See, metrics work if you have enough opportunities. Take baseball. you have 162 games. So metrics works out many times because you have literally hundreds of chances. In the NFL you get 17 chances, that's it. That's what bit LAC in the end. They played as if they had hundreds of chances when they really had one. Metrics works well when you have hundreds of chances to get a desired outcome. not so mich when you have just a few. Example: if I flip a coin 10,000 times the likelihood of coming out 50/50 is rather high. But if I only flip it 10 times, the odds of getting to 50/50 is actually pretty low. It's possible, but it's also pretty likely that I get 1 head and 9 tails. And everything in between. it's also situational. Sure, Staley got away with it several times last season. Mostly against shit-ass teams. And failed miserably against better teams on several occasions. Staley was a fool to let some metric geek cajole him into going for it on 4th and long deep in his own side of the field vs. KC. Against a very good offensive team that scores 90% of the time with a short field. And with a top 15 defense. he was an idiot. And anyone with eyes could've told him that. But he decided to go with the 'new math.' And cost his team a chance at the postseason.

We better treat any series from outside the 20 as four down territory.

i like metrics a lot, but there's so much variance in the nfl that you can largely ignore them and probably be fine. also i think a coach has to consider the mental impact of constantly going for it on 4th down, hitting some terrible run of variance, then telling guys who mostly have very short career windows to "not be results oriented."
i'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation lmao. |

The Chargers won at least 3 games last year they would have otherwise lost without Staley repetitively going for it on 4th down. Week 2 at arrowhead vs the Chiefs, a few weeks later vs the Browns, and Cincinnati. You can say Staley pissed away the 2nd game vs the Chiefs & the last game vs the Raiders by gambling on 4th down but they still picked up an extra win on the season, and that's what the analytics are about. One of the biggest benefit for Chiefs opponents is Andy Reids propensity to punt on 4th & 1 around midfield despite having a top offense.

Go ahead and start it.
I'd start it but I'm going miss it. Probably first game I miss in a decade. Maybe 2nd? **** I hate missing a game.

That’s too much pressure for me. I’d collapse under the weight of it.

The Chargers are better than the Cardinals. That's all I got.

You call that a benefit? I'll take Andy Reid record as a HC and most wins last 5 years in the NFL so although you make a good point Andy Reid record speaks for itself. I mean he has like thev5th most wins of over 300 HC that have coached the NFL so that's saying something and he doesn't have to cheat like Bill Bilichic. I see what you are saying but disagree it's a benefit. Now how is it going be a benefit when our defense becomes top 10 in the league?
