Ravens Ring of Honor
I have never suggested (intentionally) that analytics takes away autonomy of the coach. In fact I’m arguing that it damn sure should not. Some have implied that he makes or should make all his decisions based on the numbers. I disagree with notion. I agree with you about everything else. I just think he made the wrong decision in that particular situation, regardless of what the numbers told him to do. On the second try I have agreed with going for that one.
That is my opinion and it’s not going to change. Lol
I think its gotten to the point whereas its being said it was a good decision when in reality it wasn't. Conventional wisdom has always been to punt on your own side of the field especially in the 1st qtr.
Now just throwing analytics aside Harbs has always been aggressive which drives me bat shit crazy sometimes. For this year it mighta been better if we failed a couple times in the reg season but just saying I'm not sure if analytics made Harbs go for it on that first try.
