!

I'm so exasperated that this isn't getting through lol. That backup QB has to convert a two point conversation anyway. Just later. And if he fails you lose. Or, you try early. And if he fails that aforementioned kicker can be used to get the field goal you need. Which you can setup by playing...

Was a peach!

I guess I'm still hoping that we can scrape into the playoffs and discover something about our team that kick-starts our season. The receiver group in particular is still very talented (including Andrews in that) so if we hit on a formula - like up-tempo or just balls-to-the-wall letting it fly...

Why though? I already spelled out how it gives you a better chance to win the game. Why is it a bad call other than going against football traditionalism?

If I'm putting a positive spin on things: 1. We learned that we can simplify the offense and raise the tempo with great effect. Change it up a little. 2. We learned that Bateman is legit, and if you get him, Brown and Andrews out there running routes and actually trust them then we might just...

Lamar seems to need it *in* the pocket. Maybe they can compare notes lol

Other thing that's bugging me is that we saw a comeback with great play after great play, but apparently that's *all* Huntley/Bateman. Then one play fails and it's "fuck Roman, fire his ass". We call that confirmation bias in my work.

Why would they go for two both times? You go for two there because if you don't get it, you can factor in needing two scores to your tempo and playcalling. If you leave it until late to go for two, the game is over if you don't get it. Either way, you have to go for two sometime. So give...

The funny thing about everyone shitting on Roman's 4th and 6 "call" (Huntley's hot route read) is that it's exactly what everyone has been screaming for to beat the blitz for weeks.

There's not even a debate to be had. Not going for 2 there is just handing the advantage to the opponent.

I hope not because that's not analytics, it's basic adding up. You're down 24-15. You need a TD and a field goal. You're down 24-16. You need a TD and a field goal or a 2pt try. You're down 24-17. You need a TD. So you either go for 2 on one of your TDs or you might as well literally kneel...

So Huntley is really frustrating. Obviously a little limited deep, but made some amazing plays. However, when he gets out the pocket it's like he forgets he's playing football and just wanders around looking for an open guy until he gets whacked. They need to tape an airhorn to his helmet in...

What's this in reference to?

Ah man. That ending sucks. Looked like another exciting comeback! Deflated now.

Missed it in the moment but everyone in my chat group says "because he had a man in his face and had to get rid".

I knew they wouldn't do it. Fucking scrubs.

Say it with me everyone.

I. Believe. Again.
