Nerds: The Final Trog Frontier
According to Warren Sharp the next frontier is when the nerds figure out how to successfully implement laterals into footbaw while minimizing fumble risk
Nerds: The Final Trog Frontier
what's weird is people think of this basic math as "advanced analytics" but its obviously not. i feel like every time i saw a Ravens game last year they talked about the one guy they hired for ANALYTICS who basically told them to go for it on 4th down more lol
PATs are around 94% i believe, but 2 points are actually like 48% or something. however - and this is mostly speculation - teams probably have kickers take 1000 XPs a week and they have like two plays they practice a few times that they might use at the 2. you also have some offenses who are better and some kickers who are worse, so its all relative
weirdly, the jags were the first team i'd saw for go 2 when down 9 a couple weeks ago, then the cowboys did at the 4:00 slate and ended up winning because, surprise, knowing you need two scores is way better when there's 6:00 minutes on the clock then being down 2 with 11 seconds left.
If you get the two point conversion, the game is over barring absolute insanity. I wish more corches would do this. Yeah, if you kick then the Titans have to go for two, but were the Texans really going to stop the Titans from getting two yards anyway? It’s analytics, but it’s also contextual; the Texans were getting torched. That’s good corching, but it didn’t work out so now all the trogs will be upset and it’ll never happen again. It’s similar to how you should go for two when down 14 because if you assume 50% for two point conversion, you’ll either get the first one and have an advantage or get the second one and tie up the game anyway. I think this happened in the Jags game against the Texans funnily enough. People are so terrified of going for two when they should be taking advantage of it, especially when the NFL incentivized it not that long ago.If Houston makes the PAT, they are up 8. It forces the Titans to go for two. Again, maybe they convert and still win in OT. But at least make them attempt the 2, which is more difficult to convert than the 1. Just make it a little harder. Then again, maybe they thought they had the right play call. If the pass hadn't been batted, they would have converted.
They changed that rule in the off-season to close that loop holefuck backlash, how many times since vrabel pulled that during the playoffs (which I'm sure every NFL corch was watching) has a team been in basically the exact same position and didn't do it? these people are just idiots.
i was fine with going for 2 - and in retrospect knowing that the titans kick the XP you DEFINITELY go for it
BRUIN DAD a genius. Did you mention FRAUDGERSPORKERS to lose by 20 according to BruinDad @Yankee151

What a redemption story in for the Cocoa cornerback.
Every game should be a BBQ BOWL
Did anybody see the end of the Titans/Houston game? I thought I saw this real time but I had to go back to check to make sure, but Vrabel had one of the smartest FOOTBAW corching decisions I've seen in a long time:
Houston has a 2nd and 1 from like the 15, so he intentionally sends 12 players on the field to give them a first down AND stop the clock. It basically forced Houston to only have one more first down to run clock while also stopping the clock on the first down (obviously very high odds of them picking it up). On the broadcast, you can see a Titans player looking over and asking him wtf is going on and Vrabel gives him one of those "hand pushing down 'relax' motions."
I know nfl corches are generally mongs but fair play to him for that. There's stuff like this that should happen literally every game but no one asks anyone who would know/corches worried about the backlash. Refreshing to not see obvious advantages thrown away and in this case it probably won them the game
Imagine if the NFL had "Unwritten Rules" like the MLB
Just discovered yesterday is this 6 month old "A FOOTBALL LIFE" featuring Cris COllinsworth. Around the 10:40 or so mark I see for the first time live action footage of Collinsworth playing Quarterback for Astronaut high. This is what ma'mom would see if she had been able to go to games. Which if I remember correctly she didn't go, due to ma'grandpa forbidding it.
Never lost a game in Jerry World, not gonna start nowSLIDER
Kingsburys' reputation as an offensive savant has grown with each stop thanks, in part, to his willingness to be creative and adapt.
"There's a lot of offensive coaches who spend an extreme amount of time figuring out what the defense does," said Cardinals wide receivers coach David Raih, who also coached with Kingsbury at Texas Tech in 2013. "He's more concerned about what we do, which is a very aggressive way to play offense."
To Kingsbury, that was a natural way of approaching offensive football. "It always made sense to me that we're the one with the snap count, we're the one who controls the tempo, so make them react to us," he said.
It has led to high praise.
Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake described him as a "mad genius."
Cornerback Patrick Peterson said he's a "mad scientist."
Left tackle D.J. Humphries called him "the wizard."
Texas Southern coach Clarence McKinney, who coached with Kingsbury for five years at Houston and Texas A&M, said: "It's like the 'Rain Man.'"
Brandon Jones, the Houston Cougars' offensive line coach who held the same position with Kingsbury at Texas Tech in 2017 and 2018, said, "It's like something I've never seen. It's like 'A Beautiful Mind.'"
6 FG’s in New England did the trick! Horse face fuck Elway shit eating grin like they won the Super B Owl!Lol Denver won?
TUA! Where does Fitzmagic go?
Streaming down their faces. Tua simply wiped the tears away with his thumb as he tilted their head up by the chin. He looked them all in the eyes and said, “don’t cry my sons. We will go to the promised land together” and then his dad beat him with jumper cables.
