rlier. I mean if you are going
to use the argument that you want to win or lose with Brady then might as
well let them score really quick and give Brady a shot.
As a Giants fan, I have always respected Bill's football IQ.

Speaking of football statistics, I was reading the other day about a
local high school football team that was celebrating Senior Day for
their last home game (also last game of the regular season). Alas,
they wouldn't be making the playoffs because they lost every single
game that season (0-12 I b
Didn't the XFL have something similar to that?

I have an idea.
Each team can line up any 11 players it chooses, at it's own 20 yard line.
The football is suspended 50 feet in the air above the 50 yard line. At the
sound of the horn, both teams can start sprinting towards mid field...at the
same time, the ball drops...and bounces wherever grav
I think what makes it even more of a bone headed move is who it was
who did it. I would almost understand a rookie coach making that
call, or a coach of a team trying to 'really' his team. But Bill, with
the Patriots? It was just dumb.

I remember finding something similar a while back.
Its like 60% of the time the team winning the coin toss wins game, but
only about 20% do it on first possession.

The NFL has stats on that.this is from memory but, I think the receiving
team wins over 60% of the time.
However, the number of games where the receiving team wins on their FIRST
POSSESSION is quite a bit lower. This is the stat the NFL always breaks out
when they say that their overtime rule
Anyone have access to a DB large enough to see what the winning % of the
kicking team vs the receiving team in OT is?
For some reason, I remember the probability being on the side of the kicking
team even without factoring in the wind which was a major impact in that
game.

Naturally the other team went right down and scored, game over. Hilarious.

I said it will be 'one of' the worst coaching decisions ever, not the
worst (sorry for the caps there).
That distinction, IMHO, goes to 'The Fumble' with Joe Pisarcik (Eagles
fans know it as 'The Miracle at the Meadowlands')

I have not read one article or heard one 'talking head' who thinks it
was the best move.
It was so not worth the risk, I don't care who you are.
Even if it was the first drive of the quarter, it was a dumb move.

I don't think he did it unthinkingly.
I think he believed it was his best move at the time.
I think it is possible that he overthought, and made one more "smart move"
than he needed to to outmaneuver the Colts.
But more likely, I think he looked at the odds, and felt the

1. momentum was CLEARLY on the side of the colts.
2. they had JUST scored.
3. at home, with seconds left, you think peyton's just gonna have a
bad moment? nah.
it will go down as one of his WORST coaching decisions.

I think it means that his defense, especially his defensive backfield, is
worse than I thought.
He was sure that given 3 minutes, and 80 yards, Payton would score on them,
and leave no time left on the clock.
As a Pats fan, my knees are shaking. Hopefully, everyone thinks it was just
a brain far
Curious what the rest of the community thought about Belichick going for it
on 4th-and-2 last night.
Any thought?
